Phoenix Pro 120GB Solid State Drive Review @ PCSTATS
"What ASUS has done is take the reference design of the newly released GTS 450 and improved both the cooling capabilities and performance. This is done through increased clock speeds, an aftermarket heatpipe cooling solution and even the ability to raise the core voltage for additional overclocking headroom. All of this should take the ENGTS450 TOP... [PCSTATS]

Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Gaming Keyboard Review @ PCSTATS
"On the other hand, the Z560Â’s best traits are not replicated by competitors. The keyboard and trackpad are outstanding for a consumer laptop at any price point, nevermind $700.

GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD7 @ PCSTATS
"A little history lesson is in order for you young fellas who think of Microsoft has little more than a software juggernaut.

In the 1990s, Microsoft began catering to gamers with ... [PCSTATS]

Gainward GeForce GTX 460 SE 1 GB @ PCSTATS
"AMD Phenom II X4 970 needs just a bit more to equalize the Phenom II X4 and Core i5-700 series in rights. Both product lines offer solutions that currently give you most performance for your money. Of the rest, Phenom II X6 1055T may be the least obvious choice. Subjectively, an unlocked Phenom II X6 1075T seems a better variant. Of course, if you... [PCSTATS]
