"Power supply technology is constantly evolving and I don't think it's too much to expect the current crop of high-end power supplies to maintain 80% efficiency across the board. The Mushkin Enhanced Joule 1000W produced satisfactory results until fully loaded, at which point, the efficiency dipped to 77%. It's not really a problem and in no way affects the ability to reliably power a PC, but it does mean a few extra dollars on the electricity bill at the end of the year."

"All in all, this is a great 2.1 speaker system for $60. If you like lots of bass, the subwoofer with dual 5-inch drivers will leave you satisfied, and the richness of the mids and highs produces quality sound that is great for just about any sort of media playback."

Heading into a summer full of blockbuster titles that seem to all end up as rubbish, Brett takes a look at some of the top games from the past that really bring him back to gaming again and again. What do they have that so many games lack?

In early May 2010, AMD released a new series of processors that fills in some of the gaps in their Athlon-II and Phenom-II Dual, Triple, and Quad-Core Lines. Most of the newly released processors are really just 100MHz clock speed bumps on the old versions. In this article Benchmark Reviews focuses on the newly released AMD Athlon-II X2-260 Regor AM3 ADX260OCK23GQ processor. Based on the Regor core, the Athlon-II X2-260 has a 3.2GHz clock speed, up 100MHz from the Athlon-II X2-255 at 3.1Ghz which was released in January 2010. The Athlon-II X2-260 is at the very low end of the newly released processors and represents a value based market at only $76. Benchmark Reviews is going to directly compare the Athlon-II X2-260 to its predecessor to see just what advantages can be found in the new chip running 100MHz faster.

"If you travel by plane you know it. If you don't, you don't know what you are losing. It you make you laugh or your money back guaranteed. I am not talking about any theme park. I am talking about SkyMall, the magazine available inside airplanes that sells the most bizarre junk ever invented. For the past few years I've been collecting the most unbelievable products sold by this magazine, and I finally decided to post my collection of "The best of SkyMall" (or it would be "The worst of SkyMall?" – you decide!). Since by now I have a huge collection, I decided to break it down in several posts. Enjoy!

Very recently Benchmark Reviews has tested several Solid State Drive products based on the SandForce SF-1222 controller. The specifications for each product were each very similar, if not identical. Throughout all of our benchmark SSD tests the results were also very close, and nothing seemed to stand out until we concentrated in one particular area. The differences were made evident as we experimented with a new benchmark setting for upcoming SSD reviews. Consider these factors when you shop for and compare SandForce-based SSDs, just exactly as it required back when Indilinx firmware updates were changing the landscape

"The GTX 465 from ASUS is a card that delivers good gaming performance up to 1920x1200 with high end settings, but struggles to find that performance for price mark while fitting snugly into the sub $300 market. Overclocking opens up another level of performance that brings the performance for price  factor a bit closer to where it should be. So what's the moral of the GTX465 story? Be sure to overclock it to get your moneys worth."
