Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 8GB PC2-6400 Low Latency Review
Futurelooks checks out some RAM for you DDR2 folks

The larger amount of RAM is used as cache for the Operating System, the large programs you’re using, and allows extra memory space for doing other things like running even more programs. Without the extra resources, your system’s computing power is greatly hampered because it has to juggle data around to make room as you open more programs. Often times that means swapping to the much slower hard drive which brings things down to a grind.

SuperTalent 128 GB UltraDrive ME (FTM28GX25H) Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the SuperTalent 128 GB UltraDrive ME (FTM28GX25H).

SuperTalent has successfully fielded it's new UltraDrive ME and LE series SSD's with their new Indilinx Barefoot controller. Some previous generations of SSD's used a mostly functional J.Micron controller that caused the drives to stutter during smaller 4k and 6k reads and writes. The new Indilinx Barefoot controller seems to have fixed a lot of those problems and all that's left is blazing speed. We've known of a few new controllers coming down the pre-production pipes for a while and have been hoping for a new controller that takes advantage of the raw speed of the SSD's without some of the inherent problems we've seen in past drives. The Indilinx Barefoot controller is a step in the right direction for SSD's, Indilinx releases regular firmware updates for their controllers and the updates for the Supertalent drives containing those controllers can be found on the SuperTalent webby listed with the UltraDrive series drives. Upgradable firmware on the UltraDrive series means that you can buy with confidence that any minor bug that's found can be corrected ensuring your SSD investment will remain state of the art for some time to come. Just how fast is the SuperTalent 128 GB UltraDrive ME we have to look at. It's so fast it blew past us before we could even get a good look at the benchmark results.

OCZ Technology Behemoth Gaming Mouse Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the OCZ Technology Behemoth Gaming Mouse

I found the OCZ Technology Behemoth laser gaming mouse to not only respond well, but it also performed great on many different surface types thanks to its double laser engine. Most importantly, while conducting the testing my hand was very comfortable and relaxed. Toss in the facts that the Behemoth looks great, is sturdy and well constructed, and you have a winning combination.

Thermaltake ElementS Review
TechwareLabs has published a review of the Thermaltake ElementS

In the ElementS series there's two types of cases, the VK60001N2Z(the one we're reviewing), and the VK60001W2Z. The difference is simple, VK60001W2Z has a side panel 240mm fan made mainly for VGA cooling. If you are planning on getting a Crossfire or SLi solution with 2 high end cards, or just impressing your friend with a huge fan, my suggestion is to get VK60001W2Z.

Lubix NC1 Bluetooth Stereo Headset Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Lubix NC1 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Make phone calls and listen to music in style and convenience with the Lubix NC1 Stereo Bluetooth Headset. With support for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and four built-in 3D sound modes, the Lubix NC1 headset makes a great pair of wireless headphones for listening to music in high-quality stereo. With Apple recently announcing that their iPhone 3.0 update will include support for stereo Bluetooth headsets, this should give a boost to the market and hopefully we will see an increase for the demands of devices like the NC1.

With AMD's latest high-end Radeon HD 4890 SKU, and the RV790 architecture which powers it, now well and truly established on the market, today we take a look at another factory overclocked part utilising just this configuration.

Samsung LN55A950 55" LCD TV Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Samsung LN55A950 55" LCD

Although we're primarily a computer hardware and tech gadget review site, every once and a while a review opportunity arises for something a little more out of the ordinary for us. Huge TV's are one of the things that fall into that category. I was pleasantly surprised when Samsung offered to send me their latest LN55A960 LCD TV with LED backlighting to review. Although we are not an AV review site, my look at this TV will certainly give you a much more in-depth explanation into it's features and some basic performance thoughts along the way.

Rbmods posted a review on the XTracPads Logic Mat

One majorly overlooked, yet crticial element when it comes to a gaming rig is a mousepad. It doesnt make the game run smoother or give it crisper details but it makes gaming alot easier. It improves tactile response and allows your movements to have more speed, comfort, and precision while gaming. Behold! The mousepad! Today, RBMods takes a look at three new Logic Mats from XTracPads. They come with a reusable adhesive backing to help prevent them from slipping and sliding on your desktop surface. Let's take a look at how they work.

Asus ENGTX260 Matrix Review
Neoseeker takes a look at the ENGTX260 Matrix, from AsusTeK

The Asus ENGTX260 Matrix is like a Porsche 911 Turbo with a engine-limiting chip in it that doesn't allow you to go over 90 MPH. Said another way, if there is only one flaw with this video card, it is that it doesn't take full advantage of itself out of the box, because it defaults to the standard GTX 260 speed, and the "Gaming" iTracker preset overclock is a bit underwhelming.

Cooler Master Storm Scout Review
OCC has published a new review of the Cooler Master Storm Scout

On top of the case is where the most appreciation might lie. Located on the top of the Cooler Master Scout is handle bar to help ease transportation of the case and its components. Unlike most low quality LAN cases with a handle bar, the Scout excels in this area, using a reinforced plastic material that makes it a strong and sturdy handle. The bottom of the case has a large vent area where the power supply would be installed. There is a surplus in connectivity to the front of the case, including three USB 2.0 ports, standard eSATA connectivity, a microphone and headphone jack, power and reset buttons, HDD LED and power LED, as well as an on/off LED switch for the front 140mm fan. Located at the end of the case is a 120mm fan.

Thermaltake Element S Mid-Tower Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Thermaltake Element S Mid-Tower Chassis

Thermaltake has been in the case game for quite a while now and I remember when the company first launched the Xaser series of cases. While not to everyone's liking, they did push the boundary with looks while also offering a pretty nice feature set at the same time.

Over the years we've seen more and more cases from Thermaltake and as someone who's a fan of cases that aren't all that loud, when it comes to the looks department the Element S from first glance looked like a nice case.

GSkill Falcon 128GB SSD review - It beats the OCZ Vertex ?
The Guru of 3D checked out the GSkill Falcon 128GB SSD

G.Skill has a product here that they should be very proud off, as they made a touch choice, they also are moving towards the all new Indilinx Barefoot controller inside that SSD drive. As such they can fight off the small-block size issues plaguing SSDs based on the JMicron controllers.

This product has that phat 64MB cache inside the Falcon to deal with it, and combined with Samsung NAND flash modules we reach over 250 MB/sec read speeds and get this, 190 MB/sec write speeds.

This product is as delicious as the OCZ Vertex SSD's, but definitely cheaper at 309 USD per 128GB drive.

Cooler Master Hyper N520 Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed Cooler Master Hyper N520

Coolers from Cooler Master Hyper product lineup have never disappointed us. Bottom line is: any cooler from this lineup always is best buy. One more characteristics of these models is simple and functional design without too much fiddling with bells and whistles. On the contrary, only "battle hardened" and well known solutions were used that always provide good results.
