    OCZ Gold PC2-8800 vs. OCZ VX2 PC2-8000

    Cross posted at XS I'll make one thing clear before I get into results... the VX2 is obviously more capable of kicking the Gold series butt, however it was handy so I decided to use it.

    How fast can you beat Halo 2? In August of 2005, Cody Miller managed to take on the Flood on Legendary difficulty in 3 1/2 hours ... without dying. It's an amazing feat, so much so that the 2007 Guinness Book of World Record lists Cody's stunt. I'm undecided on whether this makes sense or not...

    Wii to have free online capabilities...

    ... and not the Xbox Live 'free'. The full blown online service will be free, and reminds me of the Dreamcast games where the games were also free to play online. Well, with the exception of PSO. When asked about the online strategy for the Wii, Fils-Aimes replied "It's the same premise. We...

    Killer NIC

    Just finished reading this article over at Legit Reviews... and I have to say this product is freaking hilarious. A NIC... running on Linux will reduce my ping drastically? Maybe so, but for $270US? I'd rather buy a new GPU... or set up SLI. This crap makes the AGEIA card look like a steal...

    Clovertown results (2 x Quad-Core)

    There's been some Clovertown results posted over at XS that are pretty droolworthy. Of course, we can't get our hands on one, but it's still fun to dream. SANDRA really shows off the power that 8 Cores can provide, but single core applications such as Super PI have standard results.
