From our front-page news: When we posted about Core i7 preview back in November, one complaint we had with regards to Intel's own DX58SO motherboard was the lack of NVIDIA SLI support. The reasons behind this were laid out in an article we posted a few months prior to that, stating that NVIDIA...

Hah, after reading the title to this article, I just had to take a look. If you are not a huge soda buff (like me), there are countless flavors that might pass you by. Taking a look at this list, I couldn't BELIEVE how many different variants of Coca Cola and Pepsi there's been over the years...

I agree... waiting until 2010 is a little harsh, haha. We've been spoiled with rather regular enthusiast releases (QX6850 in late 2006, QX9650 in late 2007, i7-965 in late 2008). Oh well, it might be worth the wait, and for what it's worth, i7 as it stands today are still great CPUs. I'm still...

Given that the example on their site shows a limit of around 1.188v, 1.288v doesn't sound too bad. I'll have to give this tool a go when I toss their GTX 285 in the test rig for benchmarking. I'm mostly interested about the heat factor, but given NVIDIA cards tend to run much cooler than AMD's...

Spenstar, welcome to the forums! You guys are both right... the differences are exceptionally minor and there's no GPUs out there that will take advantage of all the bandwidth, at least outside of high-end multi-GPU configurations. PCI-E 3.0 will bring a bit more to the table than 2.0 did...

Merlin, I think your theory is true... many Mac users don't know much about how the computer works or how to take full advantage of it. To be fair though, it's the same on the PC side of things. I know people who own laptops and ONLY use it to surf the web, because that's all they know how to...

I agree there, I'm glad that at least someone is working towards fighting the industry. I notice it with the choice of music alone. I checked out the Zune Marketplace the other night (despite not being able to purchase anything), and out of near 15 songs I was looking for, they had one. By...

Thermaltake has quite an offering on their hands with the Spedo Advance full-tower, and it might be one of the most robust chassis' we've had on our bench to date. Noticeable R&D went into this one, with cool features such as a wireless door fan, an "advanced" thermal chamber, pure black...

From our front-page news: Own an Xbox 360? Subscribe to Xbox Live? Have a cool gamertag that wasn't forced onto you because a thousand variations of the same nickname already existed? Well, Xbox live user "Hitman" sure does, and he realizes it - so much so that he's working on getting it sold...

Good catch, I didn't think too much about that. That sounds like a nice PR spin there, then. You caught me in a bit of poor wording. That paragraph was a follow-up on the one before it regarding Clarkdale and Arrandale. Those two will lack QPI and a triple-channel controller, but Gulftown...

If spam doesn't attempt to scam people, I don't complain. Lan parties are a win as far as I'm concerned. Wish I lived nearby... big LANs with beer are rare ;-)

From our front-page news: With there being so much solid-state disk talk all over the place, there are also countless myths floating about as well. Thanks to these, many have the wrong idea about SSD's, and how owning one will make their lives better. Information Week takes a look at a few...

Intel has unveiled most of what we wanted to know about their 32nm "Westmere" processors, and it looks like we have a fair amount to look forward to. In addition to the fact that we'll be seeing GPU/CPU processors later this year, the company also threw in a few other surprises, such as the...

From our front-page news:Overclocking. Hobby for some, life for others. In the past, I used to take overclocking seriously to a certain degree, but to become truly successful at it, you have no choice but to devote a lot of time and energy to studying up and sometimes even modding whatever...

From our front-page news: We've been hearing about a supposed death of Windows XP for quite a while, but up to this point, not too much has happened that proved that the OS was really on its way out. Well, that's until now, since Microsoft will be moving to pull all mainstream support for the OS...

Synology has become well-known over the years for producing some of the highest-quality NAS boxes on the planet, some of which we've taken a look at in the past, and the new DS209+ is no exception. Though expensive, it has a huge feature-set and superb performance to back it up, which makes it a...

From our front-page news:AMD has today announced five new AM3-based processors that we've been expecting to see for a few months now. These new chips perfectly follow-up to the company's Phenom II launch last month, which featured two Quad-Cores, the X4 940 and X920. Today's releases feature...

From our front-page news: Given my position here at Techgage, I tend to be familiar with many aspects of technology, but sometimes, there are areas that I don't pay too much attention to, for various reasons. Take virtualization, for example. It's a technology that's been around forever (even...

The benefits of a low-TDP processor are obvious, but a usual downside is also obvious: low clock speeds. Intel's changing that thinking with their Core 2 Quad "S" series, which includes the Q9550S, Q9400S and also the Q8200S. Compared to their non-"S" variants, they draw less power and run...

From our front-page news: When road signs in Texas warned of Nazi zombies last week, we all collectively had a good laugh. When "hackers" pulled the same stunt a few days later in my beloved home state of Indiana, I could barely muster the energy to defend the copy cat "crime". In all due...
