    ASUS P6X58D Premium

    I have got to say that I LOVE this board. Post time is excellent compared to EVGA x58 boards in my experience (and as Rob can attest, EVGA has released a fair share of x58 boards!). That and it always boots (another factor that prevails this board over my EVGAs. I got about 4 EVGAs...

    How Fast is TOO fast << Processors, USB3, Sata III, SSDs... >>

    Sale gone and over I couldn't not thank you for your reply Kougar, and again to the others. I think there comes a point when you realize you're about to shell out $700 for another Drive that the reality sunk in, and I had the moment of clarity. The drive has since returned to its MSRP, and...

    How Fast is TOO fast << Processors, USB3, Sata III, SSDs... >>

    Well I agree, I mean sure clearly I do have an eP33n and a desire to have new stuff, but I look at this, at my Corsair SSDs and at reality and I wonder, how much faster is this actually going to make my system. I am half convinced my new PC boots and loads and runs faster because of the...

    An Open Letter on the State of Video Games

    Well placed comic indeed - aside from Rockband and GH, I've been waiting for a good console game for a while. I don't like FPSes on PS3 or Wi, I like to run them on my PC, cheat a bit, have better WASD controls, etc. I have recently bought Prototype and Red Faction, and am very pleased with...

    ATI HD 4870 1GB vs. NVIDIA GTX 260/216 896MB

    Great Article! Given that I won't be upgrading my monitor for a while, it looks like the EVGA 896-P3-1267-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Will be a great piece for my system as I had previously though I was going to go with the ATI 1GB.

    Intel Ships Fastest Enterprise-Class SSD

    Well I know my budget is limited but I just ordered a X-25 dealie from a distributor friend of mine... I saw a review on this drive in a PS3... and nearly... well... drool nearly soaked the floor. It won't live in my desktop, but the PS3 will get some mileage out of it.

    I read your reviews on the intel ST mobos a bit ago... but seeing them on Newegg... I don't think my computer will ever be built. Can someone tell the people to stop making such awesome technology?
