Of course they'd be complaining... if I were a developer of a Web browser, I'd be doing the same thing. I still find it truly ridiculous that Microsoft was forced into this, but I think it'd be a bad thing if it had to list pretty much every possible browser out there. I think it makes sense to...

I don't understand the fanboy mentality here. It's kind of foolish when you'd absolutely refuse to go with either an ATI or NVIDIA card simply because of the name, even if the product happens to be far better. I think at this point it's almost a sickness. I used to prefer NVIDIA cards, but then...

I couldn't agree more with what you're saying, as it's pretty much how I've seen things for a while. It's true... there's ATI Stream, but what can it do, aside from working with ATI's video encoder tool? Not much as far as I'm aware. NVIDIA on the other hand proactively pushes CUDA and what it...

That's true, but even so, the number of Folders is going to be awfully low compared to those who are purchasing the cards for pure gaming. As for 3D Vision, I don't really think that's a deciding factor for most people right now, given very few even have a 120Hz TV/monitor. Would NVIDIA even...

Haha, nice find! I had no idea that Gigabyte was just so close to ASUS in terms of overall shipments, but it's good to see. I'd be willing to bet that if ASUS dropped prices, then Gigabyte would follow, so I'm not really sure if ASUS would be doing the smart thing by essentially reducing its...

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'd recommend going under $100 for a wheel, because the quality just isn't going to be there. I had a wheel for my Xbox 360 that I believe I paid $100 even for, and the quality was poor, especially compared to Logitech's wheels, which begin out at like $130. As for...

We've talked a fair bit in the past about Microsoft's browser-selection pop-up that has been introduced to European users of Windows, but since it's been implemented, it's been difficult to know what kind of effect it's had on overall browser adoption. While the numbers still aren't...

Ever since NVIDIA bought out AGEIA for its PhysX engine, the company has been pushing it as something that should be in all games, as it can greatly increase the game play and fun-factor. But according to AMD's Senior Manager of Developer Relations, Richard Huddy, most game developers that...

First and foremost, kudos on getting around to getting another build going ;-) I absolutely love the idea for this build, because I'm sure a lot of LAN party goers would love to have water-cooling, but don't, for the exact reasons you mention. The fact that the build is designed around easy...

The DirectX issue has me most interested, because as far as I can tell, the only way Source-based games could run would be through OpenGL. There's nothing much wrong with that, but take a look at the number of game developers today that actually develop games in OpenGL... there are few. If...

That's true, and I agree. Any company has the right to protect their work, but as I mentioned, there's a right way, and a wrong way. I don't think anyone aside from Ubisoft in this case would disagree that the method it chose is the wrong way. Yup, people will say, "I won't buy it because of...

Haha, I know this feeling well. For me, it seems like November is the month of the year when titles just come out too fast and don't allow enough time to actually beat each one. Although right now, I admit I'm not really playing anything new. In fact, I've been playing through the old Sega...

It would surprise me if the Linux driver had features the Windows driver didn't, because for what reason would ASUS leave them out of the official driver? It seems odd, but after taking a look, I couldn't find anything resembling those options either. I might have to e-mail ASUS about that...

Glad the wheel fit fine! That sure seems like a close call ;-)

The first of your two recommendations is the easier one ;-) Most people aren't going to move over to a different OS just because of a feature like this. It's important to note regardless that file recovery under Linux with most file systems is near-impossible to begin with, and if you do get...

So am I, and to be honest, I wish they were gone. I'd have to imagine that the number of people to ever take advantage of either of those is small, given that most people who buy this board won't be upgrading, but building a new machine. I just hate the look of the connectors... they remind me...

The GT 240 was indeed a GDDR5 model.

I don't quite understand Sapphire. I noticed on the box that it said Vapor-X cooler, but I didn't think too much of it. I didn't think it was a real Vapor-X cooler, because it didn't look like any other I took a look at before. Plus to make matters worse, Sapphire's Vapor-X HD 5850 has the same...

Glad you are enjoying the card! It's true... it's a great all-around card for non-gaming purposes, and dead silent at that. It's hard to find a real fault, that's for sure.

But for the projected price of $200 more? I'd have a hard time believing that they'll sell as easy as you say they will if this turns out to be the case. I could believe it if it was even just $100 higher, but $200 is a lot harder to stomach. Plus, we're not even talking power consumption and...
