    Portable SSD for running games - can it handle it?

    Currently I don't have any internal storage left to mount another drive so I'm wondering if I can get a portable USB 3.1 SSD and just install and run games off that? I know that it will work, but can those portable drives handle that kind of work load, or are they more meant for less demanding...

    WD MyBook Live NAS if you own one, disconnect it from the internet immediately

    There is a remote execution attack that’s wiping those NAS drives completely. Evidently WD knew about this vulnerability for years and never patched it. It happened to my MyBook Live Duo RAID1 NAS two days ago, when it seems this attack struck worldwide around that time. I went to access...

    Game trailers and previews only showing cinematics

    This is something that always annoyed me. A new game comes out, and there are one or more videos giving a preview of the game and the videos only show cinematic scenes and not the game itself. I assume they feel that an impressive cinematic would make the viewer think the game either looked...

    Dual DVI, why so hard to find?

    I use dual monitors, and my current card is a GTX660 with dual DVI outputs. I am looking for a replacement, but it seems that finding a dual-DVI card is very hard to find.

    Ducky Zero DK2108S keyboard question

    Hi all, I bought a Ducky DK2108S and I think it's a killer keyboard. One thing I notice though, is if I power down the computer while the keyboard LEDs are active, they will just stay lit with the computer off. At that point the only way to shut off the LEDs is to disconnect the keyboard or...

    Question about older games trying to install DirectX

    I'm currently running Vista32. On some older games (such as COD4), it runs a Direct X 9 installer during the install. My question is, since I already have DX11, would that mess anything up or does it actually try to install DX9 over DX11? Thanks :)

    Longtime Nvidia user...... Should I go with ATI?

    I've been using Nvidia cards exclusively since I stopped working for 3dfx (and using their cards) back in December of 2000. I've always avoided ATI since I've been under the impression that ATI's drivers were always a bit sketchy. Has this changed and is there a reason for me to upgrade to...
