From our front-page news:As I've mentioned in previous SSD-related news posts, as the months pass, drives become larger and much faster, and that still holds as true right now as it did a year ago. Heck, even the past few months. Recall when Intel released their ultra-fast 80GB X25-M. At $600...

Think that "surround sound" in a gaming headset is laughable? Psyko Audio Labs doesn't think it has to be, and they're here to prove it with their upcoming 5.1 offering. We sat down with "Head Psyko" James Hildebrandt to learn a lot more about his unique product, and to find out what makes it so...

It looks like SteelSeries just got a nice boost in the US market. They've just announced that they will now deliver products to over 5,000 storefronts in the US, including their latest partner, Best Buy. I gotta say, this is pretty cool. I haven't used too many SteelSeries products in the past...

From our front-page news: If you are at all a multi-tasker, chances are good that you've found yourself in a situation where the application you want to work better than the rest is severely lagging, disallowing you to get what you need done taken care of in a timely fashion. This can even...

From our front-page news: Back in December, we posted about Nintendo's impressive showing this past November. Despite the fact that the economy has been in better shape, both Nintendo and companies like Apple continue to thrive, and it looks like that's not going to change for a while. According...

I know things like this have existed before, but this new model seems quite interesting. It's simple in design... it plugs into the wall like a normal socket, but from there, you are able to charge up to five different USB devices, including one with a mini-USB port, like a cell phone for small...

I should add a few more thoughts to this. I'm not totally against creating a commercial Linux distro if it has a reason to be commercial. iMagic OS is nothing more than Ubuntu highly customized, and where it's concerned, many other people are already doing that, and for free. $80 is truly...

From our front-page news:The term "commercial Linux distribution" might sound a little odd at first, given that Linux is well-known for being a completely free operating system, but I do feel that in some cases, a commercial offering can be a good thing. In fact, it was a commercial distribution...

Haha! I laughed out loud at that post BlindMonk. Smart ass.

I agree, but the sad reality is that these things can take FOREVER, which truly sucks. The technology as it stands is so good, and it's "almost" perfect, but this spec is sure to keep us back a little bit. Yeah, usage patterns come into play here, and chances are many people wouldn't notice a...

Hah, yes, that link might contain enough information to get by as well. Good catch.

BlindMonk: Virtualization would have a lot more to do with the software chosen rather than the distro. Some distros might offer easier methods for installing either VMware or VirtualBox, though. VMware on this Gentoo box, for example, was a true pain, but luckily, it was available in the...

From our front-page news: Microsoft last week announced plans to take a route made successful by Apple and open up their own chain of retail stores. From what I understand, locations haven't yet been announced, but you could expect that initial stores will be placed in the same cities where...

I have doubts that you'll be able to get ahold of this, given that Evercool doesn't even list it on their website. I have my doubts that we'd still have our old sample still kicking around as well. What problem have you run into? Maybe we can help you get it installed without needing the manual.

With such a large choice of PC cases available for purchase, finding one that perfectly suits your tastes can be difficult. Antec is one company that doesn't mind taking a chance with products, and the Skeleton is the result of that. This open-air chassis is one of the most unique on the market...

I'm serious when I say game developers should take a hard look at this list. I think the issue is that devs tend to believe that their first-person shooter needs the same elements as found in every other offering out there, but that's not true. I think if a developer were to push out a game that...

Welcome to the forums timjwild! I'm curious, that PC in question, did it literally die (as in, it will no longer function as a computer), or was it merely an OS issue? If the latter, then I think the best solution would be to dual-boot the rig, with two different installs of XP or Vista, and...

I couldn't agree more. Now only if they could create an OS that would never experience an issue, then we'd really be set!

I'm not sure if it's Intel-specific, but I did find out a solution. I'm not sure if this is typical of many AMD motherboards, but the Gigabyte board I'm using for testing uses a 1100 (DIMMs in slots 1 & 2) dual-channel configuration, rather than 0101 (DIMMs in slots 2 & 4), like every single...

I'm wondering if it's because not many editors have actually used an SSD as their main system drive? For example, I have two SSDs here, but have never experienced the issue, but it's because I don't use it as a main system drive. I format the drive, restore a Ghost image and go from there. The...
