From our front-page news: When Toshiba's HD DVD died out last year, Sony couldn't have been happier. Blu-ray won the somewhat lengthy battle, and humorously, it all came down to marketing, and deals made by Sony to the most dominant movie companies. It was a sad end for Toshiba, especially since...

In preparation for Intel's upcoming Lynnfield processors, we took a look at Gigabyte's P55-UD5 last week, and this week, ASUS' P7P55D Pro is on our workbench for a quick once-over. Equipped with lots of functionality, an easy-to-stomach price and a great color scheme, this board should prove to...

From our front-page news: Did you read our news post earlier this week regarding AMD's new 40W Opteron 2419 EE and wonder to yourself, "Cool, but where in the heck are the desktop variants?" Well, not surprisingly, there is no definitive answer, which is typical of almost any hardware launch...

From our front-page news: The great thing about computing is that the state of things is constantly improving, and fast. Just take a look at what PCs were being sold five years ago compared to today. Or ten years ago. Today's processors are exponentially faster than previous generations, as are...

From our front-page news: This past June, we took a look at a rather unique game delivery service called "Good Old Games", or GOG.com for short. This service, as we saw in the article, offers not brand-new games, but rather old, older and very, very old classic PC games. Since I became a member...

NZXT's previous Sentry fan controllers impressed us in our evaluations, but we wanted a bit more. To the rescue is the Sentry 2, the latest fan controller from the company that has completely floored us. At $35, it's affordable. Add to that the touch-screen capability, support for 5 10W fans and...

From our front-page news:Do you think that benchmarking the latest hardware and writing about it is some sort of paradise? I admit, what I do for a living is fun, or else I wouldn't be doing it. But, there are occasions when things don't work out as planned, and the frustration levels go...

From our front-page news: When Apple's Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" came out last weekend, many ran to their local Apple reseller to pick up their $29 copy. Upgrading to a new OS is always a fun occasion, usually. You get the latest features of the OS, refinements and of course, security patches -...

With Intel's Lynnfield processors right around the corner, what better time could there be for AMD to release another speed-bumped Phenom II X4 to help remain competitive? The Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition rolls in at ~$240, and it competes very nicely with Intel's closest competitor, and in...

Ahh, this is kind of depressing. I'm sure Canada isn't too far behind, but the USA ranks 28th in the world for overall Internet speeds, which honestly, is ridiculous. The USA is a nation rich with technology, yet the country lags seriously behind in overall Internet speed. It's an embarrassment...

I noticed an article the other day at USA Today that reported on a study saying that 60% of adults can't drink milk. I admit, that floored me, because while I knew that many were lactose intolerant, I never would have imagined that the number would be so staggeringly high. It's humorous, but the...

From our front-page news:Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" was released last weekend to a lot of mixed reaction. While the $29 price tag is undoubtedly easy to stomach compared to the $100+ consumers usually pay for a new OS, many still don't believe that they got their money's worth. Our...

From our front-page news: Last month, we posted about Microsoft's Anytime Upgrade and Family Pack pricing for Windows 7, and it looks like the latter is kicking off right now, in pre-order form.
