Review: HP Pavilion Entertainment dv4t Laptop

Part of the HP Freshman 15 promotion that I’ve enjoyed the most was having a dv4t sent to me. The part I don’t like is the bit about having to send it out to one of you after wards. I’m admittedly an Apple fanboy with my heart set on another Macbook but the dv4t did [...]

Review: Gigabyte 8800GT 512MB

Today I have a long put-off review of the Gigabyte 8800GT.

When one card won’t do, logic says two should do the trick. This is the logic that applies to AMD’s CrossFire and CrossFireX platforms.
