    Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200

    To the first unregistered poster: Grats on that superb overclock! It's up to you whether or not you want to keep it there. To see if it's truly stable, run a program like OCCT 3.0's Linpack test for a few hours. If you pass without error, you can pretty much deem it stable. You might also want...

    In-Game Web Browser Comparison

    Welcome to the forums Makikou! That's too bad about the lack of support... don't worry, I'm with you. I play an older MMO and it's not supported either (not too surprised though).

    What's Coming to Windows 7 RC?

    Ahh that's interesting. It doesn't sound much like Windows 7 improves much in way of activation though, which is too bad. After having so many issues with Vista, I was hoping for something better (hell, I'm still wanting a far-improved command-line, but that hasn't happened since Windows 98).

    AMD and Intel's Feud Heating Up

    That's the thing... Intel needs AMD and AMD needs Intel. Why they would start fueding at all is beyond me, especially when one could result in having their license revoked, so to speak.

    5 month Core SSD v1 review

    I believe the "Burst" test in HD Tune is essentially a random test, since the yellow dots are spotted all over the place. I could be wrong though. Another idea would be to use IOmeter... maybe. I could always upload the exact version we'll be using in our upcoming storage reviews along with the...

    Report: Office Depot Lies to Customers to Boost Profit on Notebooks

    odmanager: Thanks so much for such an in-depth look behind the scenes... very informative. Some of what you say still surprises me... that clearance table scam is disgusting. I'd REALLY like to know if Office Depot is really worse than the rest of these brick and mortar stores, and who else...

    2.0/2.1 pc speakers

    Bill: Oh, I agree. 5.1 is great for games and the like. I tend to discredit those half of the time for whatever reason. Probably since I never really game on my main PC, but rather just listen to music. I still would prefer 2.1 for audio, except for concert DVDs and the like as I mentioned. I...

    High end audio from PC sources...

    Hah, those speakers look great, but I can't comment too much on the amps. That TEAC looks fantastic though. Not sure about the Bose speakers. They'd definitely do the job, but the styling doesn't do much for me. I'd probably go with a lesser-known brand whenever I get a well-built setup... I try...

    Apple Releases Third Generation iPod shuffle

    You mean without having an 80's metal hairstyle?!

    Asus Xonar Soundcard Drivers!

    Not sure if that's possible. It might be, but it doesn't seem that reasonable. Sounds more like the client wasn't optimized enough or something, which is too bad given the game is so popular.

    Sharkoon's FireGlider Mouse Targets Serious Gamers

    I agree. As long as it doesn't feel cheap, I think it could be a real winner. $32 for a mouse that looks great and packs a lot of functionality is a huge win.

    T. G. I. S.

    Well, it snowed here earlier a little bit, so I'm not so sure it's spring here. On the other hand, we have far less snow/ice here than we did last month, so we must be on the right track.

    Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

    Hi Xandelric: We have a single i7 platform right now, and it's here with me, not Bill, so sadly, this testing won't happen, at least soon. I'd still expect that the cooler would perform well though, since this did prove to be the best one to hit our QX9650. I don't think we could guarantee a...

    AsylumLAN 33

    Of course, haha. Would be a long trip for you though. I was thinking the same thing. We'll have to check in with the organizers and see. I think it was a sweet idea, and they seemed to pull it off well.

    ASUS' Xonar Essense STX Designed for High-End Headphone Users

    We've had the card for a few months, but due to various circumstances, we haven't been able to get the article posted yet. It shouldn't be too much longer. As for a comparison with another audio card, that's not likely to happen for quite some time, as we'll essentially be lacking an audio...

    Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

    Have a huge chassis? Need a huge CPU cooler? Well, Cooler Master has just what you need, in the form of the TEC-based V10. This thing is massive - its almost three CPU coolers in one - but it cools better than any other air cooler we've used in the past, and it even matches our previous (and...

    AsylumLAN 33

    Ahh, nothing beats a good LAN party. Sitting back, chilling with friends, drinking a lot of Bawls and of course, getting hundreds of frags in... there's nothing quite like it. We made the trip to Evansville, Indiana recently to game it up at AsylumLAN's 33rd event. This is not the first AL we've...

    Fake iTunes Cards Sure to Give Apple a Headache

    Exactly my thoughts, which makes it weird that cards of that denominations exist at all. Pretty hard to fly under the radar there. It could be that the cracker didn't manage to figure out how to generate a code for specific denominations, and when he found one algorithm that worked, it was for...

    What's Coming to Windows 7 RC?

    I receive the activation issue from time to time as well. Just the other night, I updated a BIOS on the test motherboard, and sure enough, it told me to activate on the next boot. Nothing that a quick run of a crack won't fix though. I thoroughly enjoyed the fifteen minutes I saved for not...
