    NVIDIA Releases GeForce 304.48 Beta Driver

    It totally crashes Civ V for me, so I think NVIDIA has some kinks to work out.

    A Heatsink That Spins at 2000 RPM? Enter the Sandia Cooler

    Air and water-based cooling solutions for your CPU or GPU might seem "good enough", but in reality, they're usually quite inefficient. The reason boils down to the fact that A) these coolers don't actually generate cooling properties (like freon in a refrigerator) and B) there's a limit to how...

    Firefox for Android

    I am in the same boat then I'm sure. I still have an old 800MHz (I think) beater. Not that it matters much. What I'd really like to be able to run is Chrome, so that I could sync bookmarks between desktop and phone, but noooo, Android 4 only.

    Dell Announces Six New 'P' and 'E' 19-22-inch Displays

    If you're on the lookout for a modest-resolution display but yearn for quality better than that budget brand at the local brick and mortar, Dell looks to have you covered. The company today released a combined six displays; three in the "P" line and three in the "E" line. Ordinarily we'd believe...

    Dell Updates its XPS 15 and XPS 14 Notebooks

    Alongside the company's announcement of its new P and E series displays today, Dell also unveiled an update to its XPS 15 notebook and XPS 14 ultrabook. These follow in the footsteps of the well-received XPS 13 released earlier this year (which, in my opinion, is one of the best-looking...

    L.A. Noire - $5 on Steam

    Deals don't get much better than this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/110800/ Don't expect a huge action-packed game, because this isn't it. It's mostly about crime-solving. Yes, it's good.

    Firefox for Android

    Somehow my phone has never supported Firefox, despite having a compatible version of the OS. But regardless, the more time goes on, the less amount of interest I have in the desktop variant, so I can't see things being much better on a phone. I'll stick to Dolphin.

    Lamptron FC Touch Fan Controller Review

    Nice! I just installed a Lamptron FC8 about a month ago and so far it's been kick-ass. Have five fans hooked up and it's been a life-saver with this summer heat :D Enjoy the FC Touch!

    Futuremark Releases '3DMark for Windows' Tech Demo Video

    Interested in a sneak-peak of Futuremark's upcoming "3DMark for Windows" (working title)? If so, you're in luck. The company late last week posted a "tech demo" to YouTube that, as you'd expect, is filled to the brim with eyecandy. This time around, the test has a science fiction theme, and it...

    Corsair Carbide 300R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    In a market with over a billion (give or take a couple) different chassis for under $100, finding the "right one" is easier said than done. Fortunately, there are some vendors where you pretty-well know by default that their product won't let you down. Corsair is one of those, and we're here to...

    OCZ Vertex 3 120GB - $70 ($85 before MIR)

    OCZ might have some overstock, and given that the Agility 4s are out now, the company probably wants to clean shop. Plus, this is good marketing, and it's a promotion that only lasts this weekend - it's not a permanent price.

    Borderlands Buster - i5 Mid-Range Build Log

    I agree. This rig is going to kick ass :D

    OCZ Vertex 3 120GB - $70 ($85 before MIR)

    Are you going to be putting them in RAID, or using them separately? Either way, enjoy :D

    OCZ Vertex 3 120GB - $70 ($85 before MIR)

    Well, unless all you do is copy files back and forth, SATA 3Gbit/s is more than suitable. For most people, it's the IOPS performance of SSDs that make them worthwhile, not the throughput. I wouldn't care if SSDs had the same throughput as a hard drive (~100MB/s). But a boost from 100 IOPS to...

    OCZ Vertex 3 120GB - $70 ($85 before MIR)

    I hear that, on both accounts. That'd be a combined 1GB/s throughput in a RAID 0, and 240GB of space... for $140. :eek:

    OCZ Vertex 3 120GB - $70 ($85 before MIR)

    No, that's not a typo. $70 to hook yourself up with a super-fast 120GB SSD from OCZ. Preferably you can click one of the ads on the site for this deal, or just go here...

    Chrome eating up 10GB for cache purposes!

    I don't have it on. UAC isn't the cause of all permissions issues.
