    ATI TV Wonder HD 600 PCI & HD 650 Combo USB

    AMD recently released two new ATI TV Wonder HD tuners, both of which have been in our lab for the past few months. In that time, we've put them through numerous tests to see what each one was made of. While the 600 PCI left a bit to be desired, the 650 Combo USB proves to do a lot of things...

    Loudest machine on the planet?

    Just a note that a recent BIOS update seems to fix the fact that the machine was ultra-loud. For some reason, the original BIOS kept the fans at full speed, but now it's actually quite reasonable.

    Yeah, the paint job on that one is a lot more to my liking. Still a little overdone though.

    Palit GeForce 8800GT Super+1GB

    We've been fans of NVIDIA's 8800 GT since launch, and Palit helps us remember why. Though utilizing reference clocks, the Super+1GB doubles the competitions memory, but as we found out, it's difficult to see a difference. Overclocking yields far better results, and luckily, this card delivers...

    US Pension Plans Sue Yahoo! for Rejecting Microsoft's Offer

    I don't care who purchases Yahoo! to be honest, but I'd MUCH rather it be Microsoft than Google. I am quite certain Microsoft would not be willing to part with $40,000,000,000 to go and screw up a company. That's far too big of an investment.

I personally have no need to do something like this with the PS3, since the PS3 and my PC are connected to the same display. It's simple to switch between them, so there's little...
