    Overclocking the 8600M GT - Results

    Haha, nice overclock. I had bad experiences with overclocking mobile GPUs before, so I am staying away from it for now. When I first picked up my Dell notebook three years ago, I had such a massive overclock on it, that it doubled the 3D Mark 2001 score. Two dead LCDs later and one replaced GPU...

    First Gaming PCs Featuring 45nm Pop Up

    Personally I don't much care for a name to be plastered on the front of the case like that, but to each their own. I am very doubtful they'd sell it separately. I don't believe any boutique does that.

So far so good though. Sometimes the camera angle pushes the border on asinine, but it feels like it's going to be a fun...

    Are Gaming Magazines Going To Die?

    I think there will always be print magazines, but it's going to come to having little choice. I read a variety of magazines and enjoy each and every one of them for different reasons.
