Review of KIN Two

kintwo11 thumb Geek With Laptop Weekly Roundup 28.05.10A couple weeks ago I took a look at the Kin One from Verizon Wireless, today I have the Kin Two which is sort of the same phone, but just a lot bigger.

Review of Kingston HyperX LoVo 4GB 1866MHz DDR3 Ram Kit

lovo8 thumb Geek With Laptop Weekly Roundup 28.05.10Up on the review block today I’ve got the new HyperX DDR3 ram from Kingston called LoVo. The LoVo names mean low voltage, or lower than we’re already accustomed to for those of us using the Corei5/Corei7 setups. This ram will run at 1866Mhz but it will do this running at only 1.25v, but it’s timings are  a bit looser than other kits of the same speed. In my testing though I put the LoVo kit up against another ‘regular’ kit of HyperX that runs tighter timings and found that even though the timings of the LoVo kit were looser the performance was virtually the same.

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AMD-890FX Motherboard @ Benchmark Reviews

In April of 2010, AMD introduced the final parts of their “Leo” platform: new iterations of their 45nm processor family and the supporting 8-series chipset. Unlike Intel, which seems to delight in spawning new CPU socket architectures, AMD continues to support the AM3 socket, so upgrades are easier and cheaper. The 8-series chipsets along with the SB850 south bridge brings some new capabilities over the previous “Dragon” 7-series chipsets, and as you might expect, ASUS is ready with a new enthusiast-level offering, the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula motherboard.
