Hardware Roundup for Jan. 10

Today is the day that we finally see the release of the new top end Dual Core CPU from AMD. If you want to take a break from reading all of those reviews today, then here are some great ones to focus your attention on. If you think that Corsair only makes memory, then you must check out the COOL water cooling review at Overclockers Online today. They concluded that it was a great kit, especially for the price.

If you need some decent DDR2 memory, you should check out Phoronix look at the OCZ PC2-4200 1GB kit. They managed to run stable overclocked to DDR2-736MHz.. not shabby at all. I’m currently running a similar set, and it seems rock stable so far, so I can’t wait to take them for a nice overclocking run. If you are interested in seeing how the X1900 should perform in 3D Mark 05, then check out Hexus. If you have $1,100 just lying around, CrossFired X1900’s may be the way to go!
