Some years ago there was almost no difference between the RAM modules from different manufactures. Today however, the market is filled with many different RAM modules designed for different purposes.There are many modules to choose from for every purpose; however are there any modules versatile enough to cover as many market aspects as possible? The Crucial Ballistix are rumored to be as such.

Hexus has taken a look at a retail sample of an X700 PRO from MSI. As they discovered recently, MSI provide generous bundles with their products. So how does this package fare, and can it hold stand up to NVIDIA's 6600?

IntelliMouse Explorer v4.0a is the latest version of the high end intellimouse wired series from microsoft.

The competition between ATI and NVIDIA is now fiercer than ever. ATI was the leader in the marketplace for over a year, but with the introduction of next generation of GPUs, NVIDIA is really starting to dominate the market. NVIDIA is back in the market with full force and ATI is slowly taking the back seat in few of its product lines, namely it?s mid-end graphics card lines. We have evaluated NVIDIA?s 6800 graphics cards previously and have been quite impressed with the overall performance.

The Madshrimps take a closer look at the performance of some high quality Samsung TCCD powered memory modules, the results and benchmarks speak volumes for the potential performance to be had with high HTT and memory speeds on a Socket 939 Athlon64 setup. I have no hesitation in recommending this memory to those users seeking the utmost in performance potential from their high end computing hardware!

3DXtreme have posted a new review on - SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 512MB USB 2.0 Flash Drive.

I could list a million different uses this little device...512MB of portable USB 2.0 storage can come in handy anytime.

Driverheaven just posted their Radeon Xpress chipset preview...

Looking at that list of features and the one that?s immediately worth talking about is the onboard graphics. As mentioned previously it?s based on the X300, pipeline configuration and is as follows 2 pixel pipelines with 1 texture unit and 4 vertex units per pipeline. Interestingly, the Vertex Shader performance is assisted by the CPU so the faster the CPU you have the better your onboard graphics will perform. With the onboard graphics there is also one very surprising, but excellent, feature. The board has onboard DVI in addition to VGA.

When it comes to keeping your CPU chilled on air it's always a bonus to have a setup that'll be quiet enough for your wife to not throw the PC out the window. CoolerMaster seems to be taking a shot at Zalman's 7000 series CPU HSF with this latest Ultra Vortex and comes close in performance / noise. Check out the review at HTPCnews.com and see how well it fared in comparison.

MHW has a review of the Al Tech Anydrive FM Transmitter, perfect for all of you looking to take your MP3s on the road.

On the left side is where you are able to connect your USB media. Note the distance from the side of the Anydrive and the USB plug is rather small, so if your USB media is not very slim, you may have difficulties inserting your media. On the right side is where you choose which FM station your Anydrive will transmit your music.

Everybody is looking for an iPod killer. Why people want to kill iPod's I don't know, they aren't that bad, are they? Still, Hexus.net have a review of Creative's MuVo² 4GB, which will provide ample storage for most music fans.

We received quite a few e-mails regarding our evaluation of the Gigabyte 6800 card. Many users stated that Gigabyte?s 6800 card only had eight pixel pipelines enabled, hence the reason for lower performance numbers. Unfortunately we were not aware of the situation at the time of testing and Gigabyte failed to mention anything about the new BIOS that fix this issue. After receiving concerned comments from our readers, we decided to investigate the situation and found our readers to be right on target.

Want to overclock your graphics card? Want to replace that noisy stock cooling? Madshrimps takes a closer look at Danger Den´s MAZE4 water block to see if it can tame an ATI X800 Pro video card!

Hexus.net have taken a look at a new Pentium 4 motherboard from ASUS, making use of a SiS chipset. The board has a suprising amount to offer.

The Crucible is at it again. They lay the smack down on some value ram from SuperTalent. This stuff seems to overclock pretty well and it offers up some pretty good performance. The Crucible finds some pretty interesting results in the review.

In conclusion I would have to say that the Spire CF203-NEB DigiPanel Fan Controller is a well thought out, functional product and a must have for any PC enthusiast. I would personally recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and functional product.

While most of the time, everybody's eyes are on the top end of the graphics market, a top of the range card isn't for everyone. If you want DX9 graphics, and decent performance even in the newest games, albeit at the lower resolutions, try the ATI Radeon 9600 XT. Hexus.net have a review of ABIT's 9600XT. It performs well, although it does leave you wondering if going that bit further and buying a 9800 will be better in the long run.

The Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 met our expectations and delivered an experience indicative of our past experiences of Solteks' products. The price to performance ratio of these boards just can not be beat. At the same price point most of the other boards lack SATA Raid, while this may not be used by everyone it is a feature that some may grow into. The stock performance was on par with other VIA K8T800 Pro based Motherboards and the overclocking ability outshined that of the ABIT AV8.

The Crucible has posted a review of MSI's Nforce3 250 chipset based Athlon64 motherboards. The give us a taste of both the socket 754 and socket 939 boards.

FlexiGlowHK is back once again with a product that should appeal to anyone that just doesn't want a normal looking or performing mouse pad. I'll put the new xRaider LED illuminated mouse pad on the chopping block in this one page review. FlexiGlowHK was nice enough to send all three color variations, blue, red, and green, so continue on to see I think of this pad.

The K8N-E Deluxe is a Socket 754 board running the Nvidia nForce 3 250Gb chipset. It brings a beefy feature set (SATA, Firewire, Hardware Firewall, GbE, the list goes on), along with good performance. All ASUS need to do is tweak the BIOS a bit and they have themselves a great overclocking board too. Check out the review over at Hexus.net.
