These coolers are not for avant-garde overclocker's, nor were they designed with the overclocker in mind. I have read a few reviews on line where this product gets kicked in the proverbial nut sack for being crappy for overclocking, but why? It's not even made for that environment. The CM Sphere works much better that the stock Intel retail box heatsink, which works just fine for standard usage and also is not geared for overclocking. Under full load the copper version ran at just above 32C and the Jet black at 34C on the Intel and on the AMD system the copper ran at 38C and the Jet Black at 41C. The cooling fan is very silent and if noise is something you wish to avoid, the CM Sphere is something worthy of your consideration.

“ASUS has been gracious in providing us with two enthusiast minded solutions for both DDR2 and DDR3 utilizing the same P35 chipset, in the Blitz Formula and Blitz Extreme. Why would ASUS consider offering the two options? Well in a nut shell, it simply saves you some money since new memory standards are always costly at the start and some users would like to really maximize their DDR2 based system. ASUS is well aware of this and felt that there was no reason why both kinds of memory module owners couldn't have a little bit of cake and ice cream. The only question you would need to ask yourself is, which flavor ice cream you would like.”

We know this game has gotten a ton of praise from every possible reviewer, but I have a hard time giving a game blind praise because the graphics are pretty (which they most certainly are) or they add supposed "innovation" to a type of gaming by more or less taking all the rules of Real Time Strategy and throwing them out the window. I guess what it all boils down to is that I'm disappointed.

Compared to the aforementioned stock core clock speed of a GeForce 8800 GTS board of 500MHz, XFX's offering sees a 150MHz increase, giving it a final core clock of 650MHz. This also translates into a 400MHz change in the Stream Processors' clock speed, up to 1.6GHz from 1.2GHz on a reference part. Finally, memory clocks haven't been skimped on either, with a 200MHz increase from 800MHz to 1GHz (2GHz effective). Some tasty improvements there, I'm sure you'll agree."

Ever since Intel released the 3 series chipset, DDR2 has had the wind taken from its sails so that DDR3 could make waves. This was meant with the best intentions, but as DDR3 was released to the public it didn't take long for people to realize it was still too immature to compete against DDR2 in regards to performance. This put the weight of the world back on the shoulders of DDR2, which has just earned a reprieve from execution. But now that manufacturers are tooling up for DDR3 production, there are only a few names remaining on the shrinking list which are still releasing high-performance system memory for the DDR2 platform.

“Antec makes some of the best PC cases and power supplies available today. As far as cases go their Performance One series has been at hit. We have seen the P150, P160, P180, and P182 cases. Now it's time for the "Big Boy" the P190. The P190 combines 2 Antec power supplies with the P190 chassis giving you an all-in-one powerful system.

"M-Audio recently broke into that fledgling market with its IE-40 professional reference earbuds, which claim to boast the same quality of sound reproduction as studio-grade reference speakers, with a price to match. They take many of the same technologies used in full-size loudspeakers and shrink them down into a portable ear-sized package."

“OCZ plays the high-end game almost exclusively, and has innovation and performance marks to back up the company’s rep. Given all that, their Platinum series is about as vanilla as they scoop. No SLI EPP features, no Vista certification, no extreme heatspreaders or water blocks; just sleek, downright minimalist looks, and a bar they, themselves, have set high.”

Despite having a number of models available, ASUS is still not a name that's synonymous with notebooks. But one thing is certain, they don't push out poorly designed products. We are taking a look at a perfect example of what a quality notebook should be, with the G1S gaming series.

Flash memory is a diverse product used everywhere from cell phones to PC storage devices. As it is relatively cheap and the production is abundant, it is no wonder it has became so popular. There are many types of flash memory cards available, but only 4 or 5 are deemed as major. Today we will take a look at the Gaming Edition flash memory cards from Lexar, designed to be totally compatible with gaming consoles and equipment. There are only two Gaming Edition cards which Lexar produce, a Memory Stick Duo Pro card which is commonly present on all Sony hardware and gaming consoles, and a Secure Digital card which is the most widely used flash card available and can also be found on Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii.

Ok guys when you think of things you'd want to put on your top ten list for problems America has to deal with, what would they be. No not terrorism. No. not education. Not poverty. Not homelessness. Not zombies. In fact, if the actions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) have anything to say about it, the biggest threat to our American way of life is console modding. Yes console modding.

When the dust settles, OCZ has released an excellent product at an even better price point. With the exception of the added height, the OCZ Reaper Memory Kit is something well worth considering for folks needing an upgrade but not quite ready for a full on DDR3 jump which would mean a new motherboard.

The ATP Petito 2 GB USB stick features a solid metal shell which helps make the drive a lot more resilient to damage.

“When you are working long hours or are doing some serious gaming nothing can keep you going like a nice cold drink. The problem is once you get a drink from the fridge and take it into your office there is no way of keeping it cold. Also if you are at a LAN party and you don't have access to a refrigerator there is no way to get a nice cold drink. This is where the Brando USB Mini Fridge comes in. It is powered by USB and can keep your drinks cold while you are doing work or gaming.”

“The average price I can find for the DS107+ is about $330. This seems like an amazingly good deal as far as I’m concerned. It’s external storage with gigabit Ethernet, a web server, iTunes server, backup utility for Cameras and USB drives. Plus the (near as I can tell), unique internal bit torrent download client that you can use from a remote location. It’s not so high priced that a small home business or family with a home network and a couple computers can’t afford it. With 500GB drives around $100, it’s a very cost effective solution.“

The Super Talent W186IUX2G8 DDR3 memory does very well, but it will be interesting to see where the lines are drawn as more DDR3 memory comes into the lab. The speeds are pretty amazing, particularly considering the standard is still in its infancy.

"We understand why AMD doesn't allow to retail cards like HD 2900 XT 1GB. Even after our first article of this series it was clear that the problem was not in memory capacity - 512 MB of memory was quite sufficient even for top graphics cards. There is nothing wrong with memory bus width either. The problem is in the core..."
