   <title>Get out and enjoy some controlled, highly energetic chemical reactions</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Meridian, one of our forum moderators is playing with a D0 stepping Core i7 920.  He is trying to peg down the best overclock by manipulating all of the possible variables that apply to overclocking this new architecture.  Take a peek and see what tricks you can pick up and post in this thread if you have any comments or questions.  The overclock d...]]></description>

   <title>When you are this good you don't need a fancy name</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Opting for a less extravagant name, Intel's new extreme motherboard for the Core i7 is called the DX58SO.  As well they went with no box art and a minimum of connectors and adaptors.  The extras are on the motherboard as well as the driver CD which comes with a long list of software.  One of the most noticeable features when you first look at this ...]]></description>

   <title>Pimp your mouse</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Although it is at its heart a Gigabyte GM-M7800, the   Gigabyte Elegant Vogue Wireless Mouse  
is much more than that.  18 karat gold highlights and Swarovski crystals
set off the two tone leather covering of this stylish mouse.  Make sure to grab yours quickly as there are only 10,000 being made and Hardware Zone has already grabbed one.

   <title>The exact opposite of vapourware</title>
   <description><![CDATA[When you buy a factory overclocked card with some sort of spiffy name or a long string of capital letters denoting exactly how cool the card is, it can be disappointing to discover a 10MHz overclock on the GPU.  Sapphire's Toxic HD 4890 Vapor-X
will not disappoint, it sports a 960MHz core clock speed which is 110MHz over reference and a 300MHz adv...]]></description>

   <title>$130 could also get you an HD4770</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Probably the biggest improvement of Bigfoot Networks since the release of the original Killer NIC is the drop in price of its new generation of network accelerators; the Killer Xeno Prois only $130.  It is based around a 400MHz PowerPC processor with 128MB of RAM and like the original it will bypass the Windows TCP/IP stack and handle networking by...]]></description>

   <title>How do they get the liquid into the centre?</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Tech-Reviews has picked up a strange liquid based laptop cooler from Nexus called the TDD-9000.  While it may look like a mouse pad, it is instead a liquid filled base for you to place your laptop on which is intended to provide cooling.  It did feel like it was filled with gel, as opposed to a true liquid which could be very important if it was ev...]]></description>

   <title>You wouldn't keep a stock heatsink</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Ditch the bundled headphones that came with your iPhone in favour of the  Radius Atomic Bass Earphones for iPhone; your ears will love you.  This in-ear headphones can be yours for under $40 and will provide a much better sound quality than the stock headphones though perhaps not as good as $400 sets.  One of the big differences between them would ...]]></description>

   <title>TRIM those offsets</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The Tech Report's previous review of SSDs, in which they found serious problems with the performance of the Indilinx Barefoot controlled Super Talent and OCZ SSD drives generated some feedback from listeners.  Their comments can be summed up as a complaint that if they had used Vista, instead of XP and its default 63-sector partition offset which i...]]></description>

   <title>Starting off on the right foot</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Apart from a questionable neon green motif, Maxcube's first offering is a rather impressive case.  Its pair of 120mm fans seem to be enough to keep the air moving inside the case and the depth of almost 8" means that fitting larger Core i7 coolers into this case is not going to offer a problem.  Tool-less installation, numerous eSATA and USB ports ...]]></description>

   <title>If you build it, they will come?</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The rumours of Ion 2 are growing, and with the nature of the industry they will become fact sooner rather than later.  As Jon Peddie put it to The Inquirer, we all are trapped in the mantra of Moore's law. 
If you don't build faster and better chips, you get left behind.  Most rumours agree that nVIDIA will double the shaders to 32, while simultan...]]></description>

Since you can't catch him on the live podcast tonight on TWiT at 7pm EDT, his reviews are the 
best way to hear what he has to say about current technology.  In this particular case, Silverstone did an excelle...]]></description>

   <title>AMD Phenom II TWKR chips tested, but does it matter?</title>
   <description><![CDATA[We first brought up the AMD TWKR processors last week but we are now starting to see some actual hands-on time with the processors at various places around the web.  The Inquirer posted an update about these CPUs today as well:


AMD appears to have sent out their little TWKRs to the creme de la creme of overclocking high society, with forums an...]]></description>

   <title>TSMC still having problems with 40nm production</title>
   <description><![CDATA[EETimes is reporting that the 40nm process at TSMC, the same one responsible for the Radeon HD 4770 and both NVIDIA and AMD's latest mobility GPU offerings, is still having SIGNIFICANT yield problems.


In fact, not only do our checks suggest 40-nm yields but, to our surprise, these have remained below 30 percent, affecting shipments in 2H09,'' ...]]></description>

   <title>An easy weekend project</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Do you have an old laptop or desktop system hiding away somewhere; which you plan to do something with, at some time in the future?  Why not turn it into an HTPC system?  Sure, it is nice to go out, pickup an Atom + 9400M motherboard and a sweet Shuttle HTPC case and put together a brand new system, but you could always do that sometime in the futu...]]></description>

   <title>Your reasonably priced HD gaming solution</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The ViewSonic VX2433wm is a $220, 23" LCD whose native 1920x1080 happens to be the same resolution as 1080p.  This means that your HD content will not have any pixel manipulation in order to display.  It also sports a fast enough response rate to allow ghosting free gaming.  Big Bruin would like to give you a warning about the built in speakers tho...]]></description>

   <title>Busting ghosts, not GPUs</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Ghostbusters is a game with a message, and that message is that you don't need Quad-SLI to run a 30" LCD all of the time.  In a way that is really good, as Ghostbusters does not seem to support multiple GPUs very well; that may be because it just isn't demanding enough to need them very much.  [H]ard|OCP had a 1GB HD4870 and a GTX260 running the ga...]]></description>

   <title>AMD VP claims no price war, forgets it started it</title>
   <description><![CDATA[This is kind of an odd little article over at The Inquirer: an AMD Senior Vice President, Rick Bergman, claims that they "WILL NOT engage Nvidia in a price slashing war."  Uhhh, maybe I am dreaming, but I think that war is already on and in fact it was AMD that started it.

   <title>Hulu pulps Joost</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Relative newcomer to the streaming content business Hulu has displaced Joost in the hearts of internet users as the favourite way to grab 
online TV series and movies.  The original concept of Joost might have been a bit too broad, using bittorrent to distribute the content was certainly a great idea, but their concept of content was so broad they...]]></description>

   <title>NVIDIA at risk of losing the Apple deal</title>
   <description><![CDATA[While this shouldn't really come as a big surprise to anyone that pays attention to these sorts of things, a post over at Semiaccurate is saying that in all likely hood NVIDIA is "being shown the door" when it comes to future Apple system designs.  

Back when the NVIDIA-based Apple notebooks were first announced, you will remember a lot of confu...]]></description>
