    High RAM usage when idle.

    Can I install this GPU?

    You probably won't even crack 250W on peak power draw.

    How much of a difference will SATA 3.0 make over SATA 2.0 with a RAID 0 and a single SSD?

    I've got a single Samsung 840 Pro and two WD Blacks (750GB) in RAID on a P55 board running an overclocked i5 750 (3.9Ghz). I'm wondering how much of an improvement an upgrade to a new Z97 system will make in photo tasks. I run a lot of heavy Lightroom work and Photoshop, sometimes stitching time...

    MicroAtX Silverstone PS07W GTX 760 Question/Future SLI

    A single card will probably be fine, but I think you are on the right track to get an enclosed, rear exhaust card. However, keep in mind that you may still run into heat issues, since you are still sandwiching two cards in there with what looks like little airflow available for the 2nd card. If...

    AMD graphics crash when not playing games. Also crashes when anti-aliasing is enabled

    Since AA requires more vram, I wonder if the vram on your card is failing. Just a wild-ass guess. Do you have another card you can try (e.g. borrow one from a friend) to rule out any other component in your system that might be interacting with it?

    2GB or 4GB GTX 760

    At that resolution you MAY be better off with 4gb, but probably not. Check out this review http://www.legitreviews.com/msi-geforce-gtx-760-gaming-oc-2gb-video-card-review-in-sli-and-2d-surround_2224 There don't appear to be many places where having addition vram helps that much on a 3x...

    MSI Introduces its GeForce GTX 770 4 GB Graphics Card

    Despite all the hoopla about 4gb being overkill even at higher resolution for current games, I'm not quite convinced. First, take into account Skyrim w/ texture mods and Shogun 2. Both of these games are reported to use large swaths of vram over 2gb. The Hexus review cited did not test Skyrim...

    10 Most Beautiful Cameras of CES 2012

    You could also tell it wasn't anything close to a D4 by the focus selector dial below the lens. The D4 has the new style, like the D7000, with two options and a button in the middle of it.

    10 Most Beautiful Cameras of CES 2012

    Seriously. You can even tell without knowing what the D4 even looks like, by that terrible photoshopped LCD on the top of the flash mount. Ridiculous.

    10 Most Beautiful Cameras of CES 2012

    That's hilarious because this is not even a picture of the real D4, it's a picture of some fake. Great journalism there, Tom's- you couldn't even grab a real picture from Nikon's website.

    New PSU i5 750 system

    All overkill, you don't need 750W. Get a solid 500W and save some cash

    PAX: What Gamers Think of Nvidia's GTX 480

    The disclaimers in theses reviews and interviews are hilarious. No one can have any opinion without claiming they are for one company or another, or flat out stating they are neutral. This is so ridiculous. Nvidia, AMD, unless you own stock in either company, I don't see why anyone would...
