ASUS Striker II NSE 790i SLI Motherboard Review

Topic:

ThinkComputers published a review of the ASUS Striker II NSE 790i SLI Motherboard.

Quote from the review: "A couple of months ago, I read a post in a forum that stated: "with an Intel processor you should use an Intel chipset", and have seen something similar nearly every day since, including today. I guess that I agreed with it, subconsciously if nothing else. Such was the distance that I had strayed from my roots in such a short time. Which is why when I was informed that I would be reviewing an LGA775 board with an nVidia chipset, I was a little apprehensive, and still am. Today I will be looking at the brand new Asus Striker II NSE motherboard. Read more

Nintendo Announces Mario Strikers Charged for Wii

Topic:

I admit that I don’t get soccer and have no desire to play a soccer game. The ubiquitous Mario is in to everything these days from driving go-karts to playing soccer. Naturally when Mario is involved the game is no mere normal game of soccer.

Sony backed Blu-Ray DVD Format Strikes Back

Topic:

We reported about Toshiba's backed HD DVD format news yesterday. Today the competing Sony backed Blu-Ray DVD format strikes back with Disney announcing support for Blu-ray.
