OSWeekly :: Thursday, August 10, 2006

Mushkin 2GB EM2-6400 DDR2-800 Memory Kit Review @ Virtual-Hideout
Virtual Hideout :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
“Well, I’m not going to sugarcoat this conclusion. This is a basic 800mhz @ 5-5-5-12 @ 1.9v value memory kit with some fancy heat spreaders and nothing more. I whole heartedly think it’s not worth the effort to even bother trying to overclock them. Not when you really gotta crank the voltages just to squeeze some sap from the tree.”

eVGA e-GeForce 7950 GX2 Black Pearl Quad SLI
Hexus :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
A week or so ago the boss got on the blower, breathing heavily. Never a good sign. “Black pearls, Rys, black pearls are coming. Be prepared. 4 chips. SLI. Be prepared”. Then he hung up, slightly asthmatic wheezing lost to the wind, my thoughts all agog.
Had he just been watching Pirates of the Caribbean again, drunk, or was something else afoot?

Apple: The Doom of Wired Peripherals
Cool Tech Zone :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
“Not too long ago, every technology device that we had was tethered by a cumbersome cord. You no doubt remember the nightmarish task of trying to organize your mess o’ wires so that your desk could look somewhat clean and presentable, and even with the advancements that have been made today, it’s still easy for your desk to go from clean to clutter in 2.5 devices.”

The perfect paint job just rounds up the entire case which can hold up to 12 drives, has a removable motherboard tray and space for two 12 cm fans.

Galaxy GeForce 7300 GT GDDR3
Hexus :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
Using nearly exactly the same PCB and cooler as Galaxy’s 7600 GS GDDR3, and with as much memory (256MiB), really the only thing differentiating the two to look at is the backplane. The 7300 GT GDDR3 carries DVI and VGA, as well as video output, rather than the dual DVI of the 7600 GS.

Overclocking the AMD A64 4200+ AM2 Processor
Legit Reviews :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
“The AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ AM2 processor comes set to run at 1.35 Volts and to go higher than 2.76GHz we need to increase the voltage running to the processor. To do this we just need to go to the system voltage menu in the BIOS and increase the voltage from ‘auto’ to whatever Voltage you like. The BIOS cautions going over 1.65V and that’s not a concern since we just to bump it up to 1.55V to reach 3.0GHz on our processor…”

TR’s August 2006 system guide
The Tech Report :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
As we’ve seen in our review of the Core 2 lineup, these new CPUs pretty much unequivocally outclass the competition in both raw performance and power consumption. They’re rather affordable for new introductions, too. The original Pentium 4 1.4GHz started at $644 and required expensive Rambus memory, and the original Athlon 64 3200+ launched at $417. The Core 2 Duo line, meanwhile, starts at a recommended price of just $183. Add in relatively affordable DDR2 memory and some nice motherboard choices at around $150, and the Core 2 Duo is a very exciting choice indeed for early adopters.

ICYDOCK MB122 Docking Station
Pro-Clockers :: Thursday, August 10, 2006
The concept of removable hard drive docks have been around for some time now. So, when a company approaches stating that they want you to review one of these devices it is important that they bring something new to the board. Well, the company is Icy Dock and the product is a removable hard drive dock. But the difference between this and any other hard drive enclosure is the addition of a few touches to the device that make it more that a hard drive enclosure. The MB122 provides portability, security and monitoring and that is just for starters.
