We at Techgage strive to be quick. Err...

To be honest, I think that upgrade would be WELL worth it... I mean, it's $20. How can you go wrong? That's one the beefs I had with the N10 that I took to CES. It was a solid netbook, but I found the 1GB of RAM to be somewhat lacking (although to be fair, it's really hard for me to tell whether...

To be honest, there is no reason for someone to purchase a $250 graphics card if their resolution is 1680x1050 or lower, unless they are trying to somehow future-proof or if they plan on upgrading their monitor in the near-future. I think back to when we used to review 9600 GT cards... despite...

Well to be fair, you can get 500GB notebook drives for the price of a 1TB desktop drive ($10 more actually). Still, you raise a good point. This NAS might be a little smaller, but what's the real point? It's not so small that it changes anything about where you'd put it, and in the end, it seems...

I don't think a WHS could replace a NAS from a price-point, but I do think you have a few other ways of looking at it. NAS boxes are expensive enough, and by spending a little more, you could easily build a small server that's probably a little more robust than a NAS, sans the software of...

External ODDs are almost a requirement for netbooks, but I'd still find it much more convenient to have one built-in. Transferring files is fine with thumb drives, but to install other types of software or read from backup discs if the external ODD isn't around can be a pain.

Doesn't sound like it is going to work the same for most people... that's too bad. Although I've felt that Windows 7 was a low-priority for driver releases, given it's not due out in final form for a while, I'm starting to think it wouldn't be a bad idea. The Steam survey kind of proves that a...

Ahh, glad they got some of those issues tackled. I'm not that surprised with Windows 7, although it's still quite interesting that more people use it than Windows XP 64-bit. That OS never seemed to take off for some reason. Of course, it could have been the fact that the driver support in the...

Hmm, to be honest, I think that Dell notebook is ugly as sin, but I definitely appreciate the high-definition panel, and the high gamut makes it one heck of a nice notebook for those who care about rich colors (photographers, namely). Glad my 2408WFP is over 100%, I guess I can be happy with...

That's true. Sometimes when I'm in a store and I ask if they'll take a $100, and they say yes, I actually come off surprised. I almost wonder sometimes if they think I'm up to something, hah.

Well, the thing about 40nm is... we won't be seeing high-end cards built on that process for a little while. The launch cards will be the HD 4700 series, specifically the HD 4770. That card is somewhat similar to the HD 4830, but interestingly enough, it will use GDDR5 rather than GDDR3. That's...

Was talking to Nate last night about this... it's a strange issue. Honestly, I never noticed that when we did use that particular game (we don't now thanks to DRM), although I admit I didn't pay that close attention. If I ever get that game working again, I'll have to test this out as well...

I'm thinking along the same lines, and it's too bad. I didn't expect the GTX 275 to come along and obliterate the HD 4890 in pretty-well every test. It's still a terrific card, but pricing will undoubtedly have to be dropped a little bit. Fixed... I never think to include that information. It...

Hah, I've had you on my list for a while then... I had no idea who that was. For those who want to add me, I use the nick Deathspawner for everything... Xbox Live, Steam and PSN.

It's not often we get to take two brand-new GPUs and pit them against each other in one launch article, but that's what we're doing with ATI's HD 4890 and NVIDIA's GTX 275. Both cards are priced at $249, and both also happen to offer great performance and insane overclocking-ability. So coupled...

I hate to report it, but, I haven't been touching too many games lately, and if I do make time to game, it's usually spent in Asheron's Call. I want to make more time for others though, since there are <em>many</em> games out there I've wanted to play through, but haven't. I mean, I still...

You know it. Happened with a recent version of vBulletin. Appears some of the template is broken on our site though...

From our front-page news: Too good to be true" is a term being thrown around quite rampantly regarding the video game service OnLive, which was first unveiled at the Game Developers Conference last week. For the uninitiated, OnLive is to be a service available for both the PC/MAC platforms, and...

From our front-page news: There are few feelings quite like the experience when the time comes to build a new machine. Ahh, the sense of something brand-new, and not to mention the fresh circuit board smell! But while our machines may be faster than ever, and their capabilities mind-blowing, the...

From our front-page news: As we touched on in our news post for OCZ's DIY Neutrino netbook the other day, this is one product-type that has really taken the world by storm. These full-featured computers are small and light, fast enough for most needs, normally include better-than-average...
