    Early pictures & info of the AMD RD790 board

    Doubt it. They don't want us saving money by finding cheap cards used to do it with. If its true that they will allow a third/fourth/whatever card to offload physics onto...it'll certainly have some requirements like...same generation, or minimum of 2600, etc. It can't be that easy, its not...

    Comcast's Super Fast Cable Modem

    I'm getting hooked up with 5Mb/5Mb Fiber at my place next week for 45 dollars. I was about to pay 55 for 8/256k, which i had to get cable on top of that. I win.

    Intel's Centrino Debuts Today

    How much? I wonder how long this will take to sift in to mainstream channels and come down from intro-pricing.

    Xbox 360 - 65nm GPU in fall ?

    Most likely, just more profits for the most part.

    Intel E2160 and E2140 soon

    I still have to disagree. That board that was linked, appears to be worthless. And, its a barebones, stripped POS of a board. Also, only overclocks your chip 25% of the way. But, that's fine. Lets work with it. E2160 1.86Ghz - 85 dollars MSI P965 Neo-F - 87 dollars Ok, so it can go up to...

    Auzentech to Develop Sound Card Based on Creative X-Fi Chipset

    :banghead: Honestly, who cares. All I see is blah blah blah PCI connection blah blah blah. Honestly, I'm happy with my Audigy. I WANT an X-Fi card for my computer, and will have one. But I refuse to buy another PCI device. Give me PCIe x1 interface! :nutkick:

    Intel E2160 and E2140 soon

    Lets stop and think about this. Intel is releasing these ultra-low cost, cut down C2D chips to compete with the X2 series. No longer bearing the cache advantage like they normally do, and lacking the advancements AMD has made in their less cache, but same/more performnace - Intel will have...

    R600 external is Lasso

    I want a standard finalized providing PCIe x8 bandwidth externally. Make the cable length and cable composition requirements top of the line to support that bandwidth, and give laptop users the ability to enjoy this. Honestly, that's where this technology has the potential to really shine...

    Starcraft 2 rumors floating the Internet

    Hahaha. That might be the funniest thing I've heard. I would say that I want D3, SC2, and Crysis equally, but...just wait till Crysis comes out. Then judge it. :)

    PlayStation 3 1.60 Firmware to Add Background Downloading

    I can't imagine any good coming from working a confined little heater box at full load for any appreciable amount of time. Honestly, I see hardware failures of heat-induced origins on the horizon.

    Patriot Memory Unveils Extreme Performance PC2-6400 4GB Kits

    What are you talking about. Generally speaking, a 4-4-4 800Mhz memory is going to clock further then a 5-5-5 800Mhz memory. Depends on the memory chips built into it, but regardless that IS the rule of thumb. Regardless, 5-5-5 timings are not extreme performance. Not even really "good", its...

    Samsung first to ship hybrid hard drives

    Check out the webpage. These are 2.5" drives for laptops. 5400 rpm drives are basically "par" for the laptop field, as 7200 is "par" for the desktop field. It's a new technology? Why release it on 7200 rpm spindle speed? They can milk the CRAP out of this for money being the first one to...

    ATI developing Lasso

    Why? The purpose of a solution like this would be met best in this scenario as Kenny pointed out: You buy a small portable notebook (13-14" screen) packing a C2D, 2GB of ram, GMA950, and whatever else you want. Basically, a configuration that can run around and get the 4-6 hours battery...
