I recently purchased a small funky rubber USB flash drive from Integral with a view to making it a platform for storing portable applications, i.e., applications that can be executed directly from the drive without installing anything on the host machine. This is especially useful for anti-malware and browser or email apps. Here’s a few [...]

It’s probably not practical for end-users like ourselves, that is unless we want to show off to neighbors but for industries such as CAD it’s very feasible. Pop in another [...]

There is a website that has pictures of the Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI-Quad Royal running two Gigabyte dual core 3D1 video cards and four 7800GT in SLi.
