Super Talent recently has produced its new solid state drive called ultra drive. Solid state drives have several advantages over standard hard drives, they work at lower temperatures, faster access times, they're much more reliable as they don't don't have any moving parts, are tougher and silent. In addition they are also light weight, they don't use as much power. Unfortunately solid state drives have still some disadvantages over standard hard drives for example they have low capacity, they're much more expensive and the CPU usage are higher.

These are the results compared to standard hard drive and ultra drive:

Standard HD: Read access time: 6.8ms; Read CPU usage: 6.3%; read result: 178MB/s; write access time: 6.8ms; write result time: 171MB/s; Write CPU usage: 3.8%.

Super Talent Ultra drive 126GB SSD : Read access time: 0.1ms; Read CPU usage: 7.3%; read result: 199MB/s; write access time: 0.1ms; write result time: 182MB/s; Write CPU usage: 7.9%. So overall as you see the performance from this solid state drive is awesome. If you have the money and you not that much concerned over lower capacities I defiantly recommend with no doubt getting this ultra drive. I rate it 9/10- Great product. Price: you can buy Ultra drive ssd 128GB for about $299. Damian Gaslawski...signing off

The 4850 video cards are currently available in 3 flavors 4850, 4870 and 4570X2. Today we gonna look at 4850 version. The 4850 has a memory of 512Mb. The HIS video card has a PCI express of 2 compared to older video cards which had 1. This video card is founded on RV of 770 core which has 950 million transistors!

The video card it self is quite large, it has a cooler fan which blows cool air inside the heat sink. Its an excellent design that is used mostly on other HIS video card products. The fan is temperature controlled automatically to achieve the best cooling possible. The only problem with this design is that it occupies 2 expansion slots. If you want to overclock this video card you must remember to have a good air circulation in your tower case. This card has 2 dbi connection and it only requires 1, 6 pin power supply connection. The speed of this card is 625MHz. The pixel filary is 10 Giga pixel per second. Which is quite nice for this video card.

This card has many new technologies I won't talk about all of them but I will mention a few. It has 256bit memory interface, custom filter ant-aliasing, up to 24X custom filter to improve the quality, Unified super scalar shade architecture this is for dynamic load balancing and resource allocation, physics support and more... Over all I recommend this graphics card, if you are in the market for a great video card but you don't want to break a back then this card will be certainly suitable for you; it performs really well, temperatures are reasonable, the fan is quiet, and it just requires 6 pin power connection. I think it is a great product and I rate it 9/10. The price is about $80-120. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.

When core i7 first came out it was obvious that it meant new motherboards, new chip sets, new LGA 366 processor sockets and a load of more technologies came out with the platform.
Intel core i7 clearly is the new revolution of the processors as it comes with new technology of new design of integrated memory with several new features as having 3 channels per socket, having up to 3 DIMMs , Native DDR3, which supports both RDIMM and UDIMM. and also supports single, dual and quad-rank DIMMS. The most significant upgrade to the core i7, I think is the Quick path interconnect which replaces the inside bus which existed in previous generations. This new 20 lane both direction serial link provides communication to intel's IOHub.

Overclocking core i7 has a processor speed of 3.19 GHz and it has a system Bus Frequency of 133MHz. The QPQ Data Rate is 6.4GT/s The overclocking with core i7 is certainly different than with duo core processors when we adjust host clock frequency we also affecting quick path data connecting rate as well as the core clock of the processor and memory speed all with just host frequency clock. As well as that you can also adjust processors multiplier but with core i7 the processor has 4 individual ratios, and you can adjust 1 2 3 or even 4 of them individually isn't that great! You can overclock i7 up to 4.15 GHz!

To buy Intel core i7 I just highly recommend especially if you are a game player, software designer or a computer engineer. I can assure you it will bring more quality to your CPU performance. The processor speed is 3.19GHz and you can buy Core i7 Extreme 965 for approximately will be set at $999, the Core i7 940 at $562, and the Core i7 920 at $284. Overall I think it is the processor of the year and I give it 10/10 it is just a KICK ASS! recommend it to all computer users. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.

While me and my team of ninja monkeys where looking for a new product to review suddenly I have found the new product from Antec A short while ago Antec released the world’s first full open air case. Skeleton is mainly made of steel and plastic. It is intended for reviewers, testers or I guess anyone who swaps hardware a lot; being easily able to install or remove any computer components is truly fantastic.

It contains 92millimeter fan the front and 250mm fan with multi colour led with customisation between high, medium, low speed. At the front there is a fire wire port 2 USB ports, external ATA port as well as headphone and microphone jack. Here 2 quarter inch drives can be installed and at the right is up to 2 HDD can be installed The 92 mm fan snaps right at the components tray so this then provides cooling for the components Installing a hard drive only takes one screw attached at the side of the hard drive, so the hard drive really only has to gently slip into its place an optical disk drive can also be installed in the very similar way. Both side panels have ventilation which can be easily removed. In addition 2 extra HDD can be installed on both of the side panels. At the rear of the case there are 8 expansion slots here I think it should not be plastic but steel again because it is to weak and is not looking “good”.

Also a standard ATX supply can be placed at the front on the special power supply cage. Here you can fit many ATX and standard ATX motherboards, and micro ATX. One of the reasons I just love this case is because the tray with components can just simply slide out which gives a lot of room to work on. This tray also fits video cards up to a length of about 11 inches which is just cool is well. At the bottom there are 4 soft rubber feet that prevent from any vibrations and scratches. One of the other amazing about the 250mm fan is that it is extremely quiet at low, medium and high speed! This Case is of course not for everyone but as a reviewer I think its just amazing and I just adore this case especially if you often swap your hardware it is extremely comfortable although it has a tiny problems and some people might have problem with EMF radiation since it is a fully open cover. Overall I believe it is truly a KICKASS product and it also received a certification from RoHS and AQ3 Overall rating Rating 9/10
Cost: $142.00 - $192.00 You can get it in mini version as well as the standard version.
