Legion Hardware — (Gigabyte K8VT890-9)

"The FSB is limited to 250MHz, though this was not such an issue as the motherboard appeared to be unable to exceed a 220MHz FSB. Given this is a budget motherboard I felt it would be important to offer reasonably good overclocking performance. After all, overclocking was originally all about getting the most bang for your buck and there is no better way to do this than overclocking."

Sapphire Radeon X850 XT PCIe Review @ Bjorn3D

"For a while, the Radeon X800 XT PE was the best ATI-based card you could get. At the end of last year, ATI changed that by releasing the X850 series of cards. Just like the X800 series, the X850 comes in several flavors: Pro, XT, and XT Platinum Edition (in order of least to most horsepower and therefore cost)."

SWAT4 @ TrustedReviews

"For SWAT4, you should think less of Michael Bay, and more of Michael Mann. Mann’s gunfights — the bungled bank job in Heat, the nightclub assassination in Collateral — are full of sudden, deadly shocks. Bullets fly wild. They wound, incapacitate or kill without prejudice or warning. A split second’s hesitation — or just being in the wrong place in the wrong fraction of a second — is all that separates the living from the dead. In all the noise and confusion, only those who keep their head together will keep their head intact."

iAudio M3L review @ HWzone.co.il

"Several months ago we have reviewed iRiver´s H-120 MP3 player, and we came to the conclusion that it was the best MP3 player that was available at that time. Since it is very important to be familiar with the features and capabilities of the H120 in order to understand the differences between it and the iAudio M3L, we strongly recommend that you read our review, if you haven´t done so already. In order to determine which of the two players is better at daily use, we intend to be extremely petty and bring every little detail of the M3L to your attention."

Elite Bastards review: Logitech Ultra-X keyboard

"Unlike most cheap keyboards, especially the notorious ´Free After Rebate´ models, this keyboard feels very solid and well-made. The board itself is very well-made and doesn´t flex, a notorious problem with certain laptop keyboards, and typing on it gives you an excellent sense of tactile feedback since they have a slight "click" characteristic of laptop keyboards, they have the full-length key travel of desktop keyboards, and they have a generally very firm feeling with any of the mushiness characteristic of cheap, low-quality keyboards. Additionally, the keyboard is surpisingly heavy considering its compact size, and when placed on a table does not slide around at all. Logitech is known for making peripherals with excellent quality, and this one seems to follow that reputation very well."

Nikon Coolpix 7900 @ TrustedReviews

"I normally start my reviews by describing my initial impressions of the camera, talking about build quality, control layout and handling, then move on to features and performance, and usually finish up with my opinion of the image quality. However, for this review of the new Nikon Coolpix 7900, I’m going to approach it a little differently. I want to talk about image quality right from the start, because frankly it’s made such a big impression on me."

Dell Inspiron 9300, Flagship Widescreen Laptop, Reviewed @ BIOS

"If you need the power of a desktop and the portability of a laptop, theInspiron 9300 is the ideal choice. With a choice of powerful Pentium Mprocessors, good storage capability, a range of PCI-Express (PCIe) graphicsoptions and a large 17in. widescreen display, the Inspiron 9300 packs apunch. The system´s build quality is reasonable (it still suffers from aflexible plastic chassis that´s an issue with most Dell laptops), and it´sbattery life is only moderate, but the Inspiron 9300 is still excellentvalue for money."

Pioneer DVR-A09XL 16x DVD±RW @ CDRLabs

"Like the DVR-A08XL, the DVR-A09XL can write to both DVD-R and DVD+R media at 16x. Unlike its predecessor though, it uses CAV when writing at this speed. This allowed the DVR-A09XL to write an entire 4.7GB DVD in about 6 minutes. Pioneer´s new drive also also turned in some very good times when writing to DVD-RW media at 6x, but would not write to any of our 8x DVD+RW media, even with the latest firmware. The DVR-A09XL´s DVD+R DL writing performance did make up for this somewhat. Thanks to its 6x writing speed, it took the drive a little more than 19 minutes to burn an entire 8.5GB DVD."
