Haha, glad you liked it :-)

The first mid-range offering of NVIDIA's GeForce 200 series is here, in the form of the GTS 250. As a follow-up to the company's 9800 GTX+, we already have a good idea of what to expect. But, various improvements aim to make things interesting, such as a redesigned PCB, smaller form-factor...

From our front-page news:Being a Gunner, it's not often I go out of my way to speak highly of Manchester United, but this story is far too good to ignore. We all know that the iPod and products like it are convenient for various reasons. You can bring music along with you, wherever you go, along...

From our front-page news: Yesterday, Intel made a surprise announcement regarding a "long-term strategic" cooperation with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to help produce Atom processors. Although at this point in time, the announcement is about a memorandum of understanding...

Looking for a well-rounded notebook that won't break the bank? That's a lot easier to pull off today than it was a few years ago, and ASUS proves it with their N50Vn. For its $1,149 asking price, this 15.4" notebook offers a lot for the money, including the ability to not only get your work...

From our front-page news:With the first release candidate for Windows 7 to be released next month (rumor), you might be wondering what kind of changes will be put in place from the beta. Well, you don't have to wonder, as the developer team posted a blog update last Friday that details 36...

From our front-page news: We haven't reported on Amazon's new Kindle 2 yet, but a new story has given me the push needed to talk about it a bit. First and foremost, the Kindle is a great e-Book reader, no question. One cool feature on the "2" though, was "text-to-speech", which does exactly as...

When NVIDIA released their GTX 285 card last month, it became the fastest single-GPU card on the market, and that fact still remains. But with our insatiable appetite for more performance, we can't help but be curious as to how the cards perform when overclocked. So let's check that out, with...

For a longer version of the video: go here. I can also agree on the 40 minutes on the runway. I haven't noticed a huge problem there with me in the past though, and I've had to sit in a fair amount of runways. I find it's worse when you land and have to wait a while, rather than waiting a while...

Whether you are looking to add some eye-candy to your machine, or want full control over your cooling system, adding in a robust fan controller isn't a bad idea. One of the best we've seen to date is NZXT's Sentry LX, which we happen to be taking a look at here. It's well-priced, looks good and...

As mentioned in the article, I wasn't able to go an inch above 333MHz FSB (equals 1200 FSB), so 1333 FSB is just plain impossible. As I mentioned, things could be a tad different depending on the chip, but in my experience, anything above 1200 FSB was utterly unstable. I'd also like to add...

SilverStone sent along this video which showcases how their Zeus 1200W power supplies are built: <object height="505" width="640"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qLNUwcz-Bt4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always"...

Can't embed this video, so you'll just have to take my word for it that this is well-worth the watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoGYx35ypus

To be honest, that just doesn't make sense. You are essentially just saying to set the FSB to 1333 and then adjust it downward... rather than just set it appropriately in the first place. Are you maybe referring to the FSB strap, and not the actual FSB? If so, then I still don't know if that...

You have used your current machine for nine years, and plan to use this one for nine as well? I can't help but upgrade at least once a year. Do you upgrade as you go along, or try to stick to the original configuration as much as possible? Either way, nine years is beyond impressive. As for the...

You are one of the fortunate ones, then. I've had a fair amount of issues with numerous titles. Just the other day, I had Mirror's Edge crash on me, but it remained running in the background. Of course, I noticed that fact after I benchmarked the next game (I love re-benchmarking, whoo!).

From our front-page news: The release date for Microsoft's much-anticipated Windows 7 has been up in the air for a while, and even though no one can assuredly pick a date for release (last-minute delays are all too common), it appears that based on current plans, Microsoft hopes to begin...

There's been a lot of cool pieces of chalk artwork, but I haven't seen any in the past quite this detailed. It's incredible... the amount of planning that must go into these has got to be intense. http://io9.com/5159210/little-towns-consumed-by-lava-flows-and-crumbling-glaciers

We all know that ASUS likes to try new things with their products all of the time, and sometimes, they really do pull off what they're trying to do (Eee PC anyone?). Their latest attempt at uniqueness? Why, it's the "Marine Cool" motherboard... an offering that favors PC stability far more than...

Damn, nice. And to think, I was trying hard to think of something witty to write in the initial post. Edit: Here's a video from a newscast: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/02/25/ovalle.topless.cafe.WGME
