InsideHW.com posted a review on the Kingston DDR3-1066MHz memory

Although the DDR2 standard reached its peak, its successor, DDR3, is slowly starting to and in time probably will take its place. We tested Kingston's DDR3 memory running at 1066MHz and tried to find out if you should switch to the new memory yet.

In the box is the hard drive unit, manual, power adapter, USB 2.0 cable, FireWire cable, USB/eSata cartridge, and Dual FireWire module The modules are interchangeable depending on which connection is desired to hook up the drive, which will be explained more in the review.

Futurelooks checked out the Logitech diNovo Edge Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard

You could blow $200 on a lot of things, but how about on a keyboard? Logitech would like you to spend your green on what they call "The World's Most Advanced Keyboard". Is all that and a bag of chips or would you better off spending the night in the bar with a bowl of pretzels. Let's find out!

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Vantec USB External 5.1 Audio Adapter

The Vantec 5.1 audio adapter isn't for everyone. If you already have a soundcard in your system capable of outputting 5.1 channels, you probably won't need this, which adds another external device to the mix. However, if you have a laptop or other portable system, most of which only have stereo outputs, this adapter will be helpful, especially if you watch movies a lot and would like to take full advantage of your 5.1 speaker system. Watching movies with a full 5.1 channels is far better than listening to them in down-converted stereo mode. This is the audio adapter's intended use, as it quickly and easily adds 5.1 output support to any system, and does it well.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Logitech X-240 2.1 Speaker System

A while ago we took a look at the X-540 speaker system from Logitech. It proved to be a good 5.1 system for a retail price of $99. Today we will be looking at Logitech's 2.1 speaker system in the X-series, the X-240. It features a down-firing subwoofer, control pod, and integrated stowaway cradle for your iPod or other MP3 player. The X-240 is also reasonably priced at $50. Let's see if it is worth your hard earned money.

CoolTechZone.com posted a review on the Seagate FreeAgent Pro Hard Drive

Last week, we reviewed Seagate's FreeAgent Go portable hard drive, and came away impressed with the unit. Today, we have the company's FreeAgent Pro in our lab, and it, too, appears to be another successful product in Seagate's product line. Unlike the FreeAgent Go, the Pro offers a standalone, NAS alternative to more complicated units. And while the company promises 24/7 connectivity, it's a bit complicated, and technically not the case. Allow us to explain.

TrustedReviews have looked at the OQO Model 02 Ultra Mobile PC

The OQO Model 02 clearly isn't for everyone. But if you need more power than a smartphone, want a built-in keyboard and the power of a Windows PC in your pocket, then it's a straight fight between the OQO and Sony's UX1XN. The latter is the more powerful and fully featured device but OQO's Model 02 has taken the desirability of the original model up a notch and has made it much more usable.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Etymotic Research ety8 Bluetooth Earphones

Etymotic Research has produced the only set of wireless earphones that I would be willing to use. The sound quality is better than I ever imagined it would be, even with a name like Etymotic on the box, and the remote control of the player/phone is also very cool.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Zalman ZM-RS6F USB Headphones

Zalman's latest ZM-RS6F USB headphones are based on a C-Media USB sound card and a 5.1 capable headset that can do real surround sound. The whole unit has been built to deliver a maximum of comfort while still being rugged and easy to transport. Another plus is that it is quite affordable when compared to other solutions with similar features.

Hardwarecanucks posted a review of the highly-anticipated Thermalright XWB-1 CPU Water Block

At the end of the day, it comes down to the individual user. This block looks great, and provides the best out of the box performance in a high flow loop. If you're running a low restriction PA120.X radiator with a high flow pump (D5, DDC w/Petra top, or Iwaki) and nothing else in your loop, the XWB-1 is the block to beat.

Bit-Tech published a review of the HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT IceQ Turbo
GDDR3 video card

At around £75 (inc. VAT), the card is around £10 cheaper than Sapphire's GDDR4-based 2600 XT. Based on the differences in performance and price, the HIS 2600 XT IceQ Turbo GDDR3 looks like a bargain compared in isolation to the Sapphire HD 2600 XT GDDR4. However, when you throw the 8600 GT into the mix, for which a standard clocked card can be purchased for around £5 less than HIS's card, and the decision becomes a little trickier.

The Radeon X1950 Pro is a better buy at the moment because of the lack of compelling DX10 content available at the moment. However, that could change at the end of the week when potentially the biggest game of the year (which comes complete with DX10 support) is released. Waiting until then would be advisable in our opinion, but if you're dead set on buying a DirectX 10 card today, both the GeForce 8600 GT and Radeon HD 2600 XT should deliver respectable performance in upcoming DX10 titles. The question is though, whether that DX10 gaming experience will be better than the DX9 experience achievable on a Radeon X1950 Pro -- that is something we hope will become clearer over the next couple of weeks.
