SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 USB Flash Drive Review
TrustedReviews posted a review of a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 USB Flash Drive

It was some time ago that Sandra sang the praises of the concept of the U3 drive, so when I was recently I offered a chance to look at a 2GB U3 drive from SanDisk, I was happy to accept.

The U3 drive concept is thus: instead of your USB memory key merely being dumb storage a U3 drive contains preinstalled software applications. The idea is that all your major applications run from your USB key rather than from the hard disk of the PC you plug it into. This gives you the advantage of being more easily able to transport your work around with you and increase security by protecting you from viruses that can lurk on PCs.

ASRock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 Review
OCW posted a review on ASRock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 board

ASRock's ALiveXfire-eSATA2 is the first AM2 board from ASRock that uses ATi chipset. ASRock never fail to shock us by their innovation. Never did I expect them to pair up an older RD480 with the newest SB600 from ATi for
CrossFire solution!. On the ALiveXFire-eSATA2, the ATi RD480+SB600 pair is used to support dual PCIe x8 for CrossFire or single PCIe x16.

bit-tech posted a review on the Gigabyte 'Quad' P965 board

If you are looking for the best Core 2 motherboard out there at this moment in time, you need look no further than Gigabyte's GA-965P-DQ6. It is fair to say that the board isn't quite perfect and there is certainly room for improvement in some minor areas. However, Gigabyte has mostly delivered on the features front and it has certainly delivered on the engineering front.

ECS KA3 MVP Extreme Crossfire Xpress 3200 Motherboard Review
PC Stats put up an ECS KA3 MVP Extreme Crossfire Xpress 3200 Motherboard Review

While the ease of enabling SLI has really propelled nVidia's dual videocard solution into a mainstream product realm, ATI's 'Crossfire Edition' videocards seem destined to languish in obscurity for the rest of eternity. Put another way, it's telling when none of the major 3rd party manufacturers submit a major component of one of the "big two" videocard companies product lineup for review. PCSTATS will delve into these matters as we evaluate the new ECS Extreme KA3 MVP Extreme motherboard which is built upon the ATI 'RD580' CrossFire Xpress 3200 northbridge and ATI 'SB600' southbridge. ECS' KA3 MVP Extreme supports all socket AM2 processors on the market and accomodates 8GB of DDR2-800 memory in a dual channel configuration. Peripheral expansion comes care of a PCI Express x1 and two 32-bit PCI slots. The two PCI Express x16 slots are reserved for videocards, and operate with 16 PCI Express lanes each that connect directly to the 'RD580' Crossfire Xpress 3200 northbridge.

Seasonic M12 Modular 700W Power Supply Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Seasonic M12 Modular 700W Power Supply

The Seasonic M12 Modular 700W Power Supply performs very well, has a quiet 120mm fan, and another fan if it's required. This is a modular power supply. However, the main motherboard 20/24, 8pin, and 4pin leads are hardwired into the power supply and are not modular. Modular power supplies give you the freedom of selecting only the leads you require, therefore freeing up a lot of cable mess inside the case, thus increasing airflow.

HIS X1650 Pro IceQ Turbo PCIe Video Card Review
XYZ Computing has a new article out on the HIS X1650 Pro IceQ Turbo PCIe Video Card

This review is going to take a quick look at the HIS X1650 Pro Turbo 256MB Dual DVI video card. As soon as it was released this card started to take flak from analysts because while it is branded the "X1650 Pro", it is actually a revamped X1600 XT. Some manufacturers, like HIS, have incorporated a few slight changes to the speeds of the core or memory, but the fundamentals are largely the same.
