    Tom's Hardware Giveaway - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    because charts charts charts charts.... nowadays with minimal performance gains in raw terms I find real-world reviews and subjective testing as my main reason for following TH - but what really got me hooked was the charts way back in '06/'07

    Video-Editing Rig

    Thanks for the multiple tips ;) and no more bumping!! Guess It'll be down to personal preference on software then, the Piledriver+AM3 mobo still looks like the way to anyway!

    Video-Editing Rig

    Ok... WOW! Thanks for sharing, I've always looked at different stuff when selecting parts for my builds (almost exclusively gaming rigs) so this is a real eye-opener for me.

    Video-Editing Rig

    thanks for the pointers, will check out these parts and maybe some others up the ladder.. So you recommend the newer AMD chips over the Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPUs? Can't say I've seen that happen often!

    Video-Editing Rig

    Will probably be getting stuff from overclockers.co.uk Do not really know what software since I am enquiring on behalf of a friend - but it will be used for HD photo and video editing. I'm thinking large resolutions since the guy is already well into the DSLR business. I'm guessing something...

    Video-Editing Rig

    Hello, I am trying to figure out good components for a video-editing rig.. I have built gaming rigs in the past but I'm not sure how I should approach this.. I'm pretty sure one of the main differences is that I need an i7 CPU to take advantage of multiplecores/hyperhreading etc.. plus loads...

    Stuttering in Bf3

    What processor is that? BF3 is very CPU-intensive. Please tell me that isn't a 775 Dual Core?! It may be CPU overheating.

    NAS: DS212 or DS212+

    Hiya NAS folks, the 2 above NASs are practically the same as connectivity and looks go but the 212+ sports a better processor (2ghz against the 212's 1.6 Ghz) and more memory (512MB against 256MB). This is reflected in the price (around GBP 60 / USD 100) more - is the premium worth paying for...
