In this short tutorial we will teach you how to fix this and improve your Internet speed.

XYZ Computing has posted a SilverStone TJ09 Case Review

When SilverStone releases an aluminum tower-sized case, it is a big deal. This company has released hit after hit in their TJ series, including such memorable cases as the TJ03 (Maximum PC's Dream Machine Case 2004) and the TJ07 (Maximum PC's Dream Machine Case 2005 and XYZ Computing current test case). Now they have added another case to this line: the TJ09. This product is intended to be the ultimate in ATX case design, the price-is-not-a-factor, top-of-the-line case that competes with the best from Lian Li, Thermaltake, and other companies known for their aluminum design. (In case you were wondering, the TJ08 was an aluminum Micro-ATX tower. It is no slouch, but does not fall in the same category as all the other TJ cases).

PC Stats posted a first look at Biostar and ATi's RS690G

The AMD 690 chipset series will include variants incorporating integrated graphics processors (IGP) based on the former ATI's Radeon graphics technology, and is designed to be paired with the ATI-developed SB600 south bridge, said the sources. At least two IGP versions are planned which promise to offer higher visual performance than current IGP solutions, noted the sources. Additionally, the higher-end variant, the AMD 690G, will offer extra support for features including DVI, HDMI, and HDCP, added the motherboard makers.

NVNEWS posted an EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS SLI Review

I knew these cards were going to be powerhouses, but I wasn't quite ready for some of the performance I've experienced. If the GTS is this powerful, the GTX must tear the space-time continuum. EVGA has got a very solid package on their hands here.

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the G.Skill 2x1GB F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK DDR2 Memory Kit

For those who don't feel the need to overclock, as well as for those who are looking for RAM that is highly overclockable, these tests are vital. In this case, the H sort of lives up to its Hi-Performance title, as I was able to get 1012MHz at 2.3v and this was stable while running Prime95 x2

3D Game Man has posted a review on the SilverStone CFP51 Aluminum 5.25" to 3.5" Bay Converter

SilverStone CFP51 Aluminum 5.25" to 3.5" Bay Converter lets just about anyone add additional hard drives in their case. This is great news, since many mid-tower cases only have 3 or 4 internal hard drive bays. I really like the fact that SilverStone didn't make this an exclusive product for Silverstone Cases only. It's another sleek looking creation in their long list of quality products.
