@RCaron, yes, that is true, Windows Update on Windows 7 has been borked on several occasions in the past few years, the latest one being in November / December 2017. One solution that works for many people is to type services.msc on the Start menu, click on it, then right-click on the Windows...

The Update Catalog website works fine with Chrome and Firefox; Microsoft has fixed that problem months ago (it used to rely on ActiveX); please fix that part of the story. Also, Windows 7 gets automatic updates until January 2020, so I don't understand what you're trying to say regarding that...

Tom's Hardware, please don't inflate the problem before having done benchmarks and don't put words in Microsoft's mouth. Specifically: "According to the company, machines running Windows 7 and 8, as well as computers based on Haswell chips or older, will see “significant slowdowns” from the...

Don, I see that you have now corrected the table to read: 224 GB/s aggregate 196 GB/s (3.5 GB) 28 GB/s (512MB) But this is still incorrect. As Nvidia itself admitted, both segments can't be used at the same time, so you cannot therefore add the two bandwidth numbers. It's one OR the other at...

Don, you forgot to not only mention but also correct in the table that the card's memory bandwidth is not 224 GB/s, but rather 196 GB/s for the 3.5 GB segment and a max. of 28 GB/s for the second segment. And it's likely less than 28 GB for the second segment as Nvidia has said the smaller...

Looks good, but please Valve make a black version to go with the controller, looks much better together. I like the feature that you can turn off the light, catering to all preferences. This will put up a good fight against consoles. I've read on another site that this particular model is using...

445 cd/m2 of luminance as maximum and 174.7655 cd/m2 as minimum ? Why do monitor manufacturers insist on delivering brighter and brighter monitors ? People don't use them like they are on display in a very well lit showroom, if you want to use one of these at home with just an indirect light...

Seems logical, they can only do so much for a start, so they are focusing on what is important, not to mention that they are covering their bases in order to not get sued. Some software people use on Linux has codecs which might require licensing depending on country. A single user downloading a...

You're late Tom's, Beta 7 was just released. Here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

"However, as Softpedia points out, many computers do not have a Secure Boot option in their BIOS menus, so Microsoft's fix won't make much sense. Luckily, Intel has the correct solution: simply reboot the device, enter into the BIOS mode, and access the secure boot options menu." The paragraph...

This is a great feature, but it shouldn't be included in the GeForce Experience program. Not everybody installs that and it requires you to install Net.Framework 4, which is another software package many people don't want to install. Great feature, but please make it stand-alone or part of...

"Because it's easier to create a smaller operating system and add features to it rather than the reverse, Windows Phone is believed to be the dominant OS in the merger." I wonder how that will work out. There is the possibility of that leaving the current Windows RT powered devices even more in...

"Microsoft is also teaming up with Activision and Infinity Ward for an exclusive Call of Duty: Ghosts bundle. This will be available when the game is released in November and will include special bonus content exclusive to the Xbox One." Without knowing what they said exactly, it's hard to know...
