Tech ARP posted 2 updated BIOS features on their BIOS Optimization Guide

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the OCZ Vindicator High Performance CPU Cooler

There have been a couple new CPU coolers released that are specifically aimed at dual core processors. Performance hasn't been really aggressive for the most part. Up until the Ultra-X, there wasn't a good extreme performer that could take a beating. Quad Core cooling is very limited as well, but we will get more coolers aimed especially for those. Till then, we have the OCZ Vindicator Ultra High Performance CPU Cooler which will be added to the lineup for dual cores. Join me for a look at the Vindicator and have a look to see if it's an actual Ultra Performer.

APH Networks posted a review on the OCZ Flex XLC PC2-6400 CL4 2x1GB DDR2 RAM

Overclocking has always been a serious focus amongst PC enthusiasts, but it hasn't been until recently with the introduction of the Core 2 processors from Intel that, even users who were priorly not interested in overclocking, is doing so now. One very interesting aspect has hit the memory industry for quite a while, however -- is the introduction of heatsinks to memory modules. While not always necessary, it looks extremely attractive to an extent. The introduction of OCZ's Flex XLC heatsink for its high end memory module has proven lots of success among enthusiasts; how will this implementation into a lower priced product make a difference? Let's examine the OCZ Flex XLC PC2-6400 CL4 2x1GB Dual Channel kit to see if it is worth your money.
