    Lexar Announces Crucial Mobile DDR3 Modules

    From our front-page news: DDR3 first launched on the desktop last May, and since then adoption has been slow. It's no surprise, however, due to high cost of ownership, whereas DDR2 is so inexpensive, it can cost a mere $300 to have 8GB of RAM in your rig. So why pay multiple hundreds for DDR3...

    ASUS EN9800GTX 512MB

    It's not too often that the fastest single-GPU available is also affordable, but the 9800 GTX is just that. At just over $300, it delivers incredible performance at all resolutions and also turns out to be amazingly overclockable. It's just too bad that the 8800 GTS 512 is not much slower...

    Logitech diNovo Mini

    Logitech surprised us at CES with the launch of their diNovo Mini media keyboard, which is not much larger than a cell phone. But despite its size, it packs in the functionality, and is even supported by the Playstation 3. Are we impressed? Let's just say that once again, Logitech has pulled it...

    Do you keep your PC overclocked?

    I don't think it's much of a secret... we love to overclock. In fact, the sad fact is that most of us overclock first thing, post-install. We don't care about the performance at stock... we want to see how far we can push the thing and hope we don't break something :-D So the question I have...

    Intel's Latest Tech to Help Decrease Notebook Theft (Hopefully)

    From our front-page news: Notebooks are great for offering computing on the go, but at the same time, the portability can also be a downside. The more the notebook is out of the house, the greater the chance that it could get stolen, even if you only take your eye off of it for a minute. I've...

    Maxtor Shared Storage II 1TB

    EA To Cease Madden 2009 PC Release

    From our front-page news: While not a sign of PC gaming as a whole, the news that EA is pulling Madden 2009 out of the PC is big news regardless. If I had to guess the reason, I would assume it to be that sport games on the PC tend to suck, and from my experience, the graphics, despite being on...

    The D-SLR That Requires a Signed EULA

    From our front-page news: I admit I've had to sign some odd NDA's and EULA's in the past in order to acquire either a piece of hardware or software under embargo, but never, not once, have I been asked to sign a EULA for purchasing a product on a public e-tailer. BoingBoing has posted news about...

    Favorite April Fool's joke?

    I admit it... I dislike April Fool's. I find it tedious to read the news and not know what's real... it's so annoying. Because of this so-called hatred, I didn't find too much that was humorous... except for this...

    ASUS EN8800GTS TOP 512MB

    NVIDIA's 9-series might be brand-new, but the 8-series should not be overlooked. Most 8800 GTS 512 cards cost less than the 9800 GTX, and can be easily overclocked to overpower it. In the case of this pre-overclocked ASUS card, the 9800 GTX doesn't have a fighting chance. You can read the full...
