    (Contest!) Rinse and Repeat

    I about fell over when I saw the Steam player info for Skrim... Yesterday, there were over 200,000 people playing it at its peak. In the late evening, there were still >100,000 users playing Skyrim keeping it in 1st place.... That player count actually equaled the top 19 following games...

    HP Announces the 'Folio' Business Ultrabook

    Although the Folio looks to be the most promising ultrabook for me to date, I'm beginning to have my doubts regarding the display on it... HP is purposely being edgy about giving out the display specs, which never means anything good...

    Intel Releases Sandy Bridge-E Processors & X79 Express Chipset

    I don't see why? Naw, I'd disagree and say the 3930K is the only interesting chip. The 3960X costs twice as much and offers extra 3MB of cache to show for it. Since the $555 3930K is also unlocked just like the 3960X, it can be clocked (and overclocked) the same, but it still has six of the...

    ASUS talks X79 RAM disk, SSD caching and auto-overclocking

    As much as I love what ASUS is doing, the SSD caching needs a great big asterisk on it. Tech Report was the first to test the Marvell controller ports, and the performance is just as bad as it was on X58 and Z68. You would see faster performance for cached data, but you'd also see write...

    Corsair & Kingston Announce Quad-Channel Memory Kits

    I can't wait to see what prices on Quad channel RAM looks like in six months... a year from now 64GB might actually be around the same prices, if we're lucky? :D

    ASUS' X79 launch motherboards

    Crimson, yes. It'll have two extra fan headers to power those fans. They do come in the box, too. What I'd love to know, is where on earth is that dual-socket beauty ASUS was showing off during the event! Can't find a peep about it anywhere...

    Won Another Motherboard!

    Can already grab a 980X for about the same price as the $500 part, only going to go down from there...

    Overkill for a GTX560Ti !!?

    The point is to see how much weight the PCIe slot can hold before it just snaps clean off the board. Those PCIe 3.0 slots are much stronger ya know...

    Steam Databases Compromised; Password Changes Recommended

    Hah, well I guess there's a silver lining for you then! But most CC's just don't change unless it was stolen and replaced already. Which means I'm probably jinxing myself by saying I've had the same CC numbers for more than just a few years now.... I'm not that stupid! Well, usually. ;)...

    Plenty of dual SBE boards coming out in a week... :D

    Steam Databases Compromised; Password Changes Recommended

    The database was encrypted... but as I've told a few people that pointed it out, how often does your credit card number change? A year or two from now most people will still have the same CC information, so any brute force attack on the database is still a strong concern. Some people have...

    EVGA Packs Dual GTX 560 Ti's in its '2Win' Graphics Card

    I'm sure they knew it wasn't SLI capable... it's nothing new. For the past several years it's been standard practice for boutique GPU combo cards to ship with connectors on it that weren't functional. Hope they make sure to update that info page quickly before someone finds out the hard way they...

    Thieves Make Off with 6,000 Copies of CoD: MW3 After Armed Robbery

    I'll give them one thing... smarter than robbing a bank. Not only did they get more money out of this, they might've not even been caught on cameras, at least possibly. Fewer witnesses too. Given the sheer number of ways to sell things these days, if they are smart they can probably offload a...

    Why the hell is that there?

    OMGWTFBBQ Sounds like a dozen different tune snippets rolled into one. They should've set it to auto-play every time a BSoD occurred.

    Greg's software pick of the day

    I still kinda like SpaceMonger for tracking down what's taking up drive space. There's a newer non-free version that has even better functionality, but the free one is excellent. Link It can start from the root drive or any folder or storage device, and gives the user the ability to launch...

    Apple Rumored to be Considering Pulling the Plug on its Mac Pro Line

    Maybe I'm mis-reading something, but going from what you said if the other Macs don't meet these people's needs, then a Mac Pro is the only option left? That was pretty much the only market for these things anyway given the costs. The Mac Pro line uses Xeons, and a server chipset, solely...

    AMD Lays Off 10% of Global Workforce

    At first, I assumed it was from the CPU division, but it is not. There are a ton of high level ATI folks getting kicked to the curb here. Carrell Killebrew is Director of Product Planning for AMD's GPU division. He's the guy to thank for ATI's recovery after the ATI 2900XT fiasco, as he...

    Help with a 3TB drive

    Tharic-Nar mentioned the first thing that came to mind. After looking at the BIOS download page I can't tell if Gigabyte released a 3TB capable BIOS update for that board or not. It doesn't look like they have. Let us know if that ASUS utility fixes the issue for ya!

    Totally awesome thing for Gearbox to do! I'm definitely looking forward to Borderlands 2!
