XtremeResources owner/reviewer Frank "Gooch" Haraguchi had the recent opportunity to test and evaluate Wintec's newest offering in the DDR2 flavor, their AMP-X PC2-5400 ram modules. Frank takes the ram through it's paces aboard an Asus P5AD2-E Premium with an Intel Pentium 4 530J 3.0GHz aboard with some top notch results.

In this review todoreviews.net are going to present the Soltek SL-K890Pro-939 motherboard, the first motherboard with KT890Pro chipset in the market. It´s a good solution to migrate to PCI-E on Athlon 64 systems using an alternative to nVidia. The new VIA chipset is the substitute to the K8T800Pro, VIA´s former Athlon 64 platform without PCI-E technology.

Today we are pleased to present a review of two new products from our good friends over at Logitech. Logitech has made a well known name for themselves with PC accessories ranging from wireless mouse and keyboards to speakers, game controllers and joysticks. As a gamer, Logitech is always releasing some new product that I try desperately to get my hands on and due to their great PR staff this has never been a problem. Today we are looking at the 1600 DPI Gaming Grade Optical Mouse and the affordably priced Z-2300 2.1 THX Certified Speaker Set.

In this article we are taking a look at three relatively new ATI based boards from the vendor Club 3D. The first of the boards is based on ATI?s lower cost, high performance board, the Radeon X800 XL with some additional features thrown in by Club 3D. The second board is the third of board in the X850 line-up that has been little seen thus far, the 12-pipelined Radeon X850 PRO. The third board finally sees some more ATI based AGP offerings on the market with the RIALTO bridged AGP Radeon X800 XL.

Corsair first dipped their toes into the reflective pools of water cooling back in 2003. Their product, aptly named Hydrocool was a self-contained "black box" which housed a pump, radiator/fan, reservoir, and electronics, including LED temp display. Corsair has recently returned to the CADCAM drawing board. This time they've eschewed the external box design, opting instead for an integrated system. Their new system given the moniker COOL is a partially pre-assembled affair and should provide the entry-level user, as well as those more familiar with H20 systems, a cooling alternative superior to air.

Today, MBReview has released their latest motherboard review. This time they've taken a look at Foxconn Winfast's NF4K8MC-ERS, a uATX motherboard based off of the standard nForce4 chipset. If you're in the market for a budget nForce4 motherboard, give this review a once over to see if this board looks like what the doctor ordered.

XtremeResources US reviewer Steve "WxChaser" Carmel pulls off another review this weekend, this time involving the mainstream, midrange enthusiast graphics card, the Chaintech 6600 GT SE6600G PCI-E.

The drive is one of the few multiformat drives in the world, also supporting DVD-RAM. And you can?t forget the fact that it?s currently the worlds fastest DVD-Writer with recording times below 5 minutes and 20 seconds for a full single layer disc. Another strong point is that it has good writing quality with almost all disc types and formats.

XtremeResources US reviewer Steve "WxChaser" Carmel today evaluates what may be the ultimate overclocking board produced so far for the AMD A64 platform, the DFI UT LP NF4 Ultra-D motherboard. This board and it's SLI brothers have broken numerous performance records around the world in both 3D and HTT overclocking, and in overall system performance.

Today TechTastic takes a look at Thermaltake's K450 which is part of a new line of heat sinks developed by their advance engineering team ITBU. The K450 is design to work effectively with Opteron and Athlon 64 processors, and features a high powered fan and heat pipe technology.

OCIA.net has posted a review on the Logisys One for All VGA Cooler! Here's a snip.

Our candidate for this cooler; my newly acquired XFX 6800 Ultra. At first glance the cooler on this card looks to be quite sufficient, even compared to the Logisys VGA cooler, but lets see...

Have you been thinking about picking up this little router but not sure about it yet?

Well LinksysInfo.org got their hands on one and put it through the paces.

Once again, I have to say that Silverstone has made a quality case. Based on a very solid chassis and built of strong steel with aluminum front bezel, this is one of the stronger cases you will find on the market. Aside from the issues we encountered and mentioned previously this case is still a great case for any build. There is tons of space for some of the biggest motherboards on the market. The drives are situated so that there is also plenty of space for lots of them. Even without the wind tunnel this case still provides good cooling for the system and plenty of airflow. This is definitely a recommended case for any system builder today.

XtremeResources European reviewer Grace today takes a look at a case offering by a relative newcomer to the computer case market, AeroCool. The unit being evaluated is the unique AeroEngine Jr Case.

Last Thursday Legit Reviews posted an article talking about the ability to run an Intel Pentium M on a Socket 478 motherboard thanks to the ASUS CT-479 upgrade kit. We have spent some time with the kit that we "pre-viewed" in the first article and now have some benchmark numbers to share. For this article we are using the ASUS CT-479 CPU Upgrade Kit on the ASUS P4P800 SE motherboard that uses the Intel 865PE chipset.

3DVelocity get hands-on with a great GPU and a graphics card from a company who are huge in Europe but less well known elsewhere, Club3D.

Club3D are a bit of a rare bird in that its product portfolio includes graphics products not only from NVIDIA, but also from ATi, XGI and S3 too. This may optimise their marketing possibilities but I wondered how it would impact on their relationship with the individual companies. The answer I got from the UK's Gary Jones was a very simple one...."it doesn't!

The Premium version of Asus' A8N-SLI motherboard allows you to turn on or off SLI in software, rather than requiring you to open your system case. Will this new feature help alleviate one of the issues that some people have with SLI?

Obviously the Athlon 64 4000+ is a little powerhouse. It's not for everyone though, the biggest problem right now is its pricing, which is in the 500-600 EUR/ USD range. That's a lot of money people. If you want the best though well, then nothing much can match this, except the even more expensive FX-55 CPU of course. Now I already stated this in the beginning, we are a hardware site with a strong focus on gamers. So if you ask me what a gamer should buy, at this time and moment it still is an AMD CPU. There's not one consumer Pentium 4 CPU out there that can match the game performance of this AMD CPU. If you are not so much a gamer and more a desktop/office user, you might miss HyperThreading. So as you can see it's not exact math here, both giants have slight advantages and disadvantages. But for a gamer the AMD CPU's still offer more bang for your bucks.
