it's a matter of opinion. that's why i didn't specify. either way, i think that the GTX 460 and the Radeon HD 5850 were pretty good budget cards for their time period.

Question: What was the origin of the Thinkpad branding?

A:The name "ThinkPad" is a product of IBM's corporate history and culture. Thomas J Watson SR., had first introduced "THINK" as an IBM slogan in the 1920s. For decades IBM distributed small notepads with the word "THINK" emblazoned on a brown leatherette cover to customers and employees. The name ThinkPad was suggested by IBM employee Denny Wainwright, who had a "THINK" notepad in his pocket. The name faced disagreements from the IBM corporate naming committee because the nomenclature system for the IBM computers was then numerical; however, the brand name "ThinkPad" was kept as the press showed appreciation for the title.

Q: Why does a 32bit version of Windows not support more than 4GB of RAM?

[target39]

A:Because each byte of memory has to have an address. In a 32-bit operating system, an address is 32 bits long; thus, there are 2^32 possible addresses, which means there are 2^32 bytes = 4 GB.

 

Q:What's the maximum capacity of GPUs can the Z9PE-D8 handle?

It can do quad SLI/CrossFireX

It can do quad SLI/CrossFireX

Actually it can handle up to 8 GPUs (4 for each CPU) drivers just have to be more optimized for it to work more efficiently. I saw someone with a 4x (octo) Powercolor 7990 build log.
