“We've seen many X58 motherboards since their initial launch, and lately some refreshes with SATA 6G and USB 3.0 coming to the market. But we've never seen a board with a price tag like the Gigabyte GA-X58-UD9.

HP ProBook 6540b laptop @ PCSTATS
WeÂ’ve previously reviewed motherboards based on AMDÂ’s 880 and 890 chips, and now the time has come to take a look at 870, which, as its name suggests, presents us with the weakest variant of AMDÂ’s new generation chip.

Mafia II: Perfection for NVIDIAÂ’s Graphics Plus Technologies? @ PCSTATS
"A good way to express what Bulldozer is can be summed up as “slimmed down, but double wide”. For each traditional core, AMD has instituted a dual ALU design with robust floating point and SSE units. Each core can handle two threads, like SMT, but actually has separate execution units which each process individual threads without sharing exe... [PCSTATS]

GIGABYTE H55N-USB3 Motherboard @ PCSTATS

Enermax Revolution 85+ 1020W @ PCSTATS
Yesterday, we chided AMD for its decision not to reveal more details about Bulldozer and Bobcat, but it turns out we didn't have all the facts.

SilverStone PS05B Mid Tower Black Chassis Review @ PCSTATS
"The two primary issues are comfort and accuracy with this mouse. The lack of general hand support and slightly below-grade tracking quality are noticeable during use. The hyper-speed scroll wheel is a great idea when executed properly, but here, setting the mouse to free spin, does not yield a much higher scrolling capability."... [PCSTATS]

Samsung Flight II SGH- @ PCSTATS
Silverstone set out to provide a case that brings a lot of value for your buck and I think they are mostly on target with the PS05. With tool less features for PCI expansion cards, hard drives and drive bays the PS05 wonÂ’t have you reaching for a screwdriver very often. The black painted interior is a nice touch for anyone that likes to show of... [PCSTATS]
