There's no difference between the Mac and Windows steam clients when activating a dual platform Valve product with a retail key. If you have a Mac and want to pre order through a brick & mortar or online retailer, the PC version will work for either.

2000 Gaming press: PC gaming is dead; piracy has killed it off. MS: The only way we'll make money off gaming is with a closed garden console. 2004 - 2010 Valve and Blizzard: *rakes in money hand over fist* 2010 Gaming press: Long live the PC! MS: Dude, WTF? We're hemorrhaging cash on the...

New ARM SoCs take a long time to go from a finalized design to volume production. OMAP4 was complete more than a year ago and it won't find its way into any products until late this year. If they're just finishing Tegra 3 right now, Tegra 2 should have 12 to 18 months before getting shifted to...

For the people complaining about weight and thickness: It'll weigh as much as and be thinner than an ipad with a bluetooth keyboard and clamshell case. And actually do stuff business users actually need to do, rather than just be a pretty toy.

They're just lucky it wasn't an internet cafe in Texas. The guy manning the counter would have been able to realize his lifelong dream to take part in a real life FPS.

It's just a natural progression for Valve. There are three markets dependent on OpenGL and their last attempt at reaching one of them failed when they allowed EA to do the legwork. They don't want that to happen again, nor do they want to abandon the platform as a market for their games. Since...

Please stop saying this is a substitute for an eInk device. 6 hours of battery life and a display that's useless outside do not make for a usable ebook reader. If this had all of the features of the Notion Ink(including the screen), ran a full version of OSX, and lasted 12 hours on a charge...

Check which 12V rail your GPU is connected to. Check your GPU temps. I had the same problem - stable in everything but Crysis artifacted like crazy and would crash every few minutes. My problem was that the GPU was connected to the same 12V rail as the motherboard - I was overloading the PSU...

That will kill the usb key a lot faster than normal usage. Make a new 1 to 2GB partition on the second hard drive and set the page file to the new partition. That would help a great deal with file fragmentation.

As long as you are buying an official part, all the boards are the same. A 3850 with 512 or 1024 MB of ram or a 3870 with GDDR3 are examples of partners straying from reference with the former using different ram densities, and the latter is probably a 3870 GPU on a 3850 board with a custom bios.

Has anyone had the opportunity to try both this and the eMagin z800? It seems like that one corrects a lot of the flaws that the reviewer mentioned. Unfortunately it's also considerably more expensive.

AMD's fabs are worth more than the company is to anyone who needs 3 cutting edge fabs, not to mention the IP the company has. If AMD can't recover financially, IBM has a lot invested in AMD's fabs and the tech they share. I can certainly see samsung interested in putting in an offer, but IBM...

If you really want something that will leave you drooling like a moron, try the steps listed below: Build one of these - USB DAC It's a usb to I2S interface connected to a minimalist DAC using a very clean, very substantial power supply, along with a high quality low output impedance buffer...
