Heh. SilverStone decided not to release the NT08, so it looks like our Editor's Choice there has gone to waste. Why was it pulled? No clue.

In using a single-threaded application, raw frequency is what's important. In the case of Capture NX, if it's single-threaded, then it doesn't matter what CPU is being used, as long as it's fast. I am still thinking a Quad-Core overclocked (or even not) would be a better idea for the long-run...

The sad thing? I switched to Rogers a month ago. The even sadder thing? There's nothing better. It's the truth. We have three carriers here... Rogers, Aliant (Bell) and Telus. Telus runs through Aliant's insufficient networks, so that about explains why they are not an option. I moved over to...

PhysX is getting a lot of attention right now, but the reasons vary wildly. Since we haven't taken a look at the technology in a while, this article's goal is to see where things stand. We'll also be taking an in-depth look at GPU PhysX performance, using both 3DMark Vantage and UT III. You can...

As mentioned twice in the review, they were left out because their bracket system collided with the heatpipe on our ASUS P5E3 Deluxe. "I also want to add that Zalman did provide us with the 8700, 9500 and 9700 coolers, but they were not compatible with our test motherboard. The heatpipe on the...

I am such a newb when it comes to this series, but is this one much like BF2? I haven't touched the series since that game... couldn't get into it for some reason.

Depends on what you are using. Our Lightroom results show that the Q6600 is about 8 seconds faster than the E8400: http://techgage.com/article/intel_core_2_quad_q9450_266ghz/6 If you overclocked either CPU at all though, those results would change a lot. If you overclocked the Quad-Core to...

Sadly, no it does not.

From our front-page news: Ahh, the summer is here, and the next two months hold some great conferences and trade shows, such as the Intel Developer Forum, NVISION and the first ASUS Republic of Gamers convention. But that's far from all. One I'll be attending next month is HOPE, or Hackers on...

From our front-page news:NVIDIA is the target of a lot of backlash the past week, since releasing updated PhysX drivers that optimize higher-end GPUs to handle the workload. The drivers themselves aren't the problem, but rather inflated 3DMark Vantage scores. Because the benchmark utilizes PhysX...

ATI's All-In-Wonder cards might have been killed off in 2006, but they are being brought back to life now in the form of the All-In-Wonder HD. The new card is based on the Radeon HD 3650, offers all of the benefits of the TV Wonder series and is priced at $199. You can read the full article...

Proper competition from AMD in the mid-range scheme of things might have taken a while to happen, but it does happen with the HD 4000 series. We are taking a look at the smaller of the two new models, which offers exceptional performance for the price of $200. You can read the full article here...

If you were really creative, you could probably replace your refridgerator with it.

This article turned out great Bill... I think the sheer amount of effort that was put into it is evident. I'm really surprised by some of the 'winners'... I had no idea that the Freezer 7 PRO was so cheap and so effective, along with OCZ's Vanquisher. I'm glad to see that that Thermalright...

To be honest, I think the main issue with these cards are the slow-moving fans. It seems that AMD really didn't want these cards to scream whenever they were in use. Even at full load, they are still quiet. I guess they were happy enough to hit the 1TFlop mark, so they didn't find it necessary...

You could always try on a stock cooler... you are not going to kill it. I would raise it up gradually. Try for 3.0GHz first, and then check out the temperatures you are seeing at full load (using a stress-tester and RealTemp). If temps are kept within reason (~60C), then you could go ahead and...

Welcome to the forums UBfusion! As for the RAID situation, I wouldn't run out and spend $100 when we are dealing with a 250GB drive... might make more sense just to buy a 320GB drive for the same price and use it for manual backups. I'll always stay away from RAID 0... it's just not worth the...

Ahh, nothing like that new RAM smell.

Well, HTPC doesn't equal 'small PC', but I can agree. If you had a seriously cool setup, meaning massive TV or projector screen and a large living area, it might look really cool. But if you are in a cramped livingroom, it's going to look ridiculous. It's actually probably taller than many...

I agree completely with Kougar... if there is important data, get it off there first. I haven't 'repaired' an XP installation in a while, but from what I recall, it's not that clean. Chances are you might want to do a reformat, but I'd at least repair first, just to grab the data, and then...
