    Eyefinity nVidia Surround vs Large 1-screen IPS

    I am debating whether I made the right decision with my monitor purchase. I went ahead and got three 22" Dell s-IPS displays (in my sig) for an nVidia 2D surround experience. I am wondering now if I made the right decision. I played some World of Warcraft, some Dirt 3, some Saints Row: The...

    Importance of Secure Erases on SSDs

    I just finished up with my first SSD install. I dropped a Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 240gb (SF12xx based) drive into my laptop. I had some difficulty getting everything setup properly. Turns out the version of Intel RST (rapid storage technology) was causing slowdowns, BSODs, and system...

    LTWT on Sandforce 12xx controller?

    After pounding the internet to find the right deal, I bit on a Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 240gb. It's a Sandforce 1222 based drive with 34nm NAND. I got it under the $1/gb I was looking for, which is nice because other drive manufacturers would list 256gb as the size, making the price even sweeter...

    Refresh rate problems with 1080p and DX10

    When I attempt to run DX10 video games in Vista x64, apparently the refresh rate is being changed to something my monitor does not support. I am using an ATI 4870. I am trying to run Crysis Warhead in 1920x1080 resolution (the exact same as my desktop), and when I change from the default...

    Black Level / Leaking lights on LCDs

    I have had my Hyundai L90d+ for going on 5 years now. It was one of the first low latency 19" LCD's and I really liked it when I got it for gaming. (FarCry looked amazing on my 6800). Now something I have noticed and it's slowly bothered me more and more over the years is that you can see the...

    Interesting experience with Dell tech support

    I have a laptop which I purchased new 2+ years ago from Dell's website with one of those good 20% off coupons. I put together a $1300+ system and have been using it daily since. The battery obviously isn't what it used to be (Dell officially says they have a 1-year lifespan which I believe)...

    What happened to the RPG?

    Seriously, what happened to the RPG genre?? I was just watching a video review for a game I was somewhat looking forward to. Infinite Undiscovery. The review bagged on the game hard for pretty much doing some stuff that's already been done, but worse, and with a bad story. That seems to have...
