I used to subscribe to G4 Tech TV, until I couldn't stand how bad it got, but I recently got it back due to a package upgrade and I decided to check it out again. The thing that struck me wasn't so much the programming, because it's alright, but what blows me away is how ridiculous their...

From our front-page news: Yesterday, I posted about OCZ becoming the first memory vendor out the door with a tri-channel kit for Intel's upcoming X58 platform, and it didn't take too long for another to follow. Corsair today announces three new kits also, with two variants each (3GB & 6GB). One...

Need a new mid-range GPU for under $200? NVIDIA's 9800 GTX+ is a good model to keep in mind, and ASUS' Dark Knight card in particular proves to be one well-worth considering. The card offers great gaming performance for the cash, even handling certain games at 2560x1600 with ease, has a...

From our front-page news: Intel unveiled an interesting product last week that I somehow overlooked completely, but it's definitely cool enough to mention now. Solid-State Disks are nothing new and we've talked about them a hundred times in the past, but the company's X-25E Extreme SSD becomes...

From our front-page news: Error screens are a common part of computing, as we've discussed before, but there is one type of "error" that no one ever hopes to get. One so severe, you actually manage to lose your breath at the first sight. I'm of course talking about an error related to data loss...

Intel's P45 chipset proves to be one of the best mainstream offerings ever created, and Gigabyte put it to good use on their EP45-EXTREME. The board offers sweet cooling ability (which the help of a lot of copper), amazing overclocking potential (500MHz stable with a Quad!) and fantastic power...

From our front-page news: It's no secret that I'm "pro-Linux" and that I've been using the OS as my primary for a number of years, but I'm also one of the first to point out a fault if there is one. In this particular case, I find that the default desktops available aren't eye-catching...
