    ASUS Launches G51J 3D Notebook, Featuring NVIDIA's 3D Vision

    From our front-page news: Think that NVIDIA's 3D Vision is nothing more than a fad? According to a press conference held earlier this week by the company, that couldn't be further from the truth, and it has a good handful of reasons to back up its claims. Unfortunately, a lot of what was...

    AMD Posts Final 40th Anniversary Contest, NVIDIA Holding Charity Auction

    From our front-page news: Both AMD and NVIDIA shot over some information regarding events that each is holding, one being a contest, the other being an auction. Both are equally as interesting, though. On the AMD front, the company is wrapping up its 40th anniversary celebrations by offering up...

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    I should reiterate what I meant. You posted an image with no explanation at all, so from my perspective, it was hard to understand exactly what I was looking at. I guess I should have read the rest of the thread first, but that ad frustrated me, haha. Glad you are liking the chassis, though. And...

    Intel Divulges Information on TRIM for Linux

    From our front-page news: This past Monday, I made a news post that explained my upcoming plans to install an SSD in my personal PC, to help get a better understanding of the real-world benefits of using one on a day-to-day basis. Simply put, I'm tired of boasting about how great the SSD...

    NVIDIA Teases with Photo of GF100 Running DirectX 11

    From our front-page news: Hot on the heels of ATI's launch of the dual-GPU Radeon HD 5970, an NVIDIA employee posted a fun little image on his Facebook that shows off a GF100 card, also known as the first card to use the company's Fermi core. That's not what's important. What is, is that the...

    On the lookout for a P55 motherboard to match that shiny new Lynnfield CPU? Given the sheer selection available, deciding on one can be a hassle. ASUS' P7P55D Pro looks to appeal to a large crowd, though, by offering a slew of useful options, impressive overclocking abilities and a great design...

    Of course I don't mind, but a little back-story wouldn't have hurt ;-)

    Modern Warfare 2 Filled with Controversy

    Looking at game completion from the Act standpoint is a little misleading, because while Act I has 5 missions or so, Act II has 7 I believe, and Act III has 8. So, all of Act III takes almost as much time as it does to go through Act I and Act II, <em>almost</em>. As for Special Ops, it's...

    Need advice on choosing a PCI soundcard

    I will do that when I need the information. I won't need MIDI for a while, so it's not a major concern at the moment. Exactly what it's built for, intricate control over the music. Adjusting knobs, faders, tempo and whatever else in software is just clunky, and very tedious. Having real...

    Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower

    ... I wish people would stop using ImageShack and use another service. The ads there used to be bad, but after clicking that image, I got a full-screen pop-up that couldn't be closed. Rather a pop-up dialog came up, and at that point, the entire browser froze when I tried to rid it, and ended...

    LAN centers and the future

    Good to hear that the LAN is going well after all that time. I can't say I envy you, because I know just how much work it takes to make a LAN center succeed (and that's even without profit). I wish there were more LANs around here where I live, but there are none. I never want to see LAN dwindle...

    Epic Releases Unreal Development Kit

    You sound ambitious, which is great. Can one man create a great game? Of course, but as far as I'm concerned, not one that's built with the Unreal Engine. The engine is designed for huge focus on graphics, audio, and other complex features, and one man just can't handle all this. It depends on...

    Setting Up Wireless in Ubuntu is Hit or Miss

    If there was no wireless icon up top, then I'd have to assume that A) the older version of Ubuntu wasn't quite like this or B) there was no network device working at all. As you can see in the shot above, the drop-down from that icon counts for both wired and wireless, so as long as there's a...

    Dell Releases World's Thinnest Notebook, Adamo XPS

    I can understand it if the laptop weighs a ton. I've also seen heavy-duty laptops with handles, but those are for use in different scenarios, like working in the back shop of a distributor of some sort. I know it's clunkier, but I'd quicker opt for a bag that fits just the laptop. That would...

    Need advice on choosing a PCI soundcard

    I'll admit, I have no idea the purpose behind the ports on that thing. It's a controller, so I'm not sure what I'd plug in there. It's USB-based, yes, but so is a keyboard or mouse. It's just a controller that interfaces with Ableton. So after plugging in, I could use it for precise control (I'm...

    IDT Audio issues and Windows XP

    No offense, but even the toughest critics out there have praised Windows 7, and I've never even heard of "Which". You might want to check out other opinions rather than stand firm because of what a single source said. I have heard that same thing so many times in the past about the Xonar. Good...

    Think your PC is dirty?

    I agree. I thought I saw it all when it came to dirty chassis', but I was wrong when I looked at this list.
