    Fastest DDR3 on the market?

    I just received some new Kingston 2GB DDR3 which might just be the fastest stock-speed kit on the market, at DDR3-1375 (PC3-11000) speeds. Yes, a company has already broke JEDEC standard which tops out at DDR3-1333. I am unsure of the timings, but I assume it will be somewhere in the 9-9-9...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

    I guess I haven't played enough Fallout to understand the relation. To be honest, I also thought it was just an FPS until I played it, heh. I went strictly by the screenshots.

    Interview with Tom Anderson of Novint

    Over the past few years, one of the most interesting pieces of hardware that we have looked at has been the Falcon from Novint. Originally seen at the 2006 GDC in San Jose, the Falcon instantly grabbed our attention with not only its unique design, but more importantly, the features that made...

    That list lost all credibility when Techgage wasn't listed. But congrats to OCZ for making the list :)

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

    Welcome to your next post-apocalyptic adventure. Taken place after the Chernobyl power plant disaster, this game effectively mixes the FPS and RPG genre together, and does so quite well. You can read our review here and discuss it here.

    Corvette Sedan?

    I was thinking the exact same way, but I felt hypocritical. When the Porsche Cayenne was first announced, I asked "WTH is Porsche thinking??" but when it was finally released, I didn't mind it at all. It wasn't a sports car, but it was one of the best looking SUVs I've ever seen. But I have to...

    Corvette Sedan?

    Ok, ok. Breathe slowly and relax. Just because Bob Lutz isn't opposed to a four-door Corvette, doesn't mean GM will build a four-door Corvette. But they might. There you go again with the hyperventilating. Just chill. Sure, Porsche built an SUV and will soon have their own super-sedan, but it...

    Intel P35 and G33 Chipsets

    Intel has now officially released their P35 and G33 chipsets, so we are going to take a look at what they offer to the consumer. In addition to DDR3 support, there are a few other features to take note of, such as increased bandwidth and Intel Fast Memory Support which effectively lowers...

    SATA Hard drive and SATA CD/DVD Burner

    I have two Pioneer S-ATA DVD burners and I've never had a problem having them be detected in the BIOS or with installing Windows off of them. I have used them both using eVGAs 680i and Intel XBX2. Older boards may have trouble, but the newer ones seem to handle them fine.

    Dukes of Hazzard... Camaro?

    I'm not a Camaro fan, at least of the recent ones, but this one is actually nice looking. It doesn't come close to the General Lee, but kudos to the seller anyway. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250115583898

    Show off your desktop!

    Yes a lot of icons will cause increased latency. This was more of a problem with older computers though (>2000). If you pile up your desktop with a bunch of hi-res icons, it could be a noticeable performance hit. If you don't feel one, then it's not a problem.

    Show off your desktop!

    I decided to take a few minutes and make my theme not so ugly.

    Mixing two kinds of RAM

    GMH are 333MHz chips, but that doesn't really matter. It depends on the company and what they decide to bin them at. 333MHz is just the official stock speed that comes out of Micron. My 4GB Super Talent 6400 kit does the same thing though... defaults to DDR2-667 for some reason. But, when I...

    Mixing two kinds of RAM

    Did you check the SPD for both the Ballistix and Buffalo and see if the lowest entry is vastly different? From what I recall, Ballistix PC2-8000 memory will have 400MHz 4-4-4 as the lowest SPD, which means the Buffalo might be trying to push the same. If that kit can't handle those speeds, it...

    Mixing two kinds of RAM

    I would reset your BIOS before installing the memory. If you can't boot, just use one stick of memory to get into your BIOS and reset it entirely, or just manually change all the memory related options back to auto. -If- all goes according to plan, when you boot up, all four sticks should be...

    LTB MG51 Magnum 5.1 USB Headset

    Sound. To a gamer it's the hinge pin of gaming. You need it to survive and with the advent of multi channel sound solutions there's no excuse for living with old school 2.0 setups, even when you're lanning or trying to game without disturbing others. Today we take a look at a set of headphones...

    Chevy Camaro Convertible Concept

    If I was a little older I might feel that way, but for some reason I've never liked the look. To be honest though, I don't like most older cars. I tend to love the modernized versions though ;-)
