From our front-page news: Intel on Friday announced that Craig Barrett will retire in May from both his role as Chairman of the Board and also from the Board of Directors. Craig became the Chairman in May 2005 after leaving his CEO position, which is now in Paul Otellini's hands. His CEO...

From our front-page news: It may be difficult to believe, but despite the fact that iTunes is up to version 8, and has been out since 2001, I purchased my first track from the service just this past weekend. What took me so long? DRM too me so long. As soon as I heard the wretched tech was...

Heh, I knew I didn't much care for RAID for some reason... now I might know. It's such a hassle... Most people run it for redundancy. In that case, each drive would be an exact duplicate of the other, so if one dies, the machine can be back up fast. From the performance standpoint, running a...

Not sure where they are located, but the built-in Vista wallpapers are 1920x1200. I remember checking when I first got my hands on the OS.

It was running Vista Home Premium.

From our front-page news: Fast storage, can we ever get enough? With the introduction of the solid-state disk, it's become so clear to us all just how much of a bottleneck traditional mechanic storage has become. Our CPUs are getting faster, but with even faster storage, we could see substantial...

From our front-page news: That's the big question, and it's a good one brought up by VoodooPC founder Rahul Sood over at his blog. His thoughts are that with the advent and development of netbooks, PC innovation could be curbed, and for the most part, I can agree with him on most points. An...

There's been a fair amount of attention hovering around NVIDIA's ION this month, and for good reason. It's small, offers decent performance, and can deliver huge peripheral connectivity. We were able to spend some time with the ION earlier this month, putting it through various tests, such as...

The more you talk about the folder stuff, the more it annoys me. It used to annoy me a lot more, when I actually used Vista for more than just benchmarking, but since I don't have room for that PC anymore, it kind of left my mind. That would drive me nuts though, seriously. Something like that...

Come on now... Vista's are also 1920x1200. Stop making stuff up ;-)

From our front-page news: Hardcore PC gamer? Then chances are good you enjoy a good first-person shooter from time to time. Well, being a PC gamer, it's probably hard to not enjoy this genre, because let's face it, it seems to be the de facto genre that people think of most when picturing PC...

From our front-page news: There haven't been too many companies unaffected by the state of the economy, and we can now add Intel to that list. In a release issued yesterday, the company announced plans to consolidate manufacturing operations, which includes closing down of some factories, all...

This is something we're working on for future cooling content. It's been hard to go back and find time to re-test things, but it's in the works.

From our front-page news: When it comes to technology, I don't often agree with many judges, but this one I do. Judge James P. Jones gave his opinion in a recent P2P-related lawsuit, and came to the simple conclusion that a downloaded file doesn't necessarily equate to a lost sale, which is a...

Haha. Give a man a few words, get back a thousand :-D To be fair, I was one of the worst ranters in Vista's earliest days, so I can understand the frustration. People used to claim that I straight-out hated Microsoft and that my complaints about the OS weren't valid (I know this because of the...

Nice! I wasn't sure if the codecs were built into the beta already, but good to know. Speaking of Top Gear though, did you see this story? That does look good, I like it. I actually quite like the general design of the taskbar overall, I think I could get used to it. I know what you mean about...

It's funny you mention Portal, because for whatever reason, I tend to think of that game when I'm playing Mirror's Edge. I'm not sure why, but it might have to do with the general design of the game and the focus on getting through a level rather than killing anything that moves.

If you want to get rid of that air CPU cooler, but find water-cooling too complicated and expensive, CoolIT might have just what you're looking for. Their Domino A.L.C. is designed to offer greater cooling-abilities over air, while retaining reasonable noise-levels. Best of all, it's...

Hah, at that resolution, any game will run well. You might want to run the game without PhysX, but you'll have to play around to see if that GPU can handle both PhysX and regular gameplay no problem.
