TrustedReviews has a review up of the new AOpen i855GMEm-LFS Pentium M Motherboard which offers a powerful solution for anyone that wants a low noise PC but doesn't want to go down the EPIA router.

The cryptically named i855GMEm-LFS is a micro ATX motherboard based on the Intel 855GME chipset, which you would normally find in a laptop. In turn this means that the i855GMEm-LFS motherboard has to be used with a Pentium M processor.

The Biggest promise of NVIDIA's new SLI GPU-teaming capability may be the ability to upgrade on an installment plan. By building an SLI-capable system with a single graphics card now, users give themselves the option of adding a second card later for nearly two times the rendering power. For most of us, the most realistic and affordable means of building such a system is NVIDIA's GeForce 6600 GT GPU. At around $200, the 6600 GT seems ideal for SLI.

"The Evo's in-game response is smooth and lag-free, the programmable and customizable SST software is extremely handy, battery life is exceptional due to the auto shut-off feature, and the wireless range is ridiculously lengthy. If you are into flight sims, this flight stick is an excellent choice. "

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Enermax Venus MicroATX Case.
"3DXtreme today presents the our latest review of the Enermax Venus CS-10068-B MicroATX case. We have reviewed a lot of products by Enermax and what is most common is that they produce quality hardware, whether it be cases or power supplies. With a big push for smaller and smaller cases for the home theatre enthusiast it makes sense for Enermax to jump on the bandwagon and present their own solutions. Can this case meet the needs of the HTPC crowd and avoid the issues that have plagued the small form factor crowd? Let?s find out?" Name - Enermax Venus MicroATX Case Review @ 3DXtreme

The S12-600 has the largest output capacity in Seasonic?s new S12 series of PC power supplies and is both environmentally friendly (active PFC), highly efficient, and runs cool and quiet.

PC Perspective

While the Hardcano 13 is not for everyone, the PC enthusiast wanting a device to monitor multiple system temperatures and control up to four fans would have to look long and hard to find anything better. Throughout several days of testing, the device performed flawlessly and exceeded my expectations in a number of respects.

Today I will be reviewing a rather unique cooling solution that boasts a quieter fan and from what the manufacturer is claiming, is a better and more efficient cooling solution for your new LGA775 processor. With a rather interesting fan and enough surface area to cool a toaster oven, let's see how this heatpipe based cooler performs while being attached to the Tweaknews testbed equipped with one of the hottest running processors on the the market, the Intel 3.46Ghz Extreme Edition.

The Crucible has a crack at the nForce4 Ultra based EPoX EP-9NPA+ motherboard. The performance was pretty good, about on par with the older nForce3 systems. It is the overclocking that really makes this board worth looking at!

Today Beyond3D is looking at Sapphire's Radeon X800 (standard) - the lower end X800 product based on R430, which caused Radeon X700 XT to shuffle off its mortal coil even before it was actually released! Touted as having 12 pipelines and a 256-bit memory bus, but at a price attractive to mainstream users we check it out in relation to a number of the other parts ATI have announced within this price range over the past few months...

Read in our exclusive review exactly how much this game rocks!

Avast me harties! Ho ho and a bottle of rum, except for those of you under age, of course. Sid Meier strikes again. The Man Who Was Handed Strategy Gaming From God has made good on his promise: he managed to update his classic Pirates! game for the next generation, while actually keeping it fun.

MonsterHardWare has a review of the Swiftech MCX462-V HSF, this is a good HSF for those still using Socket A.

The Helicoid pin design increases surface area of the pins. This increased surface area creates a more effective mechanism for heat dissipation. Also these pins are aligned in concentric rows which are bent at different angles. Swiftech says ?The spacing and angles between the concentric rows has been precisely calculated to optimize cooling and reduce noise at air flow levels as low as 22 CFM and 23 dbA.

Today 3DXtreme presents their latest review of a modded mid tower case by SuperPower. They are not one of the bigger names in computer cases, however the case we present today is definitely different than what you would normally see. Let?s have a look at this case and see how well it rates.

We had tested the ASUS Extreme N6600GT graphic card; It has a lot of wonderful characteristic, any of them can be found in other GeForce 6600GT models, but other are exclusive in this new ASUS model; The Extreme N6600GT has 128MB of memory and 1GHz DDR3, 8 pipelines and  500MHz GPU speed; and in addition, It has the newest technology SLI from nVidia; you can read the review clicking here.

"Today 3DXtreme is presenting our latest review of the Albatron Trinity Geforce 6600GT AGP Video Card. The Nvidia 6600GT AGP chipset has arrived on the scene and we’ve put it through the paces to see how it performs in the mainstream market. This card features 8 Pixel Pipelines, 128MB of DDR3 memory, 500MHZ Core Clock Speed as well as VGA Out, TV-Out, DVI and support for HDTV. Targeted directly at the heart of the mainstream market this chipset is out to steal the crown from the much loved ATI 9800 series. The 6600GT AGP is the PCI-E chipset with an added unit that ports to AGP.
Can Nvidia strike a blow at the $200 price point the way the 6800GT did at $400?"

5.1 sound with only two satellites, one subwoofer and a central speaker? This is what Altec Lansing offers with the GT5051R. behardware.com's impression and observations are in this test.

Last month when ATI launched the Radeon X850 they also launched some new X800 series cards, at that time there were no samples available to the public or reviewers. As of the beginning of January the X800XL is making its way into the hands of the public and so we have a sample here for review. With an expected retail price of $299 it sits around $100 less than a 6800GT and so a performance comparison with the 6800GT is what we have here today.

OCIA.net has posted a review of the Zalman CNPS 7700-Cu Heatsink! Here's a snip.

A side-by-side comparison with the AMD 64 OEM (supplied with Athlon 64 3000+ / S-754) to give you an idea of the size of this cooler. There is no question about which cooler would appear to be more effective at first glance.

It?s a new year filled with the promise of new products hitting the market. So, before we go off reviewing the newest toys and gadgets of the coming year, let?s take a moment to look at one of the more overlooked parts of most computer systems; the keyboard. The kind folks at I-rocks have provided us with the X-Slim keyboard to take a look at.

The VP171b turns over a new leaf. This screen was already a great success when it was equipped with the AU Optronics 16 ms, and it should do at least as well with the new AU 8 ms version. This screen has everything with double analogical input, DVI interface, a pivot mode, and is vertically adjustable. The price is even comparable to the competition.

The latest review at nV News is of the XFX 6600GT AGP. Featuring a solid bundle, the XFX 6600GT AGP leads the pack in availability, several online sources selling the card around a $225 price point. How does the 6600GT AGP compare to its big brother? Should you use this card to upgrade your system? Best described by the phrase "more than enough for most of PC users", the 6600GT had sufficient performance to keep me from wanting to put the 6800GT back in my system every time I fired up Half-Life 2 or Doom3.
