At 2.53GHz and $133 USD, the E7200 promises to become the new Dual-Core budget superstar. After taking a hard look at the upcoming offering, we would have to readily agree. Overclocking only sweetens the deal further, with 3.0GHz on stock voltages being more than possible. We have a winner...

Reportedly, the driver of a charter bus carrying a high school girls' softball team decided to casually follow the soothing turn-by-turn directions that were being emitted from the nearby GPS unit rather than actually noticing the enormous clearance sign on the overpass ahead. I hate to say it...

So... who all picked up GT5 Prologue? I downloaded it late last night, but wasn't able to give it a go until this afternoon. I do have to say that the download purchase experience was impressive. Despite being a 1.9GB download, it took no more than 90 minutes to fully download and install, so...

Not long ago, we received word from ASUS that they had managed to incorporate EAX effects into the drivers of their Xonar cards. Soon afterward, Creative told everyone that was false, and that ASUS "EAX" was not true EAX. Who's telling the straight story, and will you even notice a difference...

From our front-page news: I first heard about the magicJack last September at DigitalLife in New York, and was at first skeptical. Well, I was always skeptical, because the product itself didn't seem to make much sense. Just how could a device give you free phone service for such a menial fee...

From our front-page news: I mentioned last month in a news post that my personal decision between two 30-inch behemoths was with Dell's 3008WFP and Gateway's XHD3000, which we reviewed here. Although I appreciated the Dell's higher color gamut and DisplayPort inclusion, I ended up going with...

From our front-page news: From the "Wow, who ever expected this?" files, Wired is reporting on the now obvious fact that Windows XP has a huge fanbase, part in thanks to the rather lackluster reception to Windows Vista. We found out just last month that XP's availability will end this coming...

From our front-page news: This past November, we posted a news item that posed the question, "Are Gaming Magazines Going to Die?", but sadly, that answer has been known for a while. The fact has only been strengthened today, as news comes from the Games For Windows: The Official Magazine, which...

From our front-page news: Rumors have it that the ASUS Eee PC has been doing well sales-wise, so it's only natural for the company to follow-up with the same idea, but packed into a desktop. Although, while the Eee PC is rather lackluster in power, the Essentio CS5110 actually has some power, so...
