PC upgrade guides

The case for a new budget graphics card is very difficult to make with the cheapest new models tested our latest budget card comparison. The AMD Radeon HD 6450 and Nvidia GeForce GT 520 are both dirt cheap at $70 and $60, respectively, but depending on the processor you plan to match them with, they may not offer much in the way of additional performance over your CPU's onboard graphics. We're specifically talking about Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs here, which now come with onboard graphics that aren't at all the joke they once were.

Drive maker Western Digital recently announced the first 3,000GB hard drive based on four platters, with 750GB of storage per platter. It’s pretty impressive when you think of how much 3,000GB of data is: it’s 350 double-layer DVD movies, it’s 600,000 high-res JPEG images or 750,000 songs. It’d take you nearly six years of continuous listening 24 hours a day to get through that many songs. All inside a brick the size of a 300-page paperback.
