Yeah don't bother doing that, seems complex. It's not like it's just checkboxes. Edit: And not to mention I still don't think it's the best sort of gauge, that game. I could be wrong, it just strikes me as unoptimized (the developer behind it doesn't help).

I have such a strong opinion on this, I am not even sure I should open my mouth. People who choose to play as the opposite gender just weird me out, that about sums it up. Some people just don't care, or don't see the difference, and that's fine. I wish I was like that. When I create a char in...

What's with that performance? I get over 100 FPS at max detail at 1920x1200 on a 580. I understand that 580 != 5870, but the performance differences of those cards aren't -that- stark. If I do find time, I might do similar tests over the next couple of days. AMD cards aren't optimized for...

Need big storage, but can't compromise on performance? At a time when 1TB SSDs cost as much as an excellent gaming PC, the obvious choice becomes WD's VelociRaptor - which not only recently received a refresh, but also a 1TB model. Let's take a look at it, and see how it compares to WD's other...

Nice purchase! I look forward to seeing what you think of it, especially since you already have experience with Samsung. I've been half-considering upgrading to that one also, but funds are better spent on bills at the moment ;-)

That does indeed seem like a security risk. I almost can't blame Google for that decision though, given what a pain in the ass Windows can be with permissions. For the main MMO I play, I run a bunch of plugins, and in order to have them work, I have to install everything outside of the Program...

As it's been a while since I last ran CCleaner, I decided to just now and was a little surprised to find that Google Chrome was hogging 10GB, thanks to its cache. I don't have a problem with a browser keeping a big cache, but this is enormous! Alright, it's more like 9GB, but 10GB is a...

More often than not, that's done on purpose, and other times, it's because of compatibility issues. Yup, and if Windows 8 wasn't doing away with Aero, I'd be up for testing that out ;-) A proper test would be doing it with lower-end GPUs, and at the moment I am rather swamped and can't...

I can understand why some people would love a chassis like this. It's huge to the point where you just never have to worry about degraded airflow, or running out of room for things. But at the same time, I couldn't imagine walking into a room with this thing and not feel a little intimidated. I...

I agree. I keep Computer and Recycle Bin on the desktop and that's it. It does get a bit cluttered when I'm working on content, though ;-)

Haha. Even with mATX that chassis is overkill. How could ITX possibly be defined? But no, it doesn't seem to support it: Micro-ATX, ATX, E-ATX, XL-ATX, SSI CEB, SSI EEB

First and foremost, I don't believe that in-game VRAM meter to be accurate at all. At best, it's a guesstimation, just like how a power supply calculator is (as in, where you put in all of your parts and it tells you what PSU you need). It's just unfortunate that Rockstar takes it upon itself to...

What do you mean? These headsets only have one headphone/earphone/earbud.

Unless things have changed, I do believe that ASRock is related to ASUS in some way or another, but I'm not sure how. I know for certain that they don't share R&D, so I'm at a loss to how they are related. Asking someone at ASUS about it is pointless. They usually keep things like that...

Good point, haha. Even eATX wouldn't look huge in there.

I have work to take care of, so I'm posting this in haste (feel free to jab me about typos or factual errors). I am not talking hardware, and you know this. Even the Windows 8 RT edition will have a partial desktop, and allow non-Metro applications to be installed. Because the support is...

Someone else could say the same thing about GIGABYTE, that's the real problem. I remember back in the day when WD was considered the "best", and then Seagate. We just keep going back and forth. I'm with you though in that I've had better luck over the years with ASUS than GIGABYTE, though...

Good headsets like these seem to be super-hard to come by without opening the wallet wide. I know that the headsets used in call centers and the like can sometimes range in the hundreds of dollars, but they are meant to last for as long as possible. This is an area I am very unfamiliar with...

Oh, I agree. Of the patents I did hear about, they were all ridiculous and common sense. I think one had to do with how a Web browser loaded images. If the browser used placeholder images to sit there while the real images loaded, that infringed a patent. But the patent system itself is just...

I begin to sweat just looking at that image.
