With the imminent release of X.Org Server 1.9, last week we delivered benchmarks of Intel's 2D driver performance with X.Org Server 1.9. In those tests we found Intel's UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture) performance only changed a bit -- for either better or worse -- with the updated X Server, but today we are looking at the 2D EXA performance using ATI Radeon hardware using this ...

Review: Audio-Technica ATH-ES10 | Posted on: 18/08/2010 @ 10:36

Portable is a vague term applied to headphones. Clearly even the chunkiest models are portable if you've got a big enough bag handy, while many would baulk at carrying anything bigger than an in-ear model. The new Audio-Technica ATH-ES10 isn't quite pocket-sized, but it's small enough to fit in a small briefcase or handbag; with the earpieces rotated it's about 25mm-thick. We've spotted plenty of ...

Review: Avermedia AVerTV A820 | Posted on: 14/08/2010 @ 19:12

Simplicity is not to be sniffed at. Too many TV cards come with too many options. They're unnecessarily complicated. AVerMedia's A820 Plug & Watch is not. It's easy.

Brackets to ceiling-or wall-mount the speakers cost extra, as do the optional stands for positioning them on the floor instead of your desk; not exactly an impulse purchase, but you get a lot of engineering ...

What's your take on integrated GPUs? When it comes to gaming, integrated graphics is obviously in no-touchy territory. But it gets the job done just fine for 2D or home cinema work.
