TeamAU’s YoungPro Achieves Crazy DDR3-4400 Overclock with G.SKILL TridentX Memory
I don’t always get floored by a new memory clock world record, but when I do, it tends to have G.SKILL’s name behind it. Such is true with the latest achievement, made possible by TeamAU’s YoungPro. Using a DDR3-3000 kit of G.SKILL’s TridentX memory, YoungPro managed to push the frequency to a…..

Civilization Online Announced, Might Not Be What You Expect
Here’s one I can cross off the bucket list: via an interview at MMORPG.com with XLGAMES’ Jake Song, the much-rumored Civilization MMO has been revealed. Aptly-named Civilization Online, it’s clear right out-of-the-gate that XLGAMES has quite the project on his hands, as the Civilization series clearly has some mechanics that wouldn’t translate well…..

Using TRIM on Your Pre-Android 4.3 Phone or Tablet to Boost I/O Performance
The latest version of Google’s Android, “Jelly Bean” 4.3, certainly isn’t one of the beefier updates we’ve seen, but it does include a couple of improvements that makes upgrading worthwhile (if you have the option, that is).
