Hardware Roundup for Mar. 17

Posted on March 17, 2006 10:42 AM by Rob Williams

The CNPS9500 LED has easily proven to be a superb choice for your current CPU, but now Zalman has released an AT version which is strictly for your Intel 775. Pro-Clocker’s and R&B both take a look at this new cooler today. When compared to the LED it doesn’t have a real advantage, but will still prove worth the cash. If you are not fond of the 9500 styling, [are you nuts?], then maybe the TT Golden Orb II would better suit you. Think Computers takes a look at that great cooler, and despite installation hassles it proves to be a solid performer.

Xtreme Computing is taking a look at my personal favorite in the memory department, the Corsair 2GB PT4000. They got a very stable DDR540 overclock out of them, and with luck you can bring them even further. Have any doubts about throwing down some cash for an X-Fi sound card? Read today’s review of the Fata1ty version at Tech Report, and you’ll know by the end of the article whether the cards for you. Have a great weekend everyone!
