Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse at 3DXtreme
I think Logitech is moving in the right direction in developing this wireless communication extension of the PC however I feel this will really only attract a niche market of consumers. Overall the MX610 is a solid unit with features that will be loved by people that need some downtime from the computer without completely sacrificing being ?connected?.

MSI Radeon X1300 PRO
While all attention has been focused on the long awaited R520 from ATI, we managed to get hold of the next generation entry-level ATI card. The MSI Radeon X1300 PRO 256MB is based on the RV515 and promises to raise the bar on budget graphics. Without further ado, here's our preview of this card.
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX
Despite having ~ 80 million more transistors than the GeForce Go 6800Ultra, the new GeForce Go 7800 GTX manages to retain roughly the same size, power, and thermal constraints. In short, those that are already gaming with notebooks featuring the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra may have the option of upgrading directly to NVIDIA's new flagship mobile GPU.
OCZ Rally 2GB Flash Memory Drive Review
3DXtreme.net have posted a new review on OCZ Rally 2GB Flash Memory Drive Review.
Our Sandra bench scores confirm the HDTach results, along with that it also shows the write speed which also blows the Kingston drive out of the water. OCZ claims up to 23MB/s read and up to 17MB/s write for this 2GB unit and by the looks of the results certainly meets those numbers. The 512MB and 1GB modules are listed with even faster read/write speeds as they are smaller modules.

Mushkin eXtreme Performance XP4000 2GB Review @ MVKTech
In Today's world, let's face it, you simply need more ram capacity to allocate to the every increasing resource eating applications and game titles in the current market's. Take the smash hit game Battlefield 2 for instance, this game simply runs better with 2048 MB of ram, no ifs ands or buts. If you are a fan of this game and want the absolute premium performance then invest in at least another gig of ram or simply purchase a dual channel 2 GB kit such as the Mushkin eXtreme Performance 2GB XP4000 Dual Channel pack.
World's exclusive: PowerColor X800 GT EVO Liquid Cooled
Today Bjorn3D are looking at something special from PowerColor. Something overclockers will drool at. What if I told you we have a card equipped with its own liquid cooling system? That's right, it's the first card ever to be coupled with Thermaltake's TideWater system. No other AIB used this type of solution before. The card I'm referring to is PowerColor X800 GT EVO based on R480. Let me tell you, it rocks like crazy in our system! Don't mistake it with Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, although I have to say video chipzillas and vendors are using more and more fancy names to attract customers.
