PC Stats has posted a PC3000 DDR366 RAM Review

AMD Athlon processors received a huge boost in performance when the motherboard manufacturers transitioned from SDRRAM based systems to DDR. Regardless of the gains PC1600 DDR and PC2100 first brought to the table, the performance market craved more, and shortly thereafter PC2400 and PC2700 rated DDR began to pop up. Sooner or later, even the mighty PC2700 DDR333 would be surpassed by something better and faster. The next level in DDR memory was met by PC3000, or DDR366. Priced at about $90USD for a 256MB stick, it's some of the least expensive high performance DDR DIMM's available.

HardwarePub has released an article reviewing PC Light Strips.

In the past a modder's only choices for lighting up their overclocked, state of the art, gaming rig was a neon light or a cold cathode. They both do the job well but there were some obstacles. The drawbacks to the neon light are it produces heat, uses substantial amounts of power and it has mounting limitations. The cold cathode has the same mounting restrictions but used less power. This has been accepted as the way it is until the introduction of PC Lightstrips.

Computerchaos has posted a review on the latest cooler from Thermaltake, the Volcano 7+.

This new Thermaltake Volcano 7+ Heatsink comes with an Everflow variable speed 70 mm fan. This new fan setup allows us to choose between 3 different fan speeds. The 3 way switch attaches to a molex connector as well as the CPU fan header on your motherboard. I am curious to see just how quiet it is on the low speed setting in comparison to the 6000 rpm high speed setting, and how the performance will change with the varied fan speeds.
