Intel's blue logo couldn't be more appropriate for the company this year, as it has had one hassle to deal with after another. In the latest case, none other than the FTC is speaking up against the company's anti-competitive tactics, which according to the it has "stifled innovation and harmed...

Of all the current mid-range graphics cards on the market, the Radeon HD 5770 from AMD has proven to be one of the best. For its price, it offers great performance, and has other perks such as DirectX 11 and Eyefinity support. With its Vapor-X model, Sapphire has improved the card in numerous...

Fixed the URL... I renamed the title after publishing and forgot to update the URL.

I've said this for quite a while, and still stick to it, that where GPGPU (general purpose GPU) is concerned, things seem to be slow to catch on. We've seen real benefits of the technology in the past, as the hugely parallel design of a graphics processor can storm through complex computations...

This is something that wouldn't be fixed in a service pack, because it is the intended design, albeit ridiculous. Since I was doing something that seemed rather sensible, I found it foolish to run into such a show-stopping issue. I looked around the Web, and I saw that others who ran into the...

In our forums last week, I posed a simple question. For your next PC build or upgrade, how much memory will you be installing? If you're taking the Core i7 route, then you're likely to choose either 6GB or 12GB, and for everything else, 4GB seems to be the most common option, with 8GB being the...

About ten or so days ago, I posted some initial statistics regarding our readers Windows 7 usage, and since we're two weeks into December, I feel like I have enough solid data to portray just how popular the latest OS is. If you'll recall, in the first three days of the month, Windows 7...

Since its launch, Windows 7 has received a fair amount of praise and is being enjoyed by a rather significant number of users, and after what Vista brought to the table, it's great to see. But, as refined as the OS may be, there are still a number of issues with the OS that remain, and one of...

Whoops, I did indeed mean the non-PRO version. :o Thanks, I've fixed it.

Over the past few years, NZXT has become a Techgage favorite, as it has consistently developed some great products, many of which we've reviewed. Although most known for its chassis', NZXT produces much more than that. Of these, power supplies are fairly popular, not to mention some of the...

After waiting for more than a year, Mac OS X and Linux users last week finally had a version of Google's Chrome Web browser to take advantage of. At the same time, Google also unveiled a new "Extensions" feature, which is just as it sounds, and is not much different than what you're likely...

Last week, Time Magazine posted its annual "Top 10" list for fifty different categories, and for gadgets, the top spot was given to Motorola's Droid phone. This was a fairly big surprise, since Apple's products have dominated top lists for the past few years, especially with the iPhone, but it...

Whew, Borland... does that name ever bring back memories from my C days. I could never understand the real purpose behind it though, so I always just went with either Bloodshed or VC++ for all my coding needs (both had their perks). Yes... it's insane, and it seems to be getting even worse...

A couple of weeks ago, ASUS released its first two under-$200 P55 motherboards that support both S-ATA and USB 3.0. We're taking a look at the higher-end of the two, the P7P55D-E PRO. As you'd expect, this is one packed board, featuring a great design and a number of improvements over the...

Haha, yes, thanks for not writing that in .NET. I should have made a joke earlier about your program hogging our server's bandwidth, but I was a little slow on the draw :D Just installed a fresh copy of XP in my VM and used this to rid the annoying problem, thanks again.

That's because you only have a single account on there, and it's administrator. If you were to add a second account, you'd no longer see that happen. No error message at all. It just closed after I pushed "Enable", like it did in the XP version. I'm sure the tool worked, it's just that Windows...

I tested the tool in XP, and it worked just as expected, but the same can't be said in 7 (which I believe is identical to Vista). Fantastic little tool though.

I didn't clue into that fact that it was your tool. I'll give it a test next time I'm in Windows 7.

The past couple of times I've met with Intel, they were running a neat little widget on their test machines, that showed the processor and level of Turbo being used. It's simple, but cool. The company has just released it (finally) to the public, so if you have a Core i5 or i7 processor, you can...

Ahh, haha. This is one particular thing that has bothered me about Windows forever. Something like this should be simple, but it's not. Even in the latest versions of Windows, there's no auto-logon feature that's easy to access, and going to a search engine and figuring out which program to type...
