    OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid PCIe Hybrid SSD Review

    The issue is most people I've talked with or heard about, 64GB is not enough for Windows 7 + all their programs and games. In many cases it's not even enough for just their games! Even without factoring in my Steam library, just my OS and programs alone exceed the capacity of a 64GB drive. Add...

    Microsoft to Kill "Windows Live" and "Zune" Branding with Windows 8

    I completely agree. If a game uses GFWL I will not buy it, plain and simple. I don't care even if it's a blockbuster title, it's not worth putting up with the headaches and hoop jumping GFWL repeatedly requires.

    VLC 2.0 Released - Features Improved Codec, Mac & Anime Support

    Rob, that may be due to the default output renderer. VLC will by default use OpenGL as it's output engine, but if I changed it to Direct3D (or DirectX, I am not sure which option it was) I would see correct blacks / brightness. I remember OpenGL used to have lower quality image output due to...

    VLC 2.0 Released - Features Improved Codec, Mac & Anime Support

    About time they add blu-ray support! Will have to give this new version a try and see what they fixed... hopefully it will at least be able to remember the zoom, volume, and aspect ratio config presets... :rolleyes:

    CM Storm QuickFire Rapid Gaming Keyboard Review

    Yeah, I also heard about the Cherry MX Brown they announced... now if only I could find a store that stocked at least 2-3 of these Cherry MX keyboard types! I've had it with my current keyboard and plan to get something better...

    Father shoots daughter's laptop

    Could very well happen. And, how so?

    Father shoots daughter's laptop

    Okay, firstly if he wants to shoot a laptop he bought her (and then spent several hundred dollars upgrading and working on in the process of finding this letter), he has the right. I agree with Rob though, it would've been better off if he just donated it to another kid that works hard and...

    Apple Announces Mac OS X 10.8 'Mountain Lion'

    So it looks like Apple is adopting a minor/major/minor annual release cycle here. Leopard to Snow Leopard, now Lion to Mountain lion. All I can say is, it's great to have two different versions of OS X named after me. :p Only because by that time Longhorn had already missed all it's...

    Like Minecraft? Like Lego? You're in luck

    Haha, what a perfect match. Speaking of which, I'm gonna assume there's a lego mod for Minecraft available that I missed... time to go hunting. :)

    So I made the jump to an SSD..

    Oh, it will be a very nice upgrade! I used to have a Q6600 and honestly I loved that chip. But I gotta admit, it will get trounced if you compare it to any i7 these days. I assume you mean throw an H80 on the i7-3770 right? :D THe Q6600 won't go above 4.2Ghz unless you're using subzero...

    Meet Intel's Cherryville: 520 Series 240GB SSD Review

    I'll let you guys in on a secret I didn't explicitly mention in the review... Intel mentioned during their conference call (while discussing NAND grading) that they save the highest grade NAND flash for their own products. So there very likely is better quality 25nm IMFT compute NAND in the...

    So I made the jump to an SSD..

    Welcome to the forums Corey! Thanks for posting your experiences with your first SSD. :) The 520 is definitely an awesome drive, if it wasn't for the price premium it'd be unbeatable really. Even so it's the best drive to have right now, in my opinion. The 120GB has good performance, it's the...

    Apple's iPad 3 Rumored to Launch in March

    No bigotry here. But not really interested either... I have a Kindle Touch, and am addicted to the thing now. Can genuinely state I'm not even slightly interested in an iPad, or dirt cheap imitation. Even if I had been, hearing about iPad 3 rumors 1-2x a month for the past 3-4 months running...

    Random Craigslist Finds

    GeForce® 7100 IGP and SIS 760 gaming IGP and ATI Radeon HD 2400XT, with all these graphics cores no wonder this is a good gaming PC!

    Water Cooling Guides

    Yes it can, but so can a high quality air cooler. The NH-D14 won't be heard as the fan speed is capped fairly low to begin with. I'd strongly suggest ya try to determine what the high pitched whine is... ya could unplug the CPU fan for a few moments while encoding to verify it is the CPU...

    Water Cooling Guides

    I am all with Greg's advice on this. You can likely achieve the results you want with a 2x120mm all-in-one water cooler rather than a full-out watercooling setup. I'd venture to say even a top quality air cooler such as the Noctua NH-D14 is better given just how darn quiet the thing runs, yet...

    Meet Intel's Cherryville: 520 Series 240GB SSD Review

    If there's one thing you can count on, it's that an SSD user is going to have 1 or likely multiple SATA drives in their system. I don't think it's unreasonable to include the connector just in case if someone is adding an SSD to give new life to older system that has 3-4 drives already in it...

    Micron's CEO, Steve Appleton, Dies in Small Plane Crash

    Terrible news :( At least he went out doing something he loved. The guy apparently enjoyed hobby flying, was flying his own Laincair kit aircraft when something went wrong with it and he wasn't able to make it back to the airport. Appleton was a skydiving triathlete and even had a history of...
