Hardware Roundup for Dec. 21

Posted on December 21, 2005 10:02 AM by Rob Williams

There’s a ton going on today! Centon is one memory manufacturor that doesn’t seem to get too much attention, but they seem to push out some very worthy modules. InsaneTek is taking a look at some of their DDR2 memory, and the only downside is that it’s only 1GB. Viper Lair is taking a look at the Corsair Voyager 4GB thumb drive, which we also took a look at a few weeks ago. They put it through many benchmarks and some unique tests!

If you are all about high-end, then you may want to check out GamePyres review of the Plextor PX740A burner. It doesn’t have an S-ATA connector like the 716SA, but it’s still a very worthy contender. If you are looking to buy a new laptop, but want to be able to game on it then you will want to check out Bit-Tech’s review of a great setup from Alienware, which comes with a 6800 Go!
