They are becoming more like fashion shows, with companies employing models to show off their products. Some companies even have their models parade up and down catwalks with their latest products. Perhaps they are trying to equate their products with the beauty of the models. Whatever it is, it is a great opportunity for us, photographers, to capture the beauty of these models. So here we present the best of the models at Computex Taipei 2008!Sat, 05 Jul 2008 01:04:36 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=564&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=564&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/reviews-articles/24410-ed-98-what-happens-when-cmos-battery-fails.htmlEver wondered what happens if your CMOS battery fails? Most of us know that the CMOS settings are retained whenever the PC is powered, but what happens when you turn off the PC? Will those CMOS settings just go poof? Or will they remain intact as long as the power supply remains turned on? Believe it or not, no one knew for sure, so iModAMD decided to test a few motherboards and find out.Wed, 02 Jul 2008 02:28:21 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=563&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=563&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/reviews-articles/24406-foxconn-blackops-tech-report.htmlFoxconn is a relative newcomer to the motherboard business, at least in the retail segment. The truth of the matter is that thhey have been manufacturing motherboards for ages, albeit for other companies. They have only recently entered the retail market under the Foxconn brand name. Recently, they announced the availability of their new Foxconn BlackOps X48 Express motherboard. This is the latest addition to their Quantum Force series of motherboards, which are designed specifically for extreme overclocking. In fact, it is so packed full of features that Foxconn is proudly claiming that it is far superior to what was considered the ultimate overclocker's motherboard - the ASUS Rampage Formula.Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:09:43 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=530&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=530&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/contests/23950-tech-arp-april-08-motherboard-giveaway-contest.htmlTeam ARP is proud to announce our Motherboard Giveaway for 2008!

Well, the wait is over.

The new x264 HD Benchmark ups the ante by using a new 720p24 high-definition video clip. Therefore, it will be a great test of the processor’s ability to encode HD quality video streams. Give it a try and let us know how your processor fares!Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:31:21 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=562&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=562&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/reviews-articles/24373-ed-97-wga-plug-bug-firefox-3-a.htmlThe much anticipated release of the new Mozilla Firefox 3 has set a new world record and is perhaps the most downloaded program of all time. There are even talks of Guinness World Record status. However, as with all things that are new, Firefox 3 also suffers from some compatibility issues and bugs on its initial release. While validating my installation of Windows Vista Ultimate X64, I came across a bug with the new Firefox 3 browser.Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:14:54 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=561&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=561&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/reviews-articles/24372-ed-96-high-definition-audio-support-windows-xp-sp3.htmlAfter years of development, Microsoft finally released Windows XP Service Pack 3 for downloading early last month. Earlier, we covered how the Windows XP SP3 RC didn't support high definition audio because Microsoft apparently "forgot" to add the Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) driver for High Definition Audio devices in the latest release candidate of the Windows XP Service Pack 3. Now that the final Windows XP Service Pack 3 has been released, one, especially yours truly, wonders if it now supports high definition audio, or if Microsoft forgot to add the driver once again?Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:21:54 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=337&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=337&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/showthread.php?p=284460#post284460There are so many CPU models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different models or even remember their specifications! Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various desktop CPUs in the market, as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete. Currently covering 646 desktop CPUs, this comprehensive comparison will allow you to easily compare up to 18 different specifications for each and every CPU!Sat, 21 Jun 2008 01:36:03 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updateshttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=559&pgno=0http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=559&pgno=0http://forums.techarp.com/reviews-articles/24362-ed-94-nvidia-launches-geforce-9800-gtx.htmlThe NVIDIA G92 GPU is a phenomenal GPU because it's a fast and power-efficient GPU. Even after NVIDIA officially launched their new GT 200 series of graphics cards, they still managed to squeeze a little more out of the G92. Today, NVIDIA officially launched the last member of their GeForce 9 family - the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ (Plus).Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:59:54 GMTLatest Adrian's Rojak Pot Updates
