Why My Computer Would Benefit from an SSD Upgrade

267d ago ... Currently my computer has 4gigs RAM, 5TB hard disk space, 1090T OC'd to 3.9GHz. The future will bring 16gigs of RAM, along with a Bulldozer CPU, two 6990s and 15 monitors. I could use a SSD because this is still too slow for the full unadulterated power I require in my gaming, scientific calculations and thin client I plan on setting up throughout the house.

Why My Computer Would Benefit From an SSD Upgrade

275d ago ... My computer and I go back a long way. It's lived in several countries and it's served as both a work machine and a gaming rig for over four years. I first built it way back in 2007 with an Intel BadAxe 2 mainboard (D975XBX2), an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 chipset and 4 gigs of RAM. It first sported an nVidia 8800GT, and I upgraded it late last year with an ATI 5850HD. It sits comfortably i...

GDC: Ear Force PX5 from Turtle Beach

440d ago ... It's the early hours of GDC, Friday morning, and while most conference attendees are staring glassy-eyed into the tops of their Starbucks to-go cups, I'm entirely too keen to be out of bed and trying out the latest from Turtle Beach - the PX5.

Blog: Why 3D Camera Technology Will Be The Future

568d ago ... To most people, the sudden industry interest in 3D technology is considered a fad. It's an eccentric marketing ploy for the fringe enthusiast, merely feeding a niche market. It's too expensive, or it's too immature, or it's too proprietary. If this has you believing the skeptics and naysayers, then 3D technology is already doomed to fail. Fortunately for entertainment enthusiasts there's a diff...
