Nvidia Makes Fancy Water Effects For years water effects have come on leaps and bounds, and while it might "seem" more real, more often they are complicated moving textures that just seem, like real water; Bioshock was notorious for this.

CSX Diablo 2000MHZ DDR3 Over the last year or so, the price of DDR2 memory has completely bottomed out, meaning many gamers and hardware enthusiasts have stuck with it, and by and large ignored the newer technology, DDR3. However, as prices of the new range start to come down, people are taking more of an interest.

A 2GB, 2GHZ pair of sticks, that come with a huge heatsink, with D9 chips underneath. Can they reach their rated 2000MHZ speed? Let's find out.
