OK, so these may not be watches that I would actually choose for myself. Regardless, you can’t site there and tell me that they don’t present some sort of cool fact of some sort, right?

Face it, you know that you want this computer being described below. What? You don’t know this? OK, well you will once you enter all of the wonders of the ‘Dream Machine’. Seriously, I’d give my arm for a machine like this!

ASRock is not a board that we hear about that often. With MSI and others using the spotlight of their success to their advantage, it is worth considering that companies such as ASRock have worthwhile boards as well. Take the 939SLI32-eSATA2 for instance…

So you are needing to understand some key information about your motherboard, but have no clue where to locate the needed info to determine the board that you do have? Not a problem. Just follow the instructions below…
Sooner or later you will need to know the manufacturer and exact model of your motherboard, especially if [...]

Leave it to the lasers! Yup, with NEC and Optical Interconnection Research working together, I believe that we will see some amazing advances with optical connections. Just think of the possibilities!

In the past, AMD has been terrible when it comes to their notebook CPUs. Well, thanks to better technology and a lot of hard work, AMD is not going to have this problem this time around with their new dual-core mobile chips.

OK kids! It’s time to get NAS-ty with Infrant ReadyNAS NV. Cool, perhaps. But this sucker is anything but quiet. Well, that is unless noise is not an issue for you.

One thing you have to love about Aopen is that they’re never boring. No, not with the release of their new low-powered PC with Core Duo support. The first looks is not likely what you expect - so read slowly.

Boo Sony, boo! Come on, for cripes sake. After all of this time you must have some news to share? Nope, Sony still refuses to share anything with regard to a launch date on the PS3. Could the whole thing end up being bunk? I am beginning to think so…

There is really no question that most users out there are simply not that particular about the keyboard they use. And since this is the case, why not work at finding them for a decent price?

Hmm, this title may strike some of you as strange. However, if you stop to think about it, there is logic to the statement. Like many things in this life, the consumer can push trends that the commercial entities simply don’t have the resources to make happen.

Well this is good news. Speaking for myself, I actually had some concerns that the original nForce4 SLI had been pushed aside sort of quickly. Regardless, the latest boards with this setup are going to certainly have their work cut out for them. That my friends, is a sure thing.

Look, I like my notebook PCs to be small. You know, sort of like the description being used? However I might being willing to rethink this line of thought when it comes to the most recent Alienware line. They may be oversized and bulky, but wow….

Speaking as a DVD fan, I love that LightScribe technology. Heck, I have even overlooked that it is HP that puts these little gems out on the market!
The great news is that there is now a new line of them out, this time with better media support!

I have a thing against first run media devices. Regardless of them being internal or external, in the long run you will get screwed.
Based on Sony’s history of screwing people (think Sony root kit), I believe that holding off on the purchase of a new Blu-Ray DVD burner would be a wise move [...]

I don’t know about you, but I feel like Blackberry got lucky - pure and simple. Not to say that they weren’t in the right mind you. But for them to be able to save their butts in that patent suit was definitely a devine act of some sort.

“Hey Intel! Are you asleep at the wheel or what?” Sometimes I wonder what these big companies are thinking. You know the type, they monopolize the market, etc, etc. But just when things are looking really bleak for the industry - boom. Their competition comes along and outdoes them at almost every turn.

OK, so the new Blu-Ray DVD players are not all that great. Boy, Sony had better get it together if they plan on selling these devices for the asking price. I mean, I don’t think many folks would pay for a unit that looks like it came from the 1980’s?

Ouch! No one likes to see sales fall down on their face. And this is certainly true when it comes to the highly competitive world of CPU manufactures like AMD and Intel. Not to fret though, they will ride out that rough month. They always do.

OK, so now we get to start looking into motherboards support that ever-hyped Viiv technology. Is it a good buy? And will a board using the Viiv components receive the Viiv label? Actually, that answer might just shock you…
