    Intel P67 Roundup: ASUS, GIGABYTE, Intel & MSI

    We've been a little short on motherboard content lately, so to kick things back into action we're taking a look at four P67-based motherboards at once - all benchmarked using our newly revised test suite. The boards we're looking at are the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, GIGABYTE P67A-UD4, Intel DP67BG and...

    Fedora 15 & GNOME 3.0 First Impressions

    Well, this is something I tend to agree on, and I'd hate to admit how much I've ranted about such things in the past. I've even battled the case where developers have refused to change or add a heavily-requested feature (hint: rhymes with Google). The thing that bothers me most about GNOME 3 is...

    Fedora 15 & GNOME 3.0 First Impressions

    Welcome to the forums, Adam, and thanks for taking the time to post :-) I hate to admit it, but a simple Google search could have told me the same. Having come to understand what GNOME developers can be like, and having no option to restore it in the system settings, I had just figured it was...

    Fedora 15 & GNOME 3.0 First Impressions

    There must be a billion tiling-based managers out there, because it seems like I learn about a new one all the time. I know a lot of people who use awesome, but I just can't get into it. I can understand why tiling could prove beneficial, but I am stuck in my ways. At most I generally use two...

    Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold!

    No kidding! The last time something quite this important occurred was when the Earth itself came to be! That writing is Jamie's handiwork ;-) I just posted it to the forums. After his Witcher 2 review and now this, I'd be inclined to agree!

    Pre-order CoJ: The Cartel and get Bound in Blood for free!

    As the title suggests: http://store.steampowered.com/app/33420/ On a side note, has anyone here played this series much? I've been tempted on occasion to give both games an honest go, but I never end up doing it. And I have played the first couple of hours for each, but for some reason had...

    Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold!

    Dust off those faded, sun-damaged, dog-chewed Duke Nukem Forever pre-order receipts from 15 years ago, because hell has finally started to freeze-over, for under the mighty power of golden god rays from a halogen lamp, the press-ready disc has been conceived. What am I on about? Duke Nukem...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 'Reveal' Trailer... Revealed

    A couple of weeks ago, Activision released a <em>couple of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> "trailers", that to me, were not too big of a deal. Alright... I drooled all over myself. <em>But</em>, because the trailers didn't show much in way of gameplay, aka: nothing at all, I decided to hold...

    Well here's our problem! :D Oh, and I don't care if the world ends... just as long as it happens after I make it through Duke Nukem Forever.

    SilverStone Raven RV03 Full-Tower Chassis Review

    With the major success SilverStone's Raven series has experienced in the past, the RV03 has a lot to live up to. A full-tower on its side, the Raven 03 orients your motherboard to exhaust heat out the top, and as a result, makes installation an interesting process. Let's take a look and see if...

    I am, but I can be a real slave-driver sometimes :( Not even Jesus Christ can afford the unlimited package.

    Enabling and Testing SSD TRIM Support Under Linux

    Haha! I am glad I'm not alone in making goofs like this. The other night, I booted into Ubuntu and tried chrooting into my Gentoo install, and everytime I did, I'd see the file system for the Ubuntu install. I was so confused and ended up rebooting multiple times to re-attempt it. Well, of...

    Wacom's Intuos4: A Photographer's Perspective

    Wacom's tablets have long been considered an indispensable tool for novice and professional artists alike, but can they also offer some use to those who couldn't draw a circle? Our resident photographer, Brett Thomas, takes a look at the Intuos4 "Medium", to see if it manages to surpass the...

    HELP ME!!! Realtek SUCKS!!

    Well, since no one has recommended it, I'd vote for an ASUS Xonar card ;-) Just go with one that fits your budget. Even the ~$40 DG kicks the ass off an onboard solution. The DX has been out for a little while, but it too is still a kick-ass offering for the cash.

    Why We Need More Game Developers Like CD Projekt RED

    This to me is a major problem. Gamers are caught in a Catch 22, because even though we know that games should be shipping bug-free, no one wants to pass up on an "epic" game, and as such, we give the publishers our cash, and effectively say that there's no problem at all. With the case of New...

    How Does a $3 HDMI Cable Compare to a $120 One?

    I didn't actually know they shipped to Canada. Do you ever get raped with duty fees?

    Barnes & Noble Color Nook

    I need to look into this more... if it's available in Canada. I've been pondering getting a Kindle for a while, though the Nook offers a lot more functionality. Though, I am not sure I even <em>want</em> it. I kind of want a straight eBook reader that doesn't have a typical Web browser...
