Forza Motorsport 2 game review at Bit-tech:

Now, before any of my eagle eyed US readers inform me that Ford does sell the Focus ST in America, I’m aware that there’s a car with that name over there, but it’s by no means the same vehicle. The US Focus ST is a dull four-door saloon with a disappointing naturally aspirated, four cylinder engine pumping out only 151bhp, whereas the European Focus ST is a rally derived hatchback sporting a turbocharged five cylinder engine putting out 222bhp, and it’s the latter car that is actually in the game!


Glacial Power 550Watt PSU at DragonSteelMods:

The Glacial Power 55oWatt Power Supply comes in an attractive box that features pictures of the PSU itself, and of course a listing of the specs and features as well, it even includes a nice carry handle for convenience.


Microsoft's ReadyBoost technology explained at Tech ARP:

You may be surprised by the decision to use flash memory. After all, hard drives have a much higher transfer rate than flash memory devices. An average 7200 RPM hard drive can easily deliver data at a rate of 60-70MB/s. Flash memory devices typically max out at 10-16MB/s. Nonetheless, maximum throughput is not the reason why flash memory was chosen.


SilverStone NS312 Networkable Hard Drive Enclosure at ReviewDesk:

If you don’t have a router, there is another option for setting this thing up, and that is by using the USB function of the NAS. Yes, that’s right, the NS312 can also connect to computers through a high-speed USB connection! Whoo hoo! You might be wondering, “Why would you shell out the extra bucks for an NAS and then just use it as a USB hard drive?” Well, the answer is speed. The USB connection should be able to transfer files about 3 times faster than a fast ethernet connection through a decent router. This is of course only an estimation, so you’ll have to check out the tests I’ll conduct later to see what kind of difference there really is.


Kingstone DataTraveler ReadyFlash also at Tech ARP:

This is because ReadyBoost requires a different type of flash memory drive. Even performance-grade flash drives may not meet ReadyBoost's performance requirements. Performance-grade flash drives focus on high-speed sequential reads and writes. However, ReadyBoost requires flash drives that focus on high-speed random reads and writes. Hence, the proliferation of ReadyBoost-capable USB flash drives.


Vizo Igloo water cooler at GideonTech:

They even included some thermal paste that works for patching nail holes in dorm room walls. I used Arctic Silver 5 for the thermal paste with all of the heat sinks I use. I would recommend you do the same in your own rig.


Another interesting editorial from that crazy Aussie:

I can't say my heart is overflowing with sympathy for the manifold difficulties that beset poor Microsoft, but learning about this stuff has made me mellower about Dumb Stuff Windows Does. Many apparently stupid features of Windows really have been forced upon Microsoft by their decision to give third party developers free rein to make whatever programs they like, whether they stick to Microsoft's guidelines or not. That decision played a big part in giving Windows its huge software library, but it also caused problems.


A.C.Ryan Blackfire4 Kameleon Fan at XtremeComputing:

To the back of the packaging you will find all the specs and what’s included in the packaging as well as a brief descriptions on the product which is really informative. Using a clean layout but still full of bold colours that just bounce out at you, so with all that said let’s take as look at the specs.


ASUS P5K Motherboard at X-bit labs:

Intel G33, Intel Q35 and Intel G35 chipsets feature integrated graphics cores with different potential. They are more than enough for office type of work, but will not cope with contemporary gaming. Those users who are not into games of any kind but care more about the computational power of the system will also be disappointed. Mainboards like that are usually designed in microATX form-factor and feature minimal options for overclocking and system fine tuning. You will be able to overclock your CPU on a mainboard like that, but you shouldn’t hope to get maximum performance.


Tagan Silver Power SP-1000E 1000watt PSU at Hi-Techreviews:

The Tagan SP-1000E GuardianX arrived in a very colorful shipping carton with a nice carrying handle which will come in handy due to the fact that the overall weight of the power supply is hefty. Tagan does not place a great deal of information on their cartons and I for one think that this is a bad idea if they plan to market their power supplies in the USA. Having worked in advertising for a number of years I learned that the American buyers likes to see what they are purchasing prior to putting down their money. This is even more important if the boxes happen to be sealed and the customer has no way of seeing the product.
