    ASUS G1S 15.4" Gaming Notebook

    Hmm, that's strange. I have not seen Ultimate referenced anywhere... it's all been Home Premium. Might you have the G1 and not the G1S? I -believe- the G1 and G2P came with the Ultimate edition, but I'm not positive. As for XP, I am hoping ASUS will provide drivers for it soon. Normally they...

    BioShock Activation Revoke Tool Released

    Not that I agree with piracy, but the game companies are almost forcing people to go that route. Why install a game that you -know- installs things you don't want, when you can download it and not worry about a thing? Honestly, these game devs need to get a clue, and quick. I'm just glad that...

    Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6

    Thanks for the nice comments :) The lack of SLI is so foolish, I find. It's due to the lack of a certain switch on the motherboard, which I assume costs next to nothing. I'm no business major, but I'd assume it would be a smart idea for NVIDIA to support SLI on all motherboards. All it means to...

    Palm Centro Smartphone Available and Reviewed

    From our front-page news: One product that turned heads at DigitalLife a few weeks ago was Palm's $99 Smartphone. According to the official company blog, it is now available, but only for Sprint's EvDO network. It appears that $99 is the result of rebates, hopefully none of which require an...

    OpenOffice.org 3.0 Wants to Compete with Outlook

    From our front-page news: Being a Linux user, I am sometimes limited to what I want to do, especially when it comes to creating sparkly graphs for our reviews, which is why I choose to use Office 2007 on the Windows machine. But a recent announcement by the OOo folks intrigues me. At a recent...

    From our front-page news: Here's a solution to a problem you likely didn't even know existed. The PC version of BioShock apparently limits the amount of times you can install the game on your PC. Like Windows, this number will cease to exist if major hardware is swapped inside your rig. The...

    ASUS G1S 15.4" Gaming Notebook

    Sabayon Linux RC2

    You don't need to be familiar with Gentoo at all, to be honest, unless you want to update applications and the system through the package manager. Normally, whenever a new version of SL is released, you can just download and upgrade using it, which will take care of all the updates. SL normally...

    Vantec SATA/IDE to USB Adapter

    "I can't believe you" think that fixing Windows has anything to do with reviewing hardware. It doesn't. That said, my suggestion to him was the result of not reading his inquiry better. I thought he had a non-bootable system, which would render Ghost useless. As for your second ponder, Matt can...

    3-Way SLI coming?

    After I created this thread, I had a craving for more UT3, so I decided to do a few tests while I was at it. It turns out that the game did have maxed out graphics. Sadly, the game doesn't give fine control over graphical settings, such as AA. It simplifies things to a slider bar. Therefore...
