OCZ's Alex Mei contacted us to say that the rumor is absolutely false. A quick quote from our updated news post: "OCZ's Executive VP and CMO Alex Mei contacted us to let us know that the rumor of a sale is false, and that all is well with PC Power & Cooling. Alex also mentioned that PCP&C...

That's a fair comparison, but I'd argue that the brand of clothing could actually affect the design, the material, the overall quality and so forth. In that regard, you'd be actually paying for an improvement. That wouldn't be the case with these GPU's though, if you are knowingly paying more...

So I decided to give the same kind of test a go on Gulftown, and the results are again quite good. I didn't get to compile just what I wanted to with a quick install of Ubuntu, so I settled on compiling the kernel itself. It's nice to see something quite so multi-threaded! I wish I could find a...

Wow, that IS a long wait, haha! It did look like there was a huge focus on IMAX, so you might be right Tharic. I don't plan on seeing it in the theaters simply because I don't care for them, so I'll just wait for the Blu-ray release.

Yup, I put a couple of the tips to use last night, and the supper turned out to be better than usual (though it was just steak and vegetables, not rocket science).

I admit that I wouldn't even know the difference, since I only played the original SC for benchmarking purposes. That sucks that the game went downhill so far though, I have no idea why companies make such drastic changes that obviously make the game worse than what fans of the series are...

I can't comment much on your issues since I've never used a Razer product for a long period of time, but I haven't heard many similar issues to yours. Although I did have a fair bit of issues with the Habu mouse from Microsoft, which was designed by Razer, but even so, I have issues with all my...

I didn't report this simply because I didn't want our front-page to be littered with all this related news. I still need to hop in the original Portal and go through it. I tried the other night, but Bad Company 2 stole my attention instead.

That's true, and that bothers me. I am not sure if Crytek has given up on PC gaming, but after Warhead was released, it said that it would no longer concentrate on PC's, simply because the piracy was so bad. That's pretty freaking sad. I can't believe piracy has come to that.

It has nothing to do with that, it has to do with the fact that it's tied into the Windows operating system, and cannot run on alternate OSes, like Linux and Mac OS X. I'd be willing to bet that Apple would never even ponder implementing DirectX support into the OS, but I could see it being a...

At that point, I just can't see a release happening, unless it <em>had</em> to happen. I couldn't imagine looking at a specs page for a GPU and not even see it list the interface. The 3.0 spec is one idea, but I'm not sure that would work either. I'm sure there is a lot more to the 3.0 spec than...

What's the reason you're so set on RAID for? Are you looking for performance or simply for redundancy? I just don't see RAID as a convenient option anymore, because most people I know who've done RAID seem to have regretted it at some point. Most of those were running RAID 0, but even so. I...

You're right about the agreement Dodson had with OCZ, but I'm wondering if the payoff just isn't as great as OCZ expected back in the beginning. It would seem strange for any sort of decline, because as far as I'm aware, PCP&C is still one of the premier PSU manufacturers, and I still see their...

The host clock had to be set to 173MHz, that's it. Nothing else was changed. The success of this might vary between motherboards, so setting the voltage manually might be required. Judging by our screenshot, the real voltage was between 1.25v - 1.30v, so if you set it to 173MHz and it's not...

At this year's CES, one of the coolest products being shown off at the show was the result of a joint venture between Razer and Sixense. It also happens to be a product that I completely managed to avoid while at the event (I am still kicking myself over it). It's a motion controller that...

By early 2011, all hard drives produced will begin featuring a technology called "Advanced Format", which reduces the drive's overhead by moving the sector sizes from 512b to 4Kb. The benefit is that less space inside the drive will be hogged by ECC blocks, and it will ultimately result in...

Earlier this week, a rumor surfaced online that claimed that OCZ Technology was trying to sell PC Power & Cooling, a company that it acquired three years ago. German tech site Planet 3DNow! yesterday made the rumor even more interesting by coming right out and claiming that OCZ has sold off...

Haha, I actually forgot all about this! That trailer looks great :D

Hi Dale: Apologies for missing your post here, I'm not sure how I managed that one. To be honest, I can't give a tutorial that's going to prove 100% successful, because in my experience, something that works one time doesn't work the other. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it could have to...

Thanks for all of the input guys, I appreciate it :) I really don't have much more to say on the subject, given the Ars article summed it up so well. But what I will say is that we make sure we don't have annoying ads on our sites, or any that are intrusive. You'll notice that we have no ads...
