From our front-page news: Earlier this month, we reported on a story where James Randi was putting audiophiles to the test with a $1 million dollar prize. This all began because of an audio editor who highly recommended a pair of $7,250 Pear Anjou speaker cables, noting they were far better than...

From our front-page news: I've built little in my time, and I blame the reason on my not planning things through. Apparently that's not the case for a Nigerian man, who built a HOMEMADE HELICOPTER. Being a physics undergraduate, Mubarak wanted to build some vehicle and actually found it cheaper...

I can't believe someone else enjoyed those games as well! Those are two games that I go back to every few years and attempt to play through. Willow in particular was an incredible game. Had awesome music, cool monsters, and it was the movie that helped me beat the game. I had no idea how to beat...

From our front-page news: Considering the fact that the PS2 is still selling well in the marketplace, it's hard to imagine that the console is actually dying. But according to reports, software sales fell 47% in September over last year, whereas August was 33%. For one month, that's quite a...

From our front-page news: A recent Apple hiring spree is now making more sense, as reports are that over 800 employees have been sacked. The cause? When Apple released those $100 iPhone rebates, it turns out that all of these employees partook in them as well. The only problem is, they got their...

The achievements system is for the PC. Notice the menu option?

Or HL Deathmatch!

Very entertaining... and definitely not an accomplishment I care to ever achieve.

The RRoD was no doubt a pain in the ass, but I am doubtful you would have waited well over a year to purchase a more expensive version of the console just because it includes HD-DVD. But that aside, I've never seen HD content on a standard def television, but I assume it's similar to playing an...

Futureshop is horrible. It's the Best Buy of Canada, because they are owned by Best Buy. I buy very little there... music is one of them because they have great deals sometimes ($8 a pop) and perhaps blank media. When it comes to anything big though, I don't purchase unless I am not afraid to...

You got that right, haha.

From our front-page news: Oh Canada, what the hell? If a new measure goes through, it means that those who purchase legal music online (iTunes, Puretracks, etc) will be taxed. The requested charges would be $0.021 per individual song or $0.015 per song if a full album is purchased. Users of...

From our front-page news: According to DigiTimes, the ASUS Eee is going to cost more than we originally anticipated, at around $360USD. Part of this is due to the fact that the 7" LCD panels cost more than expected. The other part is the fact that the US was never meant to see the $199 version...

From our front-page news: Considering that NBC broke up with Apple early last month, it should be no surprise that they've also just broken up with YouTube. But, it's hard to put the blame at them since they are going to be launching their own online video site shortly, which is supposed to...

From our front-page news: It looks like the Xbox 360 might become even more of a media center, come next year. Rumor is that Toshiba is working with Microsoft on a brand new Xbox 360 console, which will include an HD-DVD player. Of course, this is what most were expecting the original 360...

From our front-page news: The Ring is an ultimate test for any car and all drivers. It offers intense corners, constant change in elevation and one massive straight-away that allows most cars to hit their top speed before reaching the end. It's no surprise that so many car manufacturers use the...

From our front-page news: Half-Life 2: Episode Two has been out for close to two weeks now, so there's a good chance most players have by now finished it. But did you truly finish it? You may have noticed that Valve included a whack of achievements to unlock throughout your adventure, and one in...

I am not sure where my head is sometimes. I uninstalled the Maximus Formula motherboard to reinstall the P5E3 in order to double-check some performance results. Once the P5E3 was installed, it clicked in that I forgot to take pictures of the BIOS for the Formula, which our reviews always...

55C is not too bad, though it should be better I'd think. I blame part of it on the waterblock I am using. It's been swapped so often that it's not half as smooth as it used to be. The Quad-Core hits 98C regularly, so 55C is nothing.

With the E6750, I was able to hit 490FSB with the exact same voltages. Still doesn't seem stellar, but I am going to put the P5E3 back in tonight and see how far I can make it with that. Perhaps X38 boards are simply not going to go that high. Fastest I've seen so far in another review has been...
