Jetway NC94-510-LF @ Techware Labs
“Today we take a look at a low power high efficiency Intel Atom D510 based board from Jetway. This board offers the ability to have a Home media or backup server that wont break the bank. The NC94-510-LF from Jetway includes some surprising features for such a compact board with some possible issues which we explore in our review.”
ASUS P6T SE @ Hexus
“Entry-level status means that the P6T SE does without a lot of the bells and whistles that, really, most people don’t need. Whilst we can understand the lack of bundled brackets and the omission of a board-mounted button here or there in the name of cost, the absence of SLI certification is a considerable compromise that isn’t made on some competitors’ cheaper boards.”
Intel Core i7 930 CPU @ Hexus
“Priced at the same $284 (£215) as the entry-level LGA1366 offering, Intel is quietly pushing the Core i7 930 to retail. Dropping into our labs on a Friday afternoon from the folks at Scan, we take a look at performance against the chip it effectively replaces. We throw in AMD’s £137 Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition for good measure.”
OCZ Vertex Limited Edition @ Hot Hardware
“When we first took a look at OCZ’s Vertex 2 Pro series SSD back in February, we noted that our evaluation was a product “preview” due to the fact that the product was still being finalized in many ways and wasn’t yet available on the open market. Little did we know that exact product would never see the light of day in retail.”
OCZ Vertex 2 Pro 100GB @ TweakTown
“Today we are looking at the OCZ Technology Vertex 2 Pro. What makes the Vertex 2 Pro so special is that it uses one of the first true enterprise grade solid state controllers and pairs it with low cost consumer grade Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory.”
Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB @ Bjorn3D
“Resigned with a Toshiba controller and Toshiba Nand Flash the drive we are looking at today boasts a 230MB/s read and a 180MB/s write speed. Previous versions had a Samsung controller and the new Toshiba controller and Nand MLC flash is expected to be faster and supports Trim out of the box in Windows 7.”
Toshiba HG2 43nm 256GB SSD @ Legit Reviews
“The 256GB Toshiba HG2 Series drive that we benchmarked proved to be a solid performing mainstream SSD from our testing. The vast majority of file transfers in Windows are sequential read and write data moves and the HG2 had very respectable sequential speeds. For example in ATTO we were able to reach 241MB/s read and 177MB/s write.”
WD 1TB Caviar Green Hard Drive @ Hot Hardware
“Western Digital recently began to ship a new series of Caviar hard drives that included the company’s Advanced Format technology. The new Caviar Green models are nearly identical to their standard brethren, but offer double the cache (64MB instead of 32MB at 1-2TB) and have a different model number. A WD10EARS is an Advanced Format drive; a WD10-EADS is a ‘normal’ drive.”
ASRock H55DE3 @ Motherboards.org
“ASRock has taken the H55 chipset and added some features most motherboards on this chipset don’t have. The ability to overclock the CPU and internal graphics by up to 50% is a great thing especially since the CPUs in question have some room to overclock. The H55 chipset is meant for the casual gamer with support for DirectX 10 on the Intel GMA HD.”
ASUS P7H57D-V EVO @ Legit Reviews
“The P7H57D-V EVO motherboard is another fine example of great engineering from the gang at ASUS. Everything from the box and bundle to the TurboV EVO overclocking software exudes quality. The board is extremely stable even when pushed to the limits and has an overwhelming feature list, which include SATA 6G and USB 3.0.”
