    ECS "Black Series" P45T-A

    Besides the performance factor itself, there is more to the board, like a rich BIOS, good feature-set, non-clunky board layout, overall presentation... none of these were that good on this board. The performance is good, and as long as you don't mind the downsides, you'll be happy.

    What's a good RSS reader for Windows?

    Hi all: I am looking for a good RSS-reader for Windows that isn't web-based. I've been using Liferea for Linux for a while, and it has been treating me well, but I'll be forced to using Windows on an upcoming business trip, so I'd like to know what alternatives there are. The RSS-reader I...

    Peeved Developer Gets His Responses

    I've just resorted to locating no-CD cracks and never have to worry about the disc. On odd occasion, I'll burn the game itself to a backup, but that doesn't always work because the game knows better. The companies simply want you to scratch the original disc enough so you'll have to replace it...

    Building an Affordable "Skulltrail" System

    Elvis: Congrats on getting the rig overlooked! Keep an eye on those temps and make sure they keep within reason. It's a very-nice overclock though... hard to complain! Hawke: Well... that sucks. I have no idea what the Apple heatsinks look like, but it sucks they are bulky enough to get in the...

    ECS "Black Series" P45T-A

    It's a huge problem, and one I plan to speak about to ECS when I talk to them in a few weeks time. The S-ATA placement was a little worse on the X48T-A board, but if you do have two large GPUs, say goodbye. The new 90-degree ports are FAR more sensible, and I agree, I hope to see it more...

    Logitech X-540 5.1 Speakers

    It won't get full-surround-sound probably, but it will still work fine overall. It includes a splitter-cable so you could hook it up to even an MP3 player if you wanted to.

    The iMac Turns Ten

    From our front-page news: I've said it a million times before, but I'll say it again, "Time flies.". Ten years ago, Apple released a new computer that really, really caught people off-guard. It was so different, and many people were undecided on whether to even like it or not. I personally...

    ECS "Black Series" P45T-A

    Need to build a new rig on the cheap? Need modest Crossfire support, and a decent feature-set? The ECS P45T-A might be worthy of your consideration, as it packs in a good amount of functionality, solid performance, a cool color scheme and of course, a good price tag, of around $110. You can...

    Intel Releases Latest USB 3.0 Spec

    From our front-page news: Intel shot out a press release yesterday that I somehow completely overlooked, which details the 0.9 spec for USB 3.0, and it clears up many questions that lingered in the air. The most important one being that the spec is becoming available to all members of the USB...

    Best Desktop Search Applications?

    From our front-page news: There's little worse than needing a file fast, and not being able to find it. The search tool in Vista is almost useless, and overly complicated, but what other options are there? Surprisingly, there are loads of options available and they go far beyond anything the...

    Peeved Developer Gets His Responses

    From our front-page news: This past Monday, I linked to an Ars Technica article that discussed Cliff Harris, an agitated game developer who's tired of his games being pirated, and rightfully so. He raised the question to the pirates themselves, "Why do you pirate games?" Seems like a...

    Lenovo Brings Wacom to their W700 Notebook

    From our front-page news: It's not all too often that a new notebook comes around that is truly unique, because let's face it, it's hard to do something interesting with such a confined amount of space. Well, Lenovo has gone ahead and released what appears to be the mobile warrior's ultimate...

OCZ prepares to take on the world of gaming keyboards with their new Alchemy Elixir, part of the company's Alchemy lineup of gaming peripherals. How does it stack...

    Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 1GB - AMD Reclaims GPU Supremacy

    I never enabled AA in Crysis before, so that wasn't the problem. Half-Life 2 had AA, but it still should have been able to handle that game just fine. Like I mentioned in the review, judging by the 'previews' that were posted weeks before, the problem was just my own, it seemed. Perhaps I have...

    AMD's Split Rumors Heating Up

    From our front-page news: It looks as though AMD is preparing to split in half, and it might happen a lot sooner than we would have expected. TG Daily has the details on the upcoming Asset Light and Asset Smart strategies, which are being lead by current Chairman of the Board, Hector Ruiz...

    Intel's Developer Forum Next Week, Time to Look Back on Last Year

    Rory and I will be heading to San Fran next week for IDF, so I thought we should all refresh our memories of what happened there last year! From our front-page news: It's almost that time of the year again, when we'll be heading down to San Francisco for Intel's Developer Forum, a conference...

    IntelBurnTest - New stress-testing program

    Posted about this to the front page, thanks a lot for the link. Will definitely use this in the lab from now on. I'm impressed by those temp differences... that's amazing.

    Windows Vista 64bit Freezing

    Has it been keeping up? So it was for sure the power saving scheme that was causing the issues? If so, then wow. How didn't that effect you with the 32-bit version though? I'm confused about that part, since I'm sure you didn't touch the power scheme there (who would ever think to, except on a...

    Clearing Up Misconceptions about CUDA and Larrabee

    I do think it's obvious that NVIDIA cards are not as programmable as Larrabee will be, especially given that Larrabee is essentially a CPU with multiple x86 cores designed for specific workloads. NVIDIA said otherwise, and I'm sure they'll claim that for a while. If I had the ability to go out...
