To gain a better understanding of how the performance of today's latest and greatest 2.5" mobile ATA drives looks, we've gathered seven drives from the likes of Fujitsu, Hitachi, Seagate, and Western Digital. This mix of drives includes a little of everything, including a 160 GB perpendicular monster and a couple of 7,200-RPM speed demons.

At ChileHardWare they've managed to come across a Socket AM2 processor, Athlon 64 X2 4000+, and they've posted some pictures of the new deliciousness. Just as expected the physical differences between the Socket AM2 processors and its Socket 939 siblings are very few, physically speaking.

6 different VGA coolers are tested in our latest roundup, products from Arctic Cooling, Sytrin and Zalman stressed using an XFX 7800GT running at default and overclocked speeds, while each heatsink is tested at different fan speeds and GPU temperature and noise readings are recorded. What cooler will suite you best? Read on to find out.

For FiringSquad's first video review, we'll be comparing the video processing capabilities of ATI AVIVO and NVIDIA PureVideo. Don't worry, we agree with you that most video reviews are boring. This one's different. This one isn't boring. We promise.

We take a look at the Quad Dual-Core Enterprise platforms, comparing Intel's Paxville (Xeon MP) 3.0GHz with AMD's Opteron 880 in a series of 64-bit database tests.

A pre-launch sample of Intel's Dempsey CPU and Bensley platform served as a sneak preview of what to expect. Our benchmarks also indicate how the platform will fare against AMD's Opteron 280.

A famous overclocker aka Coolaler posted some results of his overclocking experiment performed on a 0.065micron Celeron M version when this baby reached 2.6-3.0GHz core frequency in an AOpen i975Xa-YDG mainboard based on i975X chipset and equipped with a powerful air cooler.

We round up eight sideways-gusting CPU coolers under fifty bucks to see if they can keep an overclocked FX-60 from welding itself to the motherboard. Will these horizontal blowers turn the world of CPU cooling on its side?

We do an overclocking double take with the Asus A8R32-MVP and the new 0404 bios. Is there improvement or will the hardcore enthusiast remain disappointed?

If you recall, Gainward launched a 512MB AGP based 7800 GS recently which actually had 20 pipelines instead of 16. Essentially the card was a 7800 GT in disguise and was above and beyond the performance of any other AGP card available. Gainward have a new card on the way with the exact same naming scheme as before except with the addition of a ?+?. The full name is the BLISS 7800 GS SILENT 512MB GS+. . The new ?+? refresh part looks set to move the specs away from 7800 GT territory and instead move them toward the 7900 GT. AGP users rejoice!

Not to rest on their laurels, NVIDIA updates their top-end mobile GPU with the new GeForce Go 7900 GTX. Along with it is the new Go 7900 GS which is slower, but consumes much less power. The best news is that you can buy it today!

There are times when an ultra slim notebook just doesn?t cut it. Times when you wish it had more power and could do more, much more than what a regular Sony VAIO would let you do. The Qosmio F20 is an answer to just such a need, provided you are willing to turn a blind eye to its "slightly" bulky size and weight.

Maxtor unveiled its new OneTouch III Mini Edition external hard drive today. The small device weighs a mere 7 ounces and sports a rugged design with rubber side panels, so you should be able to toss the OneTouch into bags without fearing damage. The little drive comes in 60GB and 100GB capacities.

The info is about a potential new AMD processor. Allegedly, the green camp is developing a sort of "Anti-Hyperthreading," which would allow two (or multiple) physical cores to emulate one physical core.

The latest NVIDIA roadmaps show what we had all expected -- a single package unified MCP and GPU: the MCP61. MCP61 is the codename for NVIDIA's upcoming AM2 IGP chipset.

just in case some readers here don't have their ear as tightly pressed to the ground as others, i will summarize and let you know what has happened that can make it very easy to fake memory overclocks...and i don't want any of our friends here buying bad memory because of this.

Intel Centrino Duo platform has come out and the stores started offering notebooks with dual-core architecture. However, will the dual-core mobile architecture be as successful as in the desktop and server segments?

Chances are, you don't think about the consequences of having a corporate cell phone, even if the phone contains a camera. Nowadays snapping shots on a cell phone has become quite popular and convenient; but what if employees use a company camera phone to snap indecent photos of themselves or others? Who would then be liable for illegal behavior?the phone carrier or the employer?
