Sapphire HD 4670 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at Sapphire HD 4670

AMD’s launch of HD 4000 series cards hit the industry with a big boom. Not only that, the HD 4870 is able to perform close to, or in some instances better than, the NVIDIA GTX 280. Also, it is selling at cheaper price than the GTX 280. So finally, the graphics war, in which NVIDIA has enjoyed dominance for awhile, is heating up again.

As usual, after the initial launch of the high-end cards, manufactures will make some modification, disable certain features, and tweak their chips to produce mainstream and budget graphic cards. For AMD, the HD 4670 is their budget derivative that stems from their HD 4800. This card, which sells at retail for $80, is in direct competition to the NVIDIA 9500GT that was launched last month. We have previously looked at Foxconn’s 9500 GT and today we will put the cards against each other to see if we can give some insights to our readers who are in the market for a new budget card.

Wired USB keyboards still have an appeal in the market of USB peripherals due to no battery dependencies, no link disruption due to other wireless devices operating in the near vicinity and better compatibility with USB hosts than wireless keyboard variants. Even though they are primarily intended for professional gaming, there is still a lot of room for improvement as our operating systems migrate from our computer room into our bed room and living room. Today we will trial Logitech's newest keyboard entry featuring backlight key illumination and aimed at gamers and office users alike. Let's find out if its sleek looks, thin profile and illuminated keys can steer users back to wired USB keyboards.

4GB DDR3 1,600MHz to 1,800MHz memory roundup - Part 1
Bit-Tech published the first part of their 4GB DDR3 1,600MHz to 1,800MHz memory roundup

The G.Skill F3-12800Cl7D-4GBPI is a solid product with great performance potential and overclocking that's good value compared to the competition. We like the Pi heatspreaders and the lifetime warranty offered by G.Skill, although on the whole it's not an extra special product.

If you're interested in the super high end and want 2x2GB of memory - keep an eye out of the G.Skill F3-14400CL8D-4GBGT1 "GT1s" because they should be among the best there is. The price //should be very competitive, the cooling is actually no noisier than Corsair's Dominator with fans overhead but the RamOrbs will certainly cause at least some of you reading to turn your noses up - it'll be a field splitter.

Our recommended product has to be the Corsair TW3X4G1600C9DHX though. With virtually the same performance potential of memory twice the price, the best passively cooled memory solution out there, a lifetime warranty and a superb support forum, it's //the DDR3 product that bridges the gap between itself and DDR2. If you're upgrading to DDR3, on any board - get some of these modules and have some fun.

Xigmatek Red Scorpion Review
PureOverclock published a review of the Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283 CPU Heatsink.

On the test bench today is Xigmatek's Red Scorpion S1283, which offers Heatpipe Direct Touch (HDT) technology, a new trend in tower-style heatsinks. We'll be comparing this to a couple other very capapble coolers to determine its cooling efficiency. The Scorpion sure looks good, but cooling is king, so we'll see if it's regal or reject.

Samsung S3 MP3 Player Reviewed
TweakTown posted a review on the Samsung S3 MP3 Player

Arriving on my doorstep recently was a sleek and sultry little number from the big S, their new S3 series MP3 player. The version sent to me by post as pictured is the “pretty in pink” model, because as a modern 20something guy, I’m secure in my manliness...

The menu system of the player is fairly intuitive and you will rarely find yourself flummoxed or lost in menus, so it’s easy to switch into DSNe 2.0 environments while playing a track. There is a bunch of standard pre-sets offering you EQ boosts and then there are spacial simulators to give the effect of a concert hall or a stadium gig.

Cooler Master HAF 932 Case Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new super case from Cooler Master the HAF 932

First Impressions are the lasting ones. Still you cannot always judge a book by its cover, and the Cooler Master HAF 932 is one of these situations. Most people will either love the look, or just down right hate it. Still once you get past the "Mad Max" aesthetics of hardline cages and mesh over every opening you will begin to start respecting what the HAF 932 has to offer including the incredible airflow from 3 x 230mm fans and 1 x 140mm fan on the rear.

A news posting would be appreciated
