It still impresses me that you have a great download speed but remain with a lackluster upload speed. The two numbers just seem to conflict with each other. Is there a real reason ISP's don't offer high upload speeds (besides Nate's fiber)? I'm still more than happy with 8MBit down... but I'd...

I guess I did make the PM function a bit difficult (it requires 10 posts to reduce PM spam). You could e-mail me at rob.williams at tg (replace at tg with the obvious). You should stick around... we need more punk rock fans here. And yes, I love that Bad Religion song... all eight lines of it...

Despite Creative being a leader in PC audio, their stature as such is being comprised with newcomers releasing superb offerings. To make matters worse, they've just added to the pile by banning modded X-Fi/Audigy drivers, a move that received an outstanding response from the community. You can...

NVIDIA's 9600 GT card is a great offering for the price range, but ASUS ups the ante by offering a TOP version that adds 70MHz to the core and 100MHz to the memory. Add in HDMI support and the ability to overclock the card even higher... then the EN9600GT TOP proves to be a great offering. You...

Apples require proprietary hardware for the mostpart, though it's not as bad as it used to be. Nowadays, you can pick up a Mac and install your own memory and a new CPU... and even have a wider GPU selection. But, Apple still doesn't offer up the motherboards to system builders, and likely never...

Having an error like that without overclocking is unusual. Even if the game can't handle a certain resolution, I see no reason why it would crash. The big problems are over with. In the early Vista days, you had to be very careful, else you might wind up with a broken system. I am glad those...

An online version of Maya? That would be painful to use, given the amount of required resources. It can be slow as a stand-alone... so seeing it online won't happen anytime soon.

MacMan, if you want to make yourself believe that right-clicking and then adding a tab is easier than just clicking an add tab button, you are fooling yourself. I have an add tab button directly to the left of my quick bookmarks pane, and also have the ability to double-click anywhere in the...

Lightsmark really isn't a benchmark that should be used for hard results of any kind... it just doesn't seem that accurate, SLI or not. I overclocked a GPU a fair amount and the score barely rose... it doesn't make much sense to me. Lightsmark is cool to watch and well-designed, but I think...

The sad thing is that the regular consumer falls for this. I used to work with someone that thought that having a card with more memory was always a good thing. He went out to purchase an "upgrade", which actually turned out to be a downgrade. He only bought it because it had more memory, and...

I had no idea there was such thing as a boot-time defragger... sorry for doubting you! Even with overclocking, I find it odd that it would show up each and every time. Once in Windows, have you stress-tested your overclock to see if it's stable? I haven't overclocked that much under Vista, but...

I agree... it's very hard to contemplate that only one-year-ago... DDR2 was far more expensive to purchase. It was one incredibly fast decline, that's for sure.

That's interesting. I don't think I've run into a system-specific issue like that since the DDR1 days. Back then, a few DFI boards were notoriously picky.

To date, that review has been our highest traffic speakers article, if that says anything. They are in high demand, even a year and a half after their launch.

Haha, I think a lot of us do the same thing.

Aye, that is old, and that girl is incredibly cute. http://www.pugetsystems.com/configliquid.php?app_type=w Today's prices can be even higher. In the above link, if you choose the Skulltrail motherboard and processor (QX9775, D5400XS) and upgrade to 8GB of memory, add dual 9800 GX2s and...

If you needed another reason to dislike the TSA, here it is: Hamlin, 37, said she was trying to board a flight from Lubbock to Dallas on February 24 when she was scanned by a Transportation Security Administration agent after passing through a larger metal detector without problems. The...

Did you need more proof that basically anything with a processor will get overclocked? The OLPC News blog took their machine and overclocked it from 433MHz to 566MHz, while also increasing the RAM speed from 166MHz up to 233MHz. They even give instructions on how to go it, but it's more...

From our front-page news: According to some fresh Microsoft reports, we can now see what caused most of the reported crashes after the consumer launch of Vista last January. Intel and ATI both claimed 9% of the responsibility each, according to Microsoft, while they themselves were responsible...

I'm somewhat tired of the fact that there are so many different mid-range (and even high-end now) cards available. It's no wonder novice computer builders get so confused... there are SO many freaking options. Then to top it off, there are a few models that just vary in memory size, from 256MB...
