OCIA.net takes a look at some SimpleTech Nitro PC-4000 DDR.

The loose timings are really hurting the Nitro modules. I would expect at least a 5,000 point gain across the board with tighter timings.

The computer market is flooded with after market computer cases. A lot of design copying happens also, so it's refreshing to find a particular case with new design ideas. One such case is from Casebuytech is their A.I. 01 series of mesh cases.

Now, NVIDIA is back with a new high-end chip, known by the code-name G70, that promises significantly more power than the GeForce 6800 Ultra. To add to the intrigue, the G70 chip is closely related to the RSX graphics processor than NVIDIA is developing for the PlayStation 3. Can NVIDIA duplicate the success of the NV40 series by following it up with a worthy successor? Can the GeForce 7800 GTX really deliver on NVIDIA's claims of up twice the shader power of the GeForce 6800 Ultra? And if you run a pair of GeForce 7800 GTX cards together in an SLI config, will the fabric of time and space warp? Keep reading for some answers.

For a very long time now I have tried to find an alternative for the Sound Blaster series but unfortunately I couldnt find a real competitor. Few weeks ago I read at NvNews about a new sound card named HDA Digital X-Mystique 7.1 Gold with Dolby encoding support and many cool features. I pulled out a few strings and managed to get a sample of this card. The one million-dollar question now is does the HDA Digital X-Mystique 7.1 Gold offer a real competition to the Sound Blaster series?

Today the Madshrimps take a look at Artic Cooling´s golden oldie, one of their products which put them on the VGA cooler map, the ATI Silencer 1. In the glory days of the ATI Radeon 9700/9800 the Silencer was a necessary ingredient to have a cool and silent VGA card. Now that time has passed on one would think that the Silencer 1 has no target audience anymore. You could not be more wrong.

I?m sure if you asked anyone these days what brand of computer case they wanted, they would probably tell you Lian Li, Thermaltake, Silverstone, CoolerMaster or maybe even Antec. But if you asked that person which one of those cases they can afford they might tell you none of them. Sure it might be nice to spend at least $100 to buy a high quality case, but not everyone has that kind of money to spend. So they look for a budget case, maybe around the $50 mark, hoping to find a decent case with the features they want. Today 3DXtreme is going to look at one such case, the Rosewill R114A mid-tower. Does it have the features you need at a price you can afford?

As MP3 players continue to become one of the most common digital accessories, consumer electronics companies will persistently develop newer models with added features to make their products stand out.

While hard drive players allow you to store your entire music library and listen to it for days on end, they are not all that rugged.

With the i955X chipset, it brings the board to another level with Dolby certified audio and Highly advanced Intel® Matrix Storage technology allows RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 0+1 (Striping and Mirroring), and RAID 5 (Parity RAID). With the on board 2 additional SATA ports, you get another RAID 0/1 array.
