At the current CeBIT conference going on in Hanover, Germany, NVIDIA has unveiled its next-generation ION platform. Though it's been called "ION 2" by the media for the past month or so, the name simply remains "ION". What the revamped graphics processor brings is improved performance...

With AMD's processor line-up as complete as it is, focus has been shifted a bit to the chipset department, and the result is the 890GX. Although it's packed with features, it's surprisingly inexpensive. In addition to introducing the Radeon HD 4290 IGP, it also brings native support for SATA...

With ever more powerful SSDs launching at ever higher prices it is important to not forget about the cost-conscious crowd. Toward that effort Corsair is launching two new series of SSDs to add to their current SSD lineup that mostly features Samsung controllers. You can read the rest of...

Earlier this week, we posted about Valve's brand-new Steam beta, which happens to be quite good. It doesn't add a whole lot in terms of functionality, but it sure looks a heck of a lot prettier (in a good way). But as cool as the latest beta is, it seems there was a secret hidden deep (or...

TSMC might be the world's largest independent semi-conductor company, but the way things are going lately, it's hard to know if that's going to be the case in a few years. In recent months, much has come to light regarding low yields on its 40nm processes, and according to industry-tracking...

About five years ago, the term "1080p" was almost an unknown. Only the highest-end television sets supported it, and virtually no commercial media did. But today, that's completely changed, with even budget TV's and computer monitors offering support for the high resolution. But here's a...

The term "3D" has been used quite a bit over the past couple of months, and as it stands today, there's a fair bit of content available to those with capable hardware. But on the mobile side of things, support is just beginning to creep in. The first available option was from ASUS, with its G51J...

A couple of months ago, I mentioned that in recent years Apple's negative press seemed to be on a rise. As it stands today, I don't think that was an inaccurate statement, as it just keeps coming, and all for good reason. The most recent happening has to do with the removal of about 5,000...

Once again, there seems to be no source linked back to this image. But, I still found it hilarious.

In what might be a record, AMD managed to release both the first and final normal model from its HD 5000-series in a mere five months. The final card is of course the HD 5830, which falls comfortably between the HD 5770 and HD 5850, and has the $240 price tag to prove it. So regardless of your...

Here's another great reason I feel like we should be including some Linux "benchmarks" in our processor reviews. Compiling is one area where threading is loved, and this screenshot proves it: Ironically, I was compiling a newer version of the compiler. I compiled Firefox the other day and the...

Ever since ASUS first released its Xonar line-up of cards, I knew I had to have one. But, being that I use Linux as a primary OS, I knew that the chance of me finding good support was slim. Well, that support may have taken a couple of months in the beginning to come to fruition, but since...

For many first-person shooter fans, Valve is known as a company to deliver some truly incredible titles. These of course include the Half-Life, Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead series. But the way things are going, those who have ever played any of these titles are out-numbered by the sheer...

Are you looking for the most feature-rich P55-based motherboard possible? With its P55A-UD7, Gigabyte looks like its up to the challenge. In addition to the usual slew of features we've come to expect, the UD7 includes a built-in waterblock, a Silent-Pipe add-on, 24 power phases, SATA and USB...

This past December, a report was released that showed both Adobe's software and Mozilla's Firefox to be the buggiest software on the planet, where found vulnerabilities are concerned. There's little reason to look down upon Firefox, though, as it's patched on a regular basis, so it's not as...

As you can see in the screenshot above, YouTube will have an interstitial appear when users on older browser try to watch a video on YouTube. Google says the interstitial will show up indefinitely every two weeks until the user upgrades to the most recent version of their browser. Google deems...

On the desktop side, NVIDIA is heavily relying on its GF100 architecture to help rejuvenate both its desktop division and revenue, but on the mobile side, it's Optimus that looks to give the company a dominant lead in the marketplace. Given the technology, it almost seems like a given that...

I found this kind of interesting: http://gamingbolt.com/2010/02/19/just-cause-2-will-not-support-windows-xp/ It seems that Just Cause 2 won't support Windows XP. Well, not support may be poor wording, because it's not just going to not support it, but it's not going to work at all. It can be...

If there's ever been a huge amount of doubt surrounding an upcoming product, NVIDIA would have to take gold with the help of its Fermi architecture. There's been a couple foiled starts, and reason to believe that GF100 might have some issues that are proving very difficult for the Santa...

You might know Hades as being the God of the Underworld, but after taking a look at this chassis, you might begin to think he was the God of the "Meshworld". Yes, there's a lot of mesh used here, along with stark angles, creative lighting and a smart design that delivers fantastic cooling...
