ATI Radeon HD 2600XT vs Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS
TechSpot posted a comparison review between ATI Radeon HD 2600XT and Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS

While Nvidia remains quite dominant in the high-end segment, a much larger battle has taken place to offer the best mainstream graphics product. Currently the two leading mainstream cards are the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS and the ATI Radeon HD 2600XT, both of which are priced well under $200.

Today we will be comparing these two mid-range graphics cards head to head using a 512MB VisionTek Radeon HD 2600XT and a 256MB ASUS GeForce 8600 GTS. While neither product features overclocking out of the box, the Radeon has an obvious advantage in that it sports twice as much video memory. And while this may appear to be unfair, we have found that the average 512MB Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card retails for just $140, while the average price of a GeForce 8600 GTS sporting 256MB of memory is $160.

Corsair Flash Padlock USB Drive Review
Bjorn3D look at the Corsair Flash Padlock USB Drive.

The tiny flash drive is a great portable device but due to its size, it’s also prone to be lost. Although they are cheap to replace as you can get a gig of storage for about $10, the invaluable data lost is what one should worry about, especially the important personal information stored on the drive. We have seen many companies selling various flash drives with different ways of offering security to the flash drive. Corsair has recently released a hardware-based security flash drive, the Flash Padlock, and today we get a chance to take a look at the Flash Padlock and put this drive to the test.
