- UPS battery backups, the proper amount for your PC

- Mice: polling rate, types of grips (palm, claw, fingertip) and differences

- RAM Disk, brief explanation

- Less storage than it appears explained (1TB HDD but Windows shows 931GB, why manufacturers measure e.g 1MB = 1000KB instead of 1024KB)

- Powerline networking explained

- LCD, LED, OLED, Plasma revision featuring AMOLED and E-ink

- TV and monitor technology differences (Panels type, response times, imput lag, etc.)

- Power measurements, Watts, amps, mAh and Voltages explained

They have explained RAM disks before :)

- What are RAM timing things, what do they mean? Like these 5-5-5-15 things you see in HWinfo, I have no clue. And what is "matching" RAM, same vendor? How to optimize RAM? Lot's of people just buy fitting RAM with  the same frequency (like 4x 1GB 800Mhz DDR2), but do other things or specs matter and should they all be the same?

- How are freauency's of RAM / FSB / CPU / GPU / GPUMemory linked to each other, is there any link? Can it be optimized?

- Why is Windows saying "7.2GB of 8GB available" on the RAM?

- How to find the correct power supply for your MB / GPU (different generations? different connectors? seperate cables for GPU? I have no idea)

- Best practices about taking backups using the standard Windows Features (recovery disk, scheduled backup, restore point robocopy...?)

- How to check if your hard disk (hdd, ssd) is in good health and if it needs pro-active replacement or not (bad sectors?)

- Does a more powerfull power supply consume more power during idle, or less? Is it linear?

- What is the difference between the 12MB cache on f.e. the Q9650, while the recent fast processors just have 1 or 2MB cache in total. Were these old processors total overkill on the cache?

SSD lifetime, about how they have limited write and read cycles, what happens when the SSD reaches the end of it's life time in terms of reallocating sectors and things of that effect.

stop.... go to techreport. they just finished an extremely LONG benchmark until they finally all died. http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead..............hope they start over with some of todays most popular models. .............

I read it, it's where I got the inspiration from , but I know that they wont get as much coverage as they would if it were  a LTT video, more source of information the better.

I think a techquickie video would be better than reading an article :P

i find videos more entertaining than reading, but you pick up more in the written word.

 

did I say linus should do a test? I take that back. he takes money from too many sources. be hard for him to be impartial.

 

but I do think it's long past due for sites to hammer the shit out of these things ( all popular ) and give us the skinny.  in the Tr report the samsung ended up being the last to die, but what would happen to their most recent pile of crap that they tried the different nand in that they had troubles with ( still have troubles with ) you can't fix a hardware blunder with software updates.  seems like they tried a PNY/kingston thing where they tried to cheapen the drives up but it backfired.

I guess so. Anyway there's probably very little chance he reads these anyways.

I don't want Linus to belittle himself........... BUT.......... I see quite a few threads about people running what most of us would deem obsolete hardware and asking for graphics card upgrades. All to often people suggest cards that are too power hungry for the power supplies listed by the OP,  and all too often there are suggestionjs of cards too powerful for the cpu. Just today an old athlon AM2 cpu and 2 gigs of system ram. ......... blown out of proportion by do-gooders/well wishers.

 

C'mon Linus, belittle yourself. run some old configurations, low end to mid range stuff and see what cards are a waste of time and money for said configurations............ ( these would be machines of lesser stature than you recent $300 builds )

how to choose the right cpu socket compatible for the motherboard

 

pcpartpicker.com

 

This website will do nearly all of the legwork for you. It's compatibility filter wont let you pick incompatible parts (most of the time, it will warn you of any issues) so you can just get to work in picking parts.

 

My advice, start at the CPU, then MoBo and then the rest can be done in any order.
