    ASUS Rampage II Extreme - The Definitive Overclocking Board?

    Hey Bab, good to see you around man! Thanks for the comments on the review, I appreciate it. I'm not sure about the memory, to be honest. Usually if there's some sort of inconsistency, it's there, and for whatever reason, it's usually Intel who's in dead last. I used to like their boards quite a...

    Windows Usage Dips Below 90% for First Time

    From our front-page news: Microsoft's Windows might still be the dominate operating system on the market, but as more and more people are learning about alternative OS', their dominance is slowly decreasing, but seems to be doing so at an increasing pace. According to recent reports from Net...

    Apple Recommends Using AntiVirus Under OS X

    Well, on one hand, I'd like to think they that removed it only because it blew up and made them look foolish, but on the other hand, it does seem a little odd that the recommendation was to run three different AntiVirus applications at once.

    AMD's Processor Roadmap Revealed

    From our front-page news: The wait for Phenom II might be a little rough, but we're now closer than ever to launch, and thanks to AMD's updated roadmaps, we know just how close. According to the roadmap, which covers the entire first-half of 2009, AMD will be releasing a total of fourteen...

    Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini 320GB

    Hi Lisa: I am not familiar with the software, but is there an option in there somewhere that tells is to recursively sync the folders? Without that option selected, it wouldn't grab the subfolders. I guess I should ask, are the files in the root section of the local folder the same as the...

    Building an Affordable "Skulltrail" System

    That little Skulltrail logo is supposed to come with all retail versions of the board, but I know it's easy to lose. I'm not even sure where the one on our board went ;-) Oh, and their P45 Bonetrail board came with one too, I believe.

    How is that a bad thing? Hopefully they just won't screw it up, like so many others do...

    CoD4 Disp Drivers Issues

    I guess the second question would be, are you running the latest available patch? Are you checking for overheating, or anything like that? It's a strange issue, especially if that's the only game it's happening with. I've used that game with both NVIDIA and ATI on both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista...

    How much power do I need for various HD 4870 scenerios?

    Merlin is right... hard drives will be the issue with that card. Once installed, the middle drive bay will have to be removed, because there's just not enough room (I use the same case). So, all hard drives will have to be installed in the bottom bay (room for four). That's what bugs me about...

    Micron Expects 1GB/s SSDs Within the Year

    I don't know... I'm still not that excited, but it's all in thanks to the overall density. I love these Intel SSDs, and they are a blast to benchmark with, but the 80GB limit is so hard to deal with (for me, at least), so it kind of sucks the fun out of it. That's not Intel's fault... it's just...

    Worst Band Names and Album Covers

    Haha. The album I chose is one I chose just for the name. I like it... music can take you on travels without moving from your chair, so it's a cool title. I agree with DSotM though. Fantastic album, but the title doesn't strike me as being that interesting.

    Open-Source Songbird Music Player Hits Version 1.0

    I used the player again a little bit more today, and I really have to say, it's good. There are still a few things about it that are going to keep me with Amarok for the time-being, but they are minor. The biggest issue with me is that the "Artists" list can't be sorted any different from...

    Open-Source Songbird Music Player Hits Version 1.0

    From our front-page news: The up-and-coming open-source music player "Songbird" has just hit a major milestone: Version 1.0. "Up-and-coming" might be a poor choice of words, though, as the developers have stated that usage is now above 160,000 users, which is an incredible show of support for an...

    Apple Recommends Using AntiVirus Under OS X

    Hah! Apple has since removed the message, stating that it was put there by mistake: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10111958-83.html Make of that what you will.

    Apple Recommends Using AntiVirus Under OS X

    From our front-page news: One thing that Apple users have long been able to brag about is the overall security available on the Mac. For the most part, though, it's not so much that it's secure, it's that OS X has never been the main target of virus and malware writers, or the target of various...

    Adobe's 64-bit Flash Plugin Worth the Upgrade

    From our front-page news: Adobe surprised the Linux world a few weeks ago with the release of their alpha 64-bit Flash plugin, as we covered here, and I said I'd follow-up with my thoughts, and I 'll do so now. It took me a week after the release to get around to upgrading, and I can honestly...

    Who's planning to upgrade to Nehalem?

    Welcome to the forums! You have a fantastic rig as it is (kudos on the static 4.0GHz overclock), so there's little reason for you to upgrade. As I mentioned in our article last month, the greatest benefits are seen with rendering and other similar multi-media applications, but with an...

    Half-Life Recreation "Black Mesa" Due Next Year

    From our front-page news:Less than two weeks ago, I posted about the tenth anniversary of the original Half-Life, and recalled on just how incredible of a title it was. If you were a PC gamer back in 1998, you knew what Half-Life was, and chances are, you completed the entire game. There might...
