    iPod... what is the attraction?

    I know you said it was flawed, but I elaborated on it. I am merely saying, lots of things cost MORE money than another thing, but usually the featureset or quality is the reason. With the iPOD, I just don't see the attraction. With the iPOD, don't you *have* to use iTunes to get the songs on the...

    iPod... what is the attraction?

    Yes, but does a $200 GPU perform like a $400 GPU? No, so that doesn't really explain why someone wants the best and pays $400 for an MP3 player. I still don't see what makes it the best either. Just because they market it more than anyone else doesn't mean it's better.

    Brando S-ATA/IDE USB Cable

    There are dozens of USB to IDE or SATA external drive enclosures on the market today. We take a look at a device that does SATA and IDE to USB conversion without an enclosure, the perfect piece of hardware for doing bench top drive testing...or is it? After reading Matts review here, discuss...

    Hmm. I still find it strange to crash on you with such a minor overclock. I gotta think about this one more..

    New Keyboard and Mouse

    Both of those are great products. I have only used the G5 briefly, but it was great. I am not usually a fan of lights on a keyboard, but Saitek does a fairly good job.

    Are you sure it's not a GPU problem then? Or.. does 3D Mark 05 crash at stock speeds? I cannot see THAT minor OC causing such a problem..

    iPod... what is the attraction?

    I for one, appreciate Apple. They have given a lot to the computer industry and are leaders in innovation. What I want to know is... why is the iPod so popular? It stores music... plays music... plays DRM-protected music... you can download music onto it... watch video on it... Oh and...

    Need some help here.

    Go here: http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us Type in your motherboard code to the left, and hit enter. Then click on BIOS when the tab comes up and download the latest one. I would first check CPU-Z and it's Mainboard tab. Look at the Date.. if it's older than...

    OCZ 2GB PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition

    Are you into combat games? Of course you are. Battlefield II, Call of Duty II... they are all over. OCZ has just released a new kit with their XTC spreader dressed up in some camoflauge. Because these are value modules, overclocking is a gamble. Let's see if these are as fast as they are...

    Well... I guess the question would be... Do you have the latest BIOS for your board?

    Need some help here.

    Do what Matt said. I assume you are running a CPU capable of 2.5GHz, so you should try: 1.45Vcore, 2.8Vdimm, 3-4-4-8 (cas-trcd-trp-tras), 200HTT, 10x multi, 1:1 divider. "Or maybe I just wasn't meant to overclock afterall..." That's foolish :P We will make a hardcore overclocker out of...

    AMD's 'Plan of Attack'

    I meant for Classy to be sarcastic. "Always changing, always shit talking." Yeah, AMD is awful good at that. My favorite quote came from Damon Munzy, "They chose the name "Core" for their new product which I don't really understand. It would be like Chevy coming out with the new engine line...

    Say hello to PC2-10000

    Welp, it was bound to happen sometime. TweakTown DDR2-1250 modules with 5-5-5-15 timings. To think the DDR2-800 modules I am using include the same stock timings.

    First Real HDCP NVIDIA Cards

    Since the whole ordeal of HDCP compliancy started, add-in board manufacturers are beginning to add HDCP decoding keys to products. One of the manufacturers with HDCP compliant cards on display at Computex 2006 is MSI. MSI has two NVIDIA based HDCP compliant cards on display -- a 7900GT and...

    AMD's 'Plan of Attack'

    Don't you think Intel will be much more competitive this time around, given that it's more a technology game? When we introduced Athlon (in 1999), that was a better product. They reacted by making a Pentium 4, saying we're going to go all the way to 10 gigahertz. That didn't work. This...
