    Advice for Memory Upgrade?!

    4GB is actually quite a small amount of memory nowadays, especially for video editing. An upgrade could definitely help, but what you want to do is run a program like AIDA64 that can monitor your RAM usage during your usual processing. If the RAM Adobe has allocated (in the settings) isn't being...

    Reviews on Hi-Fi 3D Technology Motherboard?

    Alright, I get it... we need to take a look at a BIOSTAR board soon (I plan on it, after I get out of this pile) ;-) To be perfectly honest, if I were to build a personal PC right now, I'd lean towards ASUS. All the big companies have great offerings, but ASUS' featuresets tend to grab me by...

    A motherboard that slows the boot down over time?

    Not that I could ever see. I'm going to replace the board soon nonetheless because it's just crapping itself out. I tested multiple drives, so that was not the issue here.

    Thanks for the nod, Brett!

    Been watching some of what you're up to on Facebook, stoked to see that mod come together! And yeah, I will get down there eventually, believe it!

    Motherboard upgrade!!??

    Unfortunately, we haven't reviewed any ASRock or BIOSTAR here, but should do so in the near-future. I've heard great things about ASRock though and typically meh things about BIOSTAR (mostly about their short life before problems occur). So, the thing is... onboard audio isn't stellar, and if...

    Hot Coffee Mod

    It's a little bit hilarious that our GPU test rig uses the exact same chassis + PSU (though the chassis will be turning into a Storm Trooper soon). By the pictures, it still appears pretty purple? Or was this before it turned to brown? That is amazing, but not all too surprising. Those 900...

    Need For Speed, the movie

    Kind of cool to be around where a movie is being filmed! I'm looking forward to the movie, and like Optix I believe it will be similar to Fast and the Furious. I think the lead character, played by Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad, will suit the role quite well.

    Freespace IP picked up by Interplay

    A) Interplay still exists. B) Freespace IP has been purchased for a mere $7,500. You could call that a steal. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/09/interplay-retrieves-freespace-ip-from-thq-for-7-500/

    The Sims 3 DLC can be expensive...

    It's no secret that DLC for The Sims 3 is expensive, but as I was watching a new video from the Lazy Gamer, I almost spit out my food: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puWu0ly4lEE#t=5m30s Yes, $19 for that "Renaissance Faire" :eek:

    Borderlands 2 on sale at Amazon (Xbox and PS3 included)

    Zalman VF3000F GTX 570/580 GPU Cooler Review

    It's hard to judge what's a true medium when the sound and feel of the fan differs so little at >50% speeds. I do agree somewhat, however. 50% might seem like a medium but if a fan doesn't kick in until well past 0% on the dial, than that could be adjusted. That's a good observation, and I...

    Who's planning to upgrade to Haswell?

    With a four-year rig, when do you think you'll upgrade? Sure doesn't matter if you don't feel the need to, though. It's not like the old days where your rig would feel out-of-date after six months.

    Who's planning to upgrade to Haswell?

    You would get one and use the IGP, or look for one with a discrete card? I hope the latter, given you're actually a gamer ;) Got a LOL outta me :D

    Who's planning to upgrade to Haswell?

    With Intel's Haswell right around the corner, I'm wondering who here is planning on making the move? It's supposed to be the most power-efficient desktop / server chips that Intel has ever crafted, and to be honest, I find that a lot more interesting than the 10-15% performance boost. We'll...

    Lamborghini Unveils Egoista - This thing is WILD

    I already know that JD hates hates hates this design, but something about it... it's just so over-the-top. I tend to not care too much about Lamborghinis, but this is one I sure wouldn't mind seeing in person. http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/05/13/lamborghini-egoista-concept-supercar/
