The most impressive part of this system is the Wireless DJ Remote. For starters, it features an ultra-modern design that gives this remote a stellar "Wow" factor, impressing all who see it. The black and silver casing, which includes a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, is thin and lightweight and is about the size of a standard television remote.

If you have never built a computer on your own it might seem like a very complex task that is hard to do. Considering the cost of the individual parts many people are scared to just give it a try without guidance. This article will take you through the system building process step by step.

Given my fondness for D&D, and after a fair bit of research and testing, I've compiled this a Neverwinter Nights 2 Tweak Guide to help NWN2 players hopefully achieve better results with the game. The guide runs through clear descriptions and comparative screenshots of all in-game settings, including the new ones added as of the latest (beta) patch, as well as all the .ini file settings which allow further customization and optimization, and of course the console commands and a few neat tips to wrap things up.

In the computer world, there are two distinct, separate streams of products. One is for the enthusiast level; offering top-notch performance and a large set of features -- but this usually comes at a steep price for bottomless pockets only. The majority of PC users belong to the mainstream class -- and to find or produce a product that strikes a balance between performance, quality, and features is quite a challenge for both the manufacturer and the consumer. With the latest enthusiast level chipsets such as NVIDIA's 680i on motherboards with a relatively high price, and Intel's flagship i975x supporting ATI's Crossfire natively, a new focus emerges for mainstream pricing as it sets its spotlights on Intel's newer P965 chipset. With our AB9-Pro motherboard from abit, this focus comes seemingly with an inseparable question: "Is this board with it?" which can be broken down into several other questions in regards to its performance, quality, stability, design, overclockability, plus the motherboard's overall value. How well does the abit AB9-Pro fit into this area?

Today sees the launch of AMD's attempt to at least restore parity in his new domain of quad-core processing, if not to take the lead in the extreme enthusiast market place, with what had originally been dubbed their '4x4' platform. The 4x4 moniker was all about building a system capable of running four CPU cores with four graphics boards, but for whatever reason this branding has slipped away, to be replaced by the phrase 'Quad FX'.

While we don't have anything Quad FX-related to benchmark here at Elite Bastards, the technology behind the platform is worthy of at least some discussion, mainly because it takes such a different approach to quad-core processing than Intel's effort. So, let's talk about Quad FX, and just how AMD have tackled the issue of moving beyond dual-core.

NVIDIA's new G80 GPU is the first to implement DirectX 10 support and Shader Model 4.0. Palit is one of NVIDIA's board partners who is selling the GeForce 8800 GTX. The card comes with 768 MB of video memory and can will run whatever you throw at it at highest resolutions with maximized settings. We test the card against the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, X1900 Crossfire and the Geforce 7900 GTX.
