    Mirror's Edge Offers Unique Gaming Experience

    From our front-page news: We've talked a little bit about Mirror's Edge in our news in the past, but it wasn't until the other night that I was finally able to sit down and see what the game was all about. Well, actually, it was more like sitting down and finding a level we could use for...

    Windows 7 to Bundle Popular Video Codecs

    I think the reason for all the positive feedback is simply because there was so much negative feedback towards Vista, that people feel refreshed, and anything that "works" in the beta comes off as being impressive. I've also heard a fair amount of complaint about the new taskbar, so I'm...

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    I still haven't been able to give this a try, but it is downloaded and burned, ready to go. I've been swamped, so I hope to be able to test things out a little bit next week... if I can manage to catch up. Kougar, what other than failed RAID setups don't you like about Vista? It seems to me...

    Indie 103.1 FM Goes Online Only to Retain Station's Spirit

    I agree with regards to Internet radio, but that's where Indie 103.1 was a little different. They played good music, no matter how big the name. There's been times when they'd play a track once in a while that I'd think is stupid, but that will happen on any radio station. From time to time, I'd...

    OLED is All Over, Even on OCZ Keyboards

    From our front-page news: "OLED" has been a term thrown around quite a bit in the past year or two, partly in thanks to the Optimus Maximus, but as time passes on, prices for the very cool technology continue to plummet, so it's a sure thing that we'll be seeing more affordable uses for it in...

    Indie 103.1 FM Goes Online Only to Retain Station's Spirit

    From our front-page news: Ugh, what's happening to radio? There's been a lot of doubt hovering around radio broadcasts for a while, but the truth is, they seem to be just as alive as they ever were, even with the advent of the Internet and streaming services. Many people love driving to work...

    Gigabyte's MA79GX-DS4H Helps Phenom II Reach 6.8GHz

    From our front-page news: Yesterday, I posted about a new high-end motherboard that eVGA were showing off, but aside from them, it was only Gigabyte who was actually pushing the kind of hardware that we were personally looking for. Motherboards, and lots of them. In particular, they had a keen...

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    I just tested it... downloaded fine for me. You might just want to try again.

    Little Help?

    Back in the CRT days, I used to be a huge ViewSonic fan, but with LCDs, I've shifted over to Samsung (despite not owning one). I am not sure about that particular model, but I'm sure it's great. I recently built a friend a PC, and he picked up the Samsung 2443BW, and it has stellar...

    Fall Processor Pricing - Finding the Best Bang for the Buck

    Hi Ben: This article was focusing around desktop processors, not notebook processors, so this can't really be used for that purpose. Notebook processors are a slightly different breed, and the models are completely different. Notebook CPUs usually have lower frequencys, less cache, a lower...

    Logitech Z Cinema Speaker System

    These are USB-based speakers... no sound card in the PC needs to be used. You just plug them into an available USB port and plug the power into the wall, and you're good to go. Whether or not these speakers are right for you or not, I'm unsure. I'll let Rory speak for that.

    TRENDnet TEW-637AP Wireless N Access Point

    Yup, it was the HTML code. I'm just not sure how it went through... I thought this forum had disabled HTML, but I was wrong. To post code so that it's seen and not executed, you can hit the pound (#) key in the WYS editor to put code brackets around the code.

    Vantec SATA/IDE to USB Adapter

    That is a great question, but I have a good feeling that will not be possible. I believe these devices are designed to go in one direction, not vice versa. That's just an assumption though...

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    It wasn't until Service Pack 1 came out that I began to actually enjoy using Vista. Until that time, I outright hated it, as I expressed multiple times in our content and these forums. SP1 fixed a lot, and while bugs (and hitches) still remain, I'd still much rather choose Vista over XP, it goes...

    Little Help?

    It's very difficult to judge whether a monitor is good just by looking at the specs, because there's so much to it than that. From the specs here though, that's a very capable monitor and should treat you well. I'd recommend searching for reviews though, and seeing if anything turns up. If you...

    problem w/bios POST on cold computer....

    To be honest, this doesn't sound like a PSU issue, but something else, and probably small. Have you made certain that all of the connections to the motherboard are plugged in their correct spots, and also that they are pushed in all of the way? When you cold boot, does anything show up on the...

    Steve Jobs Takes Leave of Absence Until End of June

    I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to deal with something so serious when being in his position. If the CEO of any other company got ill, I don't think too many people would notice. But with Jobs, people notice immediately and drag it out to death. When I was browsing MSNBC.com last night...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB

    I have a lot of work in front of me for the next couple days with a lot of benchmarking, so I'll have these results next week.
