    Intel To Take Over Nvidia?

    If TheCrimsonStar mean Intel pwns AMD, then yes and no. Intel = more performance for more money. AMD = more budget options and backward compatibility. Take your pick of which one is more important to you. As DarkStarr said they are two very different companies.

    Intel To Take Over Nvidia?

    Intel would cry foul three ways from Sunday if AMD bought Nvidia. They'd control almost all of the market. I'm sure there would be court cases flying left and right. Something else to think about - what would happen to their partners like EVGA if Nvidia were bought by Intel? Would they have...

    Intel To Take Over Nvidia?

    If Intel were to buy Nvidia there is nothing to say that it won't be mired in months if not years of anti-trust litigation because they would hold too much of the market. With such deep pockets it still wouldn't matter but we'll see.

    Razer Anansi - MMO Gaming Keyboard

    But it's a MMO keyboard, Rob. WoW fanboys will fall all over themselves just to have something that is caters to the MMO market. I can see the new Naga doing well too with that group even though something simple will likely do the job just as well.

    AMD Radeon HD 6870 & HD 6850

    YEEHAW! Upgrade time! http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=12030BD2219&vpn=H685F1GD&manufacture=HIS I'll need to sell a case and my current card to do it though.

    Seagate Believes in a Hybrid HDD Future, not an SSD One

    Don't tell OCZ this. They just opened another fab plant to help cover the demand for their SSD's. I agree with killem2 though. If the price can come down (a lot!) then they may have a winner. Anand's review shows it beating a VelociRaptor in a few tests but not giving much performance over...

    LimeWire Loses Court Battle to RIAA and Shuts Down

    I have had a few people drop off their systems because they are infested and what do I see on the desktop? A LimeWire icon. I feel like going Ronald on their asses!

    Intel To Take Over Nvidia?

    There have been a lot of rumors going around lately about the state of Nvidia. One such rumor caused a late rally in Nvidia's share price earlier this month according to Bloomberg.com. There's no doubt that Intel did a belly flop into the kiddy pool with what could have been a great...

    NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller

    I received a PM from DarkStarr who is having the same problem with his fans although I'm not sure what model(s) he has connected. Hmm...

    NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller

    *POOF!* Thread necro! So I finally tracked down the Sentry LXE (thanks Rob) and I'm having a problem where my fans are either on full or off. There is no in between. The "fan level" in the middle decreases but when they hit a certain point they stop without ever scaling back. Here's a...

    PC Parts (used in a awesome build)

    Yikes! That's what terrifies me when my wife is late picking me up. I trust her driving but it's the other douche bags that aren't paying attention. Get better soon!

    Tornado went right by my house

    I may complain about my little chunk of Canada but the worst thing that happens to us is being down wind from the pulpmill.

    GIGABYTE Aivia K8100 Gaming Keyboard

    Pair that keyboard up with an InWin Ferrari case and you in gearhead heaven. If I were Gigabyte I would have gone with the same color scheme as their Ghost series of Mice. Grey with red accents would look bomb diggity!

    PC Parts (used in a awesome build)

    Mwahaha! I have your address now, sucka! Nice looking case. The same one is available under the Apex brand and I -think- the general design is used in one of the Xigmatek cases. I love budget PC's. It's my mission now to get the most for the least when at all possible. Great build.

    Medal of Honor (PC)

    For those of you who have not read Rob's review, you can check it out here. My review is going to put a bit of a different spin on things. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination. Aside from Borderlands my last first person shooter was Quake II waaaay back in '98 on Heat...

    AMD Radeon HD 6870 & HD 6850

    And that is why I dig TG, Rob. No bullshit, no nonsense reviews. Besides, most of us will get the stock version and overclock it past what any company does with their own non-reference clocks...except maybe Gainward's GLH cards. Nutty!

    Steve Jobs fixes the big problem with netbooks...

    AMD Radeon HD 6870 & HD 6850

    Wow. My little 5770 is getting eaten alive and it's was only $20 cheaper than the 6850 when I bought it. So now I have a dilema - save for a 6850 or grab another 5770? Oh well. I have to upgrade my wife's rig first so I guess either option will have to wait.
