Thanks for dropping by! The P5N-E SLI includes BETA Vista drivers, which were used during testing. I forgot to make mention of this, but it's more fun to receive comments like yours this way.

Thanks, I added an addendum regarding this. You have been hit worse than I have. 40FPS lower on avg is a huge deal. I didn't run the Stress Test that's built into HL2... I am not even sure I knew there was one. I'd give it a test now, but that computer is busy crunching numbers for another...

You are not the first person to request this... I don't play the game, but I will get ahold of it for future testing. So... I won't have results right away, sorry for the inconvenience.

Good point, I did word that poorly. Of course it's capable, the goal was to show "differences". I still wouldn't jump to say it would run all older games fine, since I ran into a few problems with a few older games that either ran sluggish, flickered or not at all.

I am not familiar with either, but from what I understand, this is what each has: Basic: Remote Assistance Home Premium: Remote Assistance Business: Remote Desktop Ultimate: Remote Desktop I'm not sure of the difference, but like I said, I never used either before. I assume Remote Desktop is a...

Don't worry about Vista if it's already on its way.. hopefully it will treat you better than it did me. It could prove better with a different GPU... I wish I had two G70s to test with. I noted HL2 specifically in the article, that's a game I had problems with ever since the RTM came out. What...

Hey man, Yeah that's no problem at all. The bootloader knows what OS is stored where. It may become a problem in the future if you wanted to get rid of one of the installations though. Vista is very picky, so if you remove an OS or a partition, you would probably have to go into the Vista...

Will using Vista put a damper on your gaming addiction? Using the Beta 2 this past summer, we saw rather large performance decreases. Now that Vista is finally out, have things been improved? You can read the full article here and discuss it here.

He wants to know if the keyboard can do looped macros, without using a third party application. Chances are you won't be able to though, as it -may- be seen as a way to seriously cheat in a game. Maybe not, I could be wrong. Greg is going to check his keyboard on Monday and see if it has the...

Windows Ultimate upgrade costs $259USD regardless of what version of XP you own. So, XP Pro to Ultimate is that price mentioned above. I'm not sure where the $139USD quote came from, but if you had Vista Business, it would cost $99 (I believe) to upgrade to Ultimate. So... it's expensive...

Maybe Greg will know more about this, since he has the G15. I gave the G11 to my mom because I couldn't stand pushing the G keys instead of the CTRL/Shift when working on stuff ;-) I will ping him and see if he knows.

Quick Shutdown/Restarts If you are someone who enjoys shutting down or restarting their computer often, you could create a new shortcut on the desktop to make the process quicker. To do so, create a shortcut and use this as the code: shutdown -r -t 0 shutdown -s -t 0 Setting up your PC as a...

For any advanced macros, I normally use AC Tool: http://www.actool.net/ It uses a custom scripting language, but it's easy to follow. It was designed for Asheron's Call, but I've used it for far more than that.

Intel said the first products to use this technology will likely be 35W mobile CPUs, with servers and desktops to follow depending on platform readiness. If your wondering if your motherboard will support Penryn, Intel expects some motherboard developers will have to make minor modification to...

We reported a while back about how OC Team Italy had unpacked it golden Pentium 4 631 to throw some liquid nitrogen on it. With a non-modified ASUS P5B motherboard they managed to reach a whopping 7520MHz, but pointed out that the motherboard made it impossible to go any further. Now that they...

It would be wise to compare the power usage of a 5,400 drive compared to 7,200 though. If you are on the road a -lot-, then a drive that has a bigger power draw is not going to make things enjoyable. Perhaps that's why my laptop has a > 2 hour battery life... I don't know.

Even the P5N-E SLI is a good budget board... $150 and it can hit 500FSB for a joke. It's just too bad it's horrible with RAM.

Seagate should be releasing some new drives shortly (at least I believe so) for notebooks that automatically encrypt the data so that it will be kept safe should your notebook or the drive be stolen. Question I ask is... how important is this kind of security with you guys? Personally, I'd love...

Haha, that looks pimp. Goes well with the 120mm fan beside it. Have you found it to make a noticeable difference in the rams temp? Do the modules still burn your fingers off? The only thing I notice, is that it seems like it is a single fan... so does it even target both opposite ends of the...

http://www.razerzone.com/Products/Gaming-Audio/Razer-Mako-2.1-Advanced-Desktop-Audio/ Ok first off, Greg and I saw these at CES a few weeks ago and were equally impressed. I can't say that I was expecting it though. Not that Razer produces poor products (they don't), it's that normally when...
