Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 @ Motherboards.org
“The inclusion of so many new features can cripple the functionality of other features such as CrossfireX on the P55 chipset, but the 790FX chipset is built with more than 36 PCI Express lanes in mind for 4-way Crossfire, meaning there is plenty of headroom for using the PCI Express lanes for SATA 3 and USB 3.0 with the Marvell and NEC controller chips.”
ASUS P6X58D @ Bjorn3D
“The X58 chipset is currently the flagship of Intel’s chipset line, but it was lacking a couple of key features due to its launch date. These where of course SATA 3 and USB 3. This is no longer true thanks to Asus. They have put a SATA 3 Controller onboard as well as adding two USB 3 ports on the back of the motherboard.”
Jetway NC63-330-LF @ PCShopTalk
“Jetway has manufactured a lot of IPC boards, with different configurations and the last ones that caught my attention were the ION ones, which offer integrated DX10 accelerated graphics for games and also video acceleration for watching Full HD movies. In this review I will describe the board and I will also do some tests, both synthetic and gaming.”
Intel H55 Mobo Shootout @ HardwareZone
“Intel has unleashed a wave of low-power, 32nm dual-core processors with integrated graphics for the new year. To match these LGA1156 processors and unlock its graphics capabilities, you’ll need a motherboard based on Intel’s H55 Express chipset. We check out five such boards and give our verdict.”
OCZ Agility 60GB SSD @ Neoseeker
“OCZ sent us their 60GB Agility SSD, built around the famous Indilinx controller and MLC flash. The drive supports the TRIM command, currently only available in Windows 7, and is also available in 30GB, 120GB and 250GB capacities. Promising 230 MB/s read and 135 MB/s write speeds, it is much faster than any hard drive on the market.”
Kingston 128GB V+ SNV325-S2 @ Legit Reviews
“Kingston Technology’s second generation of their SSDNow V+ Series of SSDs performed very well and was stutter free no matter what the task was that we threw at it on the desktop or in our notebook. The Kingston SSDNow V+ was said to have sequential read speeds of up to 230MB/sec. and write speeds of up to 180MB/sec.”
Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD @ Think Computers
“Kingston had put out a V+ series drive which had better speeds and was targets at high-level users and corporate environments. Recently Kingston has developed a second-generation of the V+, which supports Windows 7 TRIM support, is available up to 512GB and provides faster performance over the previous version of the drive.”
Gen-2 Kingston SSDNowV+ @ Benchmark Reviews
“Solid State Drive technology is developed for two groups of users: large-scale Enterprise environments and individual end-users. Kingston Technology has been in the business of satisfying enthusiasts and gamers for many years, and their SSDNow series of NAND-flash storage products has been the affordable solution for system upgrades.”
“AMD is launching a bevy of new processors today, targeted squarely at budget conscious consumers, looking to save a few bucks on the their next PC build. The new processors differ from previous offerings in their respective product families in terms of frequency, and of course their model names, but all are based on existing architectures and technology.”

I have posted my review of Crucial’s latest in consumer grade, high density DDR3 UDIMMs, the 4GB DDR3-1333MHz CT51264BA1339 module. The high density nature of these UDIMMs does not impose a limit on the maximum amount of DRAM you system can use, in fact you’ll likely be limited by your board before you can exceed the number of available DIMM slots. You’ll also benefit from the respected quality, warranty and customer support of Crucial. Read the review to find out more!
