Hardware Roundup for Dec. 9

Posted on December 9, 2005 10:54 AM by Rob Williams

For being a Friday, it doesn’t seem to be overly busy around the web. As always though, there are some great reviews available today. If you need a 1GB kit, then head over to Extensive Mods today. They are taking a look at some Mushkin DDR400 modules which are not overly fast, but would be great for a modest rig. For some faster modules that envy overclocking, TweakNews is reviewing the Corsair PC4000 Platinum 2GB. They offer a lot of bandwidth and speed, no doubt.

PC Stats is evaluating the Gigabyte dual 6600GT card, despite it’s G8GT name which would lead you to believe that it’s a dual 6800GT. It’s a solid card, but why buy an oddball card like this when you can pay a little bit more for a 7800GT? Speaking of oddball, if you enjoy using the not so usual Linux distros, you may want to check out the pictorial that Phoronix has released today of the newest Helix release. It’s security based and looks to offer all the basics plus some cool extras.
