    ASUS PG221 22-inch Wide-Screen

    While I recommend this display for those who are trying to conserve space (or those who simply love a great-looking product), I'd quicker recommend an alternative for everyone else. 24-inch screens are going down in price rapidly, and 1920x1200 is a definite sweet-spot. You could pick one of...

    Please Recommend a MoBo for Intel Q6600!

    RAM for Asus Maximus Formula?

    32-bit OS' can only recognize 4GB of RAM or less... normally 3.5GB or 3.0GB, so for a full 4GB to function properly, you will need the 64-bit OS. As for recommendations, either Corsair or OCZ will treat you well. For the best performance, I'd recommend 4x1GB, because they are able to use tighter...

    Honeywell Introduces HDMI to Cat5/6 Converter

    From our front-page news: Honeywell probably isn't a name that first comes to mind when dealing with home video equipment, but lately they've been introducing some interesting products. In late August, they announced a "self-healing" HDMI cable, which corrects HDCP and EDID data before it...

    Spike Video Game Awards Show Results

    From our front-page news:Spike TV is a network that came out of nowhere and somehow became a trusted source for video games. How this happened, I'm unsure. Questions aside, their awards show, Spike Video Game Awards, is now an event looked forward to by gamers everywhere. Their fourth aired last...

    From our front-page news: The ASUS Eee has been selling incredibly well in the marketplace, and it's not much of a surprise. The ultra-portable notebook weighs only 2lbs, has sufficient capabilities and costs only $400. What's not to love? Well, the warranty was an issue... until now. Ambitious...

    Lexus Sues Another Pornstar Over Name

    From our front-page news: Companies who sue small companies over frivolous matters is nothing new, but this is one of the more <strike>humorous</strike> hilarious ones. Lexus, who sued a pornographic actress earlier this year for using their namesake as a stagename, is now apparently so bored...

    CompUSA Officially Closing Up Shop

    From our front-page news:I grew up and still live in Canada, so I am not familiar with CompUSA at all. However, it's easy to see the impact it had on B&M stores since it's first opening in 1984. The franchise closed many stores earlier this year, so the writing was on the wall. The rest of the...

Equipped with the extra memory, the EN8800GT is destined to allow the highest of resolutions while keeping maximum quality settings. Of course this is said of all cards, but...

    Logitech Wireless Music System

    It's hard to fault them for not releasing Vista drivers for a product they don't even sell anymore. Sure, it would be nice, but Logitech has never been known for being quick to release drivers for anything. I remember when x64 came out. I think it took a year before there were compatible drivers.

    Time Crisis 4 Requires Purchase of Two Games for Two-Player Action

    Was there more than one Area 51 in the arcades? There was one I used to play all the time... it was a huge quarter-sucker, but good.

    ASUS PG221 22-inch Wide-Screen

    Smaller displays don't need to lack features, and ASUS proves this with their PG221 22-inch wide-screen. It boasts such specs as 2ms GTG, 2000:1 and stellar design. Where its unique though, is with it's large subwoofer. Yes, we said subwoofer! Do the features make up for it's higher price? You...

    Logitech Wireless Music System

    There are no drivers for Vista and will not be... you can still use the system in Vista, sans the drivers. I haven't tried this, but that's what Logitech is recommending everyone do.

    Time Crisis 4 Requires Purchase of Two Games for Two-Player Action

    "Makes me happy to not be a console owner." You let a single company with inane policies to decide whether or not you should be a console owner? That's like shrugging off Honda cars because you hate Mugen. That aside, I do think it's ridiculous, especially since it was a game I was planning...

    SiN Episodes: Emergence

    The original SiN is a great game. When first released, it was one of those ":-O!" type games, where the game pushed certain barriers, namely with the graphics. I remember having a rough time with it on my PC when it was first released. Aside from that, it's a difficult game, but has some solid...

    Steam Portal

    I have... never played it. Or TF2. I am not a true gamer. I've heard fantastic things about Portal though... it seems like a solid offering.

    SiN Episodes: Emergence

    Not sure, I haven't looked around for some. I enjoyed Episode 1 quite a bit, it's just too bad it didn't pan out the way they wanted it to. They should have promised a 3-episode game, like Half-Life: Episode, instead of a whopping nine. They sunk their own ship before the first episode released...

    Amarok 2 for Windows Pre-Alpha - Now With Sound!

    From our front-page news: I began using Linux full-time about eighteen months ago, and since then I've come to enjoy it so much that I've have a very difficult time moving back to Windows if I had to. Oddly enough, one of the reasons is thanks to a single application: Amarok. It might sound odd...
