Although at a MSRP of US$49.99 you might deem this mouse to be a little on the pricey side, as with any computer product, if you want to best, be prepared to pay for it. This mouse packs the precision, the features, the comfort and the quality a gamer will require to allow them to accurately game for years without a single issue. I have yet to have a single issue with any Logitech product. You buy it, you use it, you enjoy it like it isn't even there.

AMD's Dual-Core Opteron Processors @ TechReport
We've had a pair of dual-core Opteron processors on the test bench for some time now, and we're pleased to report some rather impressive results. AMD's dual-core design is something more than just a pair of CPUs glued together on a single piece of silicon, and this design choice yields a performance dividend. Keep reading to see how the new Opteron 275 stacks up against its Opteron predecessors and against Intel's latest "Nocona" Xeons. We also have a head-to-head battle of single-socket, dual-core workstation processors: the Opteron 175 versus the Pentium Extreme Edition 840.
Sansdisk 5 in 1 Card Reader
With the increased popularity of digital cameras, PDAs, etc, memory cards have become an integral part of our lives. Quite often, we just stick the memory card(s) into our device and forget about them but when you want to transfer information from your device to your computer or vice versa, suddenly a problem appears. It?s slow! Depending on what you are trying to do, it can actually go from slow all the way down to tedious. One way to rememdy this is to use a card reader. So today we're taking a look at one such card reader from Sansdisk, their USB 2.0 5 in 1 Card Reader.

Asus K8N-E Deluxe Motherboard Review
Today, we have its supposedly better version on our hands, and it would be an understatement if we say the board is better. For some reason, the 250Gb boards perform extremely well than their 250 predecessors. According to NVIDIA, the only difference between the two should just be the features, but as we apparently found out that wasn?t the case at all. Though this article primarily focuses on the features of K8N-E Deluxe over its K8N version, we suggest you look through our K8N evaluation to get an idea of how it performs.

Asus K8N Motherboard Review
After taking a look at VIA?s K8T800 chipset last week and NVIDIA?s nForce3-150 chipset internally in our labs, it?s clear that both chipsets failed to offer AGP/PCI lock and lacked features that would impress the high-end home user. There were instances where certain manufacturers were able to implement AGP/PCI lock on certain motherboards, namely Abit, but majority of them did not bother to do so. The problem was a tough one to crack, since the chipset never had support for the aforementioned feature initially. NVIDIA?s nForce-150, on the other hand, supported an AGP/PCI lock, but due to manufacturer?s mistake, it wasn?t implemented on many boards either. According to NVIDIA, many board makers wrote the BIOS incorrectly, which disabled the feature. Whatever the reason may be the initial socket 754 chipsets weren?t for the high-end overclocker.

CoolerMaster Vortex TX Review
OCIA.net has posted a review on the CoolerMaster Vortex TX HSF! Here's a snip.
The Vortex TX creates more airflow, higher air pressure, with ultra silent operation using a 92mm circular fan with wider blades. This fan also supports thermal speed control and PWM (pulse width modulation), both used to ensure the lowest amount of noise possible with acceptable temperatures. The omni-directional fins that you'll soon see provide concentrated cooling with maximum heat dissipation.

PalmOne Tungsten E2 PDA Preview
PalmOne has been a strong leader in developing Personal Digital Assistants or PDAs for the business class for quite some time. The company, rather obviously, is a global leader in PDAs and provides almost all accessories to support their products. This includes accessories from necessary software to hard cases and much more. Recently, PalmOne made the announcement to introduce a more value class PDA to the market, Tungsten E2. The Tungsten E2 is originally developed from its predecessor, the regular E version and carries more or less the same feature set. Although the differences between the two are far and between, could this be the right PDA for you?

Abit KV8 Pro Motherboard Review
Abit is a name synonymous with high-quality, rock stable and overclocking friendly motherboards. The company caters to enthusiast needs and is truly an innovator in the industry. Throughout the years, Abit has innovated exclusive technologies that allow overclockers to push their systems to extreme limits. These technologies include their famous SoftMenu BIOS and the latest uGuru technology, a real-time overclocking utility. Naturally, they haven?t just concentrated their efforts on tweaking, but also on the board layout and the rest of the features that really make a motherboard an all rounder in its category. We are of course talking about the idea behind 90 degrees rotated IDE and floppy connectors that other manufacturers have adopted due to its preference by the community.
