  • Samsung F.A. Porsche Design 171P LCD Review @ PC Stats

    Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2002 | By: Dennis

    I don't normally post LCD reviews but I really like how it was written, kind of reminds me of the Architecture theory/history classes I took in college.

    Here is a quote of a quote.
    "Each design remains faithful to the principle that "function determines form" and that good design "is not style imposed from without, but the expression of the innate life of the object, the striving to portray its functional essence". And, while all F. A. Porsche designs are based on the simple tenet that "form follows function", each creation invariably transcends it."

    Digitimes is saying Serial ATA motherboards will be hitting the market this month but mainstream usage of the new technology won't happen until 2k3. This could be true, especially since I still have yet to find Serial ATA harddrives without a converter.

    All they have to show is a small chart with numbers so of course this could just be the Matrix trying to throw us off the trail.

    The Kyle and the OCP gang finally got a "hook-up" so maybe the skinned knee will start to heal. big grin smile DDR memory is really getting a lot of press lately and what could make it better? Let's see, how about two dual memory channels instead of one. Intel has gotten the answer and should be available later this year.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't doing that also put the chix to sleep too?
