XFX TO START SELLING ATI CARDS AT ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Say hello to the XFX HD 4870 (1GB GDDR5), XFX HD 4870 (512MB GDDR5), XFX HD 4850 (512MB GDDR3), XFX HD 4830 (512MB GDDR3), XFX HD 4650 (1GB DDR2), XFX HD 4650 (512MB DDR2) and XFX HD 4350 (512MB DDR2)"

BFG GEFORCE GTX 285 OCX REVIEW AT GURU3D - "Today we'll catch up, BFG is the team we are talking about, and we'll look at their finest GeForce GTX 285 offering. See, just like many of NVIDIA's board partners BFG offers the product in several flavors. They offer their regular OC edition, yet also OC+, OC2 and OCX editions. They've got quite a range. We'll explain the difference over the next few pages. But of course we will first need to show you guys what the GeForce GTX 285 release is all about opposed to the GeForce GTX 280."

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4670 GDDR4 REVIEW AT ELITE BS - "After a few months of allowing potential buyers the ability to buy a card built around the reference specification, we've recently seen two new boards based around this SKU launched by Sapphire. On the one hand you have the reference clocked but passively, silently cooled Radeon HD 4670 Ultimate Edition, and on the other you have the subject of today's review, the Radeon HD 4670 GDDR4. As the card's name should suggest, this part does away with the 512MB of GDDR3 memory used by reference boards in favour of the same quantity of GDDR4 modules, which in turn gives this particular part a slightly higher memory clock speed. On top of this, Sapphire have thrown AMD's reference cooler in the bin, replacing it with a custom solution that promises to be both more efficient and much, much quieter."

FOUR X25-E EXTREME SSDs IN RAID AT TECH REPORT - "Intel's X25-E Extreme SSD is the fastest flash drive on the market. Heck, it's just about the quickest 32GB you can plug into a SATA port. Read on to see what happens when you hook four of them up to a hardware RAID controller in a striped array."

CREATIVE ZEN MP3 PLAYER REVIEW AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "There is no doubt that the iPod has a strangle-hold on the digital music player industry. In fact, iPods have become so popular that some people call all music players iPods. Yet, there are many other brands and other types of players. So we set out to see if we could find an iPod competitor that was feature-rich, capable, and had good sound quality. We found that player in the Zen by Creative. In fact, the Zen had all of these traits plus one more."

BFG GEFORCE GTX 295 REVIEW AT BJORN3D - "Each new GPU grants increased graphics and parallel computing power like we've never seen. Then along comes the GTX-295, putting SLI onto a single card and making it possible for anyone with a single PCI-E 16x slot to run SLI on one GPU on any platform, not that we'd recommend running the BFG GTX-295 on anything less than a high end Dual Core or Quad. We'd really recommend Core i7 or Phenom 2 to drive one of these beasts. With graphics running this high end you need a good CPU to prevent bottlenecking. Once you have the platform to run this beast on, the results are stunning. So far, no game we've seen, including the GPU killer Crysis, slows this beast down enough to become unplayable. Frames fly by and game play is so smooth that it makes your mouth water. The biggest problem we've had with the BFG GTX-295 so far is keeping people away from it."

INWIN COMMANDER 650W POWER SUPPLY AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "Commander 650 W is power supply from In Win that comes with an army-inspired looks, coming with a 14-mm fan, a modular cabling system and active PFC. Is this a good product? Can it really deliver its labeled power?"

LEADTEK GEFORCE GTX 285 1024MB REVIEW AT TECH POWERUP - "In essence the GeForce GTX 285 is a GTX 280 with about 10% higher clocks and slightly changed PCB and cooler. The cornerstone specs like number of shaders, ROPs, bus width and memory size have remained the same. The Leadtek GeForce GTX 285 that we have on the testbench today follows the NVIDIA reference design specifications to the letter. I'm certain Leadtek is already working on an overclocked version of the GTX 285."

ACARD ANS-9010 SERIAL ATA RAM DISK REVIEW AT TECH REPORT - "We haven't heard much about RAM disks since Gigabyte's i-RAM, but now ACard has one that supports up to 64GB of DDR2 memory, has dual SATA ports, and even sports a CF slot for backups. Keep reading to see how it fares against the fastest SSDs around."

ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 285 AMP REVIEW AT TBREAK - "The GTX285 is basically a GTX280 with the same number of Shaders and the same memory interface that has been moved from 65nm to 55nm manufacturing process with clock speeds increased on the memory, Shaders and core- something many manufacturers have already done with their GTX280 GPU powered cards."

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 285 AND 295 REVIEW AT TECH REPORT - "Two new GeForces are here, making a claim as the fastest cards around. We've tested them against, well, everything. Almost. 17 different GPU configs. Six of the latest games. A killer Core i7 test rig. And our first-ever triple-slot cooler. Dig in for an epic TR-style review."

XFX GEFORCE 9800 GTX BLACK REVIEW AT XS REVIEWS - "nVidia have recently decided to rename a lot of their 9 series cards with the GT1 series moniker. Fortunately, XFX sent us over a couple before this, so today I'm not testing a GT something or other, it's a 9800 GTX + Black Edition. Let's check it out."

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 295 DUAL-GPU REVIEW AT TECH SPOT - "Nvidia used their older GeForce 9 series to compete at the mainstream level, leaving the newer GTX technology for high performance graphics. Meanwhile, ATI launched a number of interesting products that belonged to their Radeon 4800 line. That included the Radeon HD 4870 X2, a dual GPU graphics card that snatched the performance crown from Nvidia's hands, though ATI didn't ask peanuts for this board at $550+ a piece."

SEAGATE 1.5TB BARRACUDA FIRMWARE UPDATE AT TECH REPORT - "Seagate broke the terabyte barrier with a 1.5TB version of its Barracuda 7200.11, but soon after its release, users of the drive started experiencing random freezing. A firmware update has since corrected the issue, and we've taken it for a quick spin to see if there's a performance hit."

CES 2009 : GADGETS GALORE AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "New technologies and new gadgets are always a big attraction for those attending CES Consumer Electronic Show. We all look on in amazement at what the human mind can conceive and achieve. The big question, however, is always whether the new product will be the wave of the future or a flash in the pan. So we looked at some of the gadgets and gizmos at CES this year with that in mind."

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 295 OC REVIEW AT TWEAK TOWN - "Last year it was the Q6600; we wanted to get it to 4GHz and we did. We also had that lovely new i7 CPU known as the 920 which overclocks so well. This year we’re getting into it early, though, thanks to NVIDIA. The GTX 295 is to date the fastest single graphics card you can purchase. We found this out when reviewing the Gainward card earlier today."

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 295 REVIEW AT TRUSTED REVIEWS - "Officially launched yesterday at CES, the GTX 295 is nVidia's latest top-end graphics card and, as that preamble will have suggested to you, it uses two GTX 280 chips working together in a single card (just like SLI but on one card) to theoretically hand the competition its own proverbials. In actual fact, the GTX 295 isn't quite two fully-fledged GTX 280s in so much as the clock speeds of the two chips have been lowered to the same as that of the GTX 260. Basically, the two cores run at 576MHz with the shader clock set to 1,242MHz. Memory speed has also been reduced to 1,998MHz."

AMD PHENOM II PROCESSORS REVIEW AT TECH REPORT - "After months of anticipation, AMD's first wave of 45nm desktop processors is finally here. Do the new Phenom IIs fare any better than their predecessors against Intel's Core 2 Quads, and more importantly, how do they compare to the new Core i7s? Read on for all the details."

MSI DKA790GX PLATINUM MOTHERBOARD REVIEW AT TECH REPORT - "Phenom II has arrived, and unlike the Core i7, it'll drop right into existing and inexpensive motherboards. MSI's DKA790GX Platinum is one such board, packing AMD's 790GX integrated graphics chipset and CrossFire support for under $150. Check out our review so see how it performs with a Phenom II strapped in."

AMD PHENOM II X4 940 BLACK EDITION REVIEW AT AMDZONE - "The processors launching today from AMD are the Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition and Phenom II X4 920. Naming schemes have changed again dramatically and as you might be aware their naming scheme now matches identically to Intel's new Core i7 with their 920 and 940. This isn't the first time we've seen this in the processor realm but you have to go back some time until AMD they were so exactly similar. A little disappointing but we assume of course the intention is to draw the average consumer towards the similarly titled product. We're not sure how well it work but it's worth a shot."

HIS RADEON HD 4870 ICEQ4 TURBO REVIEW AT GURU3D - "This year a good number of games were released that actually make good use of a frame buffer larger than 512 MB. Specifically at higher resolutions with a decent amount of Anti-aliasing and in DX10 games. Suffice to say we'll look at a 1 GB graphics card today. It's based on the Radeon HD 4870 and comes from HIS technology."

GEFORCE 9600 GSO TO 8800 GTS MOD GUIDE AT TECH ARP - "However, a method for soft-modding an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO into an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB has been found. This mod instantly gives you a GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB card at half the cost!"

ASUS EEE PC 1002HA REVIEW AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "Eee PC from ASUS is a series of small laptops (called "netbooks" by the manufacturer) coming with an unbeatable price tag, being perfect for users that want an inexpensive, small and light laptop for carrying around and don't mind having a smaller 10" screen.
