Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital send their latest high-performance notebook drives into battle, fighting for the ultimate balance between performance and efficiency.

What happens when you put the top overclocking enthusiasts from 20 countries in the same room with the fastest hardware available? The LN2 flows freely and someone walks home with a $5,000 check.

While people keep looking at flash SSDs, a lot has been going on in the hard drive space as well. The new enterprise drives by Hitachi and Seagate offer throughput that remains unmatched by flash-based models.

Two formerly high-end features—PCI Express 2.0 transfers and native Crossfire support—separate Intel’s new mainstream P45 Express chipset from its earlier P35 Express. Eleven motherboards challenge the market with features, performance and value.

USB drives can be critical when it comes to data security for companies. The Defender from Kanguru only saves data in encrypted form, and enables the remote deletion of content over the Internet in case of theft.

Home theater PCs should be as quiet as possible. Since most of the noise is caused by the fans on the CPU and power supply, we tested two passive power supplies that use no fans.

AMD and Intel are both pushing their quad-core offerings as the key to better system performance, but do you really need to spend the money on four cores when two will do?

Having found a number of SSDs that don’t deliver on their efficiency promises, we decided to put 14 different drives to the test. Here is the latest roundup - dominated by a single product.

Our German lab recently bought itself an AMD Athlon 64 2000+ processor, which only consumes 8 W of power. Clearly, this would make for a good face-off against Intel's energy-efficient Atom.

For as much as we love Blu-ray, it's totally unsuited for full hard drive backups. Well, what could be easier than saving your data by simply copying the contents of an internal drive to an external one?

We have four of Nvidia's Quadro FX cards and three AMD FireGLs in a free-for-all battle of price, performance, and professional functionality.

Earlier this year, AMD launched the Radeon HD 3870 X2, which was fast, but not fast enough. Now R700 is upon us and AMD shows its new RV770 architecture has what it takes to power the fastest graphics card on earth.

The latest external 2.5” drives by Buffalo and Toshiba come with easy-to-use backup software, but they lack features. More interesting is their capacities of 500 GB and 320 GB.

A picture story of Gigabyte's 790GX offering.

Last year we tested a pair of gaming notebooks from Dell and its subsidiary, Alienware. Since then Dell has updated its part, while Alienware introduced a new, more portable model. Now it’s time to find out: does the new middleweight unit have game?

When pushed to extreme limits, overclocking can become a sport in its own right, and the team that set the world overclocking record last February is particularly adept at it. We went along with them to the MSI European Overclocking Challenge.

It's always interesting to read what others have to say about hardware, so we've gone through some of the other 790GX launch stories for a better idea of what the community thinks about an enthusiast platform with built-in graphics.

Unprecedented Phenom overclocking? The fastest graphics core to ever live on a motherboard plus CrossFire support? A brand new southbridge with enhanced storage? AMD’s new 790GX combines all of those features and more in a package aimed at enthusiasts.

Detailed graphics card specifications and reviews are great—that is, if you have the time to do the research. At the end of the day, what a gamer needs is the best graphics card within a certain budget, and that’s what we’re going to show you.

Let's settle the myth about Macs being more expensive.

We've seen a lot of Intel CPUs, but a few are real stand-outs. We pick 15 of the most memorable in anticipation of Nehalem, expected to be Intel's next big landmark.

Are you in danger of catastrophic data loss? We look at feature-rich hard disk backup solutions aimed at small businesses from Iomega and Quantum.

SLI support has been Nvidia’s only advantage in performance chipsets, but the 790i Ultra SLI is proving to be tough competition for Intel’s X48 Express. Today we test every available model using the graphics giant’s latest chipset technology.

Founded in 1993, Nvidia has had plenty of time to enjoy the ups and downs of our tumultuous business. Learn about everything from NV1 to the company's latest unified shader architecture in our pictorial trip down memory lane.

Originally developed for use in nettops, the Atom is now available for desktops. But how economical is the little platform, and is it powerful enough to handle daily work requirements?

Macs have come a very long way and can pretty much do everything a Windows PC can Apple says. So why do I still have a PC right beside me?

Earlier this year, our counterparts in France set out to break the overclocking record with a Core 2 Quad Q6600 - and they succeeded.

Dip below the conventional mainstream market and you'll find highly integrated platforms priced at about $80 dollars. We take a look at a Celeron-powered Intel board to see what sort of performance is available for less than $100.
