    GeForce GTX 460 (GF104) Specs, Speeds Leaked?

    seems shorter and a bit more stubby than other cards of this series. I am still using a GTX 280, is it worth an upgrade to the newer line? if so, which one?

    Day 1: FEAR 3 Scariest Game Of All Time

    I don't understand how people can be afraid when playing games that have you looking down the barrel of a gun. Fear, The Suffering, System Shock and others don't even make me jump the slightest. I don't understand why developers think that adding more blood and disturbing looking monsters...

    Foxconn Worker says, ''Life is Meaningless''

    It is really sad to see what is happening to these people. I go to work and complain about my job and how I am barely paying for college, and they go to work and suffer. I really hope that more reports like this and maybe even a documentary come into light such as the Marti Gras documentary (you...

    Steam for Linux Confirmed; Now Live for Mac OSX

    Honestly.... if they get my steam games ported over to linux the only thing windows will have left for me is just drivers for my pen tablet and Adobe Studio.

    Laptop runs hot after replacing motherboard

    Wow! Take it in and leave it off if the keys are burning your fingers. Imagine how much damage you could be causing to nearby components...

    New rig-can't install os

    If you can, leave it on overnight... Sounds crazy, but windows literally took 4 hours to get beyond that screen on my friends PC. I don't know why, maybe a less than preferable CD drive? Or, if your CD is not legit [a dvd you probably burnt at max speed instead of 4x] then i would recommend...

    Microsoft Reveals ''Where's the 'Any' Key?'' Website

    Funniest thing ever... I was hooking up a 5.1 surround to a mans PC so he could play games. I put the sub under the desk in the back and he asked "wait, if we put it there how will i hear it?"

    Your Laptop Could Be an Earthquake Detector

    So, let me get this straight... It will send out a warning so that people 2 and a half seconds away have that 2 and a half seconds to get to safety? This just doesn't make sense.

    NIC's won't work....at all.

    Have you tried other PCI devices? if other PCI devices don't work [an old video card or sound card] then it is most likely the motherboard itself is damaged.

    Report: Steam Has a Monopoly Over PC Gaming

    So because they chose a correct business model they are a monopoly? Most, if not all steam games being released come on CD as well if a user wishes to go to the store and get one. People buy games from steam because they download fast, have no securom, links up with current friends, can buy...

    GeForce GTX 480 And 470: From Fermi And GF100 To Actual Cards!

    I am so disappointed. I have been using Nvidia since the 6000 series and, unfortunately for them, i will be purchasing an ATI card next. I have a GTX280 and there is really no performance gain big enough to justify the cost, power, and heat levels of the card. I have really gained some newfound...

    Report: Nvidia GTX 480 to Have Disabled Cores

    Although i don't like the idea of throwing out tons of video cards...it just doesn't seem right to sell them to customers if they have disabled cores. Rather, it seems like if they are making lower models with the same material than the highest model should be equal cost... I think im going in...

    Microsoft Denies Windows 7 Has NSA Backdoor

    I seriously doubt MS would be able to build a backdoor into every system that a common security scanner [such as Eset] would blantently ignore. If anything when someone tried to access this back door 3rd party firewalls would simply cut it off. The only people who need to worry are the people...
