  1. New Mobile GeForce Go Graphics

    · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the laptops-hotter-than-1000-suns dept. · 94 comments
    Brent Kupras writes "NVIDIA just launched a whole bunch of GeForce Go 7xxx graphics cards for notebooks. There is a Go 7900 GTX, a Go 7900 GS, a Go 7600 and a Go 7300. The GTX version looks like just a faster copy of the old Go 7800 GTX. There are also a few benchmark results of these new chips against the older NVIDIA chips and ATI's chips."

  2. NVIDIA Releases new Budget GPUs

    Dennis Law writes "I was just checking out the latest GPU releases from NVIDIA. Non-gamers will be delighted to hear that NVIDIA also released a budget-edition of their new 7300 series, namely the 7300 LE. 'Targeted at the X1300 LE, this card will be priced lower than the GeForce 7300 GT at a price range of $49 to $69.' Now that's cheap enough for me to afford."

  3. NVIDIA Launches New SLI Physics Technology

    Thomas Hines writes "NVIDIA just launched a new SLI Physics technology. It offloads the physics processing from the CPU to the graphics card. According to the benchmark, it improves the frame rate by more than 10x. Certainly worth investing in SLI if it works."

  4. Massive Graphics Card Review

    Tech · Graphics · · posted by ScuttleMonkey · from the sifting-through-the-cruft dept. · 133 comments
    Brian Tonka writes to tell us that rojakpot has posted a pretty comprehensive graphics card review including over 240 different desktop graphics cards. With each of the vendors given their own section and using 15 different points of comparison this should be quite a starting reference for the enthusiast and casual buyer alike.

  5. A Look at Data Compression

    Tech · Software · · posted by ScuttleMonkey · from the it's-backup-time dept. · 252 comments
    With the new year fast approaching many of us look to the unenviable task of backing up last years data to make room for more of the same. That being said, rojakpot has taken a look at some of the data compression programs available and has a few insights that may help when looking for the best fit. From the article: "The best compressor of the aggregated fileset was, unsurprisingly, WinRK. It saved over 54MB more than its nearest competitor - Squeez. But both Squeez and SBC Archiver did very well, compared to the other compressors. The worst compressors were gzip and WinZip. Both compressors failed to save even 200MB of space in the aggregated results."

  6. The Mother of all BIOS Guides

    Joey Braff writes "Many of you have probably heard of the famous BOG - BIOS Optimization Guide. For those who have not, make sure you take a look at this mega-guide with more than 300 BIOS settings and they just added 10 more! If you doubt its authenticity, note that its author is a doctor and the guide is also available as a book."

  7. Graphics Card Comparison Guide

    JaniceZ writes "These days, there are so many graphics card models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different configurations. Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various desktop GPUs in the market as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete."

  8. ASUS Secretly Overclocking Motherboards?

    Hardware · Hardhack · · posted by CowboyNeal · from the not-so-secret-anymore dept. · 229 comments
    Hubert writes "It seems that the motherboard manufacturing industry is getting a little bit too competitive now that ASUS and many other manufacturers are secretly tweaking and overclocking the motherboard in default BIOS settings." A front side bus that's a mere 2 MHz faster may not seem like much of a tweak, but it's just enough to gain an edge over the competition.

  9. Lighter and Cooler Graphics Card Cooler

    Hardware · Hardhack · · posted by CmdrTaco · from the doing-it-the-easy-way-is-boring dept. · 84 comments
    Joey Braff writes "Max did a great guide on converting a cpu cooler into a graphics card cooler. Produced better results than expensive graphics coolers even though its lighter and cheaper. Test results available."

  10. Comprehensive Guide to the Windows Paging File

    It · Windows · · posted by Zonk · from the overly-blessed-with-RAM dept. · 495 comments
    busfahrer writes "Adrian's Rojak Pot has a nice article about the internals of the Windows paging file. It explains what a paging file is and lists the differences between a swapfile and a paging file. But first and foremost, a large part of the article deals with the various methods of optimizing the Windows paging file, thus yielding a notable performance gain for people who are not overly blessed with RAM."
