    First Drive of the Tesla Roadster

    From our front-page news: If there is one car that has been getting a lot of publicity over the past year, it would be the electric-powered Tesla Roadster. It's all for good reason, too. Easy on gas, better for the environment... and best of all, it's gorgeous. Until now, not many from the press...

    Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L

    There are few P31-based motherboards on the market, but as we find out, it's well-deserving of some attention. The board we are taking a look at today hovers around $100, but despite it's value status, it's a great offering. You can read my full review here and discuss it here.

    Your Top 2007 Music?

    I was at the music store the other day, so I finally decided to pick that album up, despite not being a real fan of the band at all. I figured there must be some substance to all the hype. Normally, I am into faster-paced bands, not mellow, like Radiohead. However, after listening to In Rainbows...

    AMD Releases Dual-GPU on a Single Card: HD 3870 X2

    From our front-page news: The past year for AMD's graphics division hasn't exactly been that peachy, but things began to shape up with the launch of the mid-range 3850 and 3870 cards a few months ago. The problem with that launch, though, was the fact that both cards were mid-range... with no...

    Intel's X48 Unlocks Insane Tweaking-Abilities

    From our front-page news: We've discussed Intel's imminent X48 launch for a few months now, but the date is coming ever closer. Two to three weeks is the given estimate, and from what we can see, it's going to be one refreshing "refresh". AnandTech has taken the new ASUS Rampage Formula for a...

    Is HD DVD Dead? Promotional Group Sure Doesn't Think So

    From our front-page news:HD DVD sure can't catch a break since Warner's decision to cease production on the format. If that decision wasn't enough to let people know that HD DVD was on the way out, the recent reports of the massive hardware sales decline sure helped. But, despite HD DVD going...

    Amazon MP3 Store to go International This Year

    From our front-page news: Since Amazon launched their online music store last September, they've done a great job of getting the attention they need, from both consumers and record companies alike. They now carry music from all four of the major labels and offer over 3 million songs, given them...

    Portable NES/GB/GBC console... powered by the sun!

    Alright, this thing looks quite cool as hell, especially given the price. I can't get over how crappy the screen looks though... it might be one of the reasons it's not such a good deal after all. It could also just be the pictures, I don't know. It might be easier to purchase a Nintendo DS...

    Vantec eSATA Products Roundup

    I mean, is it receiving power while connected via e-SATA? The drive might receive power via USB because it has built in power, but the e-SATA does not (as far as I recall). When hooked up to e-SATA, I'd just make sure that the drive is spinning (by touching it) and if so, then it sounds like...

    Vantec eSATA Products Roundup

    I guess it would be wise to just double-check and make sure the drive itself is receiving power. It could be just the enclosure that's turning on, and not the drive itself.

    Gigabyte and MSI Announce X48 Boards, But Not Launch

    Well, the P35/X38 chipsets do natively support both DDR2 and DDR3, as opposed to X48 which focuses on DDR3 only. The X48 chipset is designed strictly for enthusiasts, as the native DDR3-1600 label would suggest, so for DDR2 to be supported, I'd imagine that another chip would have to be added to...

    Gigabyte and MSI Announce X48 Boards, But Not Launch

    I'd like to know how the DDR2 functionality is being added on those boards, since the X48 chipset is supposed to support DDR3 only. Those boards look great though. We need to review one of their boards sometime...

    Antec P182 Performance Mid-Tower

    What model fans did you purchase? I don't have interest in cutting away on my case, but I'd sure love to have a slim fan that fits in that opening.

    DDR3 Price Premium to Shrink to 10% in 2H

    Interesting... that's one of the earliest kits on the market, because Kingston's new DDR3 use a fancier heat-spreader. I reviewed that same kit in a review last Summer: http://techgage.com/article/kingston_2gb_hyperx_ddr3-1375_cl7 Hopefully your kit is a little newer than the one I had, and...

    Zimbabwe releases $10 million bill

    "The bill is exactly the same color, layout and design as a $20 bill I've been carrying in my wallet since my trip to Zimbabwe 15 months ago... When I wrote about that $20, it was worth about $0.025 USD - a silly amount of money to represent with a bill, but still a functional piece of currency...

    Gigabyte and MSI Announce X48 Boards, But Not Launch

    From our front-page news: When will we see Intel X48? That is the question, and a good one. At this point, I am not sure when the market penetration will begin, but it should be within the next two - three weeks, but that's a hunch. I'll be receiving the Gigabyte board (pictured) shortly, so I...

    Ati x1650pro agp512m Blackout !?

    Hmm. Does the computer stall at other times, or is it just with gaming? Does it happen with all games, or just specific titles? At first glance, it looks more like a software issue than a hardware issue, but it's hard to say since the GPU is apparently not the problem. Just to take care of one...

Simply put, DisplayLink adapters allow you to extend your current computer setup by adding additional displays, with the help of USB. As ridiculous as it sounds...
