ATI CrossFireX: It Takes Two To Tango @ InsideHW
Published: Wednesday, June 2, 2010 | By: WillThis article is not something new to the world of Graphic cards anymore, but an article more or less doing an updated state of CrossfireX is always enjoyable. Check out the graphs and check out how much a second can put into your gaming face.
"No need for excessive amounts of talk here - the charts are saying "yes" to CrossFireX, which was ripe last year already, but ironed out to near perfection now, and it seems to be getting even better as time goes by..."
Enjoy!

Foxconn A88GM Deluxe Motherboard Review @ Hardware Secrets
Published: Wednesday, June 2, 2010 | By: WillIn the sea of Asus, MSI and even Gigabyte AMD boards you tend to not find much more out there in the way of newest chipset support for AMD. Don't fear looks like Foxconn has gotten something for everyone with thier new 880GX chipset board that even includes lots of overclocking potential.
"The new AMD 880G chipset is based on Radeon HD 4250 graphics engine, which is a slower version of the graphics engine used on AMD 890GX (Radeon HD 4290). This way 880G-based motherboards are cheaper than 890GX-based ones. AMD 880G chipset is normally paired with AMD SB710 south bridge chip, but on A88GM Deluxe the manufacturer decided to use SB850, which is the south bridge chip from AMD 890GX, providing native support for SATA-600 ports. This way A88GM Deluxe is one step above other motherboards based on the same chipset."
I'm kind of diggin the colors as well. Makes me think of a giant bummble bee.

Memory Freezer - LN2 pot for RAM @ ocaholic
Published: Tuesday, June 1, 2010 | By: WillI can hear the arguments already of why would you need that to cool your RAM. Please everyone stop and think this is Ninjalane and we like to freeze everything. Well almost everything. Needless to say it is freaking red and cool.
"Due to the fact that ten degrees less on a memory module can make a significant difference in overclocking ocaholic decided to develop its very own liquid nitrogen pot for Corsair Dominator modules. In combination with Corsair GTX2 modules Roger (splmann) Tanner and Marc (Besi) Voser gave their best in overclocking these modules driving them at 1.8 VDIMM and very tight 5-7-7-21 timings."
Pun intended!

Bigfoot Networks Killer 2100 Gaming Network Card Review @ ThinkComputers
Published: Tuesday, June 1, 2010 | By: WillA new graphics card to a new faster processor will give you a better gaming experience, but will a Killer NIC do the same for your gaming. Let's read this review and see if it helps out at all, or just wastes a PCI-Express slot.
"Bigfoot Networks originally released the Killer NIC M1 and K1 models in 2006, with the suped-up network cards getting some major attention in 2007. Mid-2009, Bigfoot Networks released the Killer Xeno Pro, a slimmed down version of the first generation models, both in size and extra features. It didn't stop there, though. Bigfoot Network released May 11, 2010 the Killer 2100 Gaming Network Card. This new version focuses on the core features at the heart of the idea of a network processing unit: offloading and acceleration. ThinkComputers measures up the Killer 2100 in this extensive review. Read on for more information, pictures, and benchmarks."
Judgement is still out on this one.
