Adobe Captivate 5 Review

There aren't many other products like Captivate on the market. For general presentations PowerPoint has a lot more to offer and for users looking to create software demos, alternatives such as TechSmith's Camtasia Studio are both simpler and cheaper. As an all-in-one e-learning tool, however, Captivate 5 is hard to beat, plus it's from Adobe and works well alongside other Creative Suite products which, for many, is a recommendation in itself.

Noctua have high expectations to meet here at OC3D - Will they deliver yet again?

We test and review the OCZ RevoDrive. Pretty much two SSDs slapped onto a PCB, armed with a RAID controller. Pop it in, install the new storage unit and you'll have tremendous performance right of the shelves without the need to configure anything. What OCZ did was done right.

They smacked 120GB or alternatively 240 GB of the fastest NAND Flash memory on the PCB, armed that Flash memory with two separate 8-channel SandForce SSD ICs, then bind them to a SIS RAID controller, pop on a PCie x4 bridge and then offer a "PCIe SSD" (if you can call it that) reaching 300,k 400 even 500 MB/sec read and write speeds.

Today we are going to look at one of Arctic’s other gaming headsets, the P321, which is not quite as feature-filled as the P531 which we reviewed last week. So it carries a lower price tag which makes it more available to more budget-restricted users. We look forward to seeing how they compare with their bigger brother in our tests.

The best GTX 460 in the market.

In the market for the best CPU cooler for the buck? Cooler Master's V6 GT is the one to look out for. It features a great design that's both appealing to look at and efficient in doing its job, and despite it taking up less room over all compared to other mega-coolers out there, it offers exceptional cooling ability.

While most external storage customers don't mind the fact their data is more vulnerable than if it was inside because of the added convenience / portability it offers; there is a group of people who want MORE protection than simply sticking the drive inside a case. For this group, ioSafe has many makes and models. One such model is the SoloPRO USB 3.0 model, which boasts not only tank like amour chassis, but water- AND fire-proof abilities! Lets see how good this tank really is!

The Verdict:
With a footprint that is down right massive, the ioSafe SoloPRO USB 3.0 fireproof, waterproof hard drive is certainly not for everyone. For anyone who needs their data to be safe and sound even if their house suffers an act of god disaster this bad boy should be on your short list. Highly Recommended!

The Good:
+ Pretty Good Performance
+ Darn near indestructible
+ USB 3.0 interface
+ Actively cooled
+ Attractive in a tank kind of way
+ Comes with 1 year Data Recovery Service
+ Reasonable price for 3 & 5 year DRS extensions
+ DRS 5-year extension also extends warranty to 5 years!

The Bad:
- MASSIVE footprint
- Heavy
- Sealed unit so hard drive replacement will be difficult

In this review we take a closer look at two budget friendly AMD motherboards from Gigabyte; 880GMA-UD2H with integrated GPU and the 870A-UD3. Do they stand a chance against high end AMD boards? Time to find out

The new ASUS netbook, namely the 12" 1215N model, is one of the most powerful Eee PCs to have appeared thus far. First of all, ASUS has installed Intel's Atom D525, the new dual-core hyperthreading-enabled 1.8 GHz CPU, first presented at this year's Computex fair. D525 is actually the heir to the well-known D510 Atom CPU working at 1.66 GHz, but now also contains both DDR2 and DDR3 memory support...

Although the final price of this model hasn't been revealed to us just yet, we'll make an approximation; the model with 2 GB RAM (instead of 4 GB) and a 250 GB HDD (instead of 320 GB) costs 450€, which, with all the other advantages that we've mentioned, gives a decent price/performance ratio.

The Eclipse Wireless Litetouch keyboard from Mad Catz comes with an interesting 3-in-1 LCD touch panel and functions can be assigned to each key like shortcuts to our preferred programs or up to a maximum of three individual websites, all of which will open at the same time and all at the touch of just one button.
