    Red Vs. Blue

    Yeah, I remember now. No idea why, but red vs blue makes me think of the Matrix.

    Logitech G3 Laser Mouse

    If you are left handed, you know the trouble of finding a suitable gaming mouse. Logitech tries to mend that problem with their G3, an ambidextrous solution. Does it deliver the goods as well as the MX 510 and G5 though? After reading the review here, feel free to discuss it here!

    Who's playing with Vista?

    I've been toying with Vista ever since the Longhorn days, and I can say that things have gotten much better in Beta 2, but they still have a long way to go. I am currently working on a performance report regarding both versions of Vista and WinXP, and I can say that it seems XP has nothing to...

    Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024-8500

    tRAS generally wouldn't be a priority of mine, though usually if it tightens at all, you do not need to increase voltage to do so. tRAS can go either way... it will tighten up no problem, or not at all. I've had some DDR2 with tRAS 4, and some that wouldn't even POST if I went below 12...

    Wirless USB Adapter trouble!!!

    My friend had a similar problem, but it wasn't with USB. Once he updated his BIOS, his network worked perfectly. It's strange.

    Red Vs. Blue

    I don't think I've ever heard of it.

    Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024-8500

    Yes, please send it to me at rob.williams [at] techgage.com if you like. Of course, generally speaking, the tighter the timings, the better the results. DDR2-800 at 3-3-3 can usually perform better than DDR2-1000 with 4-4-4. Give or take a new MHz.

    Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024-8500

    Depends how much you want to be overclocking it really. 3-2-2 @ DDR2-800 sits around 2.0v minimum. To be honest, I am surprised it managed to see a tRCD 2 at all, but with extra volts it may help. I just wish my board went up to 2.6v. Even the original P5WD2 went up to at least 2.5v.

    Wirless USB Adapter trouble!!!

    I am starting to wonder if D-Link just makes bad routers. I have had two WiFi routers from them so far, and both of them like to kick my net off at random times. It always comes back right away, but it doesn't matter once it's already made my net application time out. I am two feet from the...

    Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024-8500

    No doubt in my mind. Yes, these are *very* popular chips lately. They are Micron D9GMH which are 333MHz. I personally know of five other companies that have started to utilize these. My Intel is currently back on Air cooling, but once I get water back, I will be giving them another shot. Some...

    Spire RockeTeer V 500W Power Supply

    Spire makes power supplies? We didn't realize this until recently, so we were more than happy to give one a run on our test bench. This is obviously a product with gamers in mind thanks to its SLi support. But wait... why only one PCI-E connector? Regarding Greg's review, if you have any...

    Wirless USB Adapter trouble!!!

    Well, since you mentioned the Firewall, maybe you will want to disable it JUST to see. Go into your Control Panel and disable it in there. You may want to see if there is a firmware update your router also. You could try ununinstalling the USB NIC driver completely, then re-installing.

    Imitation: The Sincerest Form of Flattery

    One time, I breathed, and someone else did a few minutes later. Just razzing you. Maybe they did steal your idea, I have no idea. PM the rep on that forum =)

    Half-Life 2: Episode 1

    Well, I -really- am expecting EP2 to be a lot better than this EP. We should be seeing the storyline unfolding far quicker in the second one, since this episode was merely a primer. It better be good.. the trailer was so cryptic :/

    Logitech Z-4 2.1 Speakers

    As far I as I know, you should be good to go. I believe these speakers only have the master sound cable to plug into the laptop. The other cords are for the satellites which plug into the woofer. If worse came to worse, you'd have to buy a sound card for your PCMCIA slot, but I am assuming you...

    Imitation: The Sincerest Form of Flattery

    I'll be the first to ask for a fill-in. I have no idea what that is familiar to. Cases with built-in water cooling aren't really that new.

    Half-Life 2: Episode 1

    Nothing I say is going to change your mind :D I am surprised you are that unhappy with it. Story lines that weren't finished bothered me also though. It's going to be -hard- to wait 6 or so months for the next episode.

    XG Magnum 600W External PSU

    Well, this is heat that will NOT be inside your computer. I believe that's the main point and goal of the Magnum. I agree with you though, fanless would be killer. Especially since it tends to look like a giant heatsink to begin with.

    iPod... what is the attraction?

    Aye, that's what I thought. I just hate iTunes in general, so I hate the fact that you need to use it to get songs on your iPOD. Could be just me, I dunno. Most MP3 players I have used allowed you to just copy to it like a normal drive.
