    AM2 Sempron 2800+ OC'ing

    I believe the Sempron was originally a mobile processor, which would explain the excellent overclocking results. The cpus are allowed to clock themselves up to their original settings for maximum performance. Much like the Opterons, the Semprons have a bit higher quality standards, and would...

    Anyone played the New Hitman Blood Money

    I've got a friend at work who hasn't put the game down since it came out. I don't know much about the series, but from what he says it should be a great sequal. It rates your performance at the end of each mission, and there's some great levels, from what I've heard. Even a Mardi Gras scenario...

    PS2: Atelier Iris 2 - The Azoth of Destiny

    Classic 2D sidescrolling RPG action? NICE! It may not be my style of game, but it's good to see 2D making a comeback. The graphics aren't tremendous, but it seems like the unique gameplay makes up for that. Nice work Jen.

    SilverStone TJ08

    Clean looking case, acceptable room for a micro atx board, dual 120mm fans... Not bad at all. The only thing that got me, the price. Although $100 isn't a great deal to spend on a case, a micro case shouldn't cost that much. One note.. where's the BTX?

    Pictures of top DFI nF5 AM2 board..

    Surprise. Surprise. I didn't think it'd take long for DFi to pick up on the Intel crowd. After finding out the Intel chipsets support sli with certain drivers ;). With the performance we've seen of the Conroe cores, it's a good move by DFi to start their own Intel performance boards.

    ESRB Could Fine Publishers $1m

    I bet she's unmarried, and has no kids. If she was she'd realized how silly the company is. It's kinda like the TV rating system here in the US. Little symbols to tell the people watching, it's rating. Which... won't stop anyone from watching something that's not appropriate for their age. Just...

    Windows Vista Beta 2 Performance Reports

    Nice work Rob. Good to see someone getting the skinny on what Microsoft is up to. I'd just like to emphsize what you mentioned at the end of the article, and I won't be getting Vista until it's necessary. The whole "benchmarking a beta" arguement is silly. It shows the expected performance of an...

    Finality

    Yeah, that's the thing. I'm only home 3 days a week. Most of those days are spent catching up on sleep and playing with the pc. I paid my grandmother rent as well. The only reason I've been given to get out, is that my college semester is up. I'm going to look into either moving my cable...

    Finality

    Well, there's been a lot of things going on, and I'm being forced to leave this abode. I've been living with my grandmother, and since my spring semester was up she's been on my case to get out. So tomorrow will be my last day having internet until who knows when. I'll be moving in with my...

    AMD "Torrenza"

    Hmm.. VPU maybe? (ATI acquisition.. video... ) Who knows?

    Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Preferred

    Doesn't Windows come with a talk-to-text converter? Or is that MS Word? Either way, I used that with about 5 minutes of "training" and it did a decent job. I don't use it, but played around with it a couple months back. It was kinda neat. As far as the Dragon though, I don't have any...

    Will AMD buy ATI?

    I kind of expected this. With NVidia controlling the gaming market with their NForce chipsets and cards, ATI was fighting a losiing battle. Both ATI and AMD have home offices in North America. AMD being based out of California, and ATI out of Ontario. It'll be neat to see what evolves from this...

    Maxtor being cut in half

    I had to rma the only Maxtor hd I've ever bought. It was built right after some product changes, so who knows. It may have been an overlooked lemon. 60Gb ATA-133. WD has my love.. ;)

    Arctic Cooling Silentium T2

    This case, although nicely designed, is about 3 years too late. Would have been great when Socket A was in style. When 400w was standard for a pc. It's a clean looking case, not going to wow your buddies, but does it's job well. Space is an issue, and most are going to need more room these days...

    Brando USB Sunglasses MP3 Player

    Again, great concept, bad implementation. The amount of space is great, I definitely agree on that. Still, 512 and 1Gb space for music/data in a set of sunglasses is awesome. I've got a good sized head myself, and no, one size doesn't fit all. They don't look too bad, though. Styling is on par...

    Zalman 9500AT Intel 775 CPU Cooler

    I was speaking of this metal bracket, surrounding the cpu. When I first looked at the picture I didn't realize it was a cpu retention bracket. Not being an Intel aficionado, I didn't know of that style of bracket, which, isn't included in the Zalman kit. Pardon me for my ignorance.
