Trident's XP4 Benchmark Preview

why will voice/face recognition require 10 ghz?

Computers can do some things that humans can't (like doing the same calculation a millions times in one second) but perform very badly at some things that humans find very easy (like pattern recognition). As a result, it takes a lot of computing power to do things like face recognition quickly...

Haha! I am nuts! Hard drive with a window! *updated!* New one W/LED!

Headphones and FPS

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me with a purchase. I'm looking for a pair of headphones to use with FPS games and I have US$100 or less to spend. Sound quality isn't the number 1 priority, but I need to be able to tell where people are, and from where I am being shot. A microphone...

Quiet Power Supply?

I have a 350W Enermax Whisper in a system I built to be as quiet as possible. It has a dial on the back that allows you to turn up the fan speed, but even when it's all the way up I can't hear it running. I?m extremely conscious about the sound produced by my PC, and I couldn?t be happier with...

How does quad bumping in Intel Pentium 4 work?

<< the only way I can figure out how is that they transmit at the top and bottom edges of the clock signal. So you can get 4x from that. Otherwise I am not total sure on how. >> Isn?t RD RAM quad pumped and double data rate (thus PC800)? If so, wouldn?t quad pumping have to be something other...
