"Old system got you down in the dumps and you're tired of sinking more money into a black pit of despair? It's time to start fresh, and we've got complete system builds ranging from under $500 for the base computer up to just under $1000 for a powerful new build."

"We compared the performance of five different solid state drives (SSDs) on the 64 GB range based on MLC technology from Kingston, OCZ, Patriot, Mushkin and Intel. Results updated."

"The card uses ATI's newest 40nm chip from TSMC, codenamed Cedar. The GPU is a mere 59mm2, enabling the Radeon 5450 to become the first DirectX 11 video card to sell for under $50. It will use DDR3 or DDR2, depending on the Add-In Board partner who sells the card. 512MB versions will sell for around $50, while 1GB versions will sell for around $60."

"The AMD Athlon II X4 635 is the fastest quad-core processor in the Athlon II series with its overall clock frequency of 2.9GHz. With a street price of $127 and just a 100MHz boost over its predecessor is the Athlon II X4 635 worth it? Read on to see how it performs in the benchmarks and to see how it handles being overclocked on our AMD 785G test system."

"The new model from MSI is a special edition based on Intel´s latest Pinetrail platform to celebrate the sale of one million 10-inch U100 Wind netbooks.The special edition is available in either blue or red."

"Today we are going to talk about three extremely large system cases that demonstrate dramatically different approaches to internal components organization. The interesting thing is that all three of them are targeted for the most demanding and sophisticated computer users."

"It costs $113 but with minimal effort you can reach 4GHz with the stock cooler. At those speeds (and at stock) it's a great CPU for gamers. We update you on Clarkdale and review Intel's first real answer to the Athlon II and Phenom II X2."

"Want to make the upgrade to a solid-state drive, but prefer to avoid the high cost of adoption? Kingston helps ease that pain with its SSDNow V Series 40GB, a modest drive that features Intel's NAND and impressive G2 firmware, which helps it deliver stellar performance when compared to an HDD, for an easy-to-stomach price."

"What's the best heatsink for my __________ processor? Good question, we've got the answer in Frostytech's Top 5 Heatsinks Charts. Don't go heatsink shopping without it!

Heatsinks are ranked by lowest temperature, lowest noise and for low profile heatsinks too. Only heatsinks that were tested in the Frostytech Labs are included in these Top 5 Charts, so the ranking is 100% based on cold hard test data."

"As 2009 is slowly moving toward its end, we follow up our most pirated movies chart by taking a look at the most pirated games of the year. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the absolute winner on the PC and Xbox 360, while New Super Mario Bros. scoops the title of most pirated Wii game of 2009."

"Thanks to the recovery of the global economy, shortage of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has accelerated since August and reached its peak in October this year. While the demand towards personal computers will be traditionally weak in Q1 2010, with the continuing recovery it is highly likely that DRAM shortages will return in the second half of the year, claims DRAMeXchange research company."

"Can you actually play Windows games on Linux? That's what we seek to find out. Talk about opening a can of worms!"

"As prices for quality power supplies fall, products that were once out of reach are now accessible to consumers who are on a budget. With the ever-increasing power demands of the most modern components, 850W PSUs have become one of the “sweet spots” for the current market. Today we look at nine such units; some offer a budget friendly solution while others are uncompromising in every way."

"What happens when you take a dual-core desktop Atom, add in NVIDIA's ION, and you stuff it into a 12" chassis? You get the ASUS 1201N, an interesting piece of hardware if you're in the market for something a bit more potent than your run-of-the-mill netbook."

"Unable to withstand the massive invasion of AMD/ATI solution sin high-performance segments, Nvidia has turned its efforts to the budget market. Today we are going to talk about another addition to the 40 nm graphics processor family from this company."
