Is sunlight even considered to be pure white? I guess I just like bright white because it's the purest color, and doesn't add a "tinge" to things around the room. For example, I am looking at a white motherboard box at the moment and it looks kind of beige. Of course, I guess the fact that the...

It's become so commonplace with NVIDIA that I think I've grown into it, but now that I think of it, I guess AMD does keep its product names a lot simpler. There's just one prefix (HD) and then the model number to denote the performance. But, AMD does pull other strange tricks, like naming a card...

That's a little strange, and sounds like something that should be fixable via firmware update. It's unfortunate that neither will take the blame though, and pretty much assures that won't happen =/

Polish game developer CD Projekt RED this week released the long-awaited follow-up to The Witcher, called The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. There are a couple of interesting things about the game, but most of all, it happens to be a PC-only offering, and an RPG at that. On game consoles...

I am hoping the same, although I also hope that the game has a certain level of replay-ability. With Duke Nukem 3D, I found myself being drawn back to it over and over. I'd love to experience the same thing with DNF. For what it's worth, I also got the e-mail the other day. Greg, did you ever...

To help fill a model gap that no one told us about, NVIDIA has released its GeForce GTX 560, a slight step down from the Ti variant. Featuring a cut of 48 cores and the potential for wildly varying clock speeds, this card is a strange beast. But, we look to pit MSI's 'Twin Frozr II' against our...

Haha, nice! I *thumbs up* that kind of appreciation for the Duke. What's Gamezilla, though? Don't think I've ever heard of it, and I live in the same small city :o

"Hey, I'd still hit it." Been amped up for this game so long, that even if it sucked, I think I'd be too blinded to realize it. I just hope it manages to keep me 1/10th as much as DN3D did. If so, that $50 will pay for itself over and over again. First-person shooter games are a dime a dozen...

As I mentioned in the post, because benchmarking will be performed via my personal PC, I'd like to perform most of the testing via Linux, aside from the application tests which of course require Windows. After some quick tests, though, I seem to have some I/O issue (namely, I am getting much...

Haha, I can't wait :D

The moment those who've been waiting for 'Welcome Back' details is over, as Sony has laid out its "customer appreciation" program across three of its regional blogs. In total, gamers in North and Latin America and also Europe will be gifted two PlayStation 3 games and/or (it's not too clear)...

Hah! We're so close to being able to get our SSD content going again. Robert's been ardently working on a new build for the past couple of weeks, figuring out all of its tricks and tweaks, so we should be getting some new SSDs to take a look at soon. We're waiting for a CPU cooler replacement at...

I couldn't agree more. In the case that someone is Z68-less, there is still the similar solution from Seagate available in the form of the Momentus XT, but unfortunately that only caches up to 4GB worth of data on NAND flash, which is rather paltry in comparison. And still, technically it...

Sounds like a great build to me! It's AMD though, not ATI ;-)

In what's sure to be a major relief to devout PlayStation gamers everywhere, Sony has finally begun bringing up the bulk of its online PSN service, one piece at a time. There have been a couple of issues that have prevented the service from remaining up since the original restoration, but as it...

I don't know. "Friday" is pretty good.

Oh, whoops; I misunderstood :o I wholeheartedly agree that the general workflow will be much better when working with an SSD. That doesn't only apply for coders, but any developer or heavy multi-tasker. Once you become spoiled to a near-lack of waiting for a file to open or program to load...

Remember when MTV was more about music and charts and less about teen pregnancies and glorified idiots? No? To be fair, those days ended long ago, but in its prime, MTV was a great source of discovering some hot music, and to see which tracks were burning up the charts. Today, though, there are...

Welcome to the forums :-) To be honest, I am not too sure that having an SSD would speed up a coding environment much at all. There are a lot of little files accessed all the time, but it'd be rare when a bunch of them are accessed at the exact same time. In the event of compiling, speed...

With Nintendo scheduled to take the veil off its "Wii 2" in the weeks to come, speculation has begun to run rampant with regards to what kind of console it's going to be, or if it's going to be the last of its kind. For those who just love their traditional console experiences, there's no good...
