With AMD's processor line-up as complete as it is, focus has been shifted a bit to the chipset department, and the result is the 890GX. Although it's packed with features, it's surprisingly inexpensive. In addition to introducing the Radeon HD 4290 IGP, it also brings native support for SATA...

With ever more powerful SSDs launching at ever higher prices it is important to not forget about the cost-conscious crowd. Toward that effort Corsair is launching two new series of SSDs to add to their current SSD lineup that mostly features Samsung controllers. You can read the rest of...

Earlier this week, we posted about Valve's brand-new Steam beta, which happens to be quite good. It doesn't add a whole lot in terms of functionality, but it sure looks a heck of a lot prettier (in a good way). But as cool as the latest beta is, it seems there was a secret hidden deep (or...

TSMC might be the world's largest independent semi-conductor company, but the way things are going lately, it's hard to know if that's going to be the case in a few years. In recent months, much has come to light regarding low yields on its 40nm processes, and according to industry-tracking...

About five years ago, the term "1080p" was almost an unknown. Only the highest-end television sets supported it, and virtually no commercial media did. But today, that's completely changed, with even budget TV's and computer monitors offering support for the high resolution. But here's a...

The term "3D" has been used quite a bit over the past couple of months, and as it stands today, there's a fair bit of content available to those with capable hardware. But on the mobile side of things, support is just beginning to creep in. The first available option was from ASUS, with its G51J...

A couple of months ago, I mentioned that in recent years Apple's negative press seemed to be on a rise. As it stands today, I don't think that was an inaccurate statement, as it just keeps coming, and all for good reason. The most recent happening has to do with the removal of about 5,000...

Yes, it's unfortunate that it's just these couple of things that cause issues. Since the CM 690 II doesn't have these issues, it's kind of important to note. I'll mention this to the designer at NZXT and see what he thinks. It's too bad, because I know just how dedicated he is to creating...

Welcome to our forums, dlb! I agree, that PSU tester from CoolMax looks solid. I haven't owned a PSU tester, because most often, if a PSU gives me issues, it's because it died ;-) I just have luck like that.

That is a truly incredible video... just wow. He got some amazing angles there, and the night shots are stellar even if they were stills. Apparently the entire thing took 5 full days to do. It almost surprises me that it only took that long given how detailed the video is.

It's just a matter of time at this point. If NVIDIA hits its March 26 launch date, then that will tell us something. If supplies are ultra-limited for the first couple of months, that should also tell us something as well.

There's no reason to be scared of Linux. If you ever want to dive in, feel free to make a forum post about it and I can give you some recommendations :-)

That's true. It is kind of ridiculous as I mentioned, but at least our hard drives are bigger than ever. On a 1TB drive, 16GB is still just a drop in a bucket.

Whoa, I can't believe that the entire issue was caused by something so unbelievably simple. Ouch. That said, I have found that a lot of people really don't put the care into things like this as they should. I would NEVER trust a power bar that for one, looks crappy, and two, is old as heck. It's...

Hah, no doubt... these CEO's are all alike. Suck up to anyone you have to in order to get the job done. In actuality, Optimus should be able to sell itself. Even without sucking-up, Apple should <em>want</em> this kind of feature on its notebooks. That's just it. To have it completely seamless...

I wish I could comment on that aspect, but I just use a cheap Logitech USB mic at the moment. I planned on upgraded down the road to a higher-end mic or headset, so if that happens, I'll be interested to see how the Xonar fares. Doesn't Windows itself offer Mic Boost options though? I didn't...

$100 is still a little expensive? Is there a wireless combo out there that costs less than this? I honestly have no idea, but I'd be interested in taking a look at it. I do agree that $100 is a lot, but nowadays that seems to be an easy-to-swallow price given the price of peripherals today. The...

That's a great find! I'm glad people who own the drive and thought they were going to get TRIM support aren't completely out of luck. It's still unfortunate that Intel decided to pull out of offering support for the drive, though.

Yes, that's just how it works, although like Kougar said, some titles can take advantage of two screens, but those are rare (and tend to only be RTS). That said, the angle tool there was just an example. If you had three monitors, you would slide it from one bezel to the next in order to...

I think they do check, but sometimes they may sacrifice a detail like that in order to just make things work. It might not always be the best way. NZXT pretty much has one single designer, so I'm sure it's freaking difficult to make sure everything is perfect, especially when he's dealing with...
