VR-Zone played around with an NVIDIA 7900GTX .. with the GPU core at minus 92C and 1GHz.

FarmingSheep are showing off with one of Dell's 30" widescreen monitors, by gaming in 2560x1600. 2560x1600 provides two times the resolution of 1080p, coming in at 4.1 megapixels. Running at a res this high on a 30" screen is simply awesome, but as you can imagine, not just any GPU can run at 2560x1600 and still dish out good frame rates.

Here's an article about problems with copy-protection from the editor of PC Gamer. Despite years of combating piracy, by the late ’80s and early ’90s, the games industry could do little more than ask nicely that people not pirate their wares.

Sony's PlayStation3 has been delayed until November, but at least the good news is that it'll be a worldwide release, including Europe and Australia. Some comments in this thread in our Game Consoles forum.

If you're bored and stuck in a wiring closet sometime, maybe you can play soldiers for a while.. thanks Darkness. Having trouble getting all the pics to load, hmm.

MobilityGuru checked out what they're calling the World's Smallest WinXP Computer, the OQO Model 01+. Meanwhile, this article wonders if we really need MS's Origami mini-PC, thanks Silentnight.

Digitimes have Part 3 of their interview with AMD's Henri Richard. As you know, at AMD we took a very different approach to Intel on the subject, in the sense that we don't believe that the media-center PC should be the center of your living room.
