Samsung's Behold II Brings Yet Another Dose Of Android To T-Mobile
AT&T may have the iPhone, and Sprint may have the Pre. You could argue that Verizon Wireless has the BlackBerry Storm, but you can definitely say that T-Mobile USA has the Android devices. While most of the other carriers are slowly picking up Google-powered units, T-Mobile is snagging yet another in the Samsung Behold II. Boasting a 3.2" AMOLED touchscreen, 5MP camera (with AutoFocus and flash), Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 2.1 and Microsoft Exchange support, the Behold II is a smartphone that's easily as powerful

GlobalFoundries Charters a New Course, Delays 32nm
September was a busy month for GlobalFoundries, the pure-play foundry AMD spun off earlier this year. For now, AMD remains the company's only customer; GF won't begin shipping STMicro products until the fall of 2010 at the earliest. Its current lack of customers hasn't deterred the company from thinking big, even as its slowed the pace on its 32nm process ramp. Earlier this month, ATIC (Advanced Technology Investment Company) announced its purchase of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing (Chartered for short).

This is Microsoft's "solution" for those concerned with possible issues with compatibility with older software. On Thursday, Microsoft announced the software has RTMed and will ship on Oct. 22nd, the same day as Windows 7. Windows 7 XP Mode requires a CPU that is capable of hardware virtualization. You also need to have Windows

Canon EOS Rebel T1i Review
In the last year, a handful of camera manufacturers have added HD video recording capabilities to their DSLRs. Nikon initially beat Canon in this race by introducing the $999, 12.3 megapixel D90. Canon wasn’t too far behind, though, with its $2,699, 21.1 megapixel EOS 5D Mark II that is capable of capturing 1080p (better than the D90’s 720p capabilities). At close to $3,000 however, the EOS 5D Mark II wasn’t a lot of competition for the D90 in the consumer space. Time and technology always march

Hello, I am new to HotHardware with this username(Can't remember password or email used).
I am getting a new apartment and job so I thought best way to celebrate would be with a new system. I haven't been involved in hardware in a long time so I am leaving it to you. Here are a list of my needs and uses for the system.
Hardware
6 Monitor Support Minimum
Nvidia for Linux support
Want to go with i7 920(Overclocked) but if there are better options let me know
Uses
Running Multiple Virtual Machines
Some gaming (not primary concern but its nice to have option :))
Linux/Windows System
Ok guys give me your ideas, and any questions you might have.
Cost constraints are currently around 1500 but willing to move up to 1800 if needed. This is not including monitors.

All-inclusive GPU Charts
I know benchmarking can be quite the time consuming pain, but comparing many cards in one test can be useful for people looking to upgrade.
You assemble a PC with a fairly high end CPU (since you want GPU to be the limitting factor as much as possible) and run a bunch of gaming benchmarks with a bunch of graphics cards from the past couple years. You can even add new cards when they come out to the tests if you only use the PC for benchmarking, so that Windows doesn't "age" and hurt performance.
I wouldn't mind seeing an older CPU used for some tests as well (but only as a bonus edition, a high end CPU comes first). It wouldn't have to be for as many cards and benchmarks. I'm thinking this could be useful for people with older CPUs who are wondering if a new GPU is worth it. You could compare a 3Ghz Intel Core 2 against an older AMD Athlon 64 5000+ with each system testing several GPUs in newer games like Crysis and Call of Duty 4. How much worse does a Radeon 4850 perform at Crysis on an aging AMD dual core vs a new Intel? Is it worth upgrading from a older card to a newer one on such an "old" CPU?
