How would one find out the performance and quality of the northbridge? At the moment I can only really judge them by compatibility and price. I just want to make sage purchases in the future.
They're going to announce that Half Life 2 Episode 3 is taking them too long, so to shorten development time they're splitting it into 3 episodes which they can release yearly due to the shorter development time involved in episodic content.kieranb2000
Don't forget that there was nearly thirteen months between episodes one and two. And they've been pretty open about the fact that episode three is going to be the final episodic update.
If they're going to announce HL3, it'll be after we get a date for ep. 3.

Hopefully it's being worked on simultaneously; I realise the space between episode one and two was 13 months but we haven't even been given a date yet and it's approaching two years.
Valve haven't been very open about the subject of Episode 3 and its incredible delay. I've always hoped that Half-life 3 would be announced and that would be the project being worked on currently; I refuse to accept all this time has been spent on a single episode. Does anyone else believe Valve could pull a surprise here?
What separates a regular motherboard from a high-end? How do I know which mine is; I've been asked for a distinction when calculating recommended power supply wattage?

what seperates a regular motherboard from a high end motherboard is the performance of the northbridge chipset. recommended power supply wattage will depend more on what CPU and video card you are using in your system. what components are you trying to calculate wattage for?
I was just doing it for the sake of it really but I don't understand why most calculators ask you for this distinction; as you've said this factor doesn't relate to PSU wattage at all.
