    Win-7 32bit & 64bit for RAM Problem

    No one said it was a hardware limitation... though it would be if we were using a 32-bit processor and trying to run a 64-bit operating system. Is the purpose of that only to have the application require a single binary file, or is there something else I'm missing?

    Blue tooth in Win7 [Dell Laptop]

    I haven't used Bluetooth enough to be of great help here, but did you look under the Control Panel to see if there are any Bluetooth-related options there? If there is, maybe there's an option within that allows you to enable the systray icon. You might also want to run Windows Update to see if...

    Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse

    I can't see it to be honest... Razer likely wouldn't overlook something like that, given their products are to be used by frantic gamers. I wish I could say the same about the mouse I'm using on this PC... the top is discolored either because of sweat or something from rubbing my fingers on it...

    Razer Megalodons!!

    Has a price even been mentioned? I can't find one listed. Edit: Found it... $149.99. If these sound as good as they look, then that almost seems like a steal.

    A Testing Hypothesis

    Hmm... I'm not sure what you mean by 'offers no solution', as Brett's previous editorial clearly offered one. The goal of an editorial isn't to always offer a solution, because in situations like these, it's not easy to come up with one. Editorials can accomplish other things, like raising...

    The Pop King Passes Away!!

    Yup... when my brother ran into the room and said, "Michael Jackson died!", I was like, "...". At first I didn't even believe him, so I loaded up a news site, and sure enough. What a total and utter shock. He had obvious health issues, but I don't think anyone expected him to actually die that...

    Windows 7 Pricing Announced (Plus a Half-Price Sale!)

    From our front-page news: The moment we've all (okay, not ALL) been waiting for... Windows 7 pricing! Some of it's cool, some of it is ridiculous (I'll get into that in a minute). For full versions (non-upgrades), Home Premium is $199.99 ($40 less than Home Premium for Vista), $299.99 for...

    Core i7 920 Overclock 2.66GHz -> 4.22GHz Stable

    I'm glad to hear that the log can be of some use. If you need me to perform any more robust tests, please let me know. Also, the CPU cooler situation is a bit sad, because as it stands, I'm using a top-of-the-line offering (Ultra 120), so I'm not sure what it's going to take aside from water to...

    A Testing Hypothesis

    Should content posted on a website be decided by its readers, or companies? Rather than have typical advertising sustain a site and support its growth, are there other avenues worth exploring? These are the questions on the table, and Senior Editor Brett Thomas has taken a hard look at both...

    ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell review coming soon...

    Last month, I posted a link to ASUS' clever marketing campaign for the Eee PC Seashell, and I'm pleased to say we'll have a review up for it next week. So far, there are two versions, the 1008HA and 1005HA, but both are similar in overall design. The latter promises incredible battery-life...

    Win-7 32bit & 64bit for RAM Problem

    Welcome to the forums mwvirk! Because of limitations with a 32-bit architecture, only 4GB total can be used across the entire system, which would include a combination of the system and graphics card memory. The 64-bit architecture removes that limit almost entirely. If your PC supported it...

    Show off your desktop!

    Hmm, someone does have an infatuation with dragons! It's fine though, because dragon's kick-ass. Kougar: I agree on the wallpaper there... incredible color. It's pictures like that, that make me give up on photography ;-) Altrus: You are playing Aion?! I'm so psyched for that one... how is it?

    Razer Megalodons!!

    I'm also curious as to how this virtual surround sound is created... because if it's virtual, then the headphones themselves would still be stereo. I'm not going to discredit anything yet... and these do look good and have some sweet features, but I'm looking forward to seeing some professional...

    ASRock Also Going the 2oz Copper Route?

    I don't think I gave the pro-software thing I said much thought, because since I run Linux, it rarely matters anyway. For some reason I was thinking of notebook software when I said that. I agree though... it's rare for motherboard software to be worth anything, especially from ASUS (they go...

    GOG.com - Breathing New Life into Old Games

    LongTailGamer: Great to hear I'm not the only one who loves the service. I just can't wait until the selection grows... there are SO many classics I'd purchase without a second thought. Also, nice blog! Doomsday: Oh, I know... it's easy to get excited when thinking about older games ;-)

    Conan O'Brien Visits the Intel HQ

    From our front-page news: When I received a press release from Intel titled, "Intel Teams Up Again with Conan O'Brien", I had to check it out right away. In just what way could Intel have anything to do with the new Tonight Show host? Well, the company is sponsoring the show throughout the...

    ASRock Also Going the 2oz Copper Route?

    That's still the enthusiast market, though, and for the most part, that's about what... 1% of total motherboard sales? I admit, I truly don't seem to care much about those added features, but I'm glad they're there. I tend to care a little more about the extras included, or how well the included...

    OCZ Launches Sabre OLED Gaming Keyboard

    Hmm, I'm not really sure what you mean by your back-lighting comment. The actual symbol on each key should be lit up, as far as I'm aware, making it easy to see in the dark. I believe we'll be receiving one of these within a few weeks though, so whatever you want me to look for, just ask.

    Antec 1000W Quattro... dead.

    Kougar: That might be true, but the PSU rubbed me the wrong way since the very beginning, and as petty as it is, I'm just glad to see it gone. It was a last-minute purchase because I -needed- a high-power PSU available to handle SLI on Skulltrail, and then I got it home to find out that it was...
