OCZ Blade ST 2000MHz Low Voltage DDR3 Memory Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the OCZ Blade ST 2000MHz Low Voltage DDR3 Memory

The default speed for a 2:10 multiplier on a Core i3/i5 CPU is 1333MHz, and most will know too well that that even lower priced Intel H55/P55 Motherboards can support a 200 BCLK. If you like to dabble in the dark art of overclocking there are a few good reasons to choose a 2000MHz (PC3-16000) RAM kit. Firstly you have the options of lower voltage and tighter timings at lower speeds, and next you have the added benefit of higher memory bandwidth at the top speed. Last but not least though is the overclocking headroom, sure you could try to push your 1600MHz kit to 2000MHz but there are not too many kits that will do that, and you will certainly have to pay a premium. OCZ have a broad range of DDR3 RAM from basic to extreme, today Benchmark reviews will be testing the Blade ST 2000MHz Low Voltage Dual Channel 4GB Kit (PN: OCZ3BST2000LV4GK) for your reading pleasure.

XFX HD 6850 Black Edition Review
OCC has published a review on the XFX HD 6850 Black Edition

Performance of the HD 6850 is targeted at just below the GTX 460 from NVIDIA with the 6870 being targeted just above this level of performance. To compete at a higher level of performance, NVIDIA has upped the ante with overclocked editions of their GTX 460. The Black Edition is an answer to this challenge. The HD 6850 Black Edition really ups the performance when you increase the clock speeds up and above the already large factory overclock.
