Hmm. I just posted this in here so I could rant about the video capabilities... which I hate. I won't get into a huge spiel, but I'm sick of all these 'consumer' options available on a 'prosumer' camera, that's all I can say. I'm sick of seeing bastardization of great DSLRs just so it can cater...

From our front-page news: Nikon's famous D90 digital SLR has been speculated on and outed again and again for weeks now, but Nikon sent out an official announcement today. Though the camera still has the usual fanfare of specifications, namely the 12.3 megapixel lens, Live View LCD, and ISO...

You are right... the product is supposed to become available next month, but it's OEM-only, sadly (given it's so complex to install). Supposed to cost around $300 to the end user by the end of it all though. They weren't testing with a Quad-Core, so it's really hard to gauge just how worthy it...

Day one at NVISION kicked off and kept us busy from first thing in the morning until the late into the evening. Though nothing new was announced, we did manage to check out a few interesting sights, such as Jen-Hsun's keynote, exhibitor booths and more. You can read the article here and discuss...

Can either of the SLI and Crossfire technologies be defeated by a company we've never heard of before? Hard to say, but Rory's look into Lucid and their Hydra Engine can definitely give us some insight. One of the more exciting third-party demonstrations we saw at Intel's 2008 Developer Forum...

We're in sunny San Jose where NVIDIA's mega-event, NVISION 08, will soon be in full effect. The event is bringing gamers and developers from all over the world to create what NVIDIA hopes to be the first true visual computing convention. We stepped behind the scenes before the official opening...

From our front-page news: According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft's ad campaign will feature a number of key celebrities that will pitch Vista, including the popular comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, and Bill Gates. Microsoft has yet to compete with the negative ad campaign that Apple has use...

Thanks for the comments Oleg!

Good thoughts! Intel was questioned about why they'd dedicate another million transistors to something like that, but they feel extremely confident that it's one of the smartest things that has been added to Nehalem.

Wednesday's keynote schedule may not have been as chock-full of new hardware demonstrations as Tuesday's Gelsinger-Perlmutter marathon, but it wasn’t without some excitement of its own. Here's our summary of the day's keynote speeches. You can read the full article here and discuss it here!

Both CPUs are the same, right? Go into the task manager and see if there are eight cores under the performance tab. In CPU-Z, there should be a drop-down menu under the Processor... yours isn't like that, even WITH both CPUs installed?

You will also be able to change the TDP limit inside the BIOS in order to keep the overclock successful. Part of the new power scheme is improved throttling. If you set a 180W TDP in the BIOS and your overclock begins to exceed it, it will begin to throttle considerably, which will be evident by...

From our front-page news:At an Intel briefing today, we learned a lot more about what to expect when benchmarking Nehalem, and much of it answered the exact questions that have been lingering in my mind for some time. If you read our overview on Nehalem already, then you know the benefits of the...

Greetings from the Fall 2008 Intel Developer Forum! Day 1 is done, and we've already heard speeches from some of the biggest names at the company, regarding new products and the company's future direction, as well as the significance of technological progress worldwide. We've got your details...

Intel opened up about their Nehalem architecture at this summer's IDF, and while we are unable to talk about performance data, what we can talk about is of great interest. Read on as we take a brief look at Turbo Mode, HyperThreading, CPU and Memory overclocking, the triple-channel memory...

From IDF:During Pat Gelsinger's keynote this afternoon, he touched on many different areas around computing that Intel is playing a large role in, in the coming years, one of which was Nehalem. Pat touched on some of the workstation aspects of the upcoming processor, but we are more interested...

From our front-page news: For the first time in a while, AMD now dominates both the mid-range and high-end GPU market, and it's good to see. Competition is good, and AMD's offerings up to recently haven't instilled much faith in us, or the investors. As we saw in our coverage of the HD 4870 X2...

From our front-page news: If the reminder I posted the other day wasn't enough, let's try it all again. As you read this, Rory and I will have probably already landed in San Francisco, ready to take in all that Intel's Developer Forum will throw at us. If you didn't read the post I made the...

With no real budget, the skies the limit. I don't have much time right now to exhaustively list what should be included, because I'm rushing to get things done before leaving town tomorrow, but, if I had a nice budget and was to build a kick ass PC right now, this is what I'd get: Intel Core 2...

Hi Steve: "Just wondering what mobo's are out there that support at least 16 GB RAM and have at least a dual socket configuration." That's a great question, and it has me thinking. When we first did this article, we were told that the board supported up to 8GB of RAM, but now the product page...
