• Geil PC3200 Dual Channel DDR kit Review @ Big Bruin

  Published: Thursday, June 19, 2003 | By: Dennis

  "Due to limitations with my cpu, or perhaps my overclocking skills, the maximum (stable) forntside bus achieved was 180 MHZ. Not a bad increase over the default 133 MHz, but not nearly high enough to thoroughly test the PC3200 DDR while synchonized with the frontside bus."
  I'm currently quite biased in my memory choices making Corsair my memory provider of choice. I can however be "swayed" away provided that the replacement is better.
  
  Any takers??

• FrontX Multimedia Review @ Ohls-Place

  Published: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 | By: Dennis

  "Finally a simple, compact and attractive solution to the never ending reaching to the rear of the computer to attach one accessory after the other. Sometimes it amazes me how the simplest designs can work the best, and this is proof positive of that. My only question about this product, is why did it take so long for someone to come up with this ingenious idea. BRAVO FrontX you did good!"
  This little product comes with each and every DFI LanParty motherboard. Check out the LanParty KT400A Review if you don't believe me.

• Crossover WS-5 Mission II Water Cooling Kit review @ PimpRig

  Published: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 | By: Dennis

  "This kit is pretty swanky. The main drawback I see are the feet of the pump. There needs to be a more secure method to mount this pump. The Crossover WS-5 Mission II Kit installs like a dream, performs like a champ, and is a friend to my wallet."
  This is easily one of the smallest watercooling kits around and it seems to hold its own against a high quality air cooler. We are still trying to get one of these kits in house but have yet to hear back from the company.
