Intel Core 2 Quad 9300 Processor Review
Legit Reviews :: Friday, April 18, 2008
“Intel has a winner on their hands with the Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor. At $285.99 shipped to your door it is priced higher than any AMD Phenom quad-core processor, but rightly so as our benchmarking showed it out performing Phenom in every benchmark except memory bandwidth. Not too shabby for the entry level 45nm quad-core processor! Our top overclock was over 1GHz higher than the stock frequency and that pushed the final clock frequency to 3.5GHz!”
Corsair TX650W PSU
Technic 3d :: Friday, April 18, 2008
“The Corsair TX650W PSU arrived Technic3D. See you in the following Review from Technic3D the next PSU Review with a high efficiency and a good price. Make the Ultra-quiet 120mm double ball-bearing fan, 8 Serial ATA connectors, 2x PCI-e 8-Pin and extra long cables support this PSU better than the 550W PSU?”

Access Desktop Items From Your Taskbar
PC Mechanic :: Friday, April 18, 2008
One thing I have noticed is a lot of people like to treat their Desktop as a “dumping ground” for all their personal files, folders and shortcuts. Yes, it is very convenient, but quickly gets overwhelming and hard to navigate. If you are one of these people, a handy shortcut is to add a menu […]

Asus Striker II Extreme Review 
Club Overclocker :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
Asus have generally been among the top boards in the enthusiast market. Not too long ago, Asus stepped up their game by introducing the Republic of Gamers (ROG) motherboard line. This line of motherboards promises the best gaming and the best overclocking that you can get on an Asus board. In other words, this is the best of the best that Asus has. Being labeled the best of the best has good points and bad. Since I know I’m getting the best that Asus has to offer, I’m expecting a lot from this board. Let’s dig into the Striker II Extreme and see if it can live up to the hype.

Phoronix :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
“Long before Sun’s Project Indiana came about, BeleniX has been one of our favorite GNU/Solaris distributions.

Today we’re taking a quick look at this new release.”

Coolink Chipchilla Chipset Cooler Review
Hardware Canucks :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
When it comes to cooling computers most people understand the need for CPU and graphics coolers but overlook the lowly motherboard chipset. The importance of the Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets is seemingly underestimated by most consumers and this carries over onto how most manufacturers cool them (i.e. as cheaply as possible). On most entry, mid and even some high-end boards, people think that it is more than acceptable to have a small chunk of aluminum as a Northbridge cooling solution.
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 Review
OCC :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
“I went into this review with a mindset that this board is geared to being used in a workstation or Home Theater PC and at that, it does very well. In the science benchmarks, the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 pulls off some impressive numbers compared to competing boards using the same chipset. The Gigabyte board has an array of features and capabilities that would make any system like this drool for more. I liked how Gigabyte included all three video ports for this board because if you are like me and lose adapters easily, you will not be left out from using them down the road. Another feature of note i absolutely loved is the number of USB headers available. For a media PC or workstation, that is a great move.”
Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red DDR2-800 4GB Kit BL2KIT25664AR804 Memory Review
OC Inside :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
Sure, for most of us DDR2-800 RAM is nothing special anymore, but the new Crucial Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red PC2-6400 memory modules are worth a second look. The current DDR2 4GB kit consists of 2x 2GB PC2-6400 CL4 memory modules and they are a visual treat. This Ballistix Tracer Red edition offers not just more memory for the PC, but thanks to several integrated SMD light emitting diodes it lights up the PC in a bright red. Let us test the result of this new 4GB CL4 kit from Crucial compared to previous tested DDR2 modules. And let us see, if there is anything special with Windows XP or Windows Vista and 4 GB PC memory.

Rock Pegasus 210
BIOS Magazine :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
“The Pegasus 210 (from £799) is a 12-inch ultra-portable laptop designed to meet the everyday demands of business professionals. The machine pretty much sucks at running games and high-end multimedia, but for number crunchers who can’t afford a ThinkPad it might be just the ticket. In fact, if it wasn’t for the jaw-dropping ThinkPad X300 (from £1790), the Pegasus 210 might actually be a contender for your cash.”

5 game concepts that should be revisited
XS Reviews :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
“The games industry – especially large studios – is often accused of “playing it safe” and sticking to tried and true concepts, leaving independent studios to try out new ideas and new ways of playing. With so many RTS and FPS clones being pumped out every year alongside yet another expansion for the Sims, many are clamouring for something new and fresh. What the studios don’t realize, is that they don’t need to make something new. There are already plenty of novel game concepts that just need an update, or a bit more developement. With that in mind, here’s our top 5 novel game concepts that should be revisited.”

A Personal Tale Of Verizon Woes
PC Mechanic :: Thursday, April 17, 2008
Verizon (for those unaware) is a humongous telecommunications company with a very large presence in the United States. It’s more or less guaranteed that anyone you talk to in the US knows what Verizon is and what they do. Verizon’s infrastructure is also humongous (obviously). This means they can offer anything to do with telecommunications. So, […]
