Most of the prices were wrong within hours of the article posting, but since its one of the most popular articles, I wouldn't expect any correction. I mean its not the first click bait on tom's, and surely not the last. There's more than a few price trending sites to confirm, so clearly Avram...

GFWL 2.0, The Walled Garden Returns. Can't blame them for trying, nice puff piece by the way, like the softball "Needs More Work" section.

A little extra publicity never hurts right... http://msdowntownla.blogspot.com/

back_by_demandCould you provide us with a technical document showing how that is done, it would be very interesting to see how you manage to overcome the problem of Neurone decay whilst transmitting via Z-particles. You need to work on your terminology, but yeah, here you go...

Some variant of most of those cards has passed through my personal builds. Most of them for barely longer than a year. So if I had to pick the one greatest card, I would have to go with the 4870X2. This based solely on it's useful lifespan being longer than any other card I have ever used.

wildkittenIt's really disturbing how people criticize content makers wanting control of their content rather than a competitor controlling their content. Okay, time for a little gaming industry 101. There's a lot of history here too, EAs been around since 1982, and is often referred to as a...

Good riddance EA. From David DeMartini's own post, "My new role means that I’m involved in shaping EA’s policies for how players download our online games and services..." So how's that working out for you, Dave? I had to read his post twice just to fully appreciate the amount of spin...

So without looking at the specs, but seeing as how this tech is using 60GHz EHF, we're talking maybe 20-30 feet range, direct line of sight (unless they figured out some practical beam forming). Yeah, I don't guess crowding would be much of an issue.

pc-dummyI am confused about prefetch? I would think that data in ram is faster than a ssd? but even intel says to turn it off. I just cant get my head around it. That's not quite how prefetch works, which dates back to XP, then followed by superfetch in Vista for better performance on...

Can you link that HowTo guide here? I understand you're saying you've seen the guide on The SSD Review before, and similarities were not Intented, but some of what you have here is verbatim, in a way that would not be considered unavoidable.

Where have I seen this optimization guide before? The layout, the order of optimizations, even the title of each section,hmm, oh maybe here: http://thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-2/ The first result when you google "ssd optimization" Doug, are you...

when everyone really just wants HL3, this game would be as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Subwar 2050 FTW

YukaNo, that's just one way of reading it ;DAnd you can let your friends play your games over Steam ;DCheers! No shill, that's exactly the point of linking the physical media to Steamworks. It's DRM, which is fine, but it also prevents resell, which is not. Steam is great for their sales, I...
