From our front-page news: It's been quite a year for DeviceVM, to say the least. We first discovered their product by way of visiting ASUS' booth at January's CES, and have continued to follow it as it grows. Splashtop, for the uninitiated, is an "instant-on" Linux-based OS that's designed to...

SilverStone has become well-known over the years for producing top-quality products, and the FT01 further reinstates that fact. Although the chassis is a bit pricier than others, it's well-deserved. Obvious R&D went into this one, and not only does it offer superb airflow and the lack of a...

That game looks sick! I have it downloaded on Steam, but haven't even had a chance to look at the menu screen. Looking forward though.

CS4 has some cool new features (I haven't use any yet), but I'm not sure it'd be worth the upgrade price from CS3. Waiting two generations will add even more value to that upgrade $.

In my limited experience, it seems to handle .xlsx "alright", but I haven't given it a real thorough test, nor have I used a real intense file. As for Frontpage, didn't that just become Expression? How has Publisher taken elements of FP?

That seems rather insane to me. That would be high for current-gen chips... Core i7 requires less voltage overall and seems to become much hotter with more voltage than current chips. I could not imagine going above 1.55V on Core i7, much less 1.7V+.

I don't know about that. It depends on what you need, I guess, but I find SSDs to be severely limiting at this point on the desktop. On notebooks it might be a bit different. In preparation for forthcoming processor reviews, I'm using Intel's 80GB SSD, and even that seems small when all the...

SilverStone makes great supplies. I'm not sure about that one in particular, but I'm sure it's quality just like the rest. We've been using their DA1200 in our testing for a while and it's been quite reliable.

I am not sure why SetPoint would be required at all. I've plugged in mice and keyboards without installing SetPoint and those worked fine. It was the extra functionality that was a bit lacking. What exactly causes them to stop working?

Haha! Man, now that's being thrifty.

From our front-page news:When reading opinions on multi-core processors, one common message that some have is that there is no real use for the regular consumer to own one. That might have been true a few years ago, but that statement isn't entirely true anymore. Developers are continually...

The choice in netbooks used to be slim, but that's far from being the case today. With all the competition, companies have to be creative in how they design their product, and in the case of Smooth Creation's Smoothbook Slice, how they differentiate themselves is in the look. So if you ever...

From our front-page news: We haven't talked much about Badaboom in the past, but it's one application NVIDIA's riding on to help improve the likability of CUDA. Because GPUs consist of highly parallel processors, certain tasks can be handled much faster on your graphics card - much faster than...

From our front-page news: NVIDIA has been having a rough year... not many people could argue that. From a dampened product launch to product issues to financial hits to rampant rumors - NVIDIA's had it all. The latest rumor that's been lingering around for a while is that the Santa Clara-based...

I am not sure what your question is, exactly. I can't see it being a problem to just purchase another CPU and throw it in the Dell, but it might void the warranty. You'd have to read into it.

I am not sure just how severe the possibility of disaster is if you go above 1.65v, but even the thought of killing a CPU with overvoltage is keeping me away from it, for now. It's such a low limit, it sucks. Most of the best overclocks floating around have involved using a much higher than...

The cooler itself doesn't cost much, and in my opinion, recent NVIDIA coolers have been ugly. I love the look of ATI's HD 4870 X2 though... it doesn't feature gross curves like the one in the image above, or on the other recent NVIDIA GPUs. It's just too bad that none of them cool well to begin...

You must be talking about one of the suites, not Photoshop Elements :P For the suites to be of real use, you have to be well-versed in a variety of applications, because though it might seem like the perfect solution for a small team, it's not. It can only be registered on one PC at a time, and...

I am not sure I entirely agree with that argument Stork. Microsoft has released new versions of Office, but there was never a big reason people had to upgrade. If they had Office 2000, I don't think there was any real incentive to upgrade to 2003 (although I do know it enhanced Excel...

Haha, that sounds like a cool idea man, looking forward to seeing that one put together. Where did you score the amp?
