Intel P35 boards start to break cover

REAL WORLD TECH came up with an interesting article written by an anonymous person, or as David came up with Euronymous. This article speaks about implementation of vertical stacking of transistors, a three dimensional way of thinking when it comes to designing microprocessors of tomorrow. This highly-technical article is not your light-Monday reading, but we would advise you to go ahead and read it - after all, this is something that will become reality sooner than most people think.

OCWorkBench begun its multi-part review of DDR2-based Bearlake (P35) motherboard. GigaByte's own P35-DQ6 comes with some very interesting overclocking options, like theoretically running FSB at 700 MHz QDR (2.8 GHz). All in all, one very interesting product. On the other hand, TechReport reviewed GigaByte's nForce 680i based board, dubbed N680SLI-DQ6.

Second P35 board to enter the world of previews and reviews is one that you can already buy, ASUS's own P5K3. Even though next week will reveal ATi's next-generation products, TweakPC came out with a review of one Sapphire's interesting engineering concept - two RV570 chips joined together to create one monster board. TweakPC dug up to see is this product a diamond in rough or not.

Once again, CoolIT made the news with a dual review over at Virtual-Hideout. PCI Cooling Booster and RAM Fan proved to be quite interesting products, and we have to admit that we have found an interesting use for RAM Fan product, which will be revealed in our own take.

HardwareLogic tested Silverstone's Decathlon DA750, a modular power supply with only two 6-pin PEG (PCI Express Graphics) adapters, so only a single 8800GTX/HD2900XT or two 8600/8800GTS can be supported at the same time.

To answer the alleged needs of gamers for kiloWatt power supplies, X-bit Labs gathered several 1kW declated PSUs and put them through extensive testing to find what PSU would be ideal for computers of today and tomorrow.

Bit-Tech decided to take a look at who can defeat mighty Logitech in world of peripherials. Razer Pro|Type and Enermay Crystal keyboards were compared, and the conclusion was interesting.

TheTechLounge reviewed iPod Shuffle 2GB. With a price of $79, it proves to be quite an interesting product, especially in the field of navigation. From one side, yours truly have to admit that I barely ever use a display on my own MP3 player, but then again, not having it at all might be a limiting factor.

But if you're not satisfied with headphones that come with this device or just about many of the earphones out there, you might think of an aftermarket upgrade - while Jay's headphones titled D-Jays cost almost as two iPod Shuffles, J-Jays are earphones for people on a budget. Then again, they still cost almost like a single Shuffle, but this is the difference between mainstream and quality.
