Of course, and that makes all the sense in the world. But Pat targets gamers, who don't tend to have important workloads. I have to admit that I was confused by your original wording. You kept mentioning Intel but it almost sounded like you meant to say AMD. I have a clue now. I tend to...

I also like the Scotchbrite idea, but aren't those a little dense? Most air filters I've seen on PCs have been half as dense as those, to allow air to pass through. Scotchbrite's look a little solid, so I'm not sure if it would hurt the airflow or not. Either way, I love solutions like these...

That's true, but wouldn't latencies naturally decrease when bringing multi-tasking into things? Of course, it would assume that twice the amount of data could be grabbed at once, but I think it could be assumed that latencies would be a little but lower on a RAID 0 setup. If I'm wrong, then so...

I think your last point there sums it up nicely, because that's the case for most things. If there's one muscle-builder I think does work, it could be whey powder, since it's packed with protein. There are other methods of getting all that protein, but who wants to eat cans of tuna every...

It's hard to state that when the Nintendo DS and Wii both share the same problem of lackluster graphics, yet both outsold the competition by a rather large margin. I tend to agree at the same time, though, because the fact is, a lot of people didn't purchase the DS or Wii because of the...

That's what I was thinking, and if that's the case, then that sounds illegal in itself. If companies like DRS have absolutely no legal bearing on anything, then how on earth is it possible that they can just pay for home addresses? If they can, then nothing would stop the regular Joe from doing...

Since my place has a lack of room, the option to get a decent set of speakers doesn't exist. So for the main PC, I have cheap Logitech X-240's (which actually don't sound too bad). The vast majority of the time, I'd say around 95%, I use my high-end Ultrasone headphones, along with an ASUS Xonar...

Given the value of PC components today, I'd have a really hard time even contemplating building a system based around Socket A. As you mentioned, AMD has a nice budget quad-core, and quality motherboards can be had for around the same, or even a bit less. That's a fantastic base to a great...

I don't believe the 650 USB combo includes a remote control, but I could be wrong. http://www.amd.com/us/products/pctv/tv-wonder-tuners/Pages/tv-wonder-product-matrix.aspx According to that product matrix, Windows Media Center is indeed supported, and something tells me that the remote...

I recommend you take a look at the page I wrote on Turbo in our Lynnfield article, as it might clear up a little more on the tech: http://techgage.com/article/intel_core_i7-870_i5-750_-_nehalem_for_the_mainstream/3 You might also want to play around with TMonitor to experiment...

I disagree to some extent. The HD 5770 is indeed slower than an HD 4870 (it's not due to a lower number of stream processors, because that's not the case), but as the HD 5770 is fast to begin with, AMD opted to include other unique features that gamers would appreciate, such as Eyefinity...

Without understanding the specifics of each model, I can't confidentally recommend one over another. The "Upgraded" version would be the Bamboo Fun Medium, although the regular Bamboo might suit you fine. Its main caveat looks to be its smaller size, but that might not matter to you. If you take...

From out front-page news: As anyone who regularly watches The Tonight Show has probably already realized, Intel is a rather significant sponsor this season, and as part of the company's benefits, Conan features interviews with Intel's staff, and in the past, tours of the company's headquarters...

From our front-page news: There have been a lot of doubters around NVIDIA's Tegra architecture, and some of it might be for good reason. Last summer when the technology was first exposed, we were promised some huge things, and no current or upcoming Tegra device looks to live up to that initial...

From our front-page news: When Apple's "Snow Leopard" operating system hit the market in late August, it promised some big things, despite offering such a small feature-set. The goal wasn't to bombard consumers with new features, but rather deliver a much faster OS experience, and that was...

From our front-page news:For as long as it's been possible to write a graphics driver in such a way that it can inflate the results of popular benchmarking applications, it's been done. NVIDIA is one company that's been accused of it many times in the past, most recently when it changed its...

What's the reason behind that? Every time I see "Except Quebec", I cringe. I assume it's for a stupid reason.

AMD may have released its first Evergreen GPUs mere weeks ago, but don't think it's slowing down for anybody. Today, the company has followed-up with its first mid-range parts, belonging to the HD 5700 series. Performance is much more modest on these new cards, but no features have been...

From our front-page news: Regardless of your whether or not you've ever pirated something yourself, or do so on a regular basis, very few people will shun the fact that it's a real problem and has been for a while. It's so large a problem, in fact, that organizations such as the RIAA, MPAA and...

From our front-page news:Intel has sent us details of a new contest it's holding, and modders, this one's for you! When: Oct. 5 through Dec. 14, 2009 Where: Intel Core i7 Custom Desktop Challenge Contest: www.intelcorechallenge.com What: Intel Corporation has begun a multi-country "Intel...
