+1 for the Clerks clip.Also, while I do not do most of my gaming on it, I do game on my G5 iMac. It plays Diablo II just fine, and I played the recent Penny Arcade game on it. It's a 1.8GHz G5 20 ...

All this study says is that people spend more on Macs than PCs? That isn't really helpful. It's like doing a study and reporting that the Wii is cheaper than the PS3. You don't buy Apples base ...

I don't pirate games, but I also rarely buy a game without a demo. When I was younger (and poorer) I'd wait for most of the games I liked to hit the first discount, which was usually only a few week ...

The nForce 200 is a chip the connects to the Northbridge and delivers another 2 lanes of PCI-E 2.0 16X.One may ask why do you need the chip at all if the new Northbridge is pretty much just a PCI-E ...

SSD are ready for more users if they get the price under $2 a gig. At around a $1 a gig I'd think more people would be interested. A fast drive to hold your OS and a game or two would be ideal. ...

I'm going to guess it is a situation unique to the chip tested. Wait till Monday and I'm sure we'll have a more thurough grasp of the issue. ...

But I'd have to guess the 16:9 mode if supported will just toss 60 lines off the top and bottom. This is the future unfortunately. The glass cutters want to make all their displays from the templa ...
Any news on the Southbridge? on Nehalem Primer: What We Know So Far About Intel's Next-Gen Penryn Killer
Posted 07/31/2008 at 07:19:30pm
With USB 3.0 due to be anounced at the Intel conference in August is there any chance of us seeing an ICH11 with it before Christmas?
Also, is power expected to be down on the motherboards? I expe ...

Posted 07/30/2008 at 10:08:43am
Meridian sells Faroudja video, so this isn't a huge surprise. Both companies are known for doing a lot of science in their products. Faroudja has been making video scalers from the bad old NTSC days ...

So let's see.DX11 - since it will work on DX10 hardware nobody cares. My guess is that DX11 is either the standard for the X-Box 360 replacement when it comes, or a step in that direction. Letting ...

Anyone willing to build a system that can actually experience the difference between DX9 and DX10 can spring for an OEM copy of Vista. I was surprised that they expect people to be happy that DX10 h ...

Meebo has a Firefox plug-in that lets it run in a column to the right of your main browser window. The page itself is open in a tab, but the sidebar lets you know who IMed you when and the first par ...

With the next-gen iPhone rumored to be running an Intel Atom processor and Apple's connections with both ATI and nVidia, I can't say any of that surprised me. The biggest thing holding back cell pho ...

I wonder why not on the 4870? Maybe the additional memory helps the slower card more. I like the Zalman-style cooler too and look forward to the review. ...

Whether it is true or not, it means more 4870 and 4850s going out the door. If it was a huge issue we would have seen it. Likely there is a problem, but how much of one we won't know for a year or ...

After all Vista is not their fault. And the commercials aren't that funny. I am agnostic on the OS thing, I have two PCs and one Apple at home; a PC at work; and several Apple accoutrements. As ...

The retension bar looks bad on a a windowed unit like this one. The style is not my taste, but if you have a window you want to show off the glowy goodness inside.I still wish someone would build a ...

That would be nice, but if they send the parts back they don't own them. Now if they manufacturers would give them the parts to auction off, that's different.And 8Gigs of ram actually helps Vista 64 ...
