Looking at that makes me think you should have gone for 1920x1200, shame there's no 120Hz at that res (or wasn't at time of purchase).
This probably isn't news to anyone else, but has anyone seen the new Nano? It's ridiculous! Really fucking cool idea, although I can't decide whether a screen on something that small is slightly unusable.

honestly I'm more into the old school Nano look but it makes sense to go this way-touch screen and all as its the future. The real problem is they supposedly got rid of the equalizer and an iPod without an equalizer is like a mountain bike without hydraulics.
They got rid of the equalizer? Seriously? WTF?! I'll stick with my iPod Classic, thank you very much. When it breaks then I'll just get another one.

I assume Hydraulic brakes.
In which case, .Sup knows more about bikes than I thought..

Is the jump from the i5-450M to the i5-520M worth £80?
just a general 'here are the best laptops within various price-ranges' sort of thing.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

I don't really see the point of the new nano form factor, it seems like a touch screen that small would be too hard to use, especially for those with not so skinny fingers.
At this point, I think that the best options are the Touch or the shuffle, and maybe the classic if you want a lot of music on you or in your car.
As far as I know (not 100% on 1366 boards) 1333 is the fastest RAM the i series can use without overclocking.Winston_Churchill wrote:

I've got the ASUS Gamer OSD thing that I can turn on in-game and overclock the GPU via one setting (no messing with voltages or anything) but I have no idea if it's really any good since it only works in-game.

There are no tangible benefits for running memory above 1066MHz if you're not overclocking.Winston_Churchill wrote:

If you do OC, a "1066MHz board" will be fine. Using this 1066Mhz divider at 200 BCLK (up from 133 stock) you'll be at 1600MHz memory speed.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
So just for the SS then. Doh!Little BaBy JESUS wrote:
