XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card

When we looked at the 9800 GTX+ for the first time the other week, the ASUS TOP version did impress us to a degree. As mentioned in our review, the 9800 GTX+ is pretty much an overclocked 9800 GTX, while an overclocked 9800 GTX+ is just an extremely overclocked 9800 GTX.

While XFX has overclocked the card, there doesn’t seem to be any extra naming for the card like we’ve seen in the past. For example, the 9800 GTX+ XXX Edition or something similar. Today we’ll check out what XFX has done with the card and see if it can stand out from the pack like the ASUS one we looked at just the other week. But before we get into the performance side of things, let’s take the time to have a quick look at the box and what’s inside.

CSX Diablo 2000MHZ DDR3 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the CSX Diablo DDR3 2000MHZ kit

Over the last year or so, the price of DDR2 memory has completely bottomed out, meaning many gamers and hardware enthusiasts have stuck with it, and by and large ignored the newer technology, DDR3. However, as prices of the new range start to come down, people are taking more of an interest. Today I have a kit from a little known company called as CSX, who've been kind enough to let us test their Diablo kit. A 2GB, 2GHZ pair of sticks, that come with a huge heatsink, with D9 chips underneath. Can they reach their rated 2000MHZ speed? Let's find out.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB Toxic Video Card Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB Toxic Video Card

This is the ATI counter-point to the 9800 GTX+: Sapphire's Toxic HD 4850. It may be alone, and it may not be more power-friendly, but it's, ahem, wickedly fast. The icing is that it doesn't really cost more than other HD 4850s--sure, it's on the high side, but it's still cheaper than a 4850 and a Zalman heatsink. The astounding thing is how closely the Toxic keeps up with an HD 4870, cards that cost close to a hundred dollars more.

DreamWare Computers posted a review on the GlacialPower GP-AL650A Power Supply

Although the GlacialTech name is not new to us here, their new GlacialPower line of power supplies certainly is. Today we have the opportunity to look at their 650W 80Plus certified GP-AL650A power supply. Although it packs rather typical looks on the outside, there's a feature or two inside that really sets this power supply apart from many similar contenders. Time to see what it's all about!

WolfKing Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse Review
OCC has published a new review on the WolfKing Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse

Now, this mouse is far from being bad - it does have some great advantages over its competitors. The ability to change the speed and DPI of the mouse on-the-fly just by the touching a button was awesome - no need to pause your gaming session just because you realize you forgot to switch the mouse's software to a faster setting. For general browsing, 800 DPI has a very good feel, and when I Alt-Tabbed back into game (I do it a lot), I could just switch back to 1600 or 2400 and quickly get into the action again! Also, being able to get up to four continuous shots in a single click has definitely proven useful in many situations.

Belkin N1 Vision Wireless N Router F5D8232-4 Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Belkin N1 Vision Wireless N Router F5D8232-4

If you're in the market for a new router, you will find you have a lot of choices to pick from. There are literally dozens of manufacturers producing and selling them, and they nearly all look alike too. So when shopping for a new router how does one company go about differentiating their router from a sea of others that all look alike? Well, first of all, they stand it upright, give it a sleek black glossy finish and add an LCD screen on it. Had I not seen the word "router" next to the picture of the Belkin N1 Vision (and maybe the antennas) when I first saw it, I probably would not have known what it was. It was certainly intriguing as it instantly captured my attention. Here at Benchmark Reviews we have on hand the Belkin N1 Vision wireless N router for review.
