It's not too often that an application installer impresses me, or even manages to stand out in any real way, but the latest Autodesk software has implemented one of the best I've ever seen: Have any installers ever impressed you guys?

If it seems like AMD's Llano desktop processors have taken forever to get here, it might be because... they have - or at least it feels that way. When I first heard of Llano and what AMD planned on doing with it, I couldn't wait to see a release. After all, with it, it means that both Intel...

Hi zlao: If you see this, could you shoot me an e-mail? I contacted Logisys and while the product has long been discontinued, they have a manual and driver they can mail you.

My grandmother was complaining about her PC being super-slow, and as I knew nothing about it prior to receiving it, I didn't know what to expect. Normally, she will go to my aunt, who works at a computer store, as she repairs PCs all day and was the one who built the machine. But this time, I...

On the lookout for a higher-end graphics card, but value both temperatures and acoustics? MSI, with its Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition (*phew*) may have just what you're looking for. In our tests, it often settled right beside more expensive offerings, and where acoustics and...

That's right! A post on the official Shift 2 Unleashed website has brought some good news to PC gamers in that both the Legends and Speedhunters DLC packs, previously released for $10 on both XBLA and PSN, will be hitting the platform later this week for free...

Last week saw the release of Mozilla's latest Web browser, Firefox 5, while this week, e-mail lovers get treated to a fresh Thunderbird release, also versioned 5. "What happened to 4???" Great question, but one that's easily answered. The 'rapid release' schedule that Mozilla created for...

Looking to get your mobile game on, but don't want to spend too much cash? If so, the upcoming handheld 'nD' might be right up your alley. It's being developed by Robert Pelloni, creator of the upcoming Bob's Game for the Nintendo DS (and nD), and his project is truly ambitious. He aims to build...

Kind of like the white MacBook itself.

I'll respond to some of the posts here later, but I posted the video for those who haven't seen it: http://techgage.com/news/crysis_2_directx_11_comparison_video_posted/

It seems the NVIDIA driver causes a lot of issues with GNOME 3, then. I ran the Fedora updater prior to publishing this review, as I hoped a fix would be pushed through to remedy the problem, but that update ended up killing my GNOME install, resulting in me having to downgrade it. Thus, I...

Here are a couple of quick comparison shots. 1920x1200, maxed details, DX9 vs. DX11: DirectX 9 DirectX 11 I'd recommend saving the shots to your desktop and then using a photo viewer to flick between them to see the differences easier.

As expected, EA and Crytek today released a couple of patches for Crysis 2 that enables an 'Ultra' mode, DirectX 11 abilities, and the opening of an 'Advanced' graphics configuration menu. With these upgrades, the game becomes more like the original Crysis in terms of customization, and it's...

We took a look at GIGABYTE's ATX A75-UD4H motherboard a couple of weeks ago, and in the post, I mentioned that I'd love to take a look at an mATX FM1 board since that seems to be the perfect platform for what AMD's upcoming Lynx chips are going to be offering. Well, lo and behold, an ASUS...

After testing those site blurbs again under Gentoo with Firefox, that problem in particular does appear to be a browser-specific issue. In Chrome, the fonts are closer to Windows; readable, with a non-broken 'e'. I had thought that I tested this out earlier this month, but my mind may be playing...

Fedora has long been touted as being one of the most professional, stable, cutting-edge distros out there, and seeing as though its latest version brings GNOME 3 along for the ride, I couldn't help but download and install it. I've since used Fedora 15 for an entire month, so read on as I take a...

For the amount of time you have free in a given day, I won't hold it against you for not giving Linux a try ;-)

I'll be fair in saying that I've seen no more than the menu screen for this game, but judging by the screenshots and gameplay video alone, I just have no interest. I am one of those few people still sour about the fact that TF2 was supposed to be realistic... then we were given -this-. It's just...

Today, it's not difficult to find a 'great' distro, one that makes it easy to get up and running with a fully functional and robust desktop, fast. Even just five years ago, though, finding a 'do it all' distro was a little more difficult, and it was for that reason that I found myself loving...
