TechARP show you how to create a WinPE 2.0 Bootable USB Key. If you are a reseller, even someone who sells PCs on a part-time basis, you will want to learn this neat little trick because it can save you time setting up different systems, partitioning and formatting hard drive with Diskpart, backing up hard drive using ImageX, connecting to network, troubleshooting using Windows-based programs, system recovery and many more.
How does 1TB on a CD grab you? According to Mempile their product should be very reliable, and different simulations and acceleration tests showed data lifetime of about 50 years. Although Mempile is currently planning to launch their first product using red laser (which is a more mature technology), moving to blue laser further down the road will possibly allow the technology to achieve up to 5 TB of data per disc.
TrustedReviews looked at DX10: The Good, Bad and Ugly. DirectX 10 games are slowly starting to appear on the shelves so we thought it was about time we looked at what Microsoft's new API is capable of.
XbitLabs meanwhile wonder how DX10 games go on current video cards. Although DirectX 10 appeared quite a while ago, there are very few games today that really take advantage of its features. Nevertheless, when buying a graphics accelerator, you hardly ever question the need of the latest API support: most users prefer to have a solution with all contemporary features supported. Today we are going to see how fast the new DirectX 10 games, such as Call of Juarez, Company of Heroes and Lost Planet can run on contemporary graphics accelerators and if you should really go for the first generation DX10 GPUs.

LegionHW spent some time overclocking an E6420 on Intel P35. While the high-end options such as the ASUS P5K Deluxe do perform slightly better when it comes to overclocking, the difference is minimal. Furthermore we have found that overclocking with P35 based motherboards is quite easy really and in many ways just as easy as we found the ASUS P5N-E SLI to be.
Nick spotted some Seagate solid-state drives apparently on the way next year. As the high cost of flash and hybrid drives drops closer to traditional hard drives, consumers will soon fuel increased demand for the superior performance of solid state, analysts said. In June, iSuppli Corp. forecasted that by the end of 2009, 12% of notebooks would include SSDs, and 35% of notebooks would use hybrid hard drives.
