Recent Reviews:

ASUS Xonar D1 PCI Audio Card
Review Image The ASUS Xonar D1 is a 7.1 channel solution designed to fit into full sized or low profile systems, and offers exceptional audio in 3D games and home theater applications. If you are serious enough about sound to realize that the onboard solution just isn't cutting it, the Xonar D1 is worth considering. [link]

OCZ Technology SLI-Ready 2GB DDR3-2000 Memory Kit
Review Image The OCZ Technology SLI-Ready 2GB DDR3-2000 memory kit is almost ahead of its time. The motherboard used does support SLI-Ready memory up to 2000MHz, but it did have some trouble staying stable at that speed. Testing really didn't show much advantage over a ‘slower’ kit, and if you can run with tighter timings at lower speeds you may be better off. [link]

Sapphire Atomic Radeon HD4870 X2 2048MB Graphics Card
Review Image The features, specifications, real world performance, and physical appearance are all incredible. It is one of the highest performance cards on the market, while also probably being one of the coolest and quietest. This low noise and low heat is even more impressive when you consider that it isn't just the GPU being cooled, but the CPU and the case, too. [link]
