I received excellent service from the consultant, Ilhaam Lapperts, I dealt with. This person assisted me with all my queries in a professional and timeous manner. The delivery of the item was really quick and efficient. I will definitely buy from Kalahari.com again. Thank you!
Andre Spruit
Efficient and quick delivery from Kalahari. Get quotes for installation-chances are high it will be more than the decoder price, especially adding xtraview. Had to swop sim card for xtraview capable one-good service from Multichoice for this, though includes small fee. PVR and xtraview great for keeping household happy, though only available on premium subscription, which is getting quite expensive, but no real other alternatives in SA.
We love the PVR. Would have liked a larger storage disk.
The HD PVR is the best thing since TV was invented, with a built in hard drive, it is possible to record all the movies you want to watch. The PVR, although macnificent, can do better, if a dvd player wat installed in the PVR, dvd's can be watched in HD, and to top that, a blue ray HD dvd player, would make the PVR complete. I expect that it may be possible in future, and for now, the HD PVR is better than any standard tv.
Not the first product ive bought through kalahari.com and definitely not the last. Enjoying my PVR Functionality and impressed with the speedy service of Kalahari.com
It is perfect for my family as i enjoy a fast paced lifestyle and want to remain in the know, especially in the run-up to the festive season
Was delivered as promised
I gave it a 5 because I received the best service from all Parties namely Kalahari, DSTV and the installer.
Love the service kalahari has offered and loving my new purchase (PVR Deocder), now i can go make tea!
I am very happy with the decoder and would recomend it to any other customer
My parcel was delivered within 24hours as promised. Thank you
I am very happy with my purchase but I didn't know the installation fees would cost me more than purchasing the item. People out there first get installation fees before purchasing goods (not only PVR's). I can't wait to get it going but that would most probably be mid 2013!
Excellent service and product
Firstly I received the decoder less than ten hours after ordering it, which was fantastic! Secondly, I had the device up and running in minutes - the build quality of the device is great and the functionality even better, I have been purchasing on Kalahari since 2007 and have not been disappointed once - keep it up guys!
Swift service and quick delivery
My famly and i are very happy with the dstv pvr purchase.The recording as well as the clarity of the pics are excellent.
Die pvr decoder I bought from Kalahari.com is perfect, great working condition and very affordable. Also I got it in 2 days from the payment being made. Really fast service...and also the perfect christmas gift.
Great Product
What an excellent service! Even though I live in the middel of NO WHERE you guys delivered my pakage before 12h00 the next day. I am so impressed!!! Love Kalahari!!!! Great job you guys, can't wait for my next pakage!
Well it was my forst time purchasing through Kalahari.net and what a wonderful expereience. Not only is the purchasing process smooth and user friendly but is also very secure. Delivery was a bit sluggish due to the Satawu strike but it was finally delivered and IM happy Will definately be purchasing more products though kalahari.net

I've had the product for about 2 months now, its functioning OK so far but haven't really played around with other features it come with. My problem is about receiving HD channels, you must take the premium package +R65 to get that. Why not DSTV give its customers freedom of enjoying HD channels (+R65) with any available package DSTV have. There's complaints about the product already but its expensive to have it. I think its time now that this industry starts seeing more competitors so that customers do get a complete product thats with value for their hard worked money, not what DSTV is doing to its loyal customers. People pay for DSTV for the sake of having it but they don't really enjoy for what they pay for.
The PVR was great when it was new about 14 months ago.Despite having purchased two new remotes which I thought was the problem, the only operation that works smoothly is the recording of programmes.Changing from recorded channels to normal TV is not possible. Rewinding, stopping live TV and fast forwarding is an extremly frustrating process.DSTV need to get their act together.Does anyone at Kalahari pass the reviews on to DSTV for investigation?
I rate this decoder as very poor I have exchanged it in excess of seven times I do not watch HD Recordings that is my choice. I find the staff at Randburg branch friendly but not very poor on product functions On Sunday I went in to exchange my decoder it took me more than 2.5 hours they had to exchange the recon decoder as it was faulty They continue to claim there is no problems with the decoder
The hd pvr does have its flaws but i am enjoying mine they is a couple things that dstv could change for example that rewind/foward/pause button is a issue, but overall im more then happy with mine,CHANGED THE WAY I WATCH TV,just so convenient to record some thing when you dont have time to watch and the hd channels are awesome
We are currently residing in Botswana, from Canada. We purchased this product in Nov. 2011. It has NEVER worked properly. I must agree with the review from "Andre from LTT". The customer service is beyond bad. The phone reps we have dealt with ranged from rude to useless. We were advised to send it away for repair when it should have been replaced with a new one. Also, we were not given even a basic unit to use for the 3 weeks it was away;we had to buy one! It worked marginally for a week after it was "repaired" then the old problems started again with some new problems in addition. Again the the phone reps were useless. I would advise against buying this piece of junk until they get it right. Additionally, DSTV you should be ashamed by what you call customer service, and doubly ashamed taking peoples hard earned money for this rubbish.
The only good thing about the HD PVR is that it can deliver HD TV. Everything else about it is POOR and a DISSAPOINTMENT. It seems to "hang-up" very easily and you will become severely frustrated with it's stop, pause, rewind & fast-forward functions which does not function as smoothly as a STD PVR. Also the cache resets everytime you change channel so you cannot rewind 2 hours back if you changed the channels. I'm convinced the software on the HD PVR's is still at a development stage !! DSTV, you need to get this sorted out asap
i live in Angola if i buy this decoder can you ship to angola and could it work in Angola?
If you want to be disappointed then order that PVR. I placed an order and paid for mine on the 29th of last month only yo receive it yesterday. I stay in Midrand just outside Johannesburg! And when I called to complain about this delay I was told that the universal remote controller that I had ordered had not yet been received from the supplier. So I insisted on getting the decoder with it's standard remote controller and I was asked to pay an extra R35 towards shipment of the universal remote controller. I paid instantly and FNB sent them notification. A couple of days later nothing was delivered and the status on my order had not changed. I only got both the decoder and the universal remote controller yesterday. So guys if you want to get this with 24 hours go buy from a shop and carry it home and not have to wait forever! Very disappointing service, I don't see myself ever buying anything from Kalahari ever again!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd trust that if you were to buy this product you'd have done the required research beforehand - as with anything remotely technical. This is an excellent deal, qualifies for free shipping as well.
This product may be great, but nowhere is mentioned that you have to upgrade your dish installation to dual feed LNB, and that an additional monthly fee is due to DSTV. Get quotes and do your maths before thinking you're in for only the advertised price...
Now I can watch what I want to and my husband can watch his sport. No more arguments!
Kalahari.net is the cheapest everywhere, trust me I looked everywhere. The product is just as cool, HD rocks.
This is a brilliant product at a brilliant price. I have not seen this price at any store.
The HD PVR recorder is the way to go - never miss anything and this is the best price I have seen - anywhere!
Great Price!!
Well Priced! R1400.00 is a steal!

The weather channel had nothing to do with the r300 classic driver. It was reverse engineered by a team of 5-7 people over years. I dont think anyone was funded for it ever. The WC funded r100 and r200 drivers which were nothing like the r300.

During an eye exam, Snowboarder Ludovic Jaques discovered he had dangerously high eye pressure.
Abnormally high eye pressure can lead to permanent blindness if left untreated, and it usually has no symptoms, so an athlete doesn't know they are at risk. That is exactly what happed to Snowboarder Ludovic Jaques from Switzerland. Fate may have stepped in on Friday, however, at the World Winter Games when rain cancelled snow sports and allowed time for Ludovic's team to come to Healthy Athletes. Screeners in the Opening Eyes area discovered his dangerous high pressure (50 in both eyes; normal is 20). He was immediately sent to a local doctor and was able to get drops to help control his condition. But that isn't the only thing volunteers found in Opening Eyes. Unlike other athletes who leave Opening Eyes with new glasses to help their vision, Ludovic found out he may not need the glasses he currently owns. He wears glasses occasionally for reading, but his exam should no need for them. Most likely, the high pressure in his eyes was misinterpreted back home.

Looking for TVs?
Start shoppingVideo: LED and Fluorescent Backlighting in LCD TVs
Learn about the differences between fluorescent and LED backlighting in LCD TVs, including LED's improvements in color and black levels.
Steve: Hi. I'm Steve, and I'm here in the Crutchfield studio to talk about two different kinds of backlighting used in LCD HDTVs.
Most LCD TVs use fluorescent backlighting, and it's not the same kind of fluorescent lights you might find in an office or a department store. These bulbs are specially designed for TVs to display a bright, accurate picture.
Some higher end LCD TVs use LED backlighting. LEDs are even more energy efficient than fluorescent bulbs and they also have the ability to offer truer, more lifelike colors since they can produce pure white light. LED backlit TVs may be edge- lit — that means the LED lights are arranged around the screen's edge. And this makes it possible for these panels to be remarkably thin.
Other models place the LEDs in a grid right behind the screen, and many of these TVs offer a cool feature called local dimming. The TV can dim or even fully shut off clusters of LEDs in very dark areas of the screen, resulting in dramatically improved contrast and even more vivid colors. Local dimming is really effective, because it allows the TV to accurately display both bright whites and deep blacks at the same time. You can learn about other HDTV terms and technologies at crutchfield.com/chooseTV or you can always call one of our experts at 1-800-555-9408.

Lips have an extremely thin outer protective layer. As the body ages, the already thin layer becomes thinner. To compound the situation, lip skin does not have sweat or sebaceous glands. Without the usual protective layer of sweat and body oils, the lips dry out faster, become chapped more easily and can age faster than other areas of the skin. Satin Lips® Lip Mask effectively exfoliates dead surface skin cells that cause lips to appear dull and lifeless, preparing them for the best application of supermoisturizing Satin Lips® Lip Balm for soft, kissable lips.

Rafael's excellent September has yielded him a second accolade - United's Goal of the Month award, as voted for by ManUtd.com readers and MUTV viewers.
The young Brazilian's brilliant equaliser against Liverpool - a curling left-footed shot past Pepe Reina, following good link-up play with Antonio Valencia and Shinji Kagawa - topped our online poll with 61 per cent of the votes. Nearest challenger Alexander Büttner collected 15 per cent. Anderson's effort in the Capital One Cup win over Newcastle United came third with 9 per cent. Seven other goals, scored by players in United's first team, Under-21s and Under-18s, were nominated.
Speaking after the Liverpool match on MUTV, Rafael said of his goal: "It's definitely the best one I've scored for United. It was a good moment to get it because it was so quick after they scored. I was so pleased [to score] for the fans. They always give me such great support and I know this is an important game for them so I'm very happy."
Thanks to everyone who voted on our websites - one of the voters, selected at random, wins a United shirt signed by Rafael. Congratulations to Mohammad Khatami from Iran.

Out of force of habit I still turn on "news" shows from time to time. Most every time I do all I can think is WTF!, you are talking about nothing that is important at all now!
Where are the stories on the number of homeless children now being 1.6 MILLION, a 38% increase!?
Where are the stories about the fact that if all the unemployed they stopped counting since 2007 were still counted the unemployment rate would be 11% now!?
Where are all the stories on all those millions working "underemployed" now that don't even make enough to afford the basic necessities anymore!?
Where are all the stories on all of our new homeless, many who are veterans recently home from war!?
Where are all the stories on the military now being able to detain American citizens indefinitely with no due process!?
Where are the stories on government maybe soon being able to shut down any website if someone posts the wrong thing!?
They can try to brainwash people in the matrix of what the latest word every candidate said all day every day on our so called news but tens of millions have already awakened to the fact that it is all a big lie, and none of those two party candidates are going to do a damn thing help most Americans now besides tossing them a tiny band-aid for a gaping wound, as they try to make them shut up if they dare to complain about it, and more and more wake up to that fact every single day now!
You can flip a old, dirty, tarnished penny over and over all you want, and it is still not going to do a damn thing for you!
The war has begun. 99% of us have kept our side peaceful so far. We cant say the same for the other side. Just like all those other countries where the people have said enough is enough of the rich ruling us.

Is repeated posting of spam on a public political forum the best you have? Do you have a brain?
All you showed with that post is the sad condition too many Americans are in now.
If you try maybe you could actually state what you are thinking here…
Wrapping Up a Week Of Action Against SOPA
Yesterday and today, the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has hunkered down in the Capitol for markup sessions of SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. The basic facts looked bleak: this Internet blacklist bill is a disaster that stands at odds with the Constitution, but the deep pockets of its legacy media backers managed to make it enough friends in committee that its quick passage seemed possible. Judiciary Committee Chairman, author of the bill, and "Hollywood's Favorite Republican" Lamar Smith scheduled just a single hearing, stacked the deck in his bill's favor, and rushed it through to markup now, at the end of the legislative session.
But then a funny thing happened: the Internet fought back…
The "internet" (We The People) are fighting back on MANY fronts now!
This morning Bohner said the two months extension makes small business afraid to hire, won't know what's next. BALONEY. They'll hire part-time, temp for 2 months like all businesses have for a long time now. Good try Bohner, pretending to care about the little guy and his employee. Nobody hires perm. & full-time, extension or not, businesses can't afford to. Pipeline is only job package GOP offers & no guarantee US citizens get them. Infrastructure jobs WOULD go to US workers, are desperately needed, won't cause another BP type accident we can't afford to clean up if it happens. . . . . come on!!!! GOP can now change from elephanbt to mule so stubborn & dumb, or snake—such a cheat as Bohner is this morning AFTER the vote was done yesterday, and all heading out . . . . has to be a year (+pipeline +EXPENSIVE DRUG TESTING for Unemployment +1% not be tapped for one cent of tax). GOP by now whenter they "win" anything, even the presidency, they lose. Can't win, cheating = forfeit.
Gallup, which unlike the BLS, does not fudge, Birth/Die, or seasonally adjust its data, has just released its most recent u(n)employment data. And it's not pretty: for all those hoping that the Labor Participation Rate fudge that managed to stun the world a few weeks ago with a major drop in the November jobless rate, don't hold your breath. Gallup which constantly pools 30,000 people on a weekly basis, has found that for the past 4 weeks, both underemployment and unemployment have risen for 4 weeks in a row. And while the number of US workers "working part time and wanting full-time work" one of the traditional short cuts to boosting US jobs has risen to almost a 2 year high, it is the Job Creation Index in December which plunged in the last week, confirming that the Initial Claims data out of the BLS has been spurious and is likely to revert back over 400k on short notice.
I like Robert Reich. I have agreed with much he says for a long time:)
The First Amendment Upside Down. Why We Must Occupy Democracy
You've been seeing this across the country … Americans assaulted, clubbed, dragged, pepper-sprayed … Why? For exercising their right to free speech and assembly — protesting the increasing concentration of income, wealth, and political power at the top.
And what's Washington's response? Nothing…
As I read about the funding for heating assistance being cut 25% this year, along with the big increase in demand for it, I can only imagine the screams of outrage from those in Congress if they were forced to endure 25% lower temperatures at their lavish holiday celebrations.
And it is really sad that here in CT people are somewhat happy that it was only cut 25% and not the 50% Obama wanted.
So now CT has to try to cover a $505 million demand with only $97 million.
It would take the entire income from a minimum wage job just to pay for heat in many places now.
I wonder how many were just sentenced to a slow agonizing death of freezing right before Christmas…
From just one day in Buffalo NY,
Hundreds of people recently lined up outside the county's Social Service Department office looking for help with heating costs.
Nothing could better illustrate the desperation they feel than the fact that about 500 people were waiting for the office at Main and Mohawk streets to open, with the line snaking past the Hyatt Regency Buffalo. By the end of the day, county officials estimated that between 1,100 and 1,500 people had applied.http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-pag

Occupy Denver disrupts vigil to honor homeless who have died, refuse to allow mayor to speak
The night before, the Occupiers' tents, shanties and other possessions were removed from Civic Center park by police across the street from the vigil.
Hancock pleaded with them to show civility to the families and respect for the 136 men and women whose names would eventually be called.
Did you forget about this HANCOCK?!
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock today said he would support a new law to prohibit overnight camping in public places — aimed specifically at reducing the number of homeless people on the streets.
Newt Gingrich heckled by Occupy Des Moines protesters; newtgingrich.com apparently hacked
It got so heated that the ex-House Speaker was eventually chased down the stairwell of the state capitol and into his carhttp://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/newt-gingrich-heckled-occupy-des-moines-protesters-newtgingrich-apparently-hacked-article-1.994922?localLinksEnabled=false
Unemployment benefits are welfare, and "that is what we had welfare reform for"?
Run Newt (if you even can)! Occupy is coming for you!
As our government and MSM try to make us believe that whether people making $1000 per week get a extra $20 is the most important thing in America now I am thinking about all those that may freeze to death this winter because heating assistance was just cut 25% as demand skyrockets
I am thinking about the 38% increase in homeless children to 1.6 million now, along with all the other "new" homeless former middle class people.
I am thinking about all those unemployed that the BLS stopped counting since 2007, that would put our official unemployment rate at 11% now if they were not forgotten
I am thinking about all those underemployed now that work for peanuts and can't even afford the basic necessities anymore.
When I heard Obama talk about what $40 dollars means to many people, all I could think is if I was making $1000 a week again $40 every TWO WEEKS wouldn't mean a damn thing to me, and that more than half of America makes less than 50K so they will never see that $20!
I know all too well that millions of Americans are wondering how they will survive this winter, and that some will not, just like last winter when many died. They will never see that $20 per week tax cut, but many may freeze to death when their heating assistance ends in the middle of the winter, or they didn't even have a home anymore to get the assistance in the first place.
For any viewers here that may have to survive this winter with no home or no heat I recommend you watch the new video series from my friend Dave Canterbury of the Dual Survival show as he lives in a "yurt" in the cold . It literally could mean life or death for many.
60 More Days of the Same
What a Christmas eve this year
Already American citizens can be detained indefinitely by the military with no due process because of a new law. I know some try to say the clause that says it doesn't apply to American citizens makes that not true, but many legal minds have already stated that the part that says that clause does not apply to existing law, and the secret interpretation of the patriot act, makes it true
Now we are in a fight of our lives to stop a bill that allows the government to basically be able to shut down any site when they feel like it, and makes all privacy software illegal
Put that together with all the lies we see from the BLS, and DC now, and things look bad.
Notice how the unemployed disappeared from the media, and you rarely even hear about the fact that all tiers of unemployment extensions, that millions survive on now, were part of that two month tax cut deal?
They want to erase all the unemployed, along with Occupy, and anyone else who speaks out now
Merry Christmas!
This has been the worst year of my life, As I sit here alone I am grateful for what I have, So many are on the street and freezing, I am not a "live on the street" kinda guy, I wouldn't even know where to "go", when I had to "go".
So do you just wear the same clothes all the time? Strange that you dont hear of "homeless" people just dying out on the streets, That what I would do Im sure, Because I just couldn't cope with it.
I like the Denver mayors solution, Just make Homelessness Illegal! Shit ya them criminals can get a job or goto jail! That will fix it!
Works for me, Three hots and a cot is better than nothing and no place.Well I have a place for now and Im warming up some ramen noodles for my Christmas breakfast, And dreaming of sausage and eggs with homefries.
Merry Christmas!
You're not alone where, you got me :)
Jail? You ever been there? Still living in that old RV in the dessert with 20 mile wifi?
Merry Christmas
As I read what many have to say online this Christmas I'm not surprised by how many heartbreaking stories there are out there this year. I'm reading stories from families living in flea bag motels, homeless shelters, and on the street. I ran across many posts from people online at libraries that said they would not be able to check in for Christmas.
I also read about some of those that couldn't find the strength to get through this Christmas and decided to leave this life…
These are people that used to have jobs, real homes, and real Christmas's. Not people that "need to take a bath and get a job" like some idiots try to say.
31,800 "homeless" stories just in the past 24 hrs on Google news…
Here is probably the only obituary one in CT will ever get, along with pictures of his last home.
Then I read the crap from all those complaining about "welfare" that have no clue what they are talking about. Here is a story about what welfare is REALLY available for this family.
11Alive viewers help homeless mom and three kids
A state worker tipped off 11Alive News, saying he was trying to help the Tchouaffe family get back on its feet, but couldn't find any government agency or private charity that could help them.
When we first talked with the family, all four were incredibly, somehow, full of hope, and calm in the face of catastrophe, and trying to suppress fear.
"I've been very strong this year," mom, Anne Marie Tchouaffe, said with a sigh. "But facing this situation is so, so new and so scary for me."
Anne Marie has two teenage daughters and a son, Jean Baptiste, who has cerebral palsy.
She said shelters will not accept him because of his special needs.
That last story shows the real meaning of Christmas. All the good people out there that step up to help those in need.
As all our elected representatives enjoy their champagne and caviar and forget them.
This part says it all
While Tchouaffe looks for work, she doesn't understand why the only time she's ever asked government agencies for help, the only help they've offered is to tell her they will split up her family, and send her son to DFCS.
"'And you sleep in the car,'" she said they told her. "And I say, 'No, it cannot work that way. I've been a very good mother to this boy and to the girls. I don't want my children to be taken away from me.'"
Thanks to the generosity of 11Alive viewers there is hope. They have food, shelter for the coming month and some money to tide them over until Anna Marie finds a job and can start looking for a home in the Alpharetta area that has handicap accessibility.
And another story on the true meaning of Christmas, and the reality so many live in now.
Readers' generosity lifts homeless families
Donna Grant sat on the floor on a pile of blankets that her 12-year-old daughter Amber Phillips uses for a bed. A new purple mountain bike leaned against the wall — a gift to Amber from a Free Press reader — and Grant wiped tears from her eyes.
Amber lost her old bike when Grant had to leave it with a motel owner to settle a $120 bill. "Amber was hurt; she was crying," said Grant, who was profiled in last week's Free Press series about a spike in student homelessness across Michigan.
More than 15 readers offered to buy Amber a bike.
We handed a stack of Christmas cards to Grant and she sat on the floor opening them, as checks and gift cards tumbled out. Many of the letters were anonymous.
Grant grabbed her chest. "It's a miracle," she said, overcome. "I'm very grateful. I've never been in this situation where I needed help. I didn't know there are people who care."
Total unselfishnessThere is one e-mail that sticks in my head. It came from someone who calls himself Rob D. "We don't have much, but my family and friends want to help buy Amber a Christmas gift," he wrote. "Could u please tell us how? We're broke, but we can do something."
We're broke, but we can do something.
That might be the greatest statement ever. On this day. At this time of year. It is an act of total unselfishness. Trying to lift up a stranger.
Soldier Pawns Purple Heart; Triggers Outpouring Of Support
HOLLAND, Michigan
Phone calls from across the country are coming in to the A-Z Outlet pawn shop in Holland on a seemingly continuous basis after word spread of a soldier pawning a Purple Heart medal to help pay for Christmas.
"We took the phone off the hook the first day because we couldn't keep control of it," says Bryan Vandenbosch, the owner of the pawn shop.
…The medal is awarded to U.S. soldiers wounded in battle. This one, according to Vandenbosch, was earned in Afghanistan in May 2010.Vandenbosch says the active duty solider, on leave from Afghanistan, was reluctant to sell the medal at first, but like a lot of people, he needed a little extra cash for the holiday season. So, the soldier gave up one of his two Purple Hearts — something he almost gave his life to get.
Christmas, the calm before the storm…
Don't start where…the Peoples cyber army is on the hunt tonight…

Why there is no OpenGL intensive applications on this phoronix test?
Phoronix: ASRock H61M/U3S3
At Phoronix we have reviewed several different motherboards under Linux since the Sandy Bridge launch with either the P67 or H67 chipsets, but in this review we are looking at one that uses the Intel H61 chipset. The particular motherboard under test is the ASRock H61M/U3S3, which was launched a few months back, but we've been waiting for the Intel Sandy Bridge open-source support under Linux to mature a bit more.
Why there is no OpenGL intensive applications on this phoronix test?
Looks a great motherboard. Just what ASRock has been for years, with a good price.
I have seen on the screenshots that you can set only 2 drives in the boot sequence. My ASRock K7S41GX from 2005 could put all available drives in the sequence, with its old AMI BIOS.
But anyway, the BIOS is that easy to set-up today that you can just put another drive into the boot sequence if necessary. The ASRock BIOS has improved very much, except for the limited boot sequence.

Just wondering why new motherboards still include the old PS/2 and VGA ports. I can understand the rationale of including VGA since screens still ship with it (they shouldn't) but what about PS/2? That port should have already died.
You can't enter your serial key on registering windows xp with usb keyboard. I have no idea if 7ista solved it, but looks like all pathetic world is waiting for pathetic windows and its bugs.
Abit, now defunct company thanks to its crappy managers, were the first ones to make a board with usb and firewire only, dumping ps2, com and lpt altogether. That was in era of Socket A.
Nice review btw. Having 4 memory ports of course would be better. Still, SATA are well arranged for high-end gfx cards.

VGA is outdated but still used often - many cheaper flatscreen monitors of the 21st century are still VGA-only. There is no reason why people shouldn't be able to keep using the same monitor when replacing their computer. I am still using the CRT monitor of my first computer from 1996.
I agree that there has to be a DVI port too.

Looks like D-Sub gets the highest resolution and refresh rate, despite being Dead....Originally Posted by specs in the article
Myself, I'm just hoping everyone hurries up and switches to DisplayPort. (As I use DVI to a cheap LCD, the DP port fills up with dust....)
Does anyone know if the SATA chipset on this motherboard supports FIS-based port multiplier for eSATA? I have an external HDD enclosure with space for five HDDs, but it only has one eSATA connector to the motherboard. It's designed to work in the same way as a USB hub, with all the drives simultaneously sharing the eSATA controller.
Problem is, they don't. My motherboard's eSATA controller (some Marvell crap) only supports command-based switching. So you can only use one drive at a time in the enclosure. Really inconvenient. I also can't seem to boot from the drives, regardless of how many I have installed.
I think the enclosure itself has fine hardware, and I paid top dollar for it, I just think that I need to upgrade my mobo to one with FIS-based port multiplier. But I can't find this spec mentioned anywhere on any mobo
Here is a (probably somewhat outdated) list of SATA controllers:
In the PNP SM column, you can see the way it switches: CBS or FBS.
Marvell is not crap - they're also having FBS chips according to that list.
While outdated, that list is pretty useful. Thanks.
I laughed at the Marvell 88SE6121 -- it supports no features whatsoever And of course that's the SATA controller on my motherboard.
Really thinking now that it might be time to get a new mobo and double my RAM while I'm at it; my GPU, disks and CPU are fine, but this mobo's killing me. Other problem I have with this mobo is that the IOMMU is broken, so I can't enable VT-d or I get random kernel lockups inside DRM (complicated to explain, but basically a chip on the mobo is fatally flawed so that it can't be used, and Intel VT-d requires it.)

So what exactly constitutes a bust? Well, just like in reality, a bust is a player who is drafted relatively high, but never produces at the level he should.You've probably already got a few players in your head, and chances are they made the list. To make this shameful list, it doesn't take much. Whether they've fallen behind in the depth chart, or suffered an injury, these guys haven't lived up to their expectations. Here it is, the top 10 busts of 2013.

Active Share and Mutual Fund PerformanceAntti PetajistoNew York University (NYU) - Department of Finance; Yale School of Management; BlackRock, Inc January 15, 2013 Abstract: I sort domestic all-equity mutual funds into different categories of active management using Active Share and tracking error. I find that over my sample period until the end of 2009, the most active stock pickers have outperformed their benchmark indices even after fees and transaction costs. In contrast, closet indexers or funds focusing on factor bets have lost to their benchmarks after fees. The same long-term performance patterns held up over the 2008-2009 financial crisis, and they also hold within market cap styles. Closet indexing increases in volatile and bear markets and has become more popular after 2007. Cross-sectional dispersion in stock returns positively predicts average benchmark-adjusted performance by stock pickers.

Laptops Buying Guide
Computers have revolutionized the way we do things, for the most part they've made our lives easier, and then again they've allowed us to become dependent on them for our daily lives and work as well. Desktops are great, they're powerful and they allow us to get a lot of things done, but as their name suggests they are made to be on a desk top and therefore not very portable.
Laptops came along to fill a niche where people needed portable computers, at first they were primarily for businesses, but as they've become cheaper it seems that most people that work with a desktop computer have got a laptop as well. In the beginning laptops were big and bulky, and not really as powerful as a desktop, though as technology advanced they became just as powerful as their desktop counterparts, and in some instances actually replacing the desktop entirely.
When you decide to buy a laptop you're going to find that you've got numerous choices, and purchasing a laptop usually isn't a small investment, they can cost several thousand dollars easily, so it's not something that you want to jump into blindly and just make an impulse buy.
You can find laptops varying in sizes, and specialties from business oriented, multi-media centric to gamer oriented, and everything else in between. Which one you'll want will entirely depend on your specific needs and uses for you computer.
There was a point where a laptop was a laptop and that was about it, but now they come in all different 'flavors', and more recently the 'netbook' has come into play as well.
The main draw for a laptop is their portability obviously, and people are actually replacing their desktops altogether with laptops for this main reason. We like freedom, and wireless internet allows us that freedom, yes a desktop can be wirelessly connected but again it's not very portable. People who are replacing desktops in their homes with laptops like the ability to be able to move from room to room and still be connected, those of us that work from home love the ability to basically work from anywhere there is an internet connection. We can change our scenery at will by just moving to another room, or even going outside, or maybe even going to the local coffee shop to grab a coffee, socialize and get some work done. The portability gives us freedom, and this is something we all crave, the freedom to go where we want, when we want and still be connected.
Laptops or Notebooks can be broken down into a few basic categories, of course usually when ordering a laptop you can build it to your own specifications so it can be really whatever you want or need it to be in the end. You'll usually find laptops categorized by their weight, and normally that works, but as with anything there are exceptions to the rule of course.
The 'netbook' or 'subnotebook' is normally a smaller laptop, that is built to be lightweight, and very portable, they usually aren't very powerful, but get the basic jobs done, like email and internet and few other odd and ends. The name 'netbook' of course came from the fact that they're primarily for accessing the internet, browsing websites and checking email. These usually have smaller storage space compared to their laptop counterparts, and many will have some variation of a Linux operating system installed. These have become very popular for their portability, ease of use and very low cost. These have actually been around since about 1999, but they haven't really taken off in popularity until late 2007 with the introduction of several models from various manufacturers. Specifically the introduction of ASUS EEE PC was really when this type of laptop started to gain momentum in the marketplace, many other companies soon followed with their own variations. Netbooks usually weigh in at around 1.5 to 3 pounds in weight, making them very portable and easily traveled with.
The Ultralight notebook is sort of similar to the netbook but usually more feature rich in that they will come with more powerful processors, better graphics and more storage space, these usually can be used for work as well, and these are great types for people who travel frequently. They usually weigh under five pounds, and are small and thin. People sometimes confuse the Ultralight with the Netbook, and really the line is blurring a bit at this point as Netbooks become more and more powerful and feature packed.
This type is a very general type of laptop, these can range from being used for business, home uses, light game playing and just an all around basic functioning computer. These usually weigh between 5 and 7 pounds, depending on what's inside, battery life, size of screen etc. These are great all purpose laptops that allow people to take their work with them and have the ability to do many things. These types come in many shapes and sizes, with varying screen sizes, battery capacities and storage capacities, if you're looking for a general all-purpose laptop then this is the type you most likely want to look at.
Desktop Replacement:
As the name suggests these are meant to replace the desktop computer, but they really can't honestly. These types of laptops are meant to do everything a desktop computer can allowing a person to own just this type of laptop, but really no laptop can truly replace a desktop, though they can make an excellent substitute for those that need the power of a desktop on the go. These types of laptops are usually heavy, and really not all that portable unless you consider greater than seven pounds of weight portable. Desktop replacements normally have large screens, powerful processors and all the bells and whistles of a desktop, they are meant for a person to be able to do everything on it that you can do with your desktop. Of course though it is still a laptop and can never truly replace the desktop with it's functionality and power, and of course the ability to upgrade and easily swap out broken parts as need be.
-Gaming Laptops
These usually fall under the category of desktop replacements as they normally include powerful processors, and high end video cards they can also include dual video cards or SLI configuration. Many of the gaming laptops also come customized with graphics or themed to a certain popular game of the time.
Apple Products
These laptops can fall under a category of their own really, Apple makes a few different laptops that do not conform to the common standards of other laptops. With Apple products you now have the ability to run Windows on them since they've switched over to an Intel based hardware system, this is great for people who might want an Apple product but are not accustomed to their operating system. The one interesting thing you'll find about Apple laptops is the price, they are more expensive than equally equipped PC based laptops, there's also an argument about the reason why, but it's not something to go into here. Basically, before Apple made the switch to Intel processors, most people were relegated to the world of Windows based laptops. Switching to Apple, meant moving to a PowerPC architecture that was not compatible with the x86 architecture lifestyle. However, now with the use of Intel Core 2 Duo chips within MacBook, even the staunchest PC evangelist can get an Apple laptop and delve into the Windows world for comfort if needed. There are programs like Boot Camp that allow dual booting of both operating systems so one can switch back and forth between the OS's, on the inverse side of course you can now install the OSX operating system on a PC. (There is of course the ongoing battle between the Apple and PC camps as to who or which is better, personally I feel that as long as it gets the job done then so be it...)
Apple brand notebooks have become much more popular for their versatility, and usefulness especially among the artistic crowd, they are popularly known to be used for video and graphics editing and creation. They've also become much more popular since Apple decided to convert over to Intel processors, this change in hardware allowed them to gain a large market share and move from niche computer to more of mainstream acceptance.
Tablet style laptops fall into a category of their own as well, these are technically a laptop while looking really nothing like one. A tablet style notebook resembles a writing tablet and normally does not come with a hardware keyboard, the screen of the tablet is touch screen based and the keyboard is displayed on screen for users to type with. You'll find these normally in business or medical related settings where speed, portability and ease of access is most required. For the most part though tablets can be as powerful as a standard laptop and come with the same feature set as well, just the lack of the keyboard makes then not really suitable for everyday usage where a hardwares keyboard is needed for input.
Things to take into consideration when purchasing any laptop:
Weight and Size
These both go hand in hand, weight is proportional the size usually. If you need a laptop that will be a desktop replacement and not moved around much then the weight and size of it won't effect you too much. A large laptop is nice to have as it offers more power to do what you need to do, along with the ability to be portable if need be. Desktop replacement laptops are nice, but not something you'll want to lug back and forth everyday to work and back.
Battery Life
Battery life is a very important issues concerning laptops, after all their primary function is to be portable, thus using a battery to make them so. Some laptops have the ability to use extended batteries and some even allow one of the bays to be swapped out to allow for two batteries to be used to further extend the life of the power available. If you intend on using your laptop as a portable computer where it will always be on the go with you then make sure you check the estimated battery life, then check with independent sources to verify that the laptop actually gets that kind of mileage from the battery. Something I personally might take into consideration as well is the cost of buying a secondary battery, some laptop batteries can be very expensive while others not so much.
Screen Size
This might go with the size of that laptop, or at least it's somewhat related but really depending on what your needs are you might need need a huge 17" screen laptop, yes a large screen is nice, but if a 14" screen will work for your needs then why get the larger one and not only add weight but size as well.
Storage Space
This might seem obvious but not really, the amount of things you can store on your hard drive is something you need to consider. The size of the hard drive can vary greatly between machines and prices of them, you can get a laptop with a small hard drive or some that even have two hard drives in them, but of course your cost is going to rise exponentially with the more storage you get. Now you might say if you run out of space you can store it elsewhere, or just swap out for another hard drive, yes both are feasible options, where the second not so much, swapping out the hard drive requires you to also re-install the operating system as well which requires more work on your part. Try and figure out the size you'll need based on your common usage of things, what programs you need to have installed, maybe take movies and music with you as well, movies will come and go but your music collection will likely stay there and grow taking up more space.
Usage now and in the future
This is a major factor when looking to purchase a laptop of any kind, what will you be using it for, and what might you be using it for later in the future. If all you need is a laptop to check email, browse the internet and maybe listen to music then your choice is clear, but if you want to be able to play games, watch movies and do everything you do on your desktop then you're going to have some decisions to make when it comes to configuring your laptop. Don't just think of the now when purchasing a laptop, think towards the future and what you might want to be able do with it, you don't want to buy a laptop and only to find in a few months that it can't run a program you need it to.
Depending on the type of laptop you purchase it can be a big big investment, and something that is quite likely going to be with you for a very long time. I myself have had my laptop for about five years, that's old when it comes to computers, but it still works and it does what I need it to do still to this day. At the time I purchased it, it was a top of the line business class laptop, I don't regret at all paying a premium for it as it has more than lasted me doing what I need it to do. Yes it's getting a bit antiquated right now but it works and does what I need it to and that's what matters to me.
When purchasing a laptop think of the future, don't just think of the here and now, this applies to the regular average person as much as it applies to a businessman or a college student. If you're a student buying a laptop for school, remember you're going to be using this laptop all through school and probably beyond, if you're specializing in something like multimedia get a laptop that is made for that as it's what you'll use and need the most.
I've said it before and I'll says it again and again, research, research and more research is a key to buying any type of product. Though with laptops it's especially a concern, laptops have a tendency to be fragile and have problems due to their compact size, some are better than others as with anything. Once you decide on a specific laptop model you're interested in check around to see what types of problems others may have encountered with them, check to see if the battery life is really what the company claims it to be. A laptop can be an investment in money and the future, you don't want to rush into it blindly, you wan tot be well knowledgeable with what your needs are.
Of course check around for reviews as well of laptops, many websites have roundups of the popular laptops, listing their pros and cons so you can get a quick and easy look at the strengths and weaknesses of several styles of laptops at a glance.
And of course you'll also want to look for hands on reviews of laptops, here' you'll get to see close up pictures of the laptops, and you'll learn quite a bit more than any manufacturer will tell you.
Reviews are nice, but the best source of knowledge is someone like you that already owns a laptop, they'll be honest with you in telling you the problems if any they're had with their laptop, from them you'll learn what works and doesn't with a certain laptop. Look around for forums or message boards that specialize in laptops, join and don't be afraid to ask questions about any one particular model you might be interested in, the members are just like you, everyday average people just trying to help one another out if they can. Sites like these can be an invaluable source of information to a prospective buyer, there you'll learn specifically the ins and outs, pros and cons of any product.
