The AMD Mantle Thread

Then when AMD runs out of money they just go sue Intel and cry foul to the Government again. Let's just hope the DoJ Antitrust division and the Federal Courts are still open when that happens. Wink Wink Seriously, the Federal Court put out a notice yesterday claiming they only got 10 days...

The AMD Mantle Thread

Which happens to be ALL EA GAMES... Only time will what kind of impact will Mantle make. But Glide still gives me goosebumps. Back in the day, EA went so far as to repackage and release a special edition just for Glide. Look up Need for Speed II SE...

The AMD Mantle Thread

I'm just worried this is Glide all over again. When I saw the Mantle presentation, the first thought that came to mind was exactly, oh s**t, 3dfx is back. The difference between this and PhysX is that AMD now also owns the console market so they have the relevant market power to...

In search of Sandy Bridge i7 laptop with ExpressCard slot

For some reason I overlooked the T520, I already ordered the W520. I thought only the W series has a SB i7 with express card slot.

In search of Sandy Bridge i7 laptop with ExpressCard slot

I have been searching for a second gen Core i7 laptop with ExpressCard to replace my 4 year old ASUS F8Sn for almost a year. Unfortunately all consumer grade models seem to have been done away with the slot. The only consumer / entertainment laptop that is available nowadays seem to be the new...

Palit 2Gb GTX 560 Ti

I am having this dilemma as well. For approximately the same price, would it be better to get Palit 2GB now or wait for the Gigabyte Super OverClocked 560, which seems to take forever to get delivered.

GTX580 reviews thread

Thank you Anandtech for asking the question that not many reviewers seemed to care about. So after all this time, nVidia still hasn't figured out how to add Dolby TrueHD/DTS Master HD bitstream output to their flagship model. Unfortunately for that, I would have to stick with my 460 a bit...

CPU upgrade for Asus F8Sn??

Does anyone know if it is possible to do that? I have a two year old F8Sn with a Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU, is it possible to replace it with a Core 2 Quad, QX9300 for instance? If possible, is the installation difficult? Thank you.

Which 32" 1080P LED should I get??

I just can't make up my mind here, so I am looking for some guidance and suggestions. I need a 32" 1080P LED-LCD TV that would mainly serve as a PC monitor and pull double duty as a bedroom TV. My current monitor is a LG E2350 LED, but I think it's too small for reading magazine size PDFs and...

Do you still enjoy playing older games?

I still play games like C&C Generals: Zero Hour (although I play mods) Homeworld 1 and HWC are both classics, I didn't like HW2 as much. SimCity 2000, IMHO, is the best in the series. The latest one is just pathetic.

Gigabyte X58 UD7 vs UD5?

Judging from the pictures, it appears the heatsink/heat pipe on the UD5 will obstruct one of the PCI-E X1 slots, while the UD7 does not seem to have this problem. Can anyone confirm this?

Newbie's Guide To WaterCooling

I'm considering to buy a system from ibuypower, they are now running a promotion for free liquid cooling upgrade. Is there anything I should be cautious about? Or has water cooling evolved to the point that is totally safe and does not require user intervention? If my memory serves correct...
