If you are anything like me you have quite a few gadgets lying around, most with their own chargers. This means you have a bunch of different cords to plug in, which takes up most of your power strip and just makes a mess of wires and connectors.
We have seen so many different Speeds of DDR3 ram on the market, ranging anywhere from 1066 Mhz to 2400 Mhz. The mid range ram used by most people is the DDR3 1600 Mhz. Crucial graced us with their new and upcoming ram and having seen the speeds of the ram we previously tested, we were eager to see what we could achieve.
I’m a multi-display guy and I have been for a long time. It is very hard for me to work with just one display

Sometimes when you’re on the go, electric outlets are either impossible to find or rarely available.
The Griffin is just one of the many awesome cases of IN WIN’s Destiny Series. This case is aptly named Griffin to convey a sense of the power and strength of the product.

We reviewed our first SandForce-based solid state drive about a month ago and since then the SandForce drives we have checked out have either been 120 or 128GB drives. While these are nice drives many people still cannot afford them. Today we will be looking at a 60GB drive that is based on the SandForce controller. The 60GB size is perfect for most systems as you can fit most of your programs and operating system on the drive then just use a regular SATA drive for all your media and other things. The 60GB size is also great for upgrading your laptop’s hard drive. Let’s check out the G.Skill Phoenix Pro 60GB Solid State Drive. Special thanks to G.Skill for providing us with the Phoenix Pro 60GB Solid State Drive to review.
At the end of last year week took a look at one of ASRock’s first nettop the ION 330HT , which was built around Intel’s Atom processor. With the release of Intel’s Core processors ASRock rebuilt their nettop series around this new architecture. These new nettops bring more processing power, full native 1080p playback, 7.1-channel HD audio, 802.11n wireless networking, and USB 3.0 support. We will be looking at the Core 100HT today which features an Intel Core i3-330M processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB hard drive and a SuperMulti optical drive. Let’s take a look and see if the Core 100HT is perfect for your home theater setup. Special thanks to ASRock for providing us with the Core 100HT Nettop to review. Specifications CPU – Intel ® Core™ i7 / i5 / i3 Mobile Processor Family Chipset – Mobile Intel ® HM55 Express chipset *Due to Windows ® XP and PCH chipset (HM55) limitations, if you use Windows ® XP, please disable the BIOS option “USB2.0 Rate Matching Hub” to make USB devices work properly
It’s been just over 1.5 years since I reviewed my first Intel X58 motherboard. I still consider the LGA 1366 Core i7 processor coupled with the X58 Express chipset an awesome combination, and just has to be that much better with the new six-core Core i7 980x Extreme. I haven’t had the opportunity to try one of those yet, though the price has dropped to $1K, it is still a little out of my hardware budget. Actually a lot out of my hardware budget. Though well equipped, including Asus’ TurboV, Asus Express gate, and Asus EPU6, among many other features, that first Asus X58 motherboard I had, the P6T, has become a little dated, especially compared to Asus’ newer motherboards. The P6T had 8+2 phase voltage regulating, Asus has since improved on that with other boards. And both USB3 and SATA 6Gb/s has been released since the P6T was released
Microsoft has opened up a beta test of Windows 7 SP1 , but only if you’re willing to sign on as an IT manager or professional. It’s not all that different from Microsoft’s normal course of action—corporate and IT go first, then consumers—but it’s actually a bit more open than normal, not requiring a TechNet subscription or the like. Microsoft goes out of its way to warn consumers off downloading the beta, as it “does not provide new end-user features.” At best, there might be some Wi-Fi and Bluetooth improvements, and maybe Bluetooth 3.0 inside, but if you’re really, truly eager to try out the service pack, before the anticipated public release later this month, you know where to look
