The Albatron K8X800 Pro II v2 has working multiplier settings, 1.9 max vcore, 2.9 max DIMM voltage but still lacks working AGP and PCI dividers. The Albatron K8X800 Pro II v2 motherboard is a solid piece of hardware. Bundling so many features it?s almost mind numbing. 8 channel onboard sound, Gigabit Lan, IEE1394 round out the features found on higher priced motherboards.

8Com Wireless, a name not known to many, is a headset provider for mobile devices market. It would be unfair to call them "just another headset" maker because they take elegance and style in headsets to the next level. This could be that their main consumership consists of business and executive users who are looking for something that is professional and eye-catching. Of course, Bluetooth and other wireless technologies being the latest trend in portable mobile devices, it makes sense to introduce a product that will closely fit the demand for such matching accessories.

What I will be stating is that if you are moving to the new Intel LGA775 specification or the new Athlon64 PCI Express motherboard and you just need a basic 2D videocard, the X300 based alternatives on the market will make you more than happy. If you are even considering gaming, do yourself a favor and upgrade to an X600 if you want some decent playable framerates on any of the more recent or newly released games on the market.

HTPCnews took a look at a multifunction case and reports back it's findings. The unit on the review bench today is the Antec Aria, a SFF case that supports mATX motherboards and includes a rock stable 300w Antec PSU. This little box may just be the perfect box to build your ultimate Lan rig with... HTPCnews threw in some serious level hardware options and the Aria suppressed many of us. Check out how well it did and if it could / should be considered for your next Lan / HTPC box @ HTPCnews.com.

As MP3 players become more popular it gets more difficult to determine what is going to fit your needs the best in a given price range. Today we are going to take a peek at X-Micro?s EVA 256. A nice, feature-packed MP3 player that appears to be the perfect combination of quantity and quality.

The Rumblepad 2 is available in a wireless and as seen here wired configurations. This controller features dual analog sticks along with vibration feedback, 8-way D-pad and 10 programmable buttons. The retail price on this particlur unit is $29.99.

Want to push your memory voltage way beyond what your motherboard has to offer without the need of a soldering iron? OCZ has just the thing; Madshrimps takes a closer look at their DDR Booster which can increase the vDIMM up to 3.9v! An overclocker´s dream come true?

While over at Computex in Taiwan this year we saw Iwill showing off their new line of small form factor PCs that were just about ready to hit the market - it was a bit hard to miss all the hype of the new Iwill small form factor systems with all the Taiwanese folks walking around the halls with the small form factor systems sitting on top of their heads. We have the ZMAX (AP) here today that utilizes Intel's 865G chipset which we haven't used for a while now with the array of motherboards coming in utilizing the new 915 and 925 chipset from Intel.

The guys over @ NvNews had the pleasure to review the Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2100 Geforce 6800 Golden Sample 128MB video card.
Here is a snip:At the $299 price point, the Geforce 6800 Non-Ultra cards have no direct competition, as the ATI X800 Pro (their lowest hi-end card) occupies the $399 price bracket. Rumor has it that ATI's X700 series may be coming soon to battle the 6800NU on store shelves. Possessing the same feature set as its bigger brothers makes this card an attractive buy, even though the slower memory and lack of one quad unit and vertex shader make for slightly lower performance.

This multifunction panel will fit all uses from the Tech enthusiast to the basic user. The LCD display serves as an outlet of information with alarm and warning sensors. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a memory card reader or Multifunctional display panel check this product out - you will not be disappointed.

I'm sure many of you have considered upgrading your old CRT monitor to a new LCD Monitor. Not only do they offer more useable desk space, but they look damn cool! Today we take a look at new LCD monitor from Samsung, their SyncMaster 173P. The SyncMaster 173P is got to be one of the thinnest LCD monitor we've seen to date, plus the screen can be rotated 178' degrees.

The silent system. It?s the dream of many enthusiasts but it is easier said than done. Many people go the way of bigger fans and lower rpms for less noise but the key sticking point has always been the power supply. Power supplies generate a fair amount of heat and they need a fan to keep things cool. Well, at least they did. Coolmax has just introduced a fanless power supply. No fan = No noise. Great! But what about the heat???? That?s what we are going to find out today when we put this unit to the test.

In this review Auphanonline takes a look at some of the most anticipated PC3200 ram to hit the market. OCZ has raised the bar on DDR400 performance and overclockability. It was a treat playing with this ram, hope you all enjoy.

Need some good cooling for that hot cpu? The Crucible takes a look at Thermaltake's new PIPE101 heat pipr cooler. It does a pretty good job, though ift also comes with a pretty hefty price tag.

Without a doubt the OCZ PowerStream owned the competition. The Antec 550 True Control was tweaked to its maximum allowable adjustable settings and the OCZ PowerStream was tested at its default settings ? we never adjusted the Fine Tune adjustments ? we never had to! Even though the Antec was rated for 550 Watts, the OCZ PowerStream provided much better power levels even when under immense load.

...."True Power" bedeutet laut CoolerMaster, dass das Netzteil 450 Watt Leistung dauerhaft abgeben kann. True Power, Real Power, Peak Power, Combined Power, ST Power, Short Time Power, Max Power usw. sind die Bezeichnungen der Hersteller die den Anwender verwirren. Schade das es hier keine Eindeutige und feste Norm zur Leistungsangabe gibt. Tatsache ist das selbst der leistungsstärkste voll ausgebaute High End PC mit mehreren optischen Laufwerken und 8 Festplatten und mit allen belegten PCI Slots und allen erdenkbaren Erweiterungen definitive weniger als 300 Watt tatsächliche Leistung benötigt......

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse. Here's a snip:

It all started with an alliance between Logitech & Agilent where they revealed that a singular wavelength of laser light is capable of providing much greater surface detail than the LED found in the regular optical mice. As Logitech knew that there would be high market demand for such a great innovation, the typical cost of 1,000 USD for laser measuring system was reduced to an 80 USD mouse with this technology. According to Agilent, the laser mouse was found to have 20 times more sensitivity to surface detail than optical mice, and in addition to the laser capturing 5.8 megapixels of data every second, this technology had to surface ASAP and here we see it today in retail stores and in everyone's budget.

HIS's X600XT proved to be an excellent choice if you looking at a more affordable PCI-E videocard option, but still want an excellent card with some excellent features. In this case, the software bundle was second to none and the additional perks like the ramsinks and large VPU cooler will allow the buyer to squeeze a little more free performance out of this videocard for the dollar. This card is all about the extra value for your hard earned dollar.

With NVIDIA's offering already out in the open, ATI fires back with a solution of their own. Who will come out on top?
