Nothing has changed from last year. It kind of depends on what you want to use it for as well. If you want to actually use it as a regular computer, just download Ubuntu or something. If you have a decent GPU installed, you might want to try Sabayon, since it has a lot of eye-candy. Ubuntu is...

I'm no monitor guru, so I can't give great advice here, but that monitor you linked to doesn't even support digital inputs, so the image quality is going to be lacking. I know this, because a friend of mine has almost the identical monitor, and I notice it there as well. You are not that...

You bought an expensive SSD just to throw in the PS3? Level loading means THAT much to you?

There's no significance of the Core Clock except that it helps the card stand out and it's 90MHz above stock.

Not sure if this is public knowledge or if I am even supposed to pass the information on, but here are the SRP's for ASUS' launch boards: ASUS P6T Deluxe w/ OC Palm: $309 ASUS Rampage II Extreme: $399 ASUS expects the prices to be a little bit lower once Core i7 actually launches.

No matter your need for graphics power, the choice of GPUs right now is fantastic. Where high-end gamers are concerned, two popular options are the HD 4870 1GB and the GTX 260/216. We're taking a look at XFX's latest release of the latter, which features such an impressive factory overclock, it...

I could be wrong, but I thought the only coolers that could be used without a proprietary backplate were those that used those ridiculous thumb mounts that Intel's stock coolers use?

From our front-page news: It's hard to look at any product nowadays and not read something to the extent of it being "energy efficient". Heck, the product might literally bear the color green just to prove it. I don't think it's all for naught though. Producing energy efficient products isn't...

From our front-page news:LucidLogix, a company that aims to deem both SLI and CrossFireX useless, have just secured $18 million in Series C funding from Rho Ventures, a good sign that the technology has what it takes to fulfill its goal. We first learned of Lucid back during the Intel Developer...

Wow, am I alone in saying that we want to see pics? That sounds like a sweet setup!

Looking to build a new machine on a budget? Then look no further than choosing Gigabyte's EP45-UD3P as your choice for motherboard. It may not offer a lot in the area of bling, but it includes a solid design, lots of connectivity options (including 8 USB and S-ATA), fantastic overclocking...

From our front-page news: Microsoft this week handed out pre-beta versions of Windows 7, and luckily for us, screenshots are littered all over the web, giving us an inside preview of what's to come. Ars Technica got hold of the pre-beta and gives a quick preview on what's new, and I have to...

From our front-page news: Sometimes... I just cannot wrap my head around the pirate's mind. Take for example the ridiculous outrage that people in the Chinese market are engaged in because Microsoft finally implemented their Windows Genuine Advantage program over there. For those unaware, WGA...

I agree about the romance bit... I've seen the same thing on the same channels in other hosted shows. No one cares about their relationships (if you do, check yourself) so to have it shoved down our throats is just a recipe for me looking to see what else is on TV.

Each of their products have different eligibilities for upgrading, and there is a cut-off. Photoshop CS, CS2 and CS3 can all be upgraded to CS4 for $199. The Extended version is a little more expensive to upgrade to... $349.

I did sign up in time, although I'm not sure what it's going to do that Wine can't. If it runs games better, then I'd be pleased. There's still a lot under Steam I can't run in Linux... just the simplest of games work. Will make a post about it once I'm able to spend some time with it.

Things are sorted out overall though, right? Just not with SLI? SLI has always been unreliable with dual monitors, but their 180.00 driver is out in beta if you wanted to give it a try.

Ahh, if I wasn't so lazy, I'd consider a water-cooled rig. I can't comment much on the parts selected, but there are a few here who can (Matt, where art thou?). Definitely post pics once it's all installed!

The current low densities are made worse when you realize that the byte translation makes it an even smaller drive. The Intel X-25M's format to 74.5GB, which isn't that much of a difference, but when dealing with such a small drive in the first place, it's hard to get excited about. I'm...

From our front-page news: Well over a year ago, we linked to French site Matbe for one good reason. Although roundups are all-too-popular, not too many roundups involve over one hundred products. In that case, it was power supplies. But now, the same site has gone and done it again, but this...
