I’m thinking this type of connection could make for some cool sideshow devices. Maybe even a better standard for Home Automation device. Forget the X10 and ZigBee stuff.     My take: This is great news. Wi-Fi has been hugely successful in helping build home and business networks, but peer-to-peer connectivity has been lacking. Either Bluetooth 3.0 or Wi-Fi Direct […]

I was hoping to see something mentioning my issue with the offline files feature causing the file server box to disconnect from the network, It happens also when I tried to use CloneDVD to copy its image to a network shared. Disabling IP6 on the NICs helps but then you lose homegroup functionality. Perhaps I need to go back to […]

I think we are 10+ years away from doing away with hard media. Mainly because we are that far away from the infrastructure to handle that much data over the Internet and there are way to many players in the game to deliver content. Do I buy a Hulu box, Netflix box, get my movies via FIOS or Comcast.   […]

If I didn’t have 6Gb of DDR2 I would have gone down the DDR3 road. I would have like to have the sideport memory that his board has. The review is a little off. On the specs page they don’t mention the sideport memory and they say is is the 3200 series graphics when it is really uses the 4200. […]

I thought I’d post a review of the latest processor I put in my machine. I’m a little disappointed in how loud my PSU is but I haven’t heard my stock HSF wind up yet. I used the AMD overclocking tool to get it to around 2700MHZ but it crashed about 20 minutes into a session of Left 4 Dead. […]

I was hoping these were going to be the cheapest in the lineup and also be air cooled. After reading the article it looks like we need to wait on the 56XX series to come out before we see a fanless card without the requirement of additional power.  But for 160 bucks the 5770 might be a replacement for my […]

Tom’s evaluates the 5770, 5750 and trys out the bitstreaming capabilitites with a beta build of PowerDVD.   One of the features I was most excited about at ATI’s press briefing aboard the USS Hornet was the addition of a protected audio path, which would allow cards based on the Cypress (and now Juniper) GPUs to pass encoded Dolby TrueHD […]

It seems it could be used as an HTPC with its video decoder to compensate for the weak cpu/chipset and ultra-wideband to the TV.  But only 32 GB storage??   Beneath the 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touch panel (with stylus) we’ll be getting Windows XP Home running on an Intel Atom N270, 945GSE / ICH7-M chipset with Broadcom AV-VD905 […]
