ARCTIC Squad has a review of four VGA coolers. Zalman, thermaltake, Arctic cooling are represented. Should you be looking forward to try some serious video overclocking, these accessories would sure come handy.

Ryszard from L'Hexus overclocks the FX55 to FX59, reaching nearly 3GHz, using the Vapochill XE-II. He will soon be trying to overclock the newer FX57 to FX63 speeds or more. He also explores some interesting options AMD has on the socket 939 platform. We are so pleased Rich is being paid more money, maintenant.

BIOS magazine brings to us the US Robotics 802.11g Wireless Turbo Access Point which uses some form of proprietary technology from Texas Instruments to increase standard performance up to 125Mb/s theoretically. Unfortunately, it works with US Robotics products only.

On the other side of the Atlantic in Canada, Techtastic pays tribute to the Icemat Sibaria Multi Headset which are geared towards the gaming community and includes a microphone. Icemat is a well-known manufacturer of gaming stuff and the Siberia includes many details that may appeal to that community.

The latest Dell laptop come for some hours to Tomshardware Labs. The XPS Gen2 is equipped with the newer Intel Dothan 2.13GHz and armed with 1GB of DDR2-533 memory. More interestingly. It has a Geforce Go 6800 Ultra graphics chip onboard. Now SLI on notebooks can't be that far, can it?

Memory modules from Mushkin are on test at Techniz. The popular Dual Pack DDR550/PC4400 have a tight CAS timing and should help any overclocker achieve quite some performance.

Power supply units might not be as popular and trendy as graphic cards or CPU but their importance cannot be denied. Extreme MHz has the Logisys pre modded 500w Meshed power supply. They have also reviewed the Plextor PX-716A which is the company's top of the range product. But this time, Plextor stuff did not live up to its expectation.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
