TechAddicts posted a review on the Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Power Supply

Overall, this is an excellent power supply for computer enthusiasts and gamers. It offers a ton of power (850 Watts!), high efficiency, and great stability. There are next gen features on this power supply as well, such as the inclusion of four +12v rails, each tolerating high amperage. The 140mm cooling fan does a great job at keeping this power supply cool and quiet. With all these great features, it should be placed on the list when shopping for a high end system.

BIOS Magazine posted a review on Panda Software Internet Security 2007

Typical of most security applications, Internet Security 2007's anti-virus feature scans files on access, on demand, and on schedule. Noticeably,
it has the ability to quarantine threats - Panda's Antivirus 2007 (314.46 ex. VAT) only deletes threats, can't schedule scans, and doesn't include TruPrevent. Unusually you can send an e-mail or network warning message to Panda Labs when a threat is found. Internet Security 2007 found and removed just 10 of the 15 spyware samples we installed on our test machine - it tried but failed to remove two, and didn't even see three of them at all. It also struggled with commercial keyloggers, removing just two of the five we installed. That's a mediocre overall performance, and offers less protection than Norton Internet Security Suite 2007 or ZoneLabs Internet Security Suite.

BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Sony Blu-Ray Burner (BWU-100A)

Sony's BWU-100A represents a significant leap in storage technology. The BWU-100A offers relatively mediocre Blu-ray recording performance, but it's really a tool for content authoring. It is suitable for high-end home-theatre systems, too, but the price will deter most movie buffs. Overall Sony has created a typically well-mannered product that covers all the bases - CD burning, DVD recording and Blu-ray movie playback, as well as Blu-ray disc recording. The downside? It's pricey (expect similar drives to cost half as much in a year or so) and there's still the pesky Blu-ray versus HD-DVD question, which may take several more years to iron out. For enthusiasts looking for Blu-ray playback on the PC, it's a good start.

BTXFormFactor.com posted Top Ten Reasons to Upgrade to Windows Vista

Last week we looked at the top ten new features in Vista, but how about the top ten reasons to actually upgrade to it? Windows Vista is the next generation OS produced by Microsoft, and an interesting fact here is that it has been five years since the release of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span between major releases.

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Kingston 2x1GB PC2-5300 FB-DIMM Memory Kit

Unlike DDR2, where you can only have 8GB of memory per channel, FB-DIMM allows for up to 192GB of RAM per channel! (That might actually be enough for Vista!) It also allows for more bandwidth per channel too, 40GBs vs. 10GBs for DDR2. However both of those numbers are theoretical....
