From our front-page news:One question I hear quite often is, "How do I mount a disk image?", and for the most part, I don't have a great answer. Well, until now, that is. The need to mount ISO images can vary from person to person, but for me personally, I like to backup my DVDs of music...

Finding an affordable chassis that's both large and feature-packed can be a little difficult, but Cooler Master's latest HAF 932 delivers on all accounts, and the goods don't stop there. This steel full-tower features huge interior space, great ease-of-installation, many bundled fans, hardcore...

Welcome to the forums :-) S-ATA 3Gb/s is backwards-compatible with 1.5Gb/s, so any drive you plug in is going to work. Some drives require a small switch on the drive itself to be toggled in order to enable 1.5Gb/s, so you might just want to look out for that. As for 3.0Gb/s... I wouldn't...

No, the XMP profile doesn't matter when the multipliers are locked. On the Core i7 920 ( I can't speak on the 940 ), the memory multipliers enabled are 6x and 8x. With a Base Clock of 133MHz, the maximum memory frequency that can be achieved is 1066MHz. The XMP isn't a special case... it's just...

Hi Hyperdesk: I ridiculed the press release because it's confusing, especially to the regular consumer. I mentioned above that "if I was a normal consumer, I wouldn't know how to take it.", and the reason I did was because I did send it to a regular consumer (friend), and he didn't know what...

Merlin, that is clearly two words :p I agree though. While the DS207 didn't meet my particular needs (since I use Linux), I know for Windows users it's a seriously good solution.

I didn't check the temperatures clock-for-clock, but you're right... it's not going to be a huge issue. I do believe the i7 965 includes a more robust CPU cooler though, but I still don't think it will matter too much. After all, it's not as though you'll be pushing the CPU 100% constantly... I...

I received a somewhat humorous press release earlier this week that I just had to share, because the message being passed through is so contradictory, and hilarious.COOPER CITY, Fla. – (November 11, 2008) – The Skins Factory, a global leader in user interface design, has announced their popular...

From our front-page news: Last summer, you wouldn't have imagined a company like ASUS would release their own audio card, much less do a good job with its design, but as we first saw in our review of their Xonar D2, we knew they meant business. They weren't simply strolling into the audio market...

I left the machine to stress overnight, and I can report that with a Base Clock of 166MHz and a 20x multiplier, the PC turned out to be completely stable, as you can see in the screenshot below. I didn't use the stock heatsink, but I wouldn't imagine any issues arising from using it. The...

It seems my assumptions were completely incorrect... there are memory limits when using a non-Extreme processor. I popped in the Core i7 920 earlier and the default (and maximum) memory speed was DDR3-1066, with the only other option being DDR3-800. Essentially, that means the memory multipliers...

Welcome to the forums! I'm curious about that 3.80GHz overclock on that CPU though... I am just not sure if it's possible. I don't mind being proven wrong, but that would require a Base Clock of 190MHz, which is high as heck where Nehalem is concerned. I haven't done any hardcore overclocking...

Music is one thing in particular that bugs me... along with some movies. I hate the stupid stickers that cover the top and/or bottom and require to be cut off first. More often than not, it's a pain to remove, and sometimes leave residue. As if the plastic wrapper wasn't enough... what's a...

Hi guys: Thanks for the comments! I'll tackle the questions one by one... As seen in the article, higher densities don't make a substantical difference with latencies, so getting a DDR3-1066 6-6-6 or DDR3-1333 7-7-7 isn't going to hold you back. Having one of those, I don't think you are...

First off, welcome to the forums :-) That's an odd issue, and one I don't quite understand either. Like Merlin said, it could be a BIOS option, but if you didn't tweak around in there to begin with, I don't understand how it would disable all of the cores. In the task manager (CTRL + ALT +...
