TrustedReviews have a feature titled "Back to the Future: The Way Ahead for
Firefox"

The success of the open-source Firefox browser, which first appeared in 2002 under the guise of Phoenix, is something of an Internet phenomenon. We’re very fond of it in the TR offices; so fond in fact that Internet Explorer is relegated to the not so taxing task of downloading Firefox and thereafter is ignored. And with 30 per cent of TrustedReviews readers using the browser, it’s obviously popular with some of you too.

FrostyTech posted a review on the TTIC nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big Heatsink

The (TTIC) nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big heatsink is a huge low noise cooler, but in fact it's that large size which allows it to operate without too much noise. The nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big is a deceptively simple combination of heat column and aluminum fins, intended for a Socket 754/939/940 AMD Athlon64 processor near you. At the heart of this heatsink is a huge copper cylinder; this is the heat column. The heat column is a 33mm diameter hollow copper cylinder which is vacuum sealed, creating the ideal environment for a special chemical coating on the inside that "superconducts heat axially at a molecular level." The technology works on a related concept to traditional heatpipes, but is physically different and should not be confused with the latter.

APH Networks takes a look at the V-MODA Vibe Earphones

Although sound products are not necessarily the primary focus here at APH Networks, from time to time we'd like to work with quality audio products to expand upon on what we listen to.

Will it meet our expectations? There's only one way to find out: My first hand experience, and what everyone else here at APH who has also had a first hand experience has to say.

PC Stats posted an AOpen Mini PC MP945-VX Ultra Small Formfactor PC Review

The AOpen miniPC MP945-VX is built with Intel's very reliable 945GM and ICH7M chipsets (a pair of mobile core logic), and supports the Intel Core Duo Socket 478 mobile processor family. Everything else is based on notebook hardware which is compact, cool running, and quiet. The barebones AOpen miniPC MP945-VX system does not include a processor, memory or hard drive but does come with everything else including a dual layer slot loading DVD burner and wireless LAN.

XSReviews has reviewed the Connect3D x1950XTX

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have come on leaps and bounds in the last year as we saw the two graphics giants, ATI and Nvidia, battling it out for the performance crown. Unfortunately for the ATI fan boys Nvidia stormed ahead with the release of their 8800 range of cards. However, all is not lost as ATI's hard hitting x1950 series of cards comes with a brand new cooler, DDR4 and claims of excellent image quality. Today we have Connect3D's x1950XTX, read on to see what we thought.

MetkuMods took a closer look at Razer Gaming Keyboard

In the very ends of the board are 15 extra buttons we've used to see on top of the keyboard. Razer has included all the necessary buttons to control a media player to the right hand side, and Zoom, 100% and Rotate buttons to the lower left. These can be used in Windows' Fax and Image watching utility. On the top left there are keys for hibernate and to open a new browser window. Due to these buttons being on the sides rather than on the top, the Tarantula is sligtly longer than generic boards (51 cm).

XYZ Computing posted a Samsung K5 MP3 Player Review

Lately Samsung has done a great job of turning things around. The company has seemingly decided to really make some headway in the digital audio market with a few devices that combine form and function in a way that we would expect from Samsung. In the T9 Samsung has a solid product that has finally managed to get some attention as a great iPod alternative, but the really exciting product from them this season is what we will be looking at today: the K5. The K5 has a few things going for it, but the foremost is an integrated set of speakers. That's right, built-in speakers in a Nano-sized player. None of your friend's are going to care about the 1.8" OLED display, FM tuner, or the 4GB capacity when you take out the K5, put in on your desk, and flip those speakers open.

Tweaknews.net posted a Saitek A-100 My Spkr Ipod Speaker System Review

I always like a product that does what it says it will and does it well. Saitek has such a product in the A-100 My Spkr. This simple yet elegant device belts out the tunes with impressive clarity and the bass response is really amazing for its size. Small light and portable, the A-100 may find a large audience.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Iiyama ProLite X486S-B1 19in Gaming TFT

I must admit that I was a little surprised when Iiyama popped round to the TrustedReviews offices to see if we would be interested in reviewing a regular 19in monitor. These days it’s all about the widescreen, and we looked at Iiyama’s own 22in display a few months ago. However, the X486S is more than just another LCD monitor.

DriverHeaven posted a review on the Nvidia 8800 GTX SLI

While many other sites published rushed reviews on 8800 SLI to get the hits, we were testing and reporting various bugs with companies to give you the definitive review of Nvidia's 8800 solution in SLI.

Over 2 months in the making, with testing on a Vapochill overclocked Quad Core CPU @ 4GHZ with a selection of 8800 SLI solutions from Foxconn, Asus and XFX. Not only are we testing at the highest resolution with all the eye candy on full but we have over half a gigabyte of downloadable High Definition content for you to look at. If your internet connection can handle it.

Bjorn3D posted a HIS X1650XT 256MB Video Card review

Unfortunately this means it might be a bit hard for a regular user to keep up and to figure out which card is better than the other. The card I am testing today, the HIS X1650XT IceQ Turbo, uses the relatively new graphic chipset, the x1650XT from ATI. While the name suggests it is nothing more than a slightly faster X1650 Pro, the truth is that it is much more than that.

ClubOC posted an abit AW9D-Max Motherboard review

I remember the first abit board I ever owned. It was the legendary BH6. It was the first real overclocking board I owned and it was the first time that I saw this thing that abit called Soft-menu. It seems that abit had come up with a way to make changes to the voltage, FSB, etc in the BIOS without using jumpers or dipswitches. My point is, abit has been there since the beginning of overclocking and has developed innovative ways to help us out, like coming up with a way to overclock through the BIOS. I'm glad to see abit still around and still innovating, but I'm especially excited to see what the AW9D-Max can do. Let's dive in and find out.

Bjorn3D posted a review on the FOXCONN 975X7AB-8EKRS2H Motherboard

Up for review today is FOXCONN’s premium Intel motherboard, the 975X7AB-8EKRS2H. Despite the mouthful of a name, for those few users that are able to get around and decode the name it does contain a good deal of information regarding the motherboard it represents.

While I’ll get into details regarding its name later, I should first point out that the Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRS2H is fully Core 2 Duo ready. Foxconn has a previous product titled, you guessed it, 975X7AA-8EKRS2H, that is not compatible with Core 2 Duo processors, so hence the “B” in the “975X7AB”. To recap, the board we have in this review is the “AB” product refresh/update with the needed changes having been made to the voltage regulator and BIOS.

ClubOC posted a review on the Swiftech Quiet Power P180 Water Cooled Case

Today we have quite a treat for our readers. Our friend Gabriel from Swiftech sent over their new Liquid Cooled Mid-Tower Computer Chassis based on the ultra high quality P180 case from Antec. Hey, if you're going to stick a water cooling kit in a computer case, you may as well start out by using the best case Antec has to offer right? Over the years we have worked on many liquid cooling projects with Swiftech. I consider Gabriel, the founder of Swiftech, to be one of the true pioneers of computer cooling technology. Because of innovative thinking by people like Gabriel, cooling a computer with water has gone from the leaky backyard built experiments with Tupperware containers and fish tank pumps to state of the art, high quality cooling kits built within strict specifications and tolerances that stand the test of time. I don't think I've ever seen a bad product from Swiftech, if fact when I think of Swiftech I think of the best of the best. Sorry, but it's hard to not rave on about what Swiftech has done for hard core computer enthusiasts. Let's take the Swiftech new Quiet Power P180 for a test run around the block!

Hardware Logic posted a review on the Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 Memory

Far be it for us as a review site to pick favorites, but one thing we can do is point out that Crucial's offerings have performed exceptionally well on our test benches in the past. Today's sample marks the third Ballistix product we've looked at in the past year, and fourth Crucial memory kit overall. Most recently we put their 10th Anniversary DDR2-667 kit under scrutiny and were blown away by the overclocking headroom. In fact, our only real gripe was we felt that it could (and should) have been marketed as a faster kit, so when we received Crucial's Ballistix DDR2-800 with respectable timings (4-4-4-12), we were eager to throw our gauntlet of benchmarks at 'em and see what kind of overclocking performance we could squeeze out of a higher clocked kit.

It performed as advertised and ran flawlessly over its rated spec. We never had any stability issues at all during the entire testing. Mushkin has a solid reputation when it comes to producing stable DDR/DDR2 ram, and their XP2-8500 didn't disappoint us.
