In a nutshell gaming requires more GPU muscle the higher the resolution. Ideally you would need an Geforce GTX660M or higher for the 1080p display; this becomes a significant factor if you want to keep the laptop for over 2 years. The Geforce GT650M and the 720p screen should fit the bill for...

Well lets just say the Asus driver is known to cause some issues to people; at least it did to me. Some games like Fallout 3 don't like the D1 and tends to crash. This is also true for the creative X-fi range. In such instances it is better to use the low latency driver as it will minimize audio...

I have had the D1 for sometime now. First of all let me tell you for the price it is an excellent product. Just un boxing the thing will give you a good idea of the build quality and when properly configured it really pumps some decibels. Not to mention GX mode that restores hardware sound...

Finally a decent 2.0 desktop review. After going with sub-woofer setups for over eight years, I purchased a Creative T10 2.0 speaker system locally. This works well because thumping bass is not ideal for my new living arrangement. What I found was that while the T10 is far from a audiophile...

To answer your question in a basic kind of way, I do believe that the I3 330 would be sufficient for you. I am typing this reply on an Dell with an I3 330M and 4GB of Ram. I can download torrents, burn a CD, play music and run other simple explorer tasks such as working with files without the I3...

And how many months ago was that? No but we gotta pretend it was a one off thing and recommend hardware/software that we know has inherent issues in relation to the silicon/drivers. And ATI should be proud to release products in the pre production stage. How else could explain the struggle they...

You have a whole plethora of reviews all over the internet, however I must point out that there is very little exposure by major sites like Toms about the Catalyst drivers as of late. I make special mention of the issues effecting users of the ATI Radeon 5800 series. These issues are not limited...

The reason why Nvidia cards like the 260 are still expensive compared to ATI cards like the 5770 is because all the issues they have been having. It seems like buying a 5000 series card is like flipping a coin. Better hope your on the winning side. Just look at the 'Grey Screen Issues' on...

I originally purchased Gamesafe and loved the product. However before purchasing Gamesafe I informed Bit Defender that I intend to upgrade to Win 7 x64 in a few months time. They specifically mentioned that Gamesafe is not compatible with Win 7 x64 and offered an free upgrade to Bit-defender...

JohnnyLuckyAre there any industry stats indicatings which cpu's are most popular with gamers? Intel Core2 Quads? I think Core 2 Quads add serious bang for the buck for gamers in the mid $100 rage. Performance wise the I5 & I7 would be king however. There is also the new I3 and dual core I5's to...
