Thanks for the link! Since the width is a lot better... I think that would fit. I'll look for it on a Canuck e-tailer since I need to order a few things already.

So... that gives me more time to actually play Crysis.

I don't think it's much of a secret... we love to overclock. In fact, the sad fact is that most of us overclock first thing, post-install. We don't care about the performance at stock... we want to see how far we can push the thing and hope we don't break something :-D So the question I have...

Fedora is indeed a descendant of Red Hat, but is more community-oriented... and free. Red Hat 9 is old, so I wouldn't base opinions off of it, to be honest. That was the last version as "Red Hat Linux"... it's now known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and is now at version 5. Fedora is a split of...

I have no idea to be honest how to pull this off, since I'm sure it's not an option within the game. I assume you need to set HDR inside the game, and then hit up the NVIDIA Control Panel as per Merlin's suggestion, and edit the Oblivion-specific profile. There, you could force an...

Well said. Crime is never going to just disappear, but any advance in technology to help prevent more and more of it is only a good thing. You might just come to appreciate it if it's your notebook that's stolen. Obviously that place doesn't have much of an IT department. I think even my own...

Bump! For music, I couldn't recommend the ASUS Xonar enough. I admit that I do not have a basis for comparison, but it's so far better than onboard audio, it's a no-brainer to me. It might all depend in the speakers or headphones, of course. I use higher-end headphones most of the time, and...

linnerd40, did you ever end up picking up the sound card and/or headphones?

Congrats on the new rig bro, that thing is going to kick serious ass! That is incredibly true, and a fact I tend to always overlook when recommending parts to someone (sorry Andy!). Every time you say something like that, the TG Forums cry a little.

This is a fantastic project, Merlin! I wish I had a house to have to worry about a project like this... it would be fun (and of course, smart as well). Personally, I would love to know if a system like this exists for cars. Since cars are so tempting to be broken into, having some sort of...

I didn't mean that I paid $100 for what I have... mine is something around $45. I'm sure I mentioned it before, but when I first acquired a DSL connection in '98/'99, it came in at 3Mbit and cost $43 a month. So, it's kind of sad that 10 years later, prices have not come down much at all...

NewEgg is offering Palit's version of the 9600 GT for $149.99, which includes a mail-in-rebate to bring the total price down to $109.99. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814261002 This... is a tremendous deal. Bear in mind that one of these cards can run Crysis just fine...

Hah, nice!

From our front-page news: Late March, we posted about a new Sonic game that was en route. Although at the time, nothing was official, and the sources were still sketchy, despite having a detailed trailer available. We have to wonder no more, however, as Sega has finally made the game official...

From our front-page news: Notebooks are great for offering computing on the go, but at the same time, the portability can also be a downside. The more the notebook is out of the house, the greater the chance that it could get stolen, even if you only take your eye off of it for a minute. I've...

We were so impressed with the Central Axis upgrade for the Shared Storage II at CES that we thought we'd check out the NAS itself prior to the official launch of that software. With 1TB of storage, will the SSII warrant a purchase, with it's higher price point? You can read Matt's full...

From our front-page news: While not a sign of PC gaming as a whole, the news that EA is pulling Madden 2009 out of the PC is big news regardless. If I had to guess the reason, I would assume it to be that sport games on the PC tend to suck, and from my experience, the graphics, despite being on...

From our front-page news: I admit I've had to sign some odd NDA's and EULA's in the past in order to acquire either a piece of hardware or software under embargo, but never, not once, have I been asked to sign a EULA for purchasing a product on a public e-tailer. BoingBoing has posted news about...

From our front-page news: The Intel Developer Forum is the place to be to get sneak-peeks of what Intel has up their sleeves, but that's a given. IDF in Shanghai is taking place right now, and Intel has wasted no time in breaking out the Nehalem and impressive specs. The demo chip was...
