Intel X25-M 80 GB Mainstream SATA SSD Review @ ocaholic
Published: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 | By: WillIntel FTW here folks. Looking at the SSD for a little while now. They have really been a mixed bag on the overall performance results. Now, Intel has made a beast of a SSD. This is a very impressive new drive.
"Today the conventional hard disk is still the bottleneck in modern computers and only because of the RAM it doesn't have a very heavy influence on the whole system performance. But unfortunately we have to wait for the hard disk again and again and therefore it doesn't matter if we start a program or read/write from/into a database. If we compare the time we wait for the hard drive to the operations a processor can execute per second or data that can be sent through memory per second we have to wait very long. But at least there is hope that the bottleneck gets a little wider with the new Intel SSD-family.
Time to beg, borrow, and steal to get the fastest drive around.

Fall Processor Pricing - Finding the Best Bang for the Buck @ Techgage
Published: Friday, September 5, 2008 | By: WillThis article just grabs me whenever I see the words "best bang for the buck." In more ways than one. Anyways here is a great run down of what to look for this fall in prices. I myself love to go cheap, and overclock hard.
"If pondering an upgrade, the time to purchase a new processor is now. Both AMD and Intel are offering a great collection of models that fit all budgets, and we take a look to find the best options available. Whether it's a Dual-Core or Quad-Core you're after, there's undoubtedly a model that fits nicely into your price range and won't let you down."
Get your mind out of the gutter!

Chrome - Google's Attempt at the 'Ultimate Browser' @ Techgage
Published: Wednesday, September 3, 2008 | By: WillGoogle is stepping up. I personally have not tried the new browser. Still I have heard a few people so far really like it. I'm waiting on the Mac version here.
"Sure, the Internet has no shortage of web browsers, but it's not often that someone comes along and tries something different, and believe it or not, it's Google this time around. We're taking a look at the first beta release of their Chrome browser, which happens to be ultra-fast, stable, intuitive and lightweight, all at the same time."
Where is my Mac version? This is unacceptable!
