    HD TV PCI Card

    You've used it before? I can't even tell what brand it is by looking at it. That in itself makes me skeptical.

    Gas Prices

    It was mentioned on the news the other night (CNN) that by the summer, gas prices could be at around $4.00 country-wide. It's already at that in Canada though, so I'd hate to see how much higher it will go here. No wonder there is such a hardcore push on gas mileage lately in car commercials.

    Razer in the Olympics

    I'd be hard-pressed to ever see a boycott of the Olympic games, but I do think China is the last place on Earth where it should be held. As for Razer, "any publicity is good publicity", especially in China, where I'm sure they are not that well known.

    Where GPS has flaws...

    Reportedly, the driver of a charter bus carrying a high school girls' softball team decided to casually follow the soothing turn-by-turn directions that were being emitted from the nearby GPS unit rather than actually noticing the enormous clearance sign on the overpass ahead. I hate to say it...

    GT5 Prologue - Who has it?

    So... who all picked up GT5 Prologue? I downloaded it late last night, but wasn't able to give it a go until this afternoon. I do have to say that the download purchase experience was impressive. Despite being a 1.9GB download, it took no more than 90 minutes to fully download and install, so...

    Creative EAX vs. ASUS DS3D GX 2.0

    Congratulations on making one of the most ridiculous posts in our forums to date. Is it such a surprise that Creative's own EAX works better than an emulated version? If you check out our article list, you'd notice that we have never reviewed a single Creative product, out of the close to 600...

    Save cash? Purchase a full animal...

    http://lifehacker.com/380492/save-money-on-food-by-buying-whole-animals-and-other-extreme-saver-secrets Uber saver Mike Hegarty, a CPA in Des Moines, Iowa, says he saves $500 a year on meat by purchasing whole animals from local farms. In case you've never done it and you're having a hard time...

    ASUS Releases Ultra-Silent EN9600GT

    From our front-page news: If you've read either of our two 9600 GT reviews so far, you'd know that it's an absolutely stellar GPU for the price point. It's no 8800 GT, but it sure comes close, and that's without even taking overclocking into consideration. Neither card we have here is overly...

    Intel Demos 3.2GHz Nehalem at Shanghai IDF

    Hot is right... good thing it's starting off with a 45nm process. I still can't wait, though. I think it's going to be one of the most exciting CPU architecture launches in quite a while.

    Mixing ram..of sorts

    It's an odd combination, but like Kougar said, it should work no problem. Make sure you force 2T command rate though.

    Dell Admits Problematic 3008WFP's, Pulls Model from Web Sites

    I sure don't regret choosing the XHD3000 after all... but even that is being RMA'd as we speak. You can't win with a 30" monitor... I think it's a given.

    nvidia 9xxx series DVi to HDMI woes

    Interesting finding. If I have time tomorrow, I'll test HDMI with the 9800GTX on the XHD3000 and see what happens.

    Sharp Using the ATOM CPU

    Looks great, but $1,275 makes it one expensive gadget.

    $399 LEOPARD OS X COMPUTER, but for HOW LONG?

    I look forward to seeing this go to court, that's all I can say.

    Believe it or Not, Windows XP Has a Passionate Fanbase

    Isn't that a true kick in the pants? I had a good run (not that good) with my personal PC once... was at around 40 days and for some reason, the CD-Rom was stuck in an endless loop of open/close... I was forced to shut down and uninstall it.

    Just How Impressive is the RED Epic's Resolution?

    RAW simply means "lossless" and the actual format can vary between camera to camera. RAW file extensions will always be different depending on the make, as well. Haha, and grats on 1K!

    Creative EAX vs. ASUS DS3D GX 2.0

    Not long ago, we received word from ASUS that they had managed to incorporate EAX effects into the drivers of their Xonar cards. Soon afterward, Creative told everyone that was false, and that ASUS "EAX" was not true EAX. Who's telling the straight story, and will you even notice a difference...

    Maxtor Shared Storage II 1TB

    Some sites infect PC's with trojans, Techgage infects PCs with death, apparently. Did you try unplugging the power and network cable both from the back for a minute or two? It could be that the NAS kicked itself off the network somehow, so resetting it like that might help.

    Seagate Savvio 15K - Next Gen Enterprise Drive?

    Geez man, you really do live for power, don't you?! Sadly, having not worked with these drives (Seagate never sent them), I cannot add anything valuable to this thread. I'd love to hear more about this once you get them installed though.

    NVIDIA GPU Physics close...

    It was big news when NVIDIA snatched up AGEIA, but what's happened since? Well, NVIDIA has been busy working to port the PhysX libraries to Cuda, and according to Tom's Hardware, things are coming along nicely. While Intel's Nehalem demo had 50,000-60,000 particles and ran at 15-20 fps (without...
