Everything is just right, cables are aplenty and just the right length. Dual PCI-E connectors assure smooth dual video card operation. The motherboard connector fits both 20 and 24 pin motherboards, and of course it has the 4 pin 12v lead for the CPU. The SATA, Floppy, and Peripheral (incorrectly known as Molex) connectors are there as well, could always use more of those but there are enough to be adequate. Did I mention that this product has both ATi and Nvidia?s stamp of approval for operating their Dual-GPU technology?
Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP 30? LCD Monitor
We recently bought 2 (yes, two!) 30 inch monitors for our gaming setup. The choice for the Dell 3007WFP came down primarily to availability here in Australia but we also looked seriously at Apple's 30in Cinema HD display. In this first look review we give you our findings after having used the Dells for about two months now.

OCZ 2GB PC2-8000 Titanium VX2
It seems just when you thought that ram can?t get any faster, someone like OCZ comes alone and show you that they can and will improve on their past great feats.

Intel's Core 2 Extreme/Duo Processors
Today's the day media outlets such as us are finally able to unveil all the details on Intel's next-generation Core 2 processors. The new chips are built on Intel's brand new Conroe CPU core, boasting more performance thanks to several improvements.
Intel's Core 2 Duo and Extreme processors
Intel's next desktop processors have not been in a good place for the past two and a half years. Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPUs have run at relatively high clock speeds but delivered relatively low performance compared to their competition from AMD. They've also drawn a tremendous amount of power, which they've generously expended as heat. In other words, they've been hotter than Jessica Simpson and slower than, well, Jessica Simpson. Despite heroic efforts by Intel's engineering and manufacturing types, these chips based on the Netburst microarchitecture haven't been able to overcome their inherent limitations well enough to keep up with the Athlon 64. As a result, Intel decided to scrap Netburst and bet the farm on a new high-performance, low-power design from the Israel-based design team responsible for the Pentium M.
ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 Motherboard Review
The Intel Core 2 Duo that is about to be launched is making big headlines for those who keep up with the tech buzz for it's impressive big step-ahead performance.

G.Skill 2x 512MB PC3200 (F1-3200PHU1-512NT) Memory Review
This Review of the G.Skill 512MB PC3200 DDR memory primarily shows if high-quality
memory modules can reach higher overclocking results and if inexpensive PC-3200 modules
satisfy overclockers even with clearly more than 200 MHz (DDR400). The two 512 MB modules were tested in dual channel mode and compared with different timings.

Asys Freedom CK-1022-6 Tower Case Review
OCIA.net takes a look at the Asys Freedom CK-1022-6 Tower Case in their latest review.
Enter the new CK-1022-6 Freedom, touted as a Super Tower / entry-level server case from Asys. Yes, that's Asys, with a Y. Can't say that I've ever come across any of their cases before, but the product information sheet looked promising. And the pictures showed it was no slouch in the looks department either. There were also some interesting features I wanted to check out a bit closer. This might not be such a bad case after all.

Galaxy Geforce 7900 GT
Overclocking performance is a major reason for owning a 7900 GT. At stock it already beats its competition, so when we delve into overclocking it's all about getting GTX-like performance for a lot less money. That's not a typo, the memory really did reach 900 MHz! The core reached a reasonable 578 MHz.

HiS Radeon X1600 Pro 128MB Single & Crossfire
Today Guru of 3D will have a look at the a low-end slash low-cost Crossfire solution. ATI has been working really hard to to stray away from the criticism on Crossfire when they first launched it, and with success. With the newer mainboard generation (RD580) of ATI chipset based solutions, ATI had a trump in their hands, the mainboard can transport huge amounts of data in-between the PCI-Express (PCIe) graphics slots. So for their low and mid range line of products, you can now easily do Crossfire without that dreaded cable and even better, without a need to buy an expensive "master" card.
