    Canadian ISP (Rogers) Begins Testing Content Injection

    The Extreme is not much of a jump from Express either, which makes the extra $8 seem like a waste. Of course, I think they are selling the extra bandwidth allowance than the actual speed difference. I might try out the Extreme Plus in the future, maybe after the new PC is built. I don't have an...

    Canadian ISP (Rogers) Begins Testing Content Injection

    As far as I know, most ISPs charge users extra if they go over their monthly allowance, which in most cases is 60GB. Anything over is $1.50 per, which really, is not too unreasonable. When I first got a DSL connection in 1999, it cost $43.00 per month for 5GB of bandwidth per month. Each...

    Asus Maximus Formula and Tuniq Tower 120 Cooler

    I am just building a simple machine... just one I use for work. I have a spare P5K lying around, so I am just going to use that one, with 4GB of RAM, X3210 2.13GHz Quad-Core and a 64-Bit Linux OS. It will still be a huge jump from the Athlon 3200+ I am using now. [Edit: Hah, I didn't know you...

    First Unreal Tournament III Patch Released

    From our front-page news: It figures! I've owned this game since launch, but haven't had time to load it up. Now, it appears I've taken so to get around to it, that the latest patch made it out before it happened. Well, I am a sad being, but you will not be sad when installing the beastly...

    Asus Maximus Formula and Tuniq Tower 120 Cooler

    I wish I had some good advice for you... I haven't tried out that combo. I doubt the Tuniq would be a problem. They build these boards with overclocking in mind, so they should have left sufficient room. I am building a new PC as well and decided on a Thermalright 120 eXtreme. It came highly...

    Canadian Copyright Bill Delayed

    From our front-page news: Canadian tech-enthusiasts cringed in unison this past week as a fresh DMCA bill was set to be passed this week. If passed, it would mimic the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which could result in stricter laws and harsher penalties. Up until now, Canadians have not...

    AMD Streches Power Consumption Truths

    From our front-page news: It's a good thing that their ATI division is starting to shape back up, because AMD themselves are having one heck of a difficult year. Most of the problems have been directly linked to their Barcelona processors, with no solutions (in the form of a revision) until...

    From our front-page news: Although the first patents for transistors happened long before December 16, 1947, it was William Shockley of Bell Labs who first delivered the first efficient transistor with the help of a few colleagues.

    RAM for Asus Maximus Formula?

    It's been a while since I've used DDR2, it seems. CL5 is the most common, and it's not bad. If you want tighter latencies without overclocking, stick to DDR2-800 speeds. Here are a few sticks I recommend if you don't mind overclocking to hit CL4 at DDR2-1066...
