Haha, at this point in time, it's starting to look like that. But AMD is far from dead. I am hoping for something big to come out of the company soon, though. Its ATI division has been rocking, so I just wish some of that success would rub off onto AMD itself.

Yes! I'd agree that picking up a Gulftown and overclocking that would be the best solution to your problems... just imagine adding 50% more performance to what you have now ;-)

I'm the opposite. I thought it was cool at first, but now I'm starting to realize all the things I don't like about it. The multi-tasking is just one thing, there are others that would prevent me from purchasing it. One of the main reasons has nothing at all to do with the iPad... it's just the...

That's all fine and good, but at the same time, the iPad lacks multi-tasking, so it's hard at this point to know whether or not that's an OS issue, or a CPU issue. I'm guessing the former, but why on earth would it be lacking it in the first place? This raises a major issue I have with...

Nice investigative work! To be clear though, I have no problems with someone here mentioning another site, so don't be afraid to give credit where it's due :) That is so appropriate... I've always pictured Tango to be a purple-hat cane-wielder ;) Being called a pimp in relation to tech...

This truly disgusts me. What's next? Microchips in writing pens that automatically cut off the ink flow after you write 10,000 words? I'm not even making a joke... it's the exact same thing. Hah, I'd just call them an artist, but I'm sure there's a more specific title out there somewhere. As I...

I am not the one to answer this, but it's something you'd want to find out soon. I almost wonder if a cable somewhere has a small split in it, or something. The only time I've ever had a chassis give me a shock was when the carpet in the room was a bit damp after a basement flood. I assume you...

Fine, got me again, Robert ;)

I agree. I have no idea how to get true 5.1 from a console to be honest, but using a splitter will deliver audio to each of the speakers no problem. I know a couple of people who do this and it works fine. For true surround, you might need HDMI and a receiver or some configuration like this (or...

I have to agree with the on-board RAID statement... I don't think I'd trust it that much. As for RAID 1, I'm not too sure I even care that much about that, although that's just me. I back-up data out the rear, so if the main HDD in my PC crashes, I just need to re-install the OS and copy the...

With Intel's recent Clarkdale processor launch, the itch to build that new HTPC is no doubt greater than ever. Not only does Intel offer a wide-range of processors, but motherboard vendors are currently offering an incredible amount of H55 models. We're taking a look at two here, Intel's own...

Earlier today, we exposed the fact that it's unwise to be absolutely carefree while online, because if you upload anything that at all can put you in a poor light, you can bet that someone will find it. In the case of that news post, it could be an employer, and that can have obvious...

For many of us, social networking is increasingly becoming an integral part of our lives. Are you on Facebook, or any other service like it? How often do you check it? Chances are that if you do use a social networking site, you check it daily, and in the cases of some socialite...

As I have mentioned many times in our news section in the past, I'm a big fan of open-sourced software and use it where able. Because I use Linux as my primary operating system, most of the software I use is free and open-sourced, but even for Windows, a lot of what I use there is as well...

To be honest, unless you could get last-gen high-end Xeons at a great price, I wouldn't even look at them. Your current rig is super-powerful as is, so there's just no need. To sink in more money would be a waste and really, if any money was to be spent, it'd probably be better spent on building...

Unregistered: I agree, that would be a great comparison. We're kicking things off a bit slow, though, and don't have immediate plans to tackle RAID, given we have a lot of catching up to do with regards to popular single-drive models on the market. We'll definitely be covering RAID as soon as...

In no way could I have described the fan noise as "outrageous" during our testing. I have a lot of ambient noise in this room to begin with, but I tend to get annoyed fast when a sound off a CPU or GPU gets too loud. If I have a chance, I'll pop the card back in soon and get up closer to it. In...

After months of intense hype, Apple finally announced its "tablet" computer yesterday. I use tablet in quotes, because after making our news post about the iPad yesterday, I quickly realized that Apple itself was not using the word "tablet". Rather, it simply calls it a "device". Go ahead...

Our friends at GOG.com have sent along word that they've just secured a mega-deal to deliver classic games from a publisher that's about as classic as they come: Activision. Available on the site immediately are two titles I feel like I need to make the time for, Arcanum: Of Steamworks &...

SATA 3.0 may have been available to consumers for the past couple of months, but the number of hard drive options out there are ultra-slim... just one. That drive is Seagate's Barracuda XT. The question we're looking to answer here is whether or not the $100 premium for SATA 3.0 is worth it, at...
