XtremeResources today has published a review by our European Hardware Reviewer , Grace , of Crucial's latest High Performance offering, Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC2-5300 Memory.

Today 3DXtreme has the great pleasure of reviewing two mainstream video cards based on the nVidia 6600GT chip. Our samples are provided by eVGA and Chaintech, two of the industry leaders among video card and hardware manufacturers. With the emergence of high end video cards from nVidia and ATI, such as the 6800 and X800 series, the mainstream has largely been forgotten. Let?s take a look at these two video cards and see how they measure up in today?s gaming applications and a little later we?ll have a look at these cards in an SLI configuration and see how well they stack up against a current high end card.

Antec has aimed this product at the serious user, yet also the user that wants as close to silence as possible.

The company has also broken many of its own barriers from their standard Power supply range. The NeoPower is the first that has Active PFC functionality, its also the first which complies to the new standard of ATX12V v2.0 and also as far as I know it?s the first PSU EVER to have detachable peripheral cables.

In the past year, we have seen lots of memory rated at DDR500, so you may wonder why we are reviewing a new DDR500 memory today when there are now a few rare modules rated as high as DDR600. The answer is pretty simple, since OCZ PC4000 VX Gold is the only memory that we have ever seen rated at DDR500 2-2-2. While it is rated at DDR500 at these extraordinary 2-2-2 timings, it also carries a very high rated voltage of 3.3V - far beyond what most motherboards can supply.

When we got the call that ?the mother of all cards from hell? was about to arrive - looking back on our previous Gainward experiences we knew we were in for the time of our lives and a whole load of fun! In this instance we had only one test machine left due to our busy workload so we thought lets give this a review a twist!

Computer enthusiasts want to spend every last penny of their disposable income on the latest and greatest hardware. They always want a faster graphics card, a new microprocessor, faster RAM, a new motherboard, a bigger (storage wise) or faster hard drive and a better case, in that order.

With a digital or analogue input, claimed 10ms response times and a killer price, could iiyama's ProLite E435S be the LCD screen that finally gets you to bin that old CRT? 3DVelocity think it might be!

So, with price, response times, and text handling stacked against them, why would I even want to review an LCD monitor at all? Well, the answer is that this particular model claims it can tackle all three shortcomings head on and succeed! Marketing BS or a display that may at last get me to switch camp and join the LCD revolution? We shall see.

Shuttle introduces their first XPC based on the BTX design and it sure is a good looking and an extremely quiet SFF system.

Intel is back in the spotlight with an evolution of the Prescott core. Three main innovations have been introduced compared to the Pentium 4 5xxJ, which was released last November. The cache L2 has been increased from 1 MB to 2 MB and it supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep (EIST) and Enhanced Memory 64 (EM64T) technologies. Behardware.com has tested the Pentium 4 660 and EE 3.73 GHz processors to see if this new series will be good enough to compete with AMD?s products.

I have just finished my review of the Club-3D X800XL 256MB PCI-Express card.

With two 400MHz RAMDACs to convert digital data to analog signals for the monitor. SmartShader HD technology with 16 pixel pipelines for a fast fill rate, and 6 parallel vertex pipelines for up to 700 million vertices per second and an overall capability of over 200 billion floating points per second. 256MB GDDR3 memory for fast data rates and 3Dc image technology for increased performance and lower memory usage.

The PowerColor Theater? 550 Pro home-entertainment system combines the latest technology such as hardware-accelerated 12-bit decoder video processing engine with a high-end 3D comb filter and noise reduction technology that significantly enhances fine-detail to video by adding luminance and chrominance to composite video and TV tuner signals to eliminate color bleeding and other artifacting that would otherwise cause degradation in the image quality in prior standards.

Speeze has been in the cooling products game for a number of years. With this sort of pedigree we were really excited when we received this cooler. First of all, i just wanted to point out that Speeze has some of the coolest names for Heatsink/Fans (HSF) i have ever seen. This model is designed for the Intel Pentium 4 and it is called the Coppersnake III. Gone are the days of product numbers. Now, even our HSF have names!

We've all seen it happen. First there was the optical "look-at-it-glow" mouse then the wireless mice came quite fast afterwards, and the combination of the two was inevitable. A couple of months ago the laser "watch-out-for-the-eyes" mouse made its introduction. But this tops it all off: The battery free wireless mouse from A4 Tech.

When Corsair first brought its Pro series of memory to the market, it grabbed quite a bit of attention from the enthusiast community. After all, Corsair was the first to bring the "LED lights on memory" idea to reality.

With Windows x64 Edition nearing its' full release date, Intel has released their 64bit capable 6XX and Extreme Edition line of processors to tackle the new 64bit challenge and the nice thing is if you own a Intel® 925XE Express or i915 based chipset motherboard, 64bit computing is only a processor and a BIOS flash upgrade away.

XtremeResources takes a look today at a Power Supply Unit by a late blooming company in the EU by the name of Listan. Our European Hardware Reviewer ,Grace got her hands on their latest offering, the Blackline BQT P5-470W-S1.3 and took a thorough look at it's construction and performance attributes.

Today 3DXtreme is reviewing two of the latest Cases in the NZXT family, the Nemesis and the Nemesis Elite. Nowadays the Case that is used is just as important as the individual parts that are installed into it. NZXT offers some of the most unique looking Cases on the market while never leaving the product feel stripped of useful features. These new Cases add to the ever growing product line at NZXT.com.

January 2005 is a very good month for fans of LCD monitors as some amazing changes have come about. Samsung announced that it will progressively move towards a zero dead pixel policy, and prices have decreased so much that supplies now exceed demand. The real winners of all these changes are buyers who now have the option of bigger and cheaper monitors. 20? LCDs are now more and more affordable. These 1600 x 1200 pixels monitors, instead of 1280 x 1024 for 17? and 19?s, now target the general public. Behardware.com has tested the Acer AL2021MS, Belinea 10 20 05, Dell 2005FPW, LaCie Photo20Vision II, Nec LCD 2060NX, Philips Brillance 200P4SS and Sony SDM-S204H.

The last time we reviewed a Visiontek product was the X800XT in November of last year, since then we have looked at the majority of models coming from the ATI/partner stable. The ATI PCIexpress range is technically very strong across the board, but many people are disgruntled with availability, especially when we look at the Platinium Edition models.
