    Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition

    Well, for the most part, the most important settings in a game include texture details, anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. The first thing you want to do when loading up a game is to change the resolution to the maximum that your monitor will support. From there, crank all of the settings...

    Gateway T-6836 14.1" Notebook

    That's the big problem with notebooks, and one I experience with almost any notebook. Gaming on a desktop spoils things for you when you go on the notebook and can't crank the settings, haha. Glad you enjoy the notebook though!

    Are Macs Really More Expensive than PCs?

    From our front-page news: The Mac vs. PC debate has been going on for about as long as... well, as long as both platforms have been available. For the most part though, it's usually the users of each platform that are involved in the debate, but in recent years, it's been the companies...

    Logitech Squeezebox Boom

    While there's more competition than ever in the network music player space, Logitech's Squeezebox division continues to push out products that are both feature-rich and also excel in what they do... not to mention look good. The Boom is the latest product off the line, and as we had hoped, it...

    iTunes to Begin Variable Pricing on April 7

    From our front-page news: Earlier this year, Apple announced that iTunes would soon become 100% DRM-free, which was great news for many, myself included. As I mentioned around the same time, I had no prior interest in using iTunes for the DRM reason, and well, if it wasn't DRM, it would have...

    Seagate Unveils BlackArmor 440 - Great Design, Huge Storage

    From our front-page news: If there's one technology that's become huge over the past few years that I've been most pleased with, it would have to be network-attached storage. The concept is simple... have a dedicated box on the network that you can copy files to and share between computers. It's...

    NVIDIA Announces APEX, PhysX Made Easy for Developers

    From our front-page news: At a press briefing earlier today, NVIDIA took the time to give us all an update on what's been happening with PhysX, and also introduced a new tool for game developers called APEX. It seems like everyone wants to release game-optimizers lately (Intel and AMD announced...

    ATI HD 4870 1GB vs. NVIDIA GTX 260/216 896MB

    I looked through, and the results are quite similar to ours from months ago (between these two cards in particular). The games that ATI shows strength there, are the same ones that they showed strength with in our tests. Note that I'm paying most attention to the main charts at the top of...

    Ahh right... "wireless", I guess that is kind of important. So it's not a webcam per se then... but a security cam.

    Intel to Drop Prices in April, Introduce New i7 Models in May

    I am not sure that his usage of "replaced" should be taken literally... he might just mean replace those CPU's positions in Intel's line-up. It just seems a little odd for Intel to come out with faster processors and then sell them at the exact same price as what was there before. It's not like...

    Cosmos air flow

    I can't quite picture the problem, but this is one huge downfall of some dual-GPU cards. ATI cards tend to run hotter than NVIDIA, but for whatever reason, they also manage to handle that heat better. I'm not sure what to recommend though... liquid might be the best way to overcome whatever it...

    MotionDSP Releases vReveal - CUDA-Based Video Enhancer

    From our front-page news: It's no secret that NVIDIA is trying hard to push their CUDA technology, but while it might be the next-best-thing where computing is concerned, there hasn't been much reason for people to be excited. The past year has been quite good to the company though, with many...

    ATI HD 4870 1GB vs. NVIDIA GTX 260/216 896MB

    You're right. That was due to time-constraints, and that's why I followed-up a week or two later with another article that added more games to the mix: http://techgage.com/article/ati_hd_4870_1gb_vs_nvidia_gtx_260216_896mb_follow-up/

    EVGA X58 SLI

    EVGA's X58 SLI isn't a new offering, but it's still quite relevent. So, we're taking a fresh look at the board to see where it stands in today's competition. While its overclocking-ability may not be overly impressive, EVGA makes it apparent that they don't cut corners and deliver a board that's...

    Morpse: Thanks for the post and the images! Those images leave a bit to be desired, but they still have a certain cool-factor to them. I mean, you were flying around a room snapping photos with a webcam! Was it mentioned what kind of webcam it was? I know Logitech has some more expensive models...

    The "Monster HDMI Difference" scam still alive and strong

    Alright, things might be different on HDTV's then. I don't have a good HDTV, but I have a decent computer monitor which accepts both. I can say that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 look better with HDMI, but that might have to do more with the monitor itself.

    Class Action Against Best Buy's Price-Matching Policy

    It's the exact same thing with Future Shop in Canada. Is it a suprise that Best Buy owns them?

    CoolIT secures $6.2 million in financing

    It looks as though CoolIT has secured themselves a nice sum of financing, $6.2 million. This cash will be used to help accelerate product development, of which I'm sure the company has many projects on the go (they always do). Hopefully we'll be seeing some cool stuff down the road from them...
