Crucial Ballistix Tracers 6GB Kit (BL3KIT25664TB1608) Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at some Crucial Ballistix Tracers 6GB Kit (BL3KIT25664TB1608)

We've been eagerly awaiting the release of Crucial Ballistix Tracers for the Core i7 platform. While there are lots of kits out there there's only one kit that takes the bling factor beyond the normal high tech heat spreader. That's right if you want the ultimate in bling clipped into your ram slots there's only one vendor that can bring you Tri Channel DDR3 for the Core i7 platform that feature color keyed LED's in Blue, Red and Green.

Crucial has had LED lighted ram for quite some time now, but this time they've gone above and beyond, previous Tracers used multi Colored LED's, the newest offering from Crucial features single colored lights so you can color coordinate with other lighting in your system. While we didn't have any problem with multi-colored lights in the previous generation of Ballistix Tracers we do appreciate the ability to have the color of choice to compliment the lighting you've chosen for that gaming shrine. Unfortunately the bling factor isn't the only concern when it comes to ram so we're afraid we'll have to put the Ballistix Tracers through our full suite of memory tests to see if the performance is as sweet as the bling, and let us tell you the bling is sweet.

Sunbeamtech Hard Drive Docking Station Review
OCModShop posted a review on the Sunbeamtech Hard Drive Docking Station

Convenience of Function is the term I give any good product that does its damned job without a whole bunch of crap work involved. Install these drivers while plugging in this and then rub the top counter-clockwise whilst singing the Star Spangled Banner. You know the usual nonsense that comes with most electronics. My review today is on a product that is an excellent example of convenience of function. The SunBeamTech eSATA/USB 2.0 HDD Docking Station is a versatile and convenient way to access your precious data on the fly.

Packard Bell Dot.be/010 Netbook Review
Madshrimps posted a review on the Packard Bell Dot.be/010 Netbook

The .dot netbook has a 8.9inch screen which puts in the middle of the pack size-wise, depending on where you live the Dot is offered with different configurations, the entry level model is the most affordable at 399 (can be found cheaper online), the second model adds more battery power, the third model adds 3G integrated network adapter. Naming convention is not very telling though, Dot.be/005, Dot.be/010, Dot3G.be/020. Each step up adds about 50 to the price. We received the Dot.be/010

XFX GTX285 and GTX295 Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed XFX GTX285 and GTX295 graphics cards

In its last financial reports nVIDIA has acknowledged losses that are consequence of global economic crisis and relatively low sale rates. Main culprit for second reason is, of course, ATi that performed better in this period and proved itself as best AMD investment so far. nVIDIA's first answer to ATi's success was GTX260+ model. This had limited effects and now it is time to take drastic measures. Final result are two graphics cards: GeForce GTX295 and GTX285. First one is nVIDIA's way to show everybody that they have "best" (fastest) product and second one is result of "face lifting" of older model. Both graphics cards are signed by XFX.

Samsung SPF-85P Digital Photo Frame Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Samsung SPF-85P Digital Photo Frame

Working as an electronics store salesman I can say that the sales of digital photo frames have grown exponentially in just the last year alone. What was a fairly unknown new product to most people only a mere year ago has grown into a fairly high demand gift item for most shoppers these days. To compete with this demand we're seeing many companies now treading into the digital photo frame market with their own models. A fairly recent contender to mention is Samsung, who now has a handful of photo frame models under their name and several more slated for the near future.

ASUS BC-06B1ST Blu-Ray Disc Optical Combo Drive Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ASUS BC-06B1ST Blu-Ray Disc Optical Combo Drive

It wasn't more than a few months ago that Benchmark Reviews tested the ASUS BC-1205PT Blu-ray Drive, which was proven to be a future-proof asset with the format war recently ended in favor of BD media. But sometimes technology isn't adopted quite as fast as we might think, because in the age of Blu-ray there are people out there who still haven't made the transition into a DVD-burner. Unlike CDs and DVDs, Blu-ray Disc isn't in every household, and since music and movies seem to work perfectly well on the older platforms there might not be any real need for such a premium storage device.

In this article, we do away with the benchmark tests and take a subjective look at the ASUS BC-06B1ST Blu-ray disc optical combo drive. After all, there aren't really very many BD-burners on the market to begin with for there to be a worth-while comparison. Sure, we could create a few dual-layer DVD coasters to see how fast that happens, but in the end it doesn't concentrate on the primary features a SATA Blu-ray burner can offer. Benchmark Reviews tests the functionality and explores the feature set offered by the ASUS BC-06B1ST Blu-ray combo drive.
