It's become a tired tradition to bring up the Tech TV past, but it's true. I never had ZDTV, but I started getting Tech TV in 2003... I think it was, and that's when I became introduced to The Screen Savers, Call for Help and the like, which was cool just to have on while working on something...

NuForce isn't the first company to bring high-end audio to the desktop, but their first complete PC audio system blends trendsetting aesthetics and audiophile-quality performance to form one of the most intriguing new PC audio systems we've yet seen. Do the Icon-1 and S-1 provide a little slice...

From our front-page news: So, you want to upgrade to Intel's latest Core i7 when it's finally unleashed on the very-suspecting public. Sounds like a good plan, but did you realize that you'll need to take a few factors into consideration? If you've been reading our pages, then you likely do, but...

There's no quick CMOS clear on this board, no, but from initial tests, I don't think it's going to be a big issue. This board features a new (I think) technology that will boot the system even after a failed overclock, and it's been quite reliable so far. If the CMOS does need to be cleared, the...

If Vista is proof of anything, it's that an OS shouldn't be rushed. Mid-2009 seems a little ridiculous, but I'm not going to assume anything until we actually see what's going on, and who knows, if they do release it next summer, it might not be so bad. An upcoming Microsoft developer conference...

I used to subscribe to G4 Tech TV, until I couldn't stand how bad it got, but I recently got it back due to a package upgrade and I decided to check it out again. The thing that struck me wasn't so much the programming, because it's alright, but what blows me away is how ridiculous their...

Hi man! Of course you are still welcome here, are you kidding? I know a bit about what kind of a drain wedding-planning can be. Drew on the forums here got married over the summer, and being the best-man, I found out first hand that I really don't want to get married soon ;-) Welcome back and...

Intel's first Core i7 CPUs are set to launch next month, and already, related product is hitting our labs. The most notable is ASUS' first mainstream X58 board, the P6T Deluxe. Key features include a 16+2 power phase design, SLI and CrossFireX support (up to three GPUs), support for SAS hard...

I admit I'm not much of an overclocker to begin with (I just overclock the CPU and be done with it), but I wouldn't be too concerned with latency when using four modules. It does increase it a bit, but I'd be hard-pressed to find someone who'd notice it in real-world scenarios. The best thing...

That's the first I've heard of that, but if I have time, I'll test it out. When a board has six DIMM slots, each set of two are in their own channel, so that could make sense. I still think, if you own a 2x2GB right now, the smart thing would be to just pick up another single stick if possible...

I wouldn't chance it. abit's support page offers nothing more than support for their motherboards.

Intel's chipsets are getting ridiculous... 75°C is unacceptable. Better cooling is almost required for pushing that much power though, I guess, but even still. You are not doing anything out of the ordinary, except overclocking the CPU... I can't understand why the chipset can get THAT hot...

I believe the NuForce speakers either came out recently, or will be out soon. Rory can definitely fill in the blanks here though...

While I do agree that using a hot processor is a good idea, I just don't think it looks good on us if we'd go back to use a P4. Some people might realize the reason, but others might take a look at us and think we're retarded. We use recent processors because it's what people use in their main...

From what I remember Elements being able to do, even $100 seems like a wicked price. After all, it can do a lot that Photoshop can (within reason), but that costs around $700 outside of a bundle. I'm sure they have a trial though... I'll have to give it a go soon, whenever I find myself in...

Haha, that doesn't surprise me for some reason, and I guess it does make sense. The boards can still run SLI, so that's all eVGA and others would care about. I had no idea of the value though... $5 per motherboard for the sake of including SLI support? It's not too bad, but I still hate the fact...

From our front-page news: For such a huge company, ASUS does a lot of things well. They build great motherboards, graphic cards, audio cards, notebooks and more... as we've seen time and time again in our own content. What they don't do too often is release a product that turns the industry...

From our front-page news: Yesterday, I posted about OCZ becoming the first memory vendor out the door with a tri-channel kit for Intel's upcoming X58 platform, and it didn't take too long for another to follow. Corsair today announces three new kits also, with two variants each (3GB & 6GB). One...

Well, I have a slew of CS3 programs here, so I don't plan to "downgrade", but I like the fact that Elements is just a lot easier to use... it's something I could get my mom to use to edit her own photos with. Photoshop to most people is just a little over-the-top, and understandably so. Even I...

It is odd, I agree. I think it's mostly a coincidence though, but either way, it still looks better than the coolers on their other cards. I still find it odd that they don't put a little more effort into their coolers though, since it's rather obvious that after-market coolers perform so much...
