The Daily Button: May 5th, 2008
Happy Monday :). Not a whole lot going on in the MissingRemote.com labs right now. We are waiting for an HD-PVR and Avermedia’s new hybrid card to test. I have a small update to my ongoing build that I plan on writing up today or tomorrow. As well, I have roughed out what CPU tests we will be looking at (if we can ever get Intel and AMD on board ;)). This is a neccesary first step and if nothing else we will buy a a couple of CPUs to get this started :).
