"AMD 890FX is the new high-end chipset for AMD processors and ASRock 890FX Deluxe3 is a mainstream motherboard based on this new chipset, bringing nice features like three PCI Express x16 slots, eight SATA-600 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, solid capacitors, core unlocking utility and more. Check it out. This new high-end chipset is a two-chip solution. The main feature of the north bridge chip is the presence of 42 PCI Express x1 lanes - almost the double the amount present on AMD 890GX chipset (22 lanes) - which allows a very high-end configuration for the expansion slots as we will explain on the next page. The south bridge chip used is SB850, the same one used on AMD 890GX chipset. The main feature of this chip is the native support for six SATA-600 (a.k.a. "SATA 6G") ports, so the motherboard doesn't need an external chip to support this feature, and certainly AMD 890FX and 890GX will help the new SATA standard to become mainstream."

"The ASUS ENGTX480-2D1-1536 videocard stays pretty close to NVIDIA's reference design, with a 700MHz core clock speed, 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 924MHz (quad-pumped to an effective 3696MHz) and a 384-bit wide memory bus. Here's what the little beastie looks like under all that heatsink - a very large GPU surrounded by twelve BGA DRAM memory chips."

It is time to present the first 890FX motherboard that entered the Shrimps lab. And boy does it look stunning, ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you: The Asus Crosshair IV Formula. The previous Crosshair III was a master in efficiency, can the new 890FX chipset top the older generation? How does it pair with the new 6-Core Thuban CPU ? Let us go and explore this new addition to the Republic Of Gamer product line-up.

"Aerocool HorsePower series feature a modular cabling system and standard 80 Plus certification, being manufactured by CWT and being based on their PSH platform. HorsePower 750 W is internally identical to Thermaltake Toughpower 750 W (W0116RU) and Corsair TX750W (this model from Corsair doesn't have modular cabling system, though)."

"Today for review I?ve got a product that will allow you to quickly and easily add another line of defense to your network against attacks, it?s called the Lan-Guard and it?s from Addlogix. It?s a small box with two ethernet ports on it, one for input and one for output that goes between your modem and router, once installed it protects your network from web based attacks, viruses, spyware and most any other type of attack. The price of the Lan-Guard also includes three years of updates for definition and firmware updates etc. It?s very simple to install for the most part. it will work on any network, but you might need to make some adjustments. in my time with it I found it seems to work, but I ran into an issue or two with it.. so Read on..

The wonderful thing about creating an mITX build is that, whether you want a low cost, low power system, or a relatively more performance oriented Intel Core i3/i5/i7 based machine, all these can converge into one compact package regardless of your needs. A couple weeks ago, we brought you the Thermaltake Element Q review, where our Technology News Director Kenneth Kwok built an LGA 1156 based system packed with Intel's Core i3 processor and 4GB of RAM under the hood for a relatively powerful small form factor computer. But not everyone is willing -- or has the need -- to spend over five hundred dollars on an mITX based system. For those who are looking for something that provides adequate processing power at a low cost with a small footprint, our review today might just be your answer. The Jetway NC96FL-510-LF is an mITX motherboard with an Intel Atom D510 dual-core processor, integrated video and sound, and retails for just a little over a hundred dollars at press time. To get a full system running, all the hardware you will need is a chassis with 12V DC power supply, some DDR2 RAM, SATA hard drive, and that's about it. It is about as low cost as it could reasonably get, and certainly a very power efficient solution. But how well is the board designed and executed, and how does it perform in our battery of benchmarks here at APH Networks? Read on to find out!

"Today for review I?ve got the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go USB Modem that works on the Virgin Mobile wireless network offering you the ability to stay connected quickly and easily by just plugging in what resembles USB thumbdrive into you laptop or netbook. It?s very simple to use, it?s plug and play really, and the Modem doubles as a microSD card reader so you can transport data with you or even read the card from you phone. The speeds I got are decent, but not blazingly fast, then again I?m accustomed to 20/30 FIOS, so pretty much everything seems slow to me, but they?re what you?d expect from a wireless cell phone provider in terms of speed. So read on to learn more.. "

"ViewSonic has been in the computer display market for a long time, but has only recently stepped into the computer market. The company has a few ultraportable machines that include some really good models and a few that aren?t so great.
Along with the ultraportable market, ViewSonic also entered into the All in One (AIO) market as well with a line of AIO machines that are based on netbook hardware. Today I am looking at one such machine with the ViewSonic VPC190."

?External hard drives are still used quite often, I actually have 4 external hard drives hooked up to my main machine right now. External hard drives are very popular because they are easy to install (just plug them in) and make it so you can transfer files between 2 machines with ease. Today we will be taking a look at a 1TB drive from Verbatim. This USB drive would be a perfect addition to anyone?s desktop system and can even be used with a laptop. Let?s take a look!

Let's take a look on the latest mid-tower case from Thermaltake, Armor A90. Although in the same series as Armor+ and Armor+ MX, Armor 90 carries no resemblance with these other two models. Let's see."

?Today we're examining a set of PC audio speakers, the Eagle Tech Arion Soundstage 2.1 variety, to be precise. They're a modest, budget set, aimed at the home user and gamer on a budget, coming in at only $50. Having a very sleek aesthetic also lends to the appeal, but the real test is how they perform when playing your favourite movies, music, and video games.?

"Pure Football (also known as Pure Futbol in North America) is a new and unique vision of football video games, emphasizing the intense, physical and spectacular aspects of the sport. The over-the-shoulder camera and visceral audio dynamically react to the context of the match, placing the gamer in the heart of the five-a-side football action, as opposed to the feeling of watching a TV broadcast."
