With this latest release, ATI is doubling back to fill some gaps in its wildly successful Radeon HD5xxx series of video cards. The previous release, the HD5450, was the logical terminus of their GPU bisecting act. In fact, they got a little carried away, and lopped off almost all the Stream Processors, in order to reduce the power requirements down to the lowest possible level. This time, the goal was to create the best performing low-profile HTPC card they could. The HD5570 is the first in a series of HD55xx video cards, and for now, it will probably be the top card in the group. Loaded up with the Redwood GPU from the HD5670, 1 GB of GDDR3 memory, and an all copper active GPU cooler, the HD5570 looks to be the King of the low-profile world, without the attendant King's ransom. Follow along with Benchmark Reviews as we see how it stacks up against its siblings.
"Everyone knows that you need to keep your computer cool at all times to get the most out of it. The most important of all is keeping the CPU coolest--especially if you overclocked it. You also want to keep the noise level to the minimum--nobody wants an airplane to take off when you turn the computer on."
Noctua NF-S12B FLX Cooling Fan Review @ BayReviews.comToday we are taking a look at a HTPC aimed videocard from ATI. We got a sample of their brand new 5450 card that is a low profile card which should be able to play heavy HD material and also have the Eyeinfinity feature. So lets get started and have a closer look at how this can perform.
ATI 5450 512MB Videocard @ RbmodsIf you're a mobile warrior, you may find yourself suddenly developing a case of RAM-envy. After all, 6GB, once considered an obscene amount of memory, is fast becoming typical thanks to Intel's Core i7 platform (the socket 1366 variety), and it's not unusual to see 12GB. Heck, some companies have even begun releasing 24GB kits. This begs the question, does your laptop's 4GB cut it anymore? We asked Crucial if they'd send us their 8GB DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM memory kit so we could answer this very question, and since they obliged, so will we.
Mobile Mayhem - Do You Need 8GB in Your Laptop? @ HardwareLogicTax documents, company memos and even personal files are just some of the things that you might not want others to be able to see. With those security needs in mind, Kingston has created the DataTraveler Locker+, and ASE Labs has the 16GB model up for review.

Having released many motherboard in the past Jetway takes on a new challenge in Intel's X58 chipset. For review here we have Jetway Kuroshio BI-600, sometimes known as JBI-600-LF.

The motherboard also has a good set of peripheral interfaces. You should also note the surprisingly rich set of overclocking options which actually work, letting you overclock CPUs to levels unusual for motherboards of this class."

"Thermaltake has a real gem in the Lanbox chassis. The design and styling elements join to produce a small, portable case that not only performs very well, but also is relatively easy to work in, given the space limitations. And, it looks as good as it performs. Its sleek, classy look garnered a lot of attention around here, and it's easy to see why. The all aluminum construction keeps the Lanbox light while the modular design keeps it strong."
All DVD-burners are the same, right? So what makes one better than the next. It's rare these days to hear about an optical drive, with all the other components that are getting faster, greener, and cheaper. Today, Benchmark Reviews is taking a look at ASUS's most recent addition to the optical drive market, the ASUS DRW-24B1ST 24x DVD+/-RW. Many of us may have recently been contemplating an upgrade to our old drives. After a few years of wear and tear, optical drives can give out. Also, with recent upgrades in motherboards, you might find yourself without an IDE channel, necessitating the purchase of a newer SATA model drive. Benchmark Reviews will test the ASUS DRW-24B1ST against other optical drives with USB, IDE, and SATA connectors to find out just exactly what ASUS has in store with it's newest DVD-Burner.

"Thermaltake recently sent me the 301 Wing RS midi-tower case, which is at the budget end of the market, for review. Today I will be reviewing the Thermaltake Element V gaming full tower case. This case is far more up the high-end scale compared to the 301 Wing RS, and as such will demand a premium in price."
iStarUSA is one of the companies that came to its senses and decided to offer an eSATA function to their hard drive docking station the xAGE-N99-SAU/US. So the only question that remains is just how close did they get their controller to the motherboard speeds? Read on and find out.
"The Sapphire HD5570 has to be taken in context to truly see how and where this product fits in ATI's current lineup of DirectX 11 videocards. The HD5570 is targeted towards the user that wants a small form factor card to insert into a small workstation or HTPC, but doesn't want to settle for the very basic performance of the HD5450."
Today we are unboxing the HIS Radeon HD 5450 1GB graphics card. This graphics card is aimed mostly at HTPC users with a passive cooling solution and the ability for Eyefinity with its VGA, DVI and Display Port connections. By offering a lot for the money, it’s going to be a big hit all around
