And although SiS, ALi, VIA and NVIDIA all had similar Athlon 64 chipsets on their respective road maps, it was VIA and...

Good evening friends, welcome back :) Along with Jeff, I was also having issues with my internet today. Though I am on a totally different ISP then my counterpart, I was unable to access anything HH related today (e-mail, web-page or forum). Yet, when I called in to complain, I was magically able to access everything after...

Good morning all. Sorry if I'm later than usual with your morning news. The past few days my Cable connection has been very slow and the folks at RoadRunner say everything looks good. While it may look good on their end, I'm slogging along at Dialup 5x speeds. Hopefully I can make enough noise...

Good morning all welcome back to HH. Yours truly is one of the lucky few which have the pleasure of suffering from seasonal migraines.

In May of this year, we had the chance to evaluate ATi's Mobility Radeon 9700. When our evaluation was complete, we came away impressed. And we weren't alone. The ATi Mobility Radeon 9700 has been almost universally praised by the press, and declared the fastest mobile 3D gaming GPU of its generation. Then, only a few short months later, ATi...

Good morning all. I can't believe we are gearing up for another hurricane here in NC. I moved down here from NY about 5 months ago to find a more affordable place to live with a slower pace. While those virtues hold true, I never expected to be dodging hurricanes and tornadoes on a regular basis. Mother Nature is active...

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", at least that's what Jack Torrance (Nicholson) in "The Shining" told us. What he was trying to say is that we all need a break from the usual grind every now and then. Even here at HotHardware, where we're usually knee-deep in testing motherboards, video cards, and the...

With the release of each new processor platform comes the inevitable wait for "enthusiast-class" motherboards to support them. We've seen the same scenario play out time and again. When Intel released its Socket 478 Pentium 4 processors, for example, it was a few months before tricked-out motherboards, with a full complement...

As the old saying goes, "hindsight is 20/20". That is to say, if you were in the market for a new high end graphics card, back in early August, as a direct result of the launch of Id Software's much buzzed about title Doom 3, you may have opted to go the way of an NVIDIA product. For sure...
