For the desktop, I wouldn't. There, I'd just suck it up and get an SSD, then a Caviar Green for all of the storage.

Sick is right! I feel like hauling it out of the benchmarking machine and putting it in mine :D Alas, I need it for further testing :-(

It's been a long while since we've last seen a $700 graphics card, but AMD revives that tradition with its Radeon HD 6990 dual-GPU offering. Fortunately, the card has proven that its high price-tag is well-earned, as it storms past every other single and dual-GPU graphics card on the market, and...

Although Apple's iTunes music service is uber-popular, it's not devoid of some major issues. While one I'd love to see resolved is the lack of lossless music, I'd be willing to say a more important one is allowing people to download a purchased song more than once. In its current state, iTunes...

For as long as the iPhone 4 has existed, some users have been waiting for the elusive white version, but to no avail. Apple keeps delaying the white version so much, that it seems like it's never meant to see the light of day. Just what is causing such an issue? That's been a common question...

The benefits of building a small PC are easy to understand, but what's not always easy is finding an ideal case to store all of the components in. Well, for those looking for something a bit different, SilverStone has its Fortress FT03... an offering that must be seen to be appreciated. It's a...

Yup, it does look a bit like a DFI board, haha. I am curious to see how this sells though... it's so niche.

I didn't mean that PAX is "small" per se, just that we tend to focus on the more important shows for our specific focus. We hope to broaden out a bit in the future though, and shows like that would be a no-brainer. Haha, true! I got in nearly 40 hours of Rift in during its first week of...

I'm a little overdue on responding here... damn. Above & Beyond is a major exception for me when it comes to slower music. They are just epic producers, and I haven't heard an album by them yet that has been lackluster... not even close. Do yourself a favor and listen straight through the...

In a blog post made by AMD's Director of Client Technology, Godfrey Cheng, the argument is made that x86 performance isn't a factor that should be weighed too heavily when it comes to making comparisons between the two major CPU competitors, AMD and Intel. Given that it's Intel with the clear...

When most people look to purchase a motherboard, there are a couple of considerations that might come to mind. Features, features, and more features. Believe it or not, though, for hardcore overclockers, it might be a lot of these features that prove problematic in overclocking, and it's for...

Unigine, the company behind the popular DX11 benchmark "Heaven", has just announced a rather significant upgrade, coming in the form of "2.5". Long heralded as one of the best measures of DX11 and tessellation performance out there, Heaven 2.5 brings SSDO support for improved global...

Given the history of Intel's SSD line-ups, we're generally aware of what a new launch is going to bring to the table, but the company side-swiped us with the announcement of its SSD 510 series. Rather than feature Intel's G3 controller, the company opted for a Marvell offering to help deliver...

So, I'm still enjoying the game quite a bit. I'm level 25.5, and have no plans of slowing down the leveling... would be nice to be level 30 by next week, but we'll see (work comes first!). I still like the game for the reasons mentioned earlier, but as I've played a fair bit now, there are a...

We're not there unfortunately, but we have plans to be there someday. With no one on staff close to the area, it's hard to commit resources to sending someone to these small events when there are more important ones to attend :-( GDC is going on right now as well... kind of wish I was there :D

Haha, don't feel too bad... we can't even use it (AMD still hasn't given us a driver). Yes, we received a GPU without a driver to use it. Don't be surprised... happens often (with AMD, never NVIDIA). Hoping for it tonight so I can get down to testing!

Looking good :D I can't wait to see that baby running at high-end settings on a PC.

Wow, an iPad 3 later this year? That's quite the aggressive rollout. Still, it's March, and the iPad 3 might not be out until December, so I don't know if that will hold people back from picking up an iPad 2. I'm curious to see what else it'll offer aside from the Retina Display, because that...

At a press event held in San Francisco earlier today, Apple announced its much-anticipated iPad 2. For those who liked the original, this revamped model has the potential to blow minds, as it fixes many of the complaints that users had against the original model. No, the iPad 2 doesn't have a...

Wait... a PC demo? WHERE? I was hoping to see it available on Steam, but no cigar. I am certain Crysis 2 will be a game we'll be benchmarking, but not multiplayer... that's too sporadic.
