    IDT Audio issues and Windows XP

    I am not so sure I believe the same thing. I have mentioned in that past in other threads that I have the occasional BSOD with Windows 7 (previously Vista), and I'm starting to believe it's related to the on-board audio on my ASUS P5K Premium. Last night, I was playing CoD: Modern Warfare 2 with...

    Mouse problems

    Of course, but if you plug in another mouse (wired or wireless) and it works fine... Unfortunately, no. I'm not sure if she still owns the mouse, or got rid of it. I just built her a new PC last week and she upgraded everything, including her peripherals, and I believe she gave the mouse with...

    Think your PC is dirty?

    If you happen to be eating, I don't recommend taking a look at these shots right now: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/13/ventblockers/ Some of these are just ridiculous.

    abit AirPace WiFi PCI-E Card

    I know this isn't a great suggestion, but did you try disabling security on the card entirely, to see if the PS3 or laptop could connect then? Maybe it's just an issue with WEP.

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X

    So... I just found out that there <em>is</em> an AMD graphics card overclocking tool that looks to go far beyond what ATI's Catalyst Overdrive will allow. It's called "AMD GPU Clock Tool", and judging by the screenshot, it might just become a standard overclocking tool in our AMD-based graphics...

    AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Quad-Core at $99

    FireWire 800 isn't much faster than USB 2.0, so I wouldn't even consider it. USB 3.0 will be a huge improvement, but the question boils down to whether or not the CF cards themselves are going to take advantage of all that extra bandwidth. Flash chips used for camera cards are not usually that...

    Installing DirectX 11 Under Windows Vista

    From our front-page news:Microsoft has good reason to be pleased with its launch of Windows 7, because for one, it was fairly smooth, unlike Vista's, and two, consumers are actually quite pleased with it. For gamers, a major technology came pre-installed with Windows 7, that of course being...

    Lucid Hydra Performance is Promising

    From our front-page news: If there's one product that both AMD and NVIDIA would share an opinion on, it's Lucid's Hydra. This is a chip that's set out to essentially replace CrossFireX and SLI, if all goes according to plan. Rather than handle multiple GPUs with alternate-frame rendering...

    Microsoft Disconnects 600,000 Xbox Live Gamers

    From our front-page news: When the argument PC gaming's demise arises, one of the most common issues discussed falls back on piracy.

    Processor Shipments Break Record in Q3

    From our front-page news: With a recession, especially like the one we're in now, many people begin to appreciate the value of money a lot more, and tend to cut back on their regular spending. After all, is a new appliance really that important if it means rent will be hard to pay next month...

    OCZ announces partnership with SandForce

    It looks like there's another SSD chipset maker out there in the wild, to add its name to the likes of Indilinx, Samsung, Intel and others. The company is "SandForce", and not too much is known about it yet, but OCZ has already taken a leap of faith and jumped on board to begin producing SSDs...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X

    Those are just the minimum FPS, not the average, so they're not quite as important. The issue is that with games like GTA IV, no two runs are identical. This for the most part is a good thing, because it means the game isn't 100% scripted. It's a bad thing for benchmarking, though, because...

    Call of Pripyat DirectX 11 screenshots

    I have such a love/hate relationship with S.T.A.L.K.E.R., because the entire series is one that I feel like I want to play, but once I get into the game, I lose all interest completely. The first in the series, Shadow of Chernobyl, had me hooked, but towards the end, I was getting bored. Then...

    OpenOffice Mouse Features 18 Buttons & Analog Stick

    From our front-page news: Although I enjoy the odd fast-paced game now and then, whether it be a single-player FPS or an online game, I've never found myself upset at the number of buttons found on my mouse. As long as I have a scroll wheel, back and forward buttons near the thumb-rest and of...
