AMD chipset for Intel tested

Techgage decided to stay in the world of WiFi by testing Asus WL-700gE wireless router. Nothing Earth shattering there, only leaves readers asking themselves what Asus is not making in this industry.

3DGameMan reviewed HP's latest monitor, 19" widescreen LCD. We have to admit that while it is welcome to move from 1280x1024 pixels to better resolutions such as 1440x900 or 1680x1050, 19" wide is just too small for me. I would just save up for a 24-inch Dell one, and if you live in US and think that the 24-incher is expensive (got that comment from a lot of readers), we would welcome you to switch with yours truly in Croatia, where the same monitor costs just a little above $1100. Go figure.

HardOCP tested Asus P5B Premium motherboard, a P965 based Vista-ready product that has only one fatal flaw: Asus likes to put DRM-infection as a AI Lifestyle feature for both Windows XP and Vista.

Jason tested an AMD-based product for Intel processors. You've guessed it right, we are talking about AMD's RD600 chipset in a form of good DFI's LANParty ICFX3200-T2R/G motherboard. AMD is slowing the production and DFI's board is the only one, but at least it supports next-gen CPUs and offers excellent FSB overclocking options...

FastSilicon touched up Kodak Easyshare 5300 multifunctional device. Kodak has some interesting claims about this one, so read up to see does it stack up to the claims or stays in wonderful marketing world.

Phoronix tested Corsair's USB stick, but what makes this review stick out is the fact is capacity. This is smallest USB stick we have seen in ages, with only 256MB of memory being stored on this near-indestructible device. Reason is very simple: the fact that you can put a mini-distro of Linux and retail price just under 10 bucks. In terms of real money, it costs less than a single-station ride in London Underground.

BCCHardware however, decided to test something more capacity-compliant stick, A-Data's Professional PD7 flash drive with 4GB of storage.

HardwareLogic tested Tuniq 3 case, a steel case breaking up the concept of a usual reviews on sites that predominately test aluminium ones. Talking about mice, Gamepyre tested Sandio 3D Gaming O, gaming mouse that features 3D buttons for easier navigation in games. It requires some time to get use to, but if you are seeking for competitive advantage, check it out...

Dark Vision Hardware tested Razer Tarantula keyboard. Given the naming conventions these days, we would not be surprised if a next mouse would be named Black Widow.
