AMD overclocks 45nm Phenoms to 4GHz and Beyond @ TechReport
The slowest system—cooled with a heatsink and fan—managed to reach just under 4GHz with a 1.55V core voltage. With liquid cooling, AMD successfully pushed a 45nm Phenom II in another machine just over the 4GHz mark. That required kicking up the CPU voltage to 1.6V, however. For the other two systems, AMD took out the big guns. One was strapped to a phase-change cooler and reached the mid-4GHz range at 1.7V, while the fastest system managed to well over 5GHz using liquid nitrogen (which kept the core temperature down to a chilly -185°C).
Acer F-22 22" LCD Monitor @ InsideHW
Formula 1 circus has a lot fanatical followers and many of them cheer for most successful team in history of Formula racing, Italian Scuderia Ferrari.

Among sundry articles from sneakers to Segway you can find even TFT monitors with Ferrari brand that are produced by Acer. We are now presenting to you 22inch model produced in limited series and each TFT has unique identification number.
ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58 Motherboard @ Tweaktown
So far we have tested GIGABYTE’s EX58-UD5 in our Core i7 CPU review and we have just recently given the P6T Deluxe the tick of approval as well, but ASUS isn’t stropping there. P6T is actually aimed at the mainstream and enthusiast sector, where today’s contender is aimed more so at the extreme and hardcore users. Running under the name of the Republic of Gamers series, the Rampage II is ASUS’ second Core i7 model to hit the market. Rampage II Extreme is the latest in the ROG series, something that ASUS really puts a lot of pride into. And with all that effort and R&D comes a price tag to match. However, if you’re one who can afford a Core i7 along with dual GPUs then you’re not going to care or skimp on the board.

Wolfking Warrior Xxtreme Gaming Keyboard Review @ Tweaknews
With the Warrior XXtreme, Wolfking set out to improve on the already great Warrior game pad by including the ability to chat and execute commands, something that was missing from its predecessor. The type of gamer you are will determine whether or not the addition of this modified QWERTY keyboard is welcome or just in the way. It became obvious early on in my testing that RPG gamers would be the ones making use of the Warrior XXtreme's full potential.

G.SKILL 64GB SATAII MLC SSD Review @ HardwareBistro
SSD is being widely used on notebook since last year 2007 as the capacity is getting higher and cost is cheaper. Many PC manufacturers have started to offer SSD for their notebooks as SSD has many great advantages over the traditional HDD. Today we will have a look of G.Skill 64GB SSD (MLC) which we would say is the minimum capacity required for a notebook especially for Vista OS.
