Have to agree with not using beta drivers too. I used to use them a lot until I get stung with a non recoverable problem. I had a resolution mismatch when I upgraded the monitor, moving the mouse around at 1920x1200 was fine, but as soon as i got to drag a window around, it would snap to the...

Being that Minecraft has been purchased nearly 2,000,000 times since its initial release over two years ago, and also the fact that the game enjoys very regular updates, many fans would consider the game to be in a "complete" state right now. But as stable as the game has been, it still carries...

When AMD released its HD 6000 series of graphics cards this past fall, the rumor-mill went wild and led everyone to believe that thanks to the good IGP solutions from Intel, and AMD's upcoming Llano APUs, we wouldn't see another entry-level GPU from either AMD or NVIDIA. But, it looks like we...

Is a piece of DLC that contains a mere four multi-player maps and an additional mode worth $15? This is a topic that we've debated quite a bit here at Techgage, and while I personally hated DLC at the get-go, I am not totally opposed to it today. It depends on a major factor, though. Is the DLC...

Own a GIGABYTE P67 motherboard and take overclocking seriously? Enjoy the thrill of competition? If so, then GIGABYTE has a contest you'll want to enter, being run with the help of OC competition site HWBOT.org. The contest is split into six different categories, and points are awarded to the...

In 1988, the Nintendo Entertainment System saw the release of a sequel that most people who owned the console were anticipating: Super Mario Bros. 2. After the major success of the original, how could the sequel do anything but thrill us all? Over 20 years later, this game is still debated as to...

When Canonical announced last fall that Ubuntu 11.04 would be released with a home-brewed desktop environment called "Unity", I found myself almost immediately excited. As Ubuntu came equipped with GNOME as its primary desktop environment since the distro's inception, the idea that Canonical...

And it looks like it takes up 3 slots too....

I posted a look at Intel's DX58SO2 motherboard yesterday in another instalment of 'In the TG Lab', and today, I continue with a look at another X58-based offering: GIGABYTE's G1.Sniper. Unlike Intel's board, which looks to deliver a good balance between stability and features, GIGABYTE's...

In our 'In the TG Lab' look at Intel's DX58SO2 motherboard, I mentioned that while the company has been producing enthusiast-class motherboards for quite some time, enthusiasts haven't exactly noticed - or at least there has been a reason why they haven't been adopting them. The latter is a...

Without swapping out at least one component, it's hard to say. If a GPU has failed, it is possible for it to prevent a PC from booting properly. Remove the GPU, let it try and post and it should do the usual BIOS beep error, but the rest of the hardware should behave normally. If the PC still...

+ monster truck... oh wait, all of that is in motorstorm... yay! I'll skip the Social and money grinding thanks...

I dare say, this doesn't prove much and in fact makes me ask more questions. Flash was not included in the tests (as stated later in the comments), but was it disabled in Chrome due to having it built in? What about the complexity of WebApps that are AJAX, Ruby, JS heavy... Flash is the real...

Power consumption is a topic that we spend a fair bit of time talking about through a lot of our content, especially with regards to graphics cards and processors. But, I can honestly admit that one piece of technology where power consumption has never come to mind is... with a Web browser...

Where computer processors are concerned, Intel is a name that comes to mind immediately for many people. But aside from being responsible for creating some of the fastest processors on the planet, Intel has a slew of other product lines as well, such as chipsets, NICs, solid-state drives, and of...

Yes, it's true. Mozilla may have just launched Firefox 4, but while everyone was downloading it to their heart's content, Firefox 5 development had already gotten underway. While it may seem a bit silly to be talking about the next version now, the final version is expected to ship during the...

Ahead of both Google and Apple, Amazon has launched a couple of Web-based services that allow users to both store their music (and other data) in the cloud, and listen to it, either on the go or while at home. The first component is called "Cloud Drive", and is just as it sounds... a service for...

Since the fall of 2008, NVIDIA has been holding an annual conference called NVISION where developers and others can hook up and delve into the latest technologies that the company offers, while also receiving important tech-bits to help them go back to their office with a fresh outlook on things...

During a recent briefing, NVIDIA went into detail about what its upcoming GeForce 270 graphics driver would be bringing to the table. In addition to general performance boosts in a multitude of games, an automatic updater is introduced, as are major improvements to certain 3D Vision features and...

They can still throttle based on packet header - encrypted or not (the torrent encryption is simple and public, so it's easy to decrypt on-the-fly), rather than use a straight out port throttle, since that's easy to circumvent. They didn't invest in all that DPI equipment for nothing...
