Review: Asus X5DC-SX025V | Posted on: 24/08/2010 @ 20:24

Any manufacturer producing a sub-£299 laptop should be commended for making mobile computing as financially accessible as possible. Yet, while the Asus X5DC-SX025V is a very comfortable machine to use, it is largely outperformed across the board by the other laptops of a similar price. Despite featuring 3072MB of memory, the 1.2GHz Intel Celeron 220 processor proved the least powerful against ...

Biostar TA870+: The Weakest of the Strong | Posted on: 16/08/2010 @ 2:10

We’ve previously reviewed motherboards based on AMD’s 880 and 890 chips, and now the time has come to take a look at 870, which, as its name suggests, presents us with the weakest variant of AMD’s new generation chip. Biostar’s TA870+ motherboard uses the SB850 southbridge in conjunction with this chip, therefore integrating native 6 Gbps support, but (as we know from previous tests) has ...

Gigabyte GA-X58-UD9 | Posted on: 09/08/2010 @ 10:48

The Gigabyte GA-X58-UD9 comes with big performance and a big price tag. We are well aware of Gigabyte's reputation among overclockers, and truth be told, we're big fans as well, since we've seen them display some of the best stability and recovery from extreme overclocking we've ever encountered.

Accessible AMD 880G Boards | Posted on: 06/08/2010 @ 22:00

We’ve received two representatives of the new AMD 880G chipset which should, unlike AMD’s 890GX, bring somewhat lower performance, but at a significant price decrease.

Review: Asus M4A88TD-V EVO | Posted on: 06/08/2010 @ 19:00

Asus is the name, impossibly slick motherboards is the game. Even this modest M4A88TD-V Evo model is still quite a looker. For starters, like nearly all Asus boards it's immaculately arranged. Wherever possible, components are positioned in near-perfect little rows. It must make motherboard engineers from other companies weep onto their MOSFETs. Then there's the natty blue-and-black colour scheme ...

Review: ASRock 880GMH USB3 | Posted on: 06/08/2010 @ 17:24

Fact: When it comes to CPUs, AMD makes cheapo chips. Would it prefer to sock it to Intel at the more profitable end of the market? You're damn tootin', it would. But until its all-new Bulldozer processor rocks up next year, AMD is stuck peddling a geriatric CPU architecture that dates back to 2003. In our minds, then, PCs based on AMD technology are all about maximum performance in return for the ...

Today, we have the successor to the Rampage II Gene, the aptly named Rampage III Gene. As with the Rampage III Extreme we reviewed earlier this year, the Gene is an evolution of ASUS's flagship platform. One of the caveats of the Extreme was its size, which at 1inch wider, potentially created compatibility problems but the Gene manages to pack most of the features from its bigger brother into ...
