XFX GeForce 8800GT 256MB XXX Edition Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the XFX GeForce 8800GT 256MB XXX Edition Video Card

XFX has done a wonderful job with their XXX Edition video card for the GeForce 8800 GT 256MB series. Their improved cooler is a nice touch that makes their GeForce 8800 GT video cards stand out from the rest. It's tough to make a video card stand our from the crowd, but XFX has been finding ways to make it happen. The bundle with the XFX GeForce 8800 GT 256MB Alpha Dog XXX Edition was solid and it was nice to see the game Lost Planet included with the bundle. The 650MHz core clock and 1.6GHz memory clocks on the XXX edition are nice as it's a card you can plug in and just run. Users don't have to download third party applications and/or flash the BIOS to overclock...

Ultra X3 800-watt Modular PSU Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Ultra X3 800-watt Modular PSU

Ultra’s X3 800-watt Modular Power Supply is the upper-middle class guy in the X3 neighborhood. He hangs out in the modular part of PSU-ville and drives some serious wattage – but nothing over the top like his 1600-watt neighbor. And for the majority of systems out there running enthusiast-class, top end gear, 800-watts is generally more than enough.

If you’re in the market for a new PSU, consider giving up the excess wattage you’ll never see on that Core Duo rig, and put the difference in price towards some hardware that will really take advantage of the juice the mid-range X3’s are already cranking out.

DisplayPort and RV635 XT Sneak Peek
HotHardware.com posted a preview on a DisplayPort-equipped RV635 XT board

We've got a bit of show-and-tell for you all at HotHardware this morning. You might recall recent announcements of a new digital display interface, dubbed DisplayPort by VESA, the Video Electronics Standards Association. This new interface will supplant DVI and VGA connections eventually as its micropacket architecture offers significantly more bandwidth with multi-monitor support over a single cable.

We've got an as yet unreleased DisplayPort-equipped RV635 XT board here and have been testing it out on an also unreleased LCD panel that we'll be showing soon. On the board you'll note that the circuitry surrounding each DisplayPort connection is minimal and devoid of those all-too familiar Silicon Image TMDS chips. Head on over to the site and check it out...

Lexar 8 GB Jump Drive Secure II Plus Review
OCC has published a new review of the Lexar 8 GB Jump Drive Secure II Plus

Over all I was very impressed with this little thumb drive. It exceeded my expectations for such a tiny package. Lexar is a well known company in the flash card industry, and they proved themselves today; for me anyways. My wife should be plenty happy with me next time I decide to format, being that this jump drive is 8 GB, it can hold a lot for a tiny package. I don't really need to back up much more than 8 GB, so the use of an external hard drive is some what cumbersome.
