More letters at Dan's Data:

I see what you're saying, here. If the memory map is filled up with installed physical RAM in blocks, so a computer with four 1Gb modules will have its first gigabyte of memory map "covered" by the first memory module, the second by the second, and so on, then loss of the whole fourth gigabyte to a dual-graphics-card memory hole would make it impossible for dual channel mode to deliver any benefit for memory accesses in that fourth gigabyte.

Creating a WinPE 2.0 Bootable USB Key at Tech ARP:

Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) is a lightweight version of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista. It is used for the deployment of workstations and servers by large corporations. WinPE 2.0 is actually the lightweight version of Windows Vista with minimal GUI and drivers, with the ability to detect USB drives on-the-fly. Just plug it in, run diskpart and then list vol. You should see your USB drive listed with drive letter already assigned.

Sunbeam Quarterback Case at 3dGameMan:

Sunbeam has knocked our socks off with their acrylic cube case. This time around, their Quarterback mid-tower case was not so pleasing. Take away the ‘Core Cooling’ system and this case is just another ordinary steel case. While the steel constructions was well implemented and sturdy, featuring curled edges, the flimsy front ‘door’ made us cringe…

Biostar TP35D3-A7 Deluxe Intel P35 DDR3 Motherboard at PCStats:

The Biostar TP35D3-A7 Deluxe motherboard really shines when it comes to overclocking. Intel's P35 Express is a great overclocking chipset and the Biostar board was able to reach an incredible 512 MHz FSB! Just imagine the overclocking possibilities with a board like this and a screamer like the 1333MHz FSB Intel Core 2 Duo E6750!

DFI Infinity P35 Blood-Iron Overclocking Test at Madshrimps:

Intel launched their P35 chipset more than 3 months ago now. I remember when the P965 launched last year; all motherboard manufacturers were rushing to release their products. From the beginning, Gigabyte’s 965-DS3 priced around USD$160 made an excellent deal, no matter the overclock or extra’s, it was the first on the market and Gigabyte did wonderful business. Later on DFI released their P965 board which was not bad at all in the overclock department, but couldn’t distinguish itself enough to warrant the higher $180 asking price.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 Digital Camera at TrustedReviews:

Panasonic has been a key player in the super-zoom field since the launch of its impressive Leica-lensed Lumix DMC-FZ1 back in 2002, and has maintained this position with a series of well-received models in the same series. Today I'm taking a look at the latest in the line, the FZ18, which offers a tempting specification for anyone with £300 to spend. It has an 8.1 megapixel CCD, 2.5in 230k LCD monitor, RAW mode shooting and a massive 18x Leica zoom lens with optical image stabilisation and a 28-504mm equivalent focal length range. There are few cameras on the market that even come close to matching a features list like that. The closest contenders are the slightly disappointing Olympus SP-550UZ (£255), or Fujifilm's Finepix S8000 fd, although that camera isn't even available until September. The current super-zoom heavyweights, the Canon PowerShot S5 IS (review coming soon), the Fujifilm Finepix S9600, the Sony DSC-H7 and even the previous holder of the "biggest lens" title the Samsung Pro815 can't match that huge zoom range.

Sony VPL-VW100 Projector also at TrustedReviews:

SXRD's other main innovation concerns black level response, overcoming LCOS's serious problems in this area by employing a unique (and secret!) liquid crystal material in such a way that it's aligned vertically to the cell substrates. What this means in performance terms is that the projector can run with more efficient driving voltages and higher optical properties, so that the contrast range is vastly improved. It's also worth noting that the response time quoted for the SXRD chipset is a mere 2.5 milliseconds, which should mean there are few if any problems with motion blur in the VW100's images.

Antec P182 Performance One Elite Computer Case at Tweaknews:

A box inside the case contains all the accessories one will need to perform a system install in the P182. Included is the top fan cover, wire clips for the middle fan, a pinout chart, drive rails, a bag with the hardware and keys and some cable management ties. We'll go over these items in more detail during installation. The air duct and fan for the graphics card area has been omitted in the P182. I found this feature to be of little practical value in the P180, so its absence is not distressing.

Sparkle Calibre P850+ 8500GT 512MB at Techgage:

What the heck is that LED readout, you ask? I asked the exact same thing, but once installed I found out it's to read the GPU core temperatures and also for diagnostic purposes if there is a problem. I quickly compared temperatures taken with this readout and also Everest 4.0, and both were identical. It's bling, really, but it looks cool and serves a purpose.

SOYO ST-SYLA04 FreeStyler 600 BlueTooth Mono Headset at Benchmark Reviews:

To test the SOYO Bluetooth head set, I paired it with my Motorola RAZR V3 cell phone and used it continuously for a 4-day period. During the 4-day period I only charged the headset 1 time, the headset is rated for 8 hours of talk time or 200 hours standby time and never died during the testing period. The headset is capable of doing many functions after you get used to using the 3 buttons located on the unit, these 3 buttons are MFB (on/off), Volume –, and Volume +.
