Server for Al Gore tested and reviewed

LEGION HARDWARE TOOK some time to do a detailed testing of how different amounts of video memory affect your computer's performance. Their target was DDR2, in all sorts and sizes.

BCChardware stayed in the world of DDR2 memory, with a review of Patriot DDR2-800 and DDR2-1066 memory kits. The winner of the test is a surprising one…

BIOS Magazine tested Fujitsu Siemens Primergy TX120, one of most energy efficient servers in the world.

If you think they will improve your gaming or computer usage, take the plunge. Personally, I have experienced improvement with RatPadz XT, fUnc 1030 and now with Revoltec Game Precision Advanced.
