Kingston HyperX DC 1600 4 GB kit (KHX12800D3K2_4G) Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Kingston HyperX DC 1600 4 GB kit (KHX12800D3K2_4G).

When AMD brought the Phenom 2 X4 lineup off the drawing board to E-Tailers, it brought with it DDR3 Dual Chanel memory. Of late, the focus has been on Triple channel memory but with Phenom 2 and Core i5 making its debut soon, DDR3 Dual channel is going to be back in the news quickly. To that end we obtained a Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 4GB Dual Channel Kit to take a look at on the Phenom 2 Platform. We'll be running the HyperX through its paces and putting it against a single 4 GB kit of Crucial Ballistix that runs at 1333 to see if we get any performance gains from moving from 1333 to 1600MHz. Sometimes that little bit of extra speed can mean the difference between a snappy system and a system that seems to drag.

DIAMOND ATI Radeon HD 4870 PCIE 1024MB GDDR5 Video Card 4870PE51G Review
DragonSteelMods has posted a review on the DIAMOND ATI Radeon HD 4870 PCIE 1024MB GDDR5 Video Card 4870PE51G

Today for review I've got the Diamond ATI Radeon 4870 1gig video card. As you can see be the name it features 1 gig of ram, so I figured why not make this more of a comparison review as in how much performance do you gain when going from 512mb to 1gig of ram. So I put my Sapphire 4870 512mb card up against the Diamond, both are running the same core and memory speeds, so they're pretty much the same cards except for the on board ram they have. So read one to find out if it's worth it to grab the 1gig over the 512mb version card...

Asus Eee PC T-91: First Look

Near the beginning of the century, Bill Gates declared that the tablet PC would would become the most popular type of portable computer in the next five years. As we all know, they haven't, which means of course that he was wrong, which is sort of comforting for the rest of us.. this latest machine from Asus could herald a resurgence of the concept. Combining a tablet style twisting screen with a lightweight and small netbook makes a lot of sense - and that's what Asus has done with the T91...

Kingwin XT-1264 Review
OCC has published a new review of the Kingwin XT-1264

This heatsink is a little different than most ones that use 120mm fans in the fact that you can see the copper heatpipes on the bottom. It would appear that Kingwin is trying to get it so that the heatpipes come into direct contact with the CPU, which could actually improve heat dissipation since there is no other source of metal between the CPU and heatsink that would require more time for heat transfer. Apart from the heatpipes being copper, the rest of the heatsink is purely aluminum. Additionally, this heatsink only comes packaged with one fan and it would appear that it is not capable of using additional clips to secure another one to it, so one would have to resort to zipties for a push/pull configuration.

Tweaknews posted a review on the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4770 Videocard

The HD4770 at this time is the bargain of the lot and at an introductory US$99 price, two of these cards in a Crossfire setup would be a fast US$200 combo that would handle most games reasonably well even at higher resolutions.
