Tech ARP has updated their Hard Disk Drive Performance Comparison Guide with two additional hard drives.

Ever wanted a guide on hard drive performance, where you can compare the performance of a wide range of hard drives? Well, we are not quite there yet, but that is our ultimate objective.

In this performance comparison guide, we will test and compare the performance of all the hard drives we can get our hands on. This is similar to what we are doing in the Intel Core 2 Processor Performance Comparison Guide.

Tech ARP posted a guide to soft-mod the NVIDIA GeForce to Quadro

The NVIDIA Quadro family of professional graphics cards are very, very expensive. But everyone knows that Quadro and GeForce graphics cards are virtually identical in hardware.

Obviously, you cannot just use Quadro drivers with your GeForce graphics cards. However, there is an easy way to soft-mod (modify in software) an NVIDIA GeForce desktop graphics card into an NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics card. We will show you just how to do it in this guide.

Not only that, we have also added a new page with performance results from the soft-modding of an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB and an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT to the Quadro FX 4600 and Quadro FX 1700 respectively. Read on and find out.
