From our front-page news:Earlier this week, NVIDIA unveiled their "Fermi" architecture, one that has a massive focus on computational graphics processors. As far as GPGPU (general purpose GPU) is concerned, NVIDIA has been at the forefront of pushing the technology. Others, such as ATI, hasn't...

I'm with 2Tired and Psi*... I'd rather the family make the ultimate decision. I don't care if I have a gravestone or if I'm cremated to be honest. I'll be dead, I'm not going to be too concerned over the decision.

From our front-page news: When Windows 7 launches later this month, the majority of users will adopt Home Premium, thanks in part to its robust feature-set and also its price-point, at $199 for a full retail copy. For some, though, the decision to upgrade to either Professional or Ultimate...

Google has that with their Chrome OS, but I'm not entirely sure if that's going to be considered an "Instant-On". I think they are going more for minimalism, but as a result of that, it will still boot up fast. And no, what you mentioned wouldn't work, because in order to access HyperSpace, you...

First thing I'd like to ask is... what's your budget? Can you afford to upgrade any parts you have listed? If you take gaming seriously, it might not be a bad idea to pick up a better GPU. ATI has some new cards coming out soon that I can't talk about, but it might be worth waiting for... None...

From our front-page news: That's the question I have to ask. I hate to rant in our news section, but sometimes, I can't help it. I've posted in recent weeks about the complications of benchmarking, because as soon as you think something is going well, you might hit a huge roadblock that stops...

Do you happen to have the name of that tool? I swore that I used such a tool in Ubuntu before, but I can't find it anywhere in my 9.04 installation. It is a fresh install, though, and not an upgrade, so it's very possible that if you still have it, then it did indeed carry through the upgrade...

I'd have to agree. As I use it, I find it just as polished as say, Windows 7, yet can't help but think about how this is a free operating system... not a $199 one. The quality is top-rate. Yes... but "Folder View" is a widget ;-) I used that in the past, but it never seemed to keep my icons...

When KDE 4 was first released, I didn't care too much for it, and I thought I never would. But due to recent circumstances, I ended up installing the latest version to see if things changed for the better, and to my surprise, they have. That might be an understatement, because as I see it, KDE...

I gotta get me a microphone like that. I had a USB mic, but it sucked. I'd rather plug one straight into the sound card. I'm with you on the headphones. I've had my PRO 750's for almost two years, and I've put them through some rough times (I can't recall how many times I've dropped them), and...

Why did you buy a laptop with Ubuntu when you had no understanding of it? To be fair, figuring that out isn't as easy as going to a control panel and reading the icons. No one will stumble on typing in "sudo -s" and then "lspci". Either way, I had a look in Ubuntu 9.04, and I can't believe...

From our front-page news:When is the last time you went to Walmart to pick something up? Amazon.com? If you're like me, the latter was the most recent. I admit... I'm just not a fan of Walmart. It's not so much the people who tend to shop there, but the fact that the aisles (at least here) are...

From our front-page news: As last week's Intel Developer Forum, I had the opportunity to chat to Phoenix (the BIOS makers) about both their "Instant-On" technology, and also their quick-boot HyperSpace OS. Since I've had a keen interest in competing technologies for a while, such as DeviceVM's...

From our front-page news: Microsoft's long-awaited security suite is here, and believe it or not, the public response so far has been not just good, but great. For those who might remember "OneCare", Microsoft's Security Essentials fixes what was wrong with that product, tosses in some new...

From our front-page news: When I purchased a notebook from Dell about five years ago, I was quite impressed with what I got. Today, I realize just how ridiculously expensive it was compared to notebooks of now (it felt mid-range, but cost $3,300), but I remember at the time wondering, "What can...

Whoops, no it wasn't... I meant to make mention of that in the article. The cooler used was Thermalright's MUX-120. The stock cooler was just used for stock-clocked testing. http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/cpu/mux-120/product_cpu_cooler_mux-120.html 3.6GHz was stable on the...

Many prefer choose to be buried in a certain graveyard due to religious reasons or location, and some prefer being cremated and having their ashes stored somewhere special, or spread around a location with sentimental value. With the growing number of "geeks" on this earth though, some are...

For the Linux newbie, Ubuntu is the oft recommended distro, for a few different reasons. It's easy to set up, works on a lot of hardware, and doesn't require a manual to understand how to manage it. For the same reason, Ubuntu seems to get a bad rap from more experienced Linux users. Well, I say...

Sapphire is holding a few contests up to the end of October, where you can have a chance at winning an HD 5870 card. The contest is open to US and Canadian residents, and they are giving away over 40, so you shouldn't waste time in signing up. You need to sign up to become a "Sapphire Select...
