From our front-page news:So, your playing your favorite FPS or MMORPG, and then it hits you, "Dude! I need to check my e-mail!". Since you're in a safe spot in the game, you decide it's a good idea to pull off the ole Alt+Tab trick, check the e-mail, then bring the game back to focus. If it...

From our front-page news: The progress of technology is a fantastic thing, and I don't think many will disagree to that (well, unless you happen to have a forced RFID chip implanted somewhere on your body), but to me, one of the best innovations has been wireless technology. Everything from...

From our front-page news: It's been a little while since we last heard from the folks at Lucid, but it appears that things are still going well and it shouldn't be too long before we see real product on the market. For those unaware, Lucid first announced product last fall during the Intel...

You are not wrong there... I might have to do that. Even if it's mainly a copy/paste of their release notes, at least it's imformative. I really want to get a download section going sometime though... something like this would tie in perfectly to it. So much to think about though before we go...

Phenom II may have just launched last month, but AMD didn't want to waste time in following-up with their first AM3-based processors. We're taking a look at two, including the X4 810 and X3 720 'Black Edition'. Both offer great performance at their respective price-points, but the X3 became the...

Whoops. Thanks for the clarification... I meant DDR2.

Not sure how I'll begin doing this, but I'd like to start making a post each time a new set of WHQL drivers are made available from either ATI or NVIDIA, since they can sometimes come without a warning and go unnoticed. Perhaps in the future we can add this information to our site, and then even...

I'm not sure if I'm alone in this thinking or not, but Saturday Night Live lost its lustre for a little while, but the past few years have been good to the show. Just take Lazy Sunday and Dick In the Box for example. Here's another good one with Justin Timberlake though, where he storms onto...

Well, it depends. If you want to take Linux seriously, and really use it, virtualization might not be the route to take. After all, the OS isn't going to be quite as fast under virtualization, and the hardware support isn't as fantastic either. You could certainly give it a shot, but if you want...

For P45, board vendors had a choice between DDR2 and DDR3... for this particular board, Gigabyte chose DDR3. If you really want the latter, they offer other boards with that support. You can't release a decent board with both, because the DIMM slots are different. You can't plug DDR3 into a DDR2...

What he said. Can't say much more than that, really.

I agree. I like the fact that OCZ isn't half-assing their SSDs like most companies out there. They are actually putting in the R&D to find out how to make them even faster, and that's proven when seeing stats like 240MB/s Write speed. We gotta get our act together and get some of these in.

Well, chances are you wouldn't notice a difference, but it's hard to say. With my headphones for example, I used to be content with generic models found on NewEgg or whatever, and I was worried that when moving up, I wouldn't notice a difference. Well, I was wrong... I heard a huge difference...

Yeah, his is coming along great as well, from what I've seen of it. It would be nice to have both the room and cash for a "proper" home cinema setup... some examples here are amazing. You might run into a problem where buddies want to come over all the time, though, hah.

From our front-page news: Over the course of the past month, I've kind of jumped on the digital music bandwagon, which for the most part, exclusively includes iTunes (since the Zune Marketplace is not available in Canada for whatever reason). As I've mentioned in the past multiple times, I love...

Well, like most things, quality costs money. Most "surround sound" headphones out there cost around $100 - $150, and neither deliver sound like these (I haven't tested them, so I'm basing my thoughts on what others have told me). If you truly care about audio quality, then paying extra for it is...

Time to suck it up and learn more about the computer, then! It depeneds on what you want to do though. If all you want to do is surf the web, then there's nothing wrong with that. You might want to look into using it for other things though, like gaming perhaps.

My general rule lately is... don't spend money if you don't need to. Unless you have an appropriate setup (I'm not familiar with those speakers, so I can't comment on them), the card might make no real difference to you. If you could get the card for a decent price, and you game a lot...

From our front-page news:In our previous posting, we talked about Thermaltake's new "luxury" offerings, but I'm willing to bet that despite its luxury tag, the products could still be purchased by anyone who has a keen desire to own one. Luxury to me, is a status that should be awarded to...

From our front-page news: If you've ever built your own computer before, chances are good that you've either considered, or purchased, Thermaltake parts. We've also taken a look at quite a few of their products over the course of the few years we've been online, including their Spedo Advance...
