Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB Review

We feel the Patriot Xporter XT's RAGE in our latest USB thumb drive review, but is it really all that? Check out our findings to see what difference quad channel NAND memory inside a tiny package can make for this 32GB drive, which promises up to 27MB/s read and 25MB/s write speeds.

Patriot Memory recently launched a new contender in this crowd: the Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB. This drive keeps the USB 2.0 transfer protocol but still promises decent speeds; on the packaging, it is said that it writes at 25MB/s. Writing is often the weakness of such drives, so it's good to see a decent speed here. Will it really show in Neoseeker's benchmarking suite, however? That remains to be seen.

We test GeForce GTS 450 cards setup in SLI. See doubling up to two cards gives you 384 Shader processor and two 1024MB memory partitions. For a card that is marketed as 1600x1200 card things now change, if you like to game up-top say 1920x1200 and stick to 4xAA or 8xAA then SLI might be an interesting alternative in terms of value for money.

The article will also functions as a 1:1 comparison to the Radeon HD 5770 setup in two way CrossfireX. Have a peek, have a read, you can find the article right here.

So you’re looking at building a new PC and you’re looking for a better than stock cooling heatsink for your Socket LGA 1156 CPU in a current build? With not very much to choose from other than the higher end CPU coolers, the Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU cooler is one of the CPU coolers you should have a look at. Read on to learn more about it…

Although the memory controller built into Intel's Socket 1156 processors only supports DDR3-1333 speeds officially, any enthusiast knows that there's more than a bit of overclocking headroom there. DDR3-1600 memory is increasingly common, and recently a number of memory vendors have upped the ante even more, with DDR3-2000 and higher speeds becoming available. G.SKILL has entered the enthusiast memory market with a broad selection of high-speed and low-latency memory kits, and Benchmark Reviews tests their new DDR3-2133 memory kit (F3-17066CL7D-4GBPIS) to see what kind of performance benefits it will yield when overclocked.

When I first got the Evercool Zodiac II cooler, I was worried it would be a form-before-function item that just wanted to try to get people interested in astronomy and astrology to buy it. However, my worries were unfounded when the testing proved that the cooler, in fact, does a decent job cooling.

Portable electronic devices are only as useful as long as they have power, and it's easy to underestimate just how dependent we are on these devices --- until the battery runs out of juice. Then it becomes painfully clear how frustrating a dead battery can be. Choiix has created the Power Fort to combat exactly this type of situation. It provides a rechargeable power supply for just about any type of portable electronics. Let's put this power device to the test to see how useful it really is.
