A little over a week ago, an eBay listing went up that put a very desirable Radeon HD 5970 up for grabs. The exact model comes from XFX, and includes the cool gun case that's been talked about for some time. As ordinary HD 5970's generally go for $600 - $700 on the market, such an auction...

Intel may have launched its X58 chipset nearly a year-and-a-half ago, but board vendors continue to come out with new product as technologies improve. This past winter, ASUS released the P6X58D Premium, a high-end offering that boasts support for both SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0, and one that just begs...

I don't think it's only that, but the fact that ATI and NVIDIA have little reason to get their asses in gear. After all, Linux isn't exactly a stellar gaming platform with the absolute lack of titles. I think if game developers began to take Linux a little more seriously, it would lead ATI and...

Whoops, thanks a lot for catching that... fixing!

For quite a while, there's been a storm brewing between Adobe and Apple, and until recently, no one has been paying much attention. But over the course of the past couple of weeks, things have simply exploded, and both Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, and Shantanu Narayen, the CEO of Adobe...

Late last month, we reported on what was becoming known as a potential end for Palm, as the company has been sinking down quite noticeably over the past couple of years. There was mass speculation of what would happen to one of the originators of the smartphone, and that answer finally came...

That wasn't a mod but something built into the retail game. Rockstar locked it up so that people couldn't see it, but people who were fooling around with the files for the PC game noticed something a bit strange, and that's how it became known about. The version of the game for consoles also has...

3 Minutes * 100 Calls ... Yeah, DRM sure doesn't waste your time. ;)

I agree with a lot of what you say. In this particular industry, I truly believe that "nice guys finish last". As I mentioned in the news post, despite NVIDIA's most recent GPU launch having obvious and sometimes harsh faults, some sites out there gave it awards. Not surprisingly, a couple of...

I don't think it's the concept that most people have an issue with, but rather the implementation. In addition to that game issue I mentioned above, a couple of months after Windows Vista launched, I experienced another sort of show-stopper. Once again, I swapped out some hardware, and after the...

Thanks for the great review, Bill! I love this cooler, I admit, but I'm scare it wouldn't fit in my apartment.

We tackled this one the final page of the article: To preface this page, I'd like to reiterate the fact that due to complications with our motherboard, we were unable to perform power consumption tests, or push the CPU higher with overclocking. We're still investigating the reasons for...

In March, it was Intel's turn, and this month, it's AMD's. That's right, we're at the point when Phenom II X6's are hitting the market and giving consumers a much less expensive six-core CPU to chose from. We're taking a look at AMD's top-end offering, the 1090T BE, and also a brief look at...

AMD has today announced its long-awaited Phenom X6 six-core processor line-up, which at current time includes just two models: 1090T and 1055T. More than just a six-core processor, these "Thuban" models introduce AMD's Turbo CORE feature, which aims to compete with Intel's Turbo. Unlike most...

Both the 1055T and 1090T are sold out. No surprise!

I agree with b1lk1 that piracy equals theft, because that's a fact. But I don't at all agree that people should just put up with DRM, because as I said earlier, DRM hurts legal users, not pirates. See what I did there? Triple emphasis for the win. I haven't been bit by DRM too hard in the past...

It's been just a little bit over two months since Valve unveiled its UI overall for Steam, but up to this point it has been classified as a beta (and required user intervention to access). The company has now deemed the update as stable, though, so now every copy of Steam should reflect the...

I haven't ordered from TD forever... the shipping costs just kill it. At NCIX, I used to be able to get speed shipping on something for as much as $30... TD charges something like $80. Plus, its prices just don't tend to impress me all too often, so I don't even think to ever check there (plus I...

As journalists, we are on occasion asked to attend various conferences and press events in order to learn a bit more about a product or series of products. Sometimes, we pay our own way, and other times we'll be "sponsored" by one or more companies, depending on the event. Up to this point...

Our article is a bit late (will be posted on Wed), but for those who are looking to purchase AMD's brand-new and highest-end six-core processor, Tiger Direct is selling it for much less than the SRP, at $249 after mail-in rebate...
