Why Can’t Sickness Be Undervolted?

Alright… I’m taking a big chance by posting another rant in our news section, because I believe I might be jinxing myself. Let’s recap the past few months. At the beginning of September, I whined about benchmarking gone wrong, which erased four days from my life. Not fun. A month later, the main OS hard drive in my PC crashed. Also not fun. Then last week, I mentioned that the secondary hard drive in our server’s RAID 1 array died. That admittedly isn’t such a big issue, but still not fun.

With all that had gone wrong over the course of the past few months, was I free and clear for a while? I’m not too sure, as I woke up last Wednesday feeling like, to keep this a technical post, like an overclocked processor on LN2. Yes, I felt like I was both hot and cold, on top of a sore throat, headache, nose problems and more. Whew. It’s not so much the cold that bothers me, but that it came in right when I was getting underway on some fun content… content that should have been posted last week.

I’m not quite 100% at the moment, but I’m feeling far, far better than I was last week and part of the weekend. So, this week will be great for content as I’ll be getting our “backlog” (content I planned to get posted) taken care of. Because one article in particular requires more than a day’s worth of time to prepare, I don’t expect to get content posted until mid-week, but it’s somewhat time-sensitive, so it’s a priority.

After that article is posted, we’ll soon follow-up with our review of AMD’s latest Athlon II dual-core and triple-core processors. AMD, in case you haven’t noticed, has been releasing new CPU models like there’s no tomorrow, so stay tuned to see if these new budget processors deliver the bang for the buck we’re all looking for.

You might have also noticed that we’re behind on our HD 5870, HD 5850 and HD 5750 reviews, but don’t worry, all are on their way. The HD 5870 is off a little ways, but you can expect the latter two to be posted within the next two weeks, with the first being the HD 5750. There’s more content than just this en route of course, so keep checking back as we’ll be getting some good stuff posted!
