Crucial Ballistix 1GB Kit DDR2-800/PC2-6400 (BL2KIT6464AA804) Memory Review
OC Inside :: Monday, October 30, 2006
Not only Intel PCs are using DDR2 modules, in the meanwhile it is also necessary for AMD PCs to look for DDR2 memory modules. Who like to upgrade for example to a current AMD Socket AM2 system, will find only the newer 240-pin DIMM sockets instead of the usual 184-pin sockets on these motherboards. However, in spite of the higher memory bus range you should expect no miracles. The Crucial Ballistix 1GB Kit (BL2KIT6464AA804) with 2x512MB PC2-6400/DDR2-800 CL4 memory modules are tested with usual frequencies, and with highest possible clock speeds in this test report.

Fedora Core 6 Zod Review
Phoronix :: Monday, October 30, 2006
“After three last-minute delays, Fedora Core 6 is finally being pushed out the door this morning. Fedora Core 6 is codenamed Zod, and is being released seven months after the much anticipated and well-deserved launch of Fedora Core 5. Yarrow, Tettnang, Heidelberg, Stentz, and Bordeaux were all exceptional or ground-breaking releases in one way or another, but what is new for Zod? After the release of Fedora Core 6 Test 1, we had written up a small preview of that development release to shed some light on what would hopefully hit the Fedora Core 6 development cycle. Today we will share with you everything that has made the cut for Zod. We have been fortunate enough to obtain an early copy of the final Fedora Core 6 spin, so we have all of the details for you this morning, so grab your coffee and enjoy!”

ATI or NVIDIA – The Battle For Adult Gaming GPU’s
Legit Reviews :: Monday, October 30, 2006
“When the game installs it’s set to run default in OpenGL mode and when using NVIDIA based graphics cards the gaming experience was found to be flaccid as the stuttering and jaggies were making Jenna less than attractive. Since the NVIDIA slogan is “the way it’s meant to be played” we were let down as Jenna wasn’t meant to be played like this.”
Revoltec VGA Graphic Freezer Pro
Bjorn 3d :: Monday, October 30, 2006
With the increasing power of video cards comes an increased need for good cooling. The stock cooling you find on both NVIDIA and ATI video cards do keep the video cards cool but often at the expense of a higher than acceptable noise level.
Asus M2R32-MVP CrossFire Xpress 3200 Motherboard Review
PC Stats :: Monday, October 30, 2006
“A year ago we would have never expected to say this, but ATi’s CrossFire Xpress 3200 (aka the ATi RD580) Northbridge and SB600 Southbridge combo are as strong as the equivalent chipsets from nVidia. The Asus M2R32-MVP motherboard is moderately priced for a socket AM2 platform. The M2R32-MVP supports all Socket AM2 processors from the AMD Sempron to Athlon64, X2 and FX processors. There are four DDR2 DIMM slots which accommodate as much as 8GB Of DDR2-800 memory. The two PCI Express x16 slots are obviously for videocards, and Crossfire Edition videocards in particular if dual-card gaming is your thing. ”
Gigabyte 3D Rocket II Cooler GH-PCU23-VE Heatsink Review
Frosty Tech :: Monday, October 30, 2006
“Following in the footsteps of the 3D Rocket and 3D Cooler before it, the Gigabyte 3D Rocket II GH-PCU23-VE heatsink takes a similar approach to cooling the full spectrum of processors – but with an aim towards reduced temperatures and noise output. The bright blue LEDs make Gigabyte’s 3D Rocket II cooler a great candidate for windowed chassis. The GH-PCU23-VE is compatible with socket 478 & 775 Intel Pentium 4, and socket 754/940/939 & AM2 AMD Athlon64 processors”

ECS P965T-A at Overclockers Online
Overclockers Online :: Monday, October 30, 2006
The ECS P965T-A is a solid board on what is now arguably the fastest platform for near any task, provided you’ve got the right CPU of course. ECS has given this board a lot to make it appealing to your average user, but has also left a lot out that would have otherwise made it a real winner for the enthusiast. The board has been incredibly stable and performs well, but until something more is done to this boards BIOS what you see is what you get.
AimBlade reviewed
Burnout PC :: Monday, October 30, 2006
“What would you think if I said that Im using this product daily? Because I am !! I can’t seem to work without it ! It takes 2 days to get used to. But once you got used to it, you’ll love it. You don’t want to game or work without it anymore. Sure the logo on the aimblade it self vaguely disappears after a while, but who cares. This product has to function, it has to give you something in return. And I’ve got used to working with the aimblade, mainly for my left arm with typing. And it rocks !”
Why AJAX Websites Taste Like Fast Food
Big Bruin :: Monday, October 30, 2006
If you have ever bought a hamburger and fries from an efficient fast-food outlet, you will easily understand the web development concept called ‘AJAX’ (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML). Why? Because the AJAX strategy is uncannily similar to that used in a quality fast food establishment.
ThermalTake Mozart Tx Case
GideonTech :: Monday, October 30, 2006
“Fresh from Thermaltake, let me introduce the new Mozart TX Case. This is not a standard case, in fact, it is larger than any case I have used at home to date. Not only is it very tall, but it is cube style and thus much wider than a standard case. Also available are four expansion kits which can turn it into a full blown media center.”
Jetart CK5000 RAM Heatsinks
Bjorn 3d :: Monday, October 30, 2006
Once upon a time not long ago, the computer had only one heatsink dwelling deep inside its case. Some readers might remember “the good old days” when the most you had to worry about for system cooling was getting a heatsink with a fan that actually worked. Then as systems improved, so did system cooling with it. Before long, case fans were added, and even the motherboard chipset came equipped with a heatsink. As progression would dictate, it wouldn’t take but a few moments in time before there was a heatsink on everything that produced heat; including the system and video RAM.
ATI Radeon X1900 XT 256 MB
techPowerUp! :: Monday, October 30, 2006
ATI’s new X1900 XT 256 MB is designed to fit into the price range that is bound by the X1900 GT on the lower end and the X1900 XT 512 MB on the upper end. In order to bring the card’s price down ATI chose to reduce the total memory size from 512 MB to 256 MB. Also a bit slower memory is used. We test how big the performance difference to the more expensive X1900 XTX with 512 MB is.

Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX CPU Cooler
Think Computers :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
“A little while ago Thermaltake released the Big Typhoon CPU cooler. It was a really great CPU cooler and performed well. Now Thermaltake has just released the updated version of the original Big Typhoon, the Big Typhoon VX. The Big Typhoon VX has been outfitted is a fan control knob right on the top of the cooler for easy fan speed switching. The Big Typhoon VX has also been updated to fit AMD’s new AM2 specification, so let’s take a look!”
NZXT Apollo Midtower Case
Barry’s Rigs n Reviews :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
“Premium tower cases offer the ultimate in cooling, convenience, expansion and bragging rights—with a price tag to match. At the other end of the spectrum are budget cases with fewer features and sometimes—unfortunately—compromises in quality and functionality. So what if you’re in the market for a high quality, stylish and functional case for under $100, to build your next game or LAN Party rig? Simple—you choose the NZXT Apollo!”
Sumo Lounge Omni Bean Bag Chair Review 
XYZ Computing :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
“Sumo Lounge’s Omni is not just any bean bag. The term ‘bean bag’ probably brings you back to your childhood and thoughts of a large foam-filled sphere with a rubbery exterior. Well, those days are long gone because the bean bag, if you can even still call it that, has gone high class. As seen in the Omni, and also in the Fatboy, there is a market for products like that one you used to kick around your basement, but with much higher quality and better design. After all, with a few improvements, the bean bag could actually be a useful and extremely versatile piece of furniture.”
Travel Meets Web 2.0
XYZ Computing :: Sunday, October 29, 2006
Recently I had a chance to use one such site during its beta period. Travelistic is based on a very simple concept: the Travel Channel meets YouTube. Travel research is a considerable force on the internet, so why not have a video site devoted to trips to cool places, right? The goal is to get videos shot around the world, from people around world, and post them in one place. Here people should be able to learn about a particular destination through videos posted both by amateurs and professionals.
