    Bah humbug

    I don't celebrate Christmas or any other holiday, but I couldn't help but burst out laughing over this article: http://www.slate.com/id/2155906 A contract consultant sends word that the company to which he is currently assigned recently sent out an e-mail to some 2,000-odd consultants. The...

    Overclocking the E6300

    I hear you and it's too bad. I have never dealt with tech support (even before the website) so I don't really have experience to back up my thoughts. The -worst- company I've ever dealt with would have to have been BFG Tech. I had to RMA a GPU, and the one they gave me back had a short in it and...

    Seasonic Power Angel

    I wonder why they don't have that functionality to begin with? That would be a wicked gadget :\

    Overclocking the E6300

    I can't speak with experience regarding their BIOS release schedule. I've been lucky so far. I haven't needed a new BIOS.. my M2N32-SLI and P5WD2-E were great right out of the box. This BIOS problem is not a small one as far as I am concerned. It's a budget board, yes. But when people buy...

    Overclocking the E6300

    I received an E6300 quite a while ago, but finally got around to getting a board to go with it. This is the smallest C2D CPU and costs around $190 on NewEgg. The motherboard I am using is a new one from ASUS, the P5N-E SLI. This board is based on the new 650i chipset, and has some downsides but...

    AllofMp3.com Sued for $1.65 Trillion?

    I haven’t been able to find information on the largest lawsuit in history but I’m sure this one is right up at the top. The RIAA (yes, I was just as shocked as you) is suing the website AllofMP3.com on behalf of EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music, and Warner Music in the amount of $150,000 for each...

    Logitech has released quite a few "revolutionary" products this year, and plan to finish 2006 off with their diNovo Edge keyboard. They claim it's the most technologically advanced keyboard available and is probably one of the most expensive. Is it worth your time and money? You can read the...

    ASUS EAX1950PRO 256MB

    I will experiment with colors in the next review. I personally liked the orange ones.. I may have been the only one. I'm glad this has come up. I just don't want to use colors that make the graphs even uglier than they are. I'll see what I can do...

    Question about different RAM Stick

    It can matter. Just be aware of the RMA policy in case you get a stick that disagrees with what you have. Even at the same specs, different sticks of ram can have different memory chips. One may have Micron while the other may use Elpida. If that's the case, chances are you will have issues...

    Beginners Guide to Linux Desktops

    Hey BanjoBoy, Thanks for the nice comment. I should have closed that portion before I snapped the screenshot, because it's a plugin for SuperKaramba, not a part of KDE. I once found the plugin base somewhere, but I can't remember which site. Basically, it's a .theme file and you can just edit...

    Building my 2nd Computer Soon...

    That is strange as hell that NZXT didn't include enough screws. I didn't have that problem with mine, back in the day. http://techgage.com/viewimg.php?img=/reviews/nzxt/apollo/nzxt_apollo_20.jpg&desc=NZXT%20Apollo%20(Orange)
