Intel's "Sandy Bridge" processors are right around the corner (rumor is ~2 months), and as you might expect, motherboard vendors are hard at work to make sure their product is available at the same time. GIGABYTE, likely in response to a product briefing that ASUS is holding in San Jose next...

Search engines seem to be a dime a dozen, but more often than not, as soon as one is announced, it seems to disappear right off the map. The reason is obvious... to come out and give people a compelling reason to use your search engine over something like Google or Bing is one of the biggest...

Wireless mice offer a plethora of benefits to their users, but the most common complaint about them is the lack of battery-life, or the need to change the batteries at all. Logitech aims to make things a bit easier on people with its Marathon Mouse M705... a mouse that uses two AA batteries and...

As I've mentioned on the site many times before, I tend to have a strange problem where if a game doesn't immediately look interesting to me, I'll never look too deep into it, despite how popular it might be. The truth is, though, that it's rare when I play a game and still hold the same first...

For as long as Intel has been in business, it has created a plethora of chip types to sell to consumers, from processors to chipsets and beyond. In all that time, it has never created chips for other companies, but as it appears, that's beginning to change. The company has entered into an...

After months of speculation and beta-testing, Microsoft updated the Xbox Live Dashboard earlier today, so the next time you hop onto the service, you'll be prompted to install it. The major feature of this update is to enable Kinect support, but there are a couple of other notable introductions...

According to most Web developers, HTML5 is something worth being excited about, because it's designed to take the Web to the next level. While many websites today rely on things like Adobe Flash to run robust content, HTML5 is able to replace them when done right. This is especially true where...

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about a special Japan-only Nintendo Wii bundle that was being released to help celebrate Mario's 25th anniversary, and well, if you were disappointed at the exclusivity there, this news might cheer you up. Either Nintendo had a change of heart, of the demand was...

The allure of an SSD is one that's difficult to ignore, but with pricing still in the realm of limited adoption, many are choosing to wait things out. But what about taking a baby step into the SSD world, with a hard drive that equips a mechanical design with some NAND flash to speed things up...

As far as technology goes, there's little that's quite as interesting as a supercomputer. They're powerful beyond comprehension, and there are many of them scattered around the earth. It's not too often though, that a new supercomputer gets announced that sets the bar much higher than before...

Long before Techgage came to be, a hobby (or perhaps addiction) of mine was discovering and playing MMORPG games. My first real foray into an MMO was with Asheron's Call in early 2002, and that's a game I still play today. Another game I sunk a countless number of hours into was Lineage II...

Of all the things we can do with our PCs, an often ignored task is keeping our personal data safe. Past that, there's also a general lack of planning of what to do in the event of an OS crash. Acronis' True Image Home 2011 tackles both of these scenarios plus many more, and as we've found out...

As has been proven many times over the years, Apple is a company that wants to be the best at what it does. One of its major focuses is integration, and because of such keen attention to that, we've seen some of the smallest digital products on the market come straight out of Cupterino. Take the...

If you were using the Internet about 10 years ago, you understand well what the landscape was like at the time. The hot topic was file sharing, and while consumers were thriving on it, the music industry, among others, were not having any of it at all. In 1999, the trend-setting Napster came...

By the sheer number of SSD-related news posts that get put up in a given day, it's easy to imagine that almost everyone, and every company, are confidently standing behind the technology. But, that's not entirely the case, especially where mechanical hard drive vendors are concerned. Though...

It seems like a simple question, but I'm willing to bet that it's one that could be answered a billion different ways. Age might have a lot to do with it as well, since if you've been playing games since the earliest days of the PC and game consoles, you probably know what a truly difficult game...

Last week, Apple released its latest iteration of the Macbook Air, and in more than one way, it's a rather explosive product. While the original MacBook Air proved to be the thinnest notebook around, the latest version takes things to an entirely new level. It's so thin, that it barely looks...

We'll have to file this one under, "Whoops, we bet NVIDIA wished that didn't happen!". That's a file that's starting to get a bit fat, and this recent "issue", if you can call it that, didn't help things. On Monday, we linked to a story that claimed that NVIDIA had dropped the pricing of its...

GIGABYTE's not a huge name in the peripheral business, at least on these shores, but it hopes that will change in the near-future. To help kick things off, it recently released its first gaming keyboard as part of its Aivia line-up, and in addition to sturdy construction, it features unique...
