Today we bring you a review of a very unique product from ASUS, the ASUS Radeon X600 XT Extreme. Targeted for the HTPC and SFF crowd, the Radeon X600 XT Extreme features both native HDTV output and VIVO capability, two features not usually seen in Radeon X600 cards.

ExtremeTech have thrown up their review of Creative's Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS in a PCMCIA format for notebooks!

The LAN party. It's our generation's bowling/poker/movie night all rolled up in one. Hauling gear to a LAN party can be a real drag (literally), and some gamers have taken to bringing high-end laptops instead. And why not? With GPUs like ATI's Mobility Radeon 9800 available now and nVidia's competitive equivalent coming soon, why wouldn't you want to put all your LAN party gear into a single small backpack? Well, for all the CPU and 3D goodness that has made its way into the mobile set, most mobile audio solutions have hardly evolved at all.

3DVelocity got to take a test-drive of Inno3D's no-frills 6600 offering. If price matters more than bundle then this is one to look at.

This Geforce 6600 is one from a big line of many Geforce chips. NVIDIA always had some outstanding chips in the past, except for a minor set back with the Geforce FX series. This 6 Series seems to get rid of that minor set back, aiming for the crown again.

A new ATX box model has been tested; we are speaking about the new Mercury. This is a very atractive model with an elegant line; It was made in aluminium colour, but there is other model in black colour. It has a tool-free to the instalation and a frontal display of 2".

The new Intel LGA775 platform is out and in full bloom. The Crucible takes our first look at this platform with Albatron's Mars PX915P Pro Motherboard. If you are looking into the new Intel platform as an upgrade path you need to check out this review.

If you're considering buying a GeForce 6800 plain vanilla card then you should head over to TrustedReviews and check out a comparision between the latest cards from Asus, Galaxy, Leadtek, MSI and XFX which should give you a good idea how these different cards compare. Check it out.

Ok, so you checked out the Intel D925XCV Alderwood motherboard and you are interested in the upgrade but you want something a little more overclocker friendly. Well, if that is the case, the AA8 Duramax is absolutely perfect for your situation. Without a single corner cut, ABIT packed every single enthusiast option they could into their entry into the Alderwood including extensive Windows and BIOS overclocking and monitoring, excellent cooling, industry leading uGuru technology and let's not forget about the onboard high definition 8 channel audio and firewire.

NVIDIA launched their GeForce 6 series of GPUs a while back and now every board partner has their versions of 6800 flavors, most notably the regular 6800. This is the most popular version of NVIDIA?s GeForce 6 family of products - maybe because of the poor chip yields. If you are not aware of this, both NVIDIA and ATI are having a difficult time producing chips for their GT/Ultra and PE line of products, which has led to ridiculous price increases for the aforementioned models from NVIDIA and ATI.

Some people say bigger is better and X-trac seems to believe that when it comes to mouse pads. They have designed one of the biggest mousing surfaces we've ever seen called the X-Trac Ripper XL!

As you might have noticed, we at HardwareHounds had a chance to test out the Coolforce GPU cooler not so long ago. Now, thanks once again to the fine people at Spire coolers, we have the chance to evaluate the next generation...the Coolforce II.

Since the launch of the Athlon 64 platform, however, we reviewed every new motherboard with definite skepticism mixed with hope that our expectations would not only be met, but surpassed. The CPU street prices kept falling and today are even affordable for average unpretentious users. Hell, AMD?s prices are once again even below Intel?s.

ATI have been busily churning out desktop graphics chips in 2005 to meet the changing market conditions and take advantage of process changes - the RV410, chip that powers the new line of Radeon X700 boards, is the fifth desktop chip out of a potential 8 in 2004. Unlike some of the chips that have been produced RV40 is a new configuration of performance and feature elements, with the features being drawn from the slightly more advanced R420 architecture, and performance elements from all over the place!

During the course of the review we gamed, we photo retouched, we did everything possible to try and find fault with this unit. In the end we found that the MX1000 is now the best mouse I've ever used. The MX1000 is very response, accurate and is ultra smooth. Logitech took the MX700 - improved upon it's strengths and addressed its flaws creating what could arguably considered the best mouse in the world.

If you've read any of the speaker reviews on the 'Net you've no doubt realised that good speakers cost good prices. The old addage that you get what you pay for is particularly true when it comes to PC speakers, while those designed to turn your living room into a mini home cinema often carry ludicrous price tags. So what can you do? You're fed up with lifeless, tinny sound but you really don't want to lay down in excess of £150 for the privilege of something that only seems to matter to you when you've got a film, MP3 or music CD on.

Rainer over at Teschke.de has written two new reviews for your reading pleasure: The Superflower 480W also is one the rare Fan PSU which is qualified for a review here at Teschke.de. Because we are looking for a very silent lowprice PSU for a reference beginner and midsize low noise computer. The Review The powersupply which stands on soft rubber to eliminate vibration goes from backside with use of a frame into the case. The user friendlyness is very high and every part is easy to reach. This also means for the easy and stable installing the drives using metal tracks. Here you can see the server benifits of this case. even an airtunnel upgrade for dual cpu mainboard is included. AirLiner Review

For those who thought the high-end SATA RAID arrays were only for the corporate types, think again. Today, Cameron Johnson over at TweakTown takes a hard look at the Highpoint RocketRAID 1820A, a means to bring monster arrays to your desktop. Who said only the big boys could play this game?

This is what we as enthusiasts and gamers want from our hardware and Enermax is there to deliver again. We would most definitely recommend this power supply for any application.

DDR2 has made a fairly weak entry onto the market with underwhelming figures and poor latencies, when we first tested 533mhz on release we found it was no faster than overclocked DDR400 (with very tight latencies). So enter Corsair - one of the leading manufacturers of ram modules who are not resting on their laurels, this time they are bringing into play some exceptionally fast DDR5400 modules, which are rated at 675mhz with a CAS of 4.

I've used a virtual machine to install Windows and the installation is exactly like a normal Windows XP pro installation, even down to the looks. Windows does install a whole bunch of extra drivers for support of MP3 players and tuners, this is logical to increase compatibility with a wide range of tuner card and MP3 players. This also explains part of why this Windows is spread over 2 CD's, along with the accompanying Media Center.
