From our front-page news: Luxury means a lot of things to a lot of people. Fast cars, huge houses, sparkly jewels, complex timepieces, and so forth. With the growing trend of technology falling into the hands of those who never once cared about it, companies are pushing products in such a way...

To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't used other coolers on the AMD, but I'm doubtful the V1 from Thermaltake is much of a slouch. The general room temperature I deal with isn't ideal, but I've had no problem before getting Intel processors to 4GHz and beyond, so I'm not sure what's up. I...

AdBlock Plus has nothing to do with keeping you safe while browsing. If ads pose that much of a security risk, you really need to re-evaluate which sites you visit.

For each component that can go into a PC, there are usually countless models to choose from, and the CPU scheme of things is no different. For those looking to spend around $250, the options are AMD's Phenom II X4 955 and Intel's Core 2 Quad Q9550. AMD is confident that their product delivers a...

Thanks for the input, Bob! I agree on all of your points as well... I like the bulk-factor of the classic, because it's nice to know that the player I'm holding requires more than two fingers to snap in half. Plus, it's just comfortable to hold, and fits nice into a pocket. I'm still debating...

Well, I've been using the notebook for the past four hours, so I've got a fairly good grasp on things so far. I edited all the charts I needed to for one article, and wow... I can't explain how tedious that is! Most of our charts are taller than the monitor, so creating them takes twice as much...

I'd assume so, since all other MP3 players w/tuners I've used have allowed it. I don't think it would change just because it's HD. At least I'm hoping not.

From our front-page news:If you dig video game history, then one article you must check out is one posted at Gamasutra just the other day. It features a huge interview with legend Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic. If you grew up with a PC in the late 80's / early 90's, it's likely that you've played...

Geez. The pain isn't supposed to be that real.

From our front-page news:The Internet is a wonderful place, but if we're not careful, and slip up even once, then bad things can happen. As tech geeks though, we're pretty much well-protected simply by executing common-sense (which is unlikely to be common-sense for normal users). But, even if...

Am I the only one who thinks this thing has a killer design? If I wasn't so attuned to having huge storage, I'd have to consider one of these puppies.

Oh, I should add... Editing and creating some 21 charts for our reviews between Excel and Photoshop on a single-core non-multi-threaded processor without a mouse is... fun. Oh, times two.

From our front-page news: After months and months, and months, of speculation, Microsoft has finally unveiled their Zune HD... a model unlike any other Zune before it. Similar to the iPod touch, the Zune HD has a large 3.3-inch 480x272 touchscreen (OLED), a built-in HD Radio receiver (nice!) and...

From our front-page news:When we hit up CES 2009 this past January, there were few notebooks that really caught my eye. There was one, however, that really left an impression, and that's the dv2 from HP. In fact, it impressed us so much, that we awarded it one of our Best of CES 2009 awards...

When building a PC on a budget, one of the most difficult components to pick out is the chassis. For many, $100 is the sweet-spot, as it usually gives a solid design and great aesthetics. With the help of the Beta, though, NZXT helps prove that even $50 chassis' can handle the task at hand just...

Sending you a PM.

I have to give kudos to Zotac for that, too. Those boards are amazing... tons of features for such little space. No one else seems to be doing it... yet Zotac, a company who's not known for motherboards, is. Whoa, now that's dedication! I'm not sure I want to go that far. I think I'd be...

The iPod isn't an unknown product, but I happen to be a new owner of the 120GB classic, so I thought it'd be a good idea to take a look at things from a fresh perspective, since I've spent next-to-no time ever with an iPod before. The classic lacks a few features of other iPod models, but if...

It's unbelievable that things are <em>that</em> tight on such a huge motherboard. With those two massive coolers and dual GPUs, there's a severe lack of room for airflow... so it's no wonder thing things might still overheat. An occasional BSOD is still far too many... hopefully you can figure...

Can that even be done with a firmware update? It sounds like something more on a hardware-level that couldn't be accomplished with something so simple. Another limitation might be the graphics drivers from ATI or NVIDIA. The latter is the only company to currently support 3D on even one monitor...
