The Dead Sea Scrolls are coming back to life with the restoration project being commenced by Israel's Antiquities Authority. Using high-tech cameras, they will photograph each fragment of the scrolls, and the best part is it will be made available for public viewing over the Internet.

DirectX 11 - the one sure thing you'll want as soon as Windows Seven ships to shelves a few years from now. Revealed back in Gamefest 2008, DirectX 11 turned heads with its venture into multithreaded computing territory and support for using shader processors as additional processing power. Today, however, Microsoft's Kevin Gee detailed what the software engineers at Redmond had planned for the API, and we've compiled a summary at the full story.

In a string of luck, AMD's best graphics solution for this season comes a good three weeks before Spore and Crysis Warhead has a chance to whisper, "Peek-a-boo!" You can bet that every brand out there who's been sticking with ATI video cards has a special kit for you bleeding edge techies, but just how much moolah are we going to shell out for a Radeon HD 4870 X2? Learn more at the full story.

AMD isn't done serving the little market they managed to carve out of an idea brought about by Epic Games' Mark Rein. While folks new to the scene are probably still getting down and dirty with their AMD 780-based boards, the Germany-based company decided it was time to hike the bar a bit higher with the 790GX. Details come at you at the full story.

It's like a geek's dream come true - two ladies you've always wanted for the price (and mass-energy ratio) of one. Or something like that. While Intel's really busy with Larabee, the Germany-based Advanced Micro Devices decided that they could do with their own version of CPU-GPU technology. Everyone expected this from the beginning: the unison of CPU (AMD) and the GPU (ATI) into a mesmerizing package. How it took this long to come to realization, you won't find out at the full story. Read on for more claims, instead.

And the technology wars begin. Just when you thought NVIDIA had the last say in the verbal bout of "who's processing power gargles nuts now?" Intel decided that it was time to take the graphics game to a higher level. Today, we're introduced to Intel's "Larrabee" - a much rumored CPU concept prototype designed to carry some form of graphics processing as well. Suddenly itching for more? Full story now, pardner.

Okay, so it's not the biggest gun that NVIDIA's got in their arsenal yet, but seeing as AMD is solidly taking the lead in the performance per unit price race, this was expected. You might recall that the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 wasn't as greatly embraced by the 8800 GTX crowd when the first benched numbers spilled on the Internet. NVIDIA took the G92-spec card and made two SKUs out of the process: a 9800 GTX+ and a 9800 GT. More at the full story.

Coming up on the PC menu today is an update from Advanced Micro Devices for the Catalyst driver set. You lucky folks who've managed to nab a Radeon HD 4850 or a 4870 recently would be happy to hear this, because the driver engineers at ATI have really squeezed more performance from your boards via optimizations. Check out what the hardware enthusiasts have after updating their video drivers.

NVIDIA announced recently that it has discovered some issues with certain laptop graphic processing units (GPU). Because of this, the company has been forced to take certain measures. To find out more, head on over to the full article.

Holy crap. Simply holy crap. We all know that AMD is particularly late for the next-generation graphics party, but the company's counterparts for NVIDIA's 9800 GTX have finally arrived, and from preliminary launch copies, we hear they're blasting the competition away. Diamond seems to be one of the first companies to let loose its primary ATI Radeon HD 4870 SKU, but is it worth the upgrade? Learn more at the full story.
