ATI Radeon X1950XTX Review
NordicHardware takes a look at ATI's latest flagship ATI Radeon X1950XTX and gives it a spin in his test bench where overclocking is of course a big part of it.

The X1950XTX comes with two new features, a new cooler and new memory. Is the new cooler as good as it looks? Stay tuned as we take a closer look at both and check out how increased memory bandwidth really will affect the performance. Earlier overclocking tests have shown that it's precisely what the R580, and not least the Crossfire, needs.

BFG GeForce 7600 GT & 7900 GT OC Review
The Guru of 3D checked out the BFG GeForce 7600 GT & 7900 GT OC video cards

BFG manufactures the GeForce 7600 GT and 7900 GT but as trendy as it is ... they brand it as a special "OC" version. These are the pre-clocked (at default higher clocked then the reference cards from NVIDIA) on both the memory and graphics processor.

So today Guru of 3D are looking at the BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC and also their GeForce 7900 GT OC. Both cards come with 256 MB memory and both cards produce a stack load of performance for your well spent bucks.

Lenovo Thinkpad X60s Notebook Review
XYZ Computing has posted a new article out on the Lenovo Thinkpad X60s Notebook

Back to the original point- one constant which has remained throughout the evolution of the notebook computer is the Thinkpad. Processors and operating systems have changed, designs have been updated, and ownership has changed hands, but the Thinkpad remains. This product has never stopped being a top choice for demanding consumers and corporate buyers, whether they are looking for size, power, or features.

This review is going to be taking a look at Lenovo's Thinkpad X60s. This is one of the more competitively spec'd notebooks currently available yet is quite small and incredibly light. The Thinkpad X series, under both IBM and Lenovo, has constantly been a top choice for reviewers and a dream product for consumers, so let's see how Lenovo did with the X60s.

Antec Fusion Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Antec Fusion

We generally don't find many mATX multimedia cases tailored for an overclocker. These cases are generally cramped resulting in terrible airflow and high temperatures. The Antec Fusion has resolved that issue. Its spacious interior allows for some of the larger heatsinks and the two 120mm tri-speed fans does wonders on reducing the overall system temperature.

nV News posted a review on the MSI NX7950GX2 video card

You begin to appreciate the sheer power of the NX7950GX2 as doubling the resolution from 1024x768 to 2048x1536, with 4X antialiasing, only resulted in a 34.5% decrease in the overall 3DMark05 score.

Card readers are very essential now a days especially since digital cameras no longer come with card readers and there are so many different types of memory cards out there.

Today I will be looking at the Vizo Mirrorbox 32-in-1 card reader. It is extremely compact which is nice for traveling so let's take a look.

The Problem with Being Ahead of Your Time
The TechZone has posted an editorial on The Problem with Being Ahead of Your Time

Not too long ago Panasonic's corporate slogan was, "Just slightly ahead of our time." It was catchy and it inferred their products were on the cutting edge of the industry. There was only one problem with this, as Panasonic found out, people feel uncomfortable using products ahead of their time. Consequently, their slogan was changed to, "Ideas for Life." But this essay is not so much about slogans as it is about marketing products ahead of their time. The marketing graveyard is full of fine examples of products that were introduced and considered ahead of their time.

OCZ PC2-8800 2x1GB DDR2 Memory Kit Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the OCZ PC2-8800 2x1GB DDR2 Memory Kit

The OCZ PC2-8800 2GB Gold XTC Dual Channel Memory may be the equivalent of OCZ's VX2, and Platinum modules. The memory is definitely equipped to reach the 1100Mhz rating and being that it has quality memory modules also operates at better, tighter memory timings. Voltage scalability of 2.2 to 2.4 volts is also a plus as some memory modules require 2.4 or higher to even come close...

SilverStone TJ02 Case Review
Elite Bastards take a look at a case from SilverStone

The first thing that struck me about this case was its weight... or lack thereof. For a steel case with an aluminum front, it didn't feel all that heavy. The front panel of the case is beautiful, with a machined pattern spreading across the whole surface, which gives a lovely reflective effect when the light catches it. It's nice to see a manufacturer trying something a little different, and whilst the picture here doesn't give you the full appreciation of the effect, it's really rather nice.

3D Fuzion 7600 GS Review
bit-tech takes a look at the 3D Fuzion GeForce 7600 GS

As there are more attractively-priced GeForce 7600 GS's on the market, with higher default clock speeds and a silent heatpipe cooling solution, we would recommend looking elsewhere at this price point. If the 3D Fuzion card had come in a few pounds cheaper than the competition, it would be worth consideration. However, with both Leadtek and XFX offering faster GeForce 7600 GS's at the same price point, we feel that they're going to deliver better value for money.
