Hey guys, looking for some basic info on overclocking my processor. I've already got custom cooler and now want to get things moving. By default it runs at 2.5GHz, I'd like to speed it up to 3.0 max, but not necessary. What I'm looking for is a stable system rather than experimenting. What should I look...

I have been thinking about getting an ultra-portable notebook lately, and my choices are either MacBook Air or one of the ASUS ultrabooks (13"). However, I just read that Intel is entering the Ultrabook business with a slim white 13" notebook.

Is this going to be an Intel branded notebook...

Good games

Game Consoles, Sony, PlayStation 3
