After I posted our review last night for Gigabyte's P55-UD5 motherboard, I got to thinking. Just what is it that our readers look for when deciding on a motherboard? Is it the feature-set? The overclocking-ability? Or does it more often than not, simply come down to the overall price? So I'd...

Well, I won't rule out that there wasn't something something wrong with the unit I was using, but I'm not sure. I waited around for a few minutes to talk to the rep, but someone else wouldn't stop talking, so I just decided to get on with my day. In truth, maybe a fresh reboot on that unit would...

From our front-page news: Mention the words "customer service" to pretty much anyone on the street, and you can be sure that they'll have a story, or horror story, to tell. I haven't personally experienced any real major issue with customer service in the past, but since I did at one point own a...

From our front-page news: When Apple first launched their "App Store", I have to wonder if they expected it to take off so quickly. Sure, the company has sold millions of iPhone's and iPod touch's, but if you recall this past April, the App Store hit a staggering 1,000,000,000 (one billion!)...

From our front-page news:Over the course of the past few months, we've learned pretty much all there is to know about Windows 7 pricing, from upgrade costs to full retail costs to Anytime Upgrade costs. But there was one crucial piece of the puzzle missing: OEM pricing. Thanks to Newegg...

From our front-page news: In our news section a few weeks ago, we talked about ATI's new Eyefinity technology, one that would allow you to play most of your games across multiple monitors with relative ease. This kind of thing has been done before, but the difference here is that it seems to...

Alongside Intel's Lynnfield launch, Gigabyte launched close to ten motherboards, one of which we're taking a look at here. The P55-UD5 is the company's second-highest offering, and it shows, with its huge feature-set, 12-phase power solution, overclocking-ability, robust BIOS, keen design and...

I've heard only good things about the game, so I'm looking forward to trying it out. Not particularly a fan of superhero games or movies, but I'm willing to keep an open mind about it. It seems more "adult" than typical superhero games, so that's a plus. It apparently also makes great use of...

Are you sure that's a real resolution? It would have to be one of the ugliest if so. I got to see some Eyefinity in action the other day using three 24" monitors and Hawx, and it looked quite good. I still don't think it's for me, because I can't stand bezels getting in the way (no matter how...

We might have to take that back, because the company has since changed its stance. In a meeting the other day, they basically told us that in some cases, SLI will prove a bit better than their solution, while in others, theirs will be better. It seems to me that we're not going to see the...

We hope to have a review of this card in the weeks to come. I'm so behind!

Now that IDF is behind me, I'm hoping to know the answer to this soon.

Haha... here I was wondering what the heck a grapheme had to do with circuits :o Here's a Wikipedia article on graphene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene Too busy to read through now, but I will later.

I was wrong about this... I'm not sure what I photographed, but I went back and re-ran the benchmark and got a more sensible goal. I chose the same exact HDD, so I have no idea what was going on there. We have a S-ATA 6 board and drive in the lab, so Bill should have some real performance...

I'd guess that RAID 1+0 is going to be the best for redundancy and performance, but SSDs might change that in the future, if overall density isn't that important. For me personally, I don't run RAID, but still keep things up to date via scripts. I have three copies total of everything important...

Well, this is the retail release I'm using, and the bug remains. It's not a major bug, but it's still a little annoying regardless. It's even more annoying to know that it wasn't caught or fixed during the long beta period. I stumbled on it on two different installs... I'm sure it's rather...

Apple's new data centers could be used for lossless audio, but it seems a little unlikely. Lossless, on average, will take about 4x as much space as what Apple is offering now, so the cost of investment in storage alone would be high. If Apple did take the lossless route, they'd have to likely...

I'd love to give Archos' other products a spin, but I tried the 9 Tablet PC at IDF, and I wasn't too impressed. It's supposed to have something like a $499 price tag, but the thing is... it just wasn't fast, at all. There was a demo video on the unit's desktop that I used, and it skipped the...

I just wanted to chime in here and say I haven't forgotten about this thread, but after reading through, I've decided to just not discuss it further. I can't believe that out of 25 or so replies, only one or two had anything to do with this mouse specifically.

Yup... there's a huge difference between valuable and invaluable.
