OCZ Technology 4GB Rally2 USB Flash Drive @ Viper Lair
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-13 01:34:56 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "The OCZ Technology 4GB Rally2 USB Flash Drive is the fastest flash drive I've had the opportunity to work with. The drive itself has a tough, durable feel to it given the chassis is made primarily out of aluminum. Thankfully, OCZ has one of the more classic types of logos, so the corporate branding doesn't over power the aesthetics of the device."

ASUS 8600GT TOP @ TheTechLounge
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-13 01:33:58 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "I was a bit surprised that Asus asked us to review their *flagship budget* -- it's weird just writing that -- 8600 GT TOP. It's new SKU for a card closing in on its end of life; the model being about a year old now.  Just the same, with a hundred-dollar price tag, it's definitely an audience, no matter what cards there are competing against it, or what cards have been released since. And it's a pretty highly-regarded card; go on any hardware forum and there's a dozen  NVIDIA people extolling the virtues of the 8600 GTs when it comes to  budget gaming."

2GB versus 4GB of Memory on Vista 64-bit @ Legit Reviews
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-13 01:31:12 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "Our average frame rate increase of 1.6% in nine games was slightly higher than the 1.1% shown by Corsair in the three games they tested, but our test system was a little newer and we were running Vista SP1. Something else that we noted while running the benchmarks is that game loading times were also significantly enhanced by installing 4GB of system memory. While load times was not the focus of this article  we noted that Crysis v1.21 loaded 54.1% faster (14.28s versus 22.00s) on the initial level load."

GTA IV: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly @ XSReviews
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-13 01:29:16 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "As good as GTA IV is, in some areas, this reviewer has found it quite a let down in many others, so much so that I may not even finish the game; I haven't decided if I can soldier through or not. While some of the issues I raise might be just personal gripes of my own, many others have complained about the very same issues I'm commenting on. This isn't just an angry reviewer, taking a pot shot, these are legitimate problems."

Cyber Snipa Warboard Gaming Keyboard @ Pro-Clockers
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-13 01:09:58 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "The Warboard looks to be the weapon you would like to take into battle with. Equipped with more keys than shells in a M16. Aimed with more programmable keys then most other keyboards on the market, the Warboard can be customized to your every command. There are many keyboards that come with customizable keys; well, Cyber Snipa did one up and added anti-ghosting as well as other features that you probably didn’t know were possible in a keyboard. Anti-ghosting? You have to read thru the review to find out."

Palit 9600GT Sonic 1GB @ Tweaktown
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-12 01:57:13 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "Palit are back again with another 9600GT. While this model is a Sonic variant, this one also sports 1GB of memory. What’s cool about this card is that more often than not you have two options when it comes to getting a card other than stock. You can get yourself one with more memory, which generally comes under the “Super” naming scheme; the other option is that you get yourself an overclocked model. This comes under the “Sonic” naming scheme for Palit. Today we’ve got ourselves a 1GB card which also happens to be overclocked."

Gigabyte X48 DQ6 775 Motherboard @ Pro-Clockers
Posted by Rchiileea on: 2008-05-12 01:56:06 in category: Reviews from the Web [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]

Quote: "Gigabyte being a leader in motherboards is making it easy on us to have the best when new chipsets are released. They have being right there, first to market, when Intel believed it was time for change. This used to be a position held by Asus. Gigabyte is the first to bring us the new X48 chipset to our rigs. This honor belongs to the X48-DQ6 and X48T-DQ6, DDR2 and DDR3 versions respectively. The DQ6 being the high end model for Gigabyte, it has all the bells and whistles. From complex cooling systems to high-end capacitors you can’t ask for more in a motherboard except for excellent overclocking. Can the X48-DQ6 accomplish what we achieved with EX-38 just a few weeks ago?"
