AMD; Down On It's Luck Again with Apple @ CoolTechZone

"Those of us aware of AMD's tremendous potential as a chipmaker have to be disappointed by Apple's recent news that it has chosen Intel as the sole chip provider for its Macintosh computers. In addition to the Apple news, AMD continues to strike out many of the world's largest PC OEMs, such as Dell. If the Apple news is true, this would come as a yet another financial hit to AMD and its strategies. Unfortunately for AMD, it is trapped in a vicious circle of supply and demand."

ASUS P5LD2 Premium @ t-break

"With the 945 chipset, Intel allows support for 1066MHz FSB Dual Core CPUs along with PCI-Express, dual channel DDR2 667 and 3Gb SATA with Matrix Storage allowing creation of RAID 0,1,5 and 10. You also get High Definition Audio and eight USB 2.0 ports. While these are pretty good features, ASUS adds quite a few things to it to make it one of the most feature rich boards to hit our labs."

"There is only one word to describe what this case looks like in person..."Elegant". This case has a look to it that is like no other case I have seen. Instead of having a run of the mill window or some cheesy cut out with a window. AeroCool decided to be different. "Well Dante, what do you mean by different?" what I mean is that they used mesh."

BenQ Joybee 130 @ Bytesector

"BenQ makes another addition to the popular flash-based mp3 player market with the Joybee 130. BenQ is known for introducing innovative products into the market, and the Joybee is no exception. As well as being a full featured mp3 player, the Joybee has a few tricks of it's own that make it very unique."
