Intel H61 vs H67 vs P67 vs Z68 - General-Motherboard - Motherboards-Memory

The reason why I didn't go with the 2500K is because I don't need to overclock. Even though I do play games, the most taxing game I have is Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which could run maxed out on a 5770 and there would be no need for a CPU overclock. Therefore, I settled on the i7, since the extra threads will be useful in the future when programs utilize more threads. I don't think overclocking it to 4GHz will make any difference for me for my uses. Your right, I should go with a micro ATX board if the need arises. I think I will go with the Z68 since the prices are pretty similar Hyperthreading makes use of unused parts of the main core to dispatch a second task.

Building a NAS Server - Super User Blog. After reading a review of the Drobo FS, I became obsessed with network attached storage (NAS).

Building a NAS Server - Super User Blog

I realised that a NAS device would neatly solve a couple of long-standing problems I hadn’t got around to fixing: data backup and data organisation. This post will explain how I picked the hardware and software for my NAS. To buy or to build? The Drobo FS itself, while a compelling product, is expensive. There are also some worrying stories of problems with poor read/write speeds, noise, and the slightly ropey client software.

OS X Lion: How to Do a Clean Install

OS X Lion is now available from the Mac App Store and we know that many of you are preparing or have already started downloading and installing the new cat.

If you've followed our guide for preparing your Mac for Lion, you're probably in good shape to proceed with an upgrade.

If, however, you long for the ability to do a clean install without having to first install Snow Leopard and THEN install Lion, Mashable has you covered. If you want to create a bootable USB stick or burn a DVD of OS X Lion, read along. After the image is burned to USB or DVD, restart your computer by holding down the option key. iBoot + MultiBeast: Install Mac OS X on any Intel-based PC.
