To purchase a quality gaming notebook just a few years ago would have set you back at least $2,000. But the situation is far better today, and it's proven with the help of ASUS' G51Vx, coming in at $999. It comes complete with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 260M graphics card, a great feature-set and...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

From our front-page news: We've gone over the importance of keeping your data safe many times over the life of the site, but one method of doing so, RAID, we haven't talked about too much. RAID, in layman's terms, is the process of taking more than one drive and making your data redundant, so...
