Patriot offers world’s fastest DDR 3 RAM with Viper II Sector 5 2500MHz kit

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

RAM doesn’t mean much to the masses as long as the computer has enough to run iTunes and Farmville at the same time. When it comes to gamers and enthusiasts though, the RAM in their machines is just as important as the CPU. Back in February Patriot unveiled a new enthusiast memory product called the Viper II Sector 5 kit. Read The Full Story

Quirky Switch modular Swiss Army knife debuts

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

Things were very different when I was a kid compared to today. If I left my 5-year-old home all day while I went to work, I would go to jail. That was common when I was a kid. Schools were also more relaxed back then. I once took my Swiss Army knife to school for show and tell in first grade. The teacher made me leave it in her desk during recess, but no one called the cops. Read The Full Story

BlackBerry 9670 clamshell leaks again; will be Verizon exclusive

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

Yesterday's BlackBerry Pearl 3G and Bold 9650 announcements were interesting, but not half as curious as the company's upcoming clamshell, the BlackBerry 9670.  Spotted in the wild again - alongside the BlackBerry Atlas 8980 - by CrackBerry forum member B.I.G.G.I.E., there's also confirmation that the smartphone is running BlackBerry OS 6.0.

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

As well as Denon's pair of new "universal" Blu-ray players, the company also has a double-handful of A/V receivers to announce too.  The Denon AVR-991, AVR-891, AVR-791, AVR-591 and the AVR-391 are all "home theater" models and will begin to show up on shelves from May 2010, while there are two new 7.1-channel premium models, the AVR-1911 and AVR-1611, and three "CI-class" receivers for custom integrators, the AVR-4311CI, AVR-3311CI and AVR-2311CI.  All get HDMI v1.4a Repeater Inputs with 3D (supporting all mandated formats), an Audio Return Channel and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) support, while some pack multi-room audio and HD audio from Dolby and DTS.

Denon DBP-2011UDCI and 166UD universal Blu-ray players debut

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

Denon have outed their latest range of Blu-ray players, complete with 3D "readiness", which slot into the company's "universal" range.  That means the DBP-2011UDCI and DBP-1611UD won't just play Blu-ray and DVD discs, but CD, DVD-Audio and SACD as well.  In fact, Denon reckon the pair can handle "virtually all 5-inch silver discs", which seems like an invitation to a lawsuit to us.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T review roundup

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

So AMD's new hexacore CPU range is official, it's cheap (comparatively speaking), but is it any good?  For that we turn to the bevy of launch-day reviews, and if you're the sort of person who sneaks a look at the last page of a book because they simply have to know the outcome, here it is: for the money, the Phenom II X6 1090T processor is threatening to give Intel's similarly priced chips something of a spanking.  More after the cut.

Toshiba NB305-10F and HP Mini 210 get Atom N455 update

, Apr 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

Intel's new Atom N455 and N475 processors - which add support for DDR3 memory - may be imminently close to launch, but they're not quite official yet; we're guessing that's why Toshiba Japan promptly yanked the product page for the new NB305-10F netbook.  Pretty much the same machine as we've seen before (and reviewed back in its earlier N270 days), the only real difference with the NB305-10F is it gets an Atom N455 with 1GB of DDR3 RAM.
