Techgage :: Wednesday, August 06, 2008
Intel today takes a portion of the veil off their upcoming Larrabee architecture, so we can better understand its implementation, how it differs from a typical GPU, why it benefits from taking the ‘many cores’ route, its performance scaling and of course, what else it has in store.

Techgage :: Wednesday, August 06, 2008
Maxtor’s diminutive OneTouch 4 Mini pushes the capacity envelope again, packing a positively huge 320 gigabytes of storage into a tiny enclosure. It’s also one of the sexiest mini external drives we’ve seen. Is the OneTouch 4 Mini 320GB a portable storage slam-dunk?
Turtle Beach X3 Xbox 360 Headset
Techgage :: Wednesday, August 06, 2008
Let’s face it… the headset included with the Xbox 360 leaves a lot to be desired, which is why third-party companies come along and release their own products that aim to blow it away.

QuakeCon 2008 – A Quad Damage of Babes
Tweak Town :: Tuesday, August 05, 2008
“At QuakeCon I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of female gamers in attendance. Not only has gaming crossed the lines of language and social class, but it is now smashing through the gender barrier.
Don’t come to QuakeCon and expect to get your ‘game’ on unless you are a top seeded pro player or can handle more vodka than these professional party girls. Still, they can show you a good time and still kick your ass at gaming.”
Press Release: Nvidia’s Meltdown?
Fast Silicon :: Monday, August 04, 2008
“Though we’re sure most nVidia fans are happy with the state of things from a fandom view, most of nVidia’s manufacturing partners are anything but happy. Profit margins for board partners are getting slim to non-existent. The manufacturer adoption rate of its 7xx chipset platforms is painfully low. The notebook platform business is in serious trouble. With Intel’s Nehalem just around the corner, nVidia might be shut out of the Intel camp entirely in this regard.
Empire23’s Road Trip Review Madness!
Tech ARP :: Sunday, August 03, 2008
Are you tired of reading all those boring reviews with their lab tests and numbers on performance, ergonomics and other flim-flam aspects of a product? How about reviews where the reviewers take their stuff on easy-peasy holidays where the level of abuse isn’t even enough to make a 3-year old cry? Well, I’m tired of writing them.
Seriously, there are things one cannot test in a lab, on a sponsored trip or by even by an intelligent smart person for that matter. One needs an idiot with a total disregard for general safety, social norms, equipment care and personal hygiene! That idiot, of course, is none other than yours truly!
Gigabyte Motherboard Features: Smart Backup, Ultra TPM, and Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced
Think Computers :: Saturday, August 02, 2008
“Our friends at Gigabyte feel that a few of their new motherboard features presently on their Intel P45 motherboards are important enough to give special mention, that our readers should be educated about these features to make informed decisions when choosing their new motherboard. Rather than try to cram this information in an already too-long motherboard review, I thought that I’d describe Gigabyte’s Smart Backup, Ultra TPM, and DES Advanced in an article, and refer to the article when needed in motherboard reviews. Read on to find out about these cool features!”
