   <title>Ponzi was an amateur, Madoff is the pro</title>
   <description><![CDATA[If you drop by The Tech Talk forum you will bump into a bit of discussion about AMD and what they are doing in the near future, such as a sneak peek at an MSI board that seems to have a Lucid Hydra chip on it, something which makes Ryan's news post even more interesting.

   <title>The most Extreme of the ASUS Maximus family</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The ASUS Maximus III Extreme is one of those rare birds that utilizes the nForce 200 chipset to handle the PCI Express; the main chipset is an Intel P55.  This allows full 16x speeds on dual graphics card setup and even allows dual 16x and single 8x if you are looking to build a PC with three graphics cards, any more than that and the slots revert ...]]></description>

   <title>Hackintoshing your way to imperfection</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The Tech Report has been playing with a system based around a Gigabyte X38–DQ6 and an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 CPU and have two main targets in mind.  The first is to make the PC as cost effective as possible and the second is a little more ambitious, to install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. 
They do have a guide on what to do to the BIOS and success...]]></description>

   <title>Kingston's SSD take 2; action!</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Kingston has released the second generation of their larger capacity SSDs, the V+ SNVP325-S2 128GB SSD which uses the rare Toshiba T6UG1XBG controller, a controller we are not very familiar with.  Kingston claims sequential reads of 230MB/s and writes of 180MB/s, which PureOverclock put to the test in their review.  As their results show, this driv...]]></description>

   <title>Worried about how to keep future CPUs cool?  You should be.</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Heat is of course the number one unwanted byproduct of semi-conductors and getting rid of it is becoming harder and harder.  You can see the effects of this on the industry, as they try to create CPUs that require less power to do more calculations but we have already passed the point when strapping a kilogram of copper to a CPU is not unusual.  Ex...]]></description>

   <title>ASUS Radeon HD 5870 ROG MATRIX Edition Spied</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Some interesting pictures found their way to me of an upcoming graphics card from ASUS, the Radeon HD 5870 ROG MATRIX Edition (Republic of Gamers).  This card appears to offer quite a bit more in the way of overclocking than nearly any other GPU we have seen to date.



  

The design on the PCB and cooler is completely custom and offers supe...]]></description>

   <title>Blew all your money on a CPU and need a sub-$40 cooler?</title>
   <description><![CDATA[[H]ard|OCP compares the cooling prowess of 4 heatsinks that will cost you less than $40.  Some, like the SCYTHE Shuriken Rev.B
just are not up to the task of cooling a Core i7 while others like the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 emulated the performance of the stock cooler.  The Cooler Master N520performed very well and still costs less than ...]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[With the Core i7 980X Intel has not only shipping out the first 6 core/12 thread CPU, it has also delivered one of the biggest stock heatsinks to date.  That size will enable you to actually get a decent overclock without resorting to a third party cooler; though if you already have one for your current i7 system it will certainly be compatible and...]]></description>

   <title>Low power, low latency DIMMs from G.Skill</title>

G.Skill's new DDR-1600 ECO Kit 4 GB might not offer the fastest frequency on the market, what it does offer are low timings of 7-8-7-24 and a voltage of 1.35V to keep the heat down.  That isn't even as far as it will go on those stock settings as techPowerUp! hit 1715 MHz without touching the voltage and bumping the voltage up to 1.5V let them h...]]></description>

   <title>Adding more cores leads to bandwidth envy</title>

With the new CPU's coming from both companies and the fact that they will have several dozen cores or threads, that 4Gb/s connection will be split up so many ways that it will no longer be fast enough to feed those CPUs.  We will be se...]]></description>
