CSX Diablo 2000MHZ DDR3
Over the last year or so, the price of DDR2 memory has completely bottomed out, meaning many gamers and hardware enthusiasts have stuck with it, and by and large ignored the newer technology, DDR3. However, as prices of the new range start to come down, people are taking more of an interest. Today I have a kit from a little known company called as CSX, who've been kind enough to let us test their Diablo kit. A 2GB, 2GHZ pair of sticks, that come with a huge heatsink, with D9 chips underneath. Can they reach their rated 2000MHZ speed? Let's find out.

Gigabyte MA78G-DS3H Motherboard
Gigabyte is full of ambitions to fight with ASUS for the top place in the rating of leading motherboard manufacturers. It's no secret that ASUS makes mistakes from time to time. In particular, it occasionally delays fine-tuning BIOS in new motherboards, so the first buyers become beta testers (and their negative reviews negatively affect company's image). However, it does not mean that other manufacturers offer only fine-tuned products. When users buy brand new motherboards, they are usually ready to face minor problems, which will be fixed a tad later in new updated BIOS versions. Objectively, ASUS is winning the battle owing to its wide product range. It even offers motherboards on the rarest chipsets, while other manufacturers have no resources or desire to produce them. Sometimes, ther...

Patriot Viper DDR2 1150 2 X 1 Gig Kit
With DDR3 slow in gaining acceptance and the lackluster price to performance ratio more people are turning to less expensive Extreme Performance Enhanced Latency DDR 2 memory. Recently DDR2 memory has attained speeds thought impossible just a short time ago. With DDR2 speeds increasing and prices remaining reasonable it's becoming an attractive option to stick with DDR2 running at speeds of up to 1200 Mhz (PC-9600) and Latencies in the Cas 5 range.

Western Digital's Caviar Black hard drive
While Seagate grabs headlines as the market share leader in the hard drive world, lately we've been more impressed with Western Digital's portfolio. The company's Black and Blue Scorpios fared very well in our latest mobile storage round-up, outpacing rival Momentus drives from Seagate. Then there's the radically redesigned VelociRaptor, which recently raised the bar for Serial ATA hard drive performance while riding a bold new form factor. For enthusiasts, the Caviar SE16 640GB offers the best blend of performance, capacity, noise levels, and overall value of any 7,200-RPM desktop drive. And let's not forget the power-efficient and nearly silent "GreenPower" Caviar GP drives with terabyte capacities.

DigiMate III Touch Screen 2.5" SATA HDD Enclosure Review
"Today for review our friends at USBGeek have sent me over the Digimate III Touch Screen – SATA Edition hard drive enclosure. This enclosure is very special in that is features an OLED display and, as the name suggests, a touch screen. The Digitmate III also have several memory card slots located on the top and sides, the idea of the device is to eliminate the need to carry your laptop or many memory cards, with this device you can just pop in a memory card and transfer everything to the enclosed hard drive. It's not only good for pictures but for anything that is on a memory card like data, videos etc, you are only limited to the size of the hard drive inside as to what you can store on the Digimate III.

Apevia X-Sniper G-Type Mid Tower Case Review
“The Apevia X-Sniper G-Type case is quite a powerful case for those looking for a reasonable price. With the aspects of a LCD temperature display and fan speed controllers the X-Sniper has the features of high-end cases for a much cheaper price. This Mid Tower ATX may seem small for its class, but it sure packs a punch on how everything is laid out. Take a further look into the review to see what we're talking about."

Belkin N1 Vision Wireless N Router F5D8232-4
If you're in the market for a new router, you will find you have a lot of choices to pick from. There are literally dozens of manufacturers producing and selling them, and they nearly all look alike too. So when shopping for a new router how does one company go about differentiating their router from a sea of others that all look alike? Well, first of all, they stand it upright, give it a sleek black glossy finish and add an LCD screen on it. Had I not seen the word "router" next to the picture of the Belkin N1 Vision (and maybe the antennas) when I first saw it, I probably would not have known what it was. It was certainly intriguing as it instantly captured my attention. Here at Benchmark Reviews we have on hand the Belkin N1 Vision wireless N router for review.

WolfKing Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse Review
"Now, this mouse is far from being bad - it does have some great advantages over its competitors. The ability to change the speed and DPI of the mouse on-the-fly just by the touching a button was awesome - no need to pause your gaming session just because you realize you forgot to switch the mouse's software to a faster setting. For general browsing, 800 DPI has a very good feel, and when I Alt-Tabbed back into game (I do it a lot), I could just switch back to 1600 or 2400 and quickly get into the action again! Also, being able to get up to four continuous shots in a single click has definitely proven useful in many situations."

NVIDIA Refutes Claims Of Bad GPUs
Charlie Demerjian of the Inquirer reported last month that NVIDIA G84 and G86 GPUs were failing left and right. Most affected were the mobile versions of these GPUs because of the on-off usage pattern of notebook users, as well as the constant thermal throttling (for power management). The more frequent hot-cold heat cycling resulted in many of these GPUs dying far, far earlier than they were supposed to.
