From our front-page news: As I whined about in our news section a few weeks ago, I recently had the main hard drive in my machine die. Yes, the machine that I use day in and day out to get whatever work I need done, done. At the time, I had a dual-boot setup with Linux (using KDE 3.5) and...

One of the best features of Linux is its sheer number of free available applications. But once in a while, certain commercial offerings offer enough features and an ease-of-use that makes it worthy of consideration. Nero Linux is one of those. Now in its third iteration, Nero Linux remains the...

Well, it's been exactly a year since I last posted a picture of my desktop, so I think I'm just about due for a follow-up! Since I ran into a rather major issue a few weeks ago, I was forced to reinstall both of my operating systems (Linux and Windows), and rather than mope about it, I decided...

Haha, to be honest, I'd just get the E5200 and overclock it to 3.0GHz. Ours hit 3.3GHz without a single voltage increase, so no doubt you'd be able to do the same with your nice motherboard: http://techgage.com/article/intel_pentium_dual-core_e5200/11 I should also note that if you are...

I don't see Intel ever slashing their $999 model, and to be honest, I don't see anything wrong with it. Having such a high-end model proves to the world that the company has a truly boast-worthy product. AMD could never (right now) sell a product for that high and see it sell, but Intel can. I...

Do you have many customers that don't clean out their computers, despite having a can of air handy? There's been a few friends I've dealt with who have a nice can of compressed air right in the same room, but an entire year will go by before they think to use it (and that's only because I tell...

Well, that depends. S-ATA 6Gb/s is going to offer more bandwidth as a whole, but mechanical hard drives themselves aren't going to exactly double in speeds. In fact, even current S-ATA 3 mechanical drives barely touch half of what the S-ATA 3 bus offers. Here, it's a hardware limitation, and has...

Ugh, that is absurd man. At that price, it's better to just buy real food with a ton of protein (like fish). I swear, I'll never complain about the prices of anything again. I forget what I pay for whey protein, but I'm quite sure it's about $25 CAN for a 5lbs container. Could be a bit less... I...

What I'd like to know is if Palm knew of how Apple was going to handle this. You'd assume so, because Apple hasn't been too well-receiving of companies using their technologies in the past (and it's hard to blame them). Did Palm go into this knowing that they were going to frustrate Apple, but...

Ugh. That sounds like a stressful way to compute (and perhaps even headache inducing to a small degree). I just clued in, though... I installed that same ASUS 24" monitor for one of my friends not too long ago, and it is rather sturdy. Well, not how I installed it. She lacks room, and has a desk...

Oh, I believe you... I just haven't personally run into the issue. It does surprise me that after having dealt with Vista for so long, I never experienced it once (that I realize), but with Windows 7, I hit the issue the very first day. It IS an annoying issue, though. How hard can it be to...

That's kind of my thinking as well. It's interesting regardless though. I didn't ever notice the difference in these connectors until this post.

This CPU in particular falls into that category, yes. Although we didn't see it too much in our own gaming tests, there have been reports of the removal of the L3 cache affecting gameplay in many other titles. This is certainly not a "gamer's chip", and AMD has no intentions of ever referring to...

Hi Unregistered: From my understanding (and what I remember), overclocking a Turbo-equipped processor automatically disables the additional boost that the first and second core would see from a light workload. Instead, regardless of how hard you are pushing the CPU, cores 1 - 4 would share the...

You have to also appreciate the fact that Stack Cool 3 is a name for something simple. "What? It has no fans? Let's call this 'technology' Stack Cool 3!".

It looks like Wacom has been very busy with product launches since we first posted our review. I can't even find this exact model being sold anymore, so I'm not sure how much luck you'll have in finding it. Looking at the company's website, the Bamboo Fun looks nothing like the model we...

There are two versions of Stack Cool 3. The generic version means that the board features a fanless solution, while "Stack Cool 3+" means that as well, but also that the board includes the 2oz of copper in the PCB.

From our front-page news: One of the biggest tech rumors of 2009 is the one that has NVIDIA pulling out of the chipset market, and it's not one that's going away until it actually happens. The rumor is stronger than ever at this point - so much so, that many don't even consider it a rumor, but...

Yes, those squares don't have to match 100%. As long as it fits, without being forced, you're fine.
