AMD's initial Phenom II product release was a very positive one, and demonstrated that the redesigned, 45nm version of the Phenom quad core could be successful against the Core 2 Duo and Quad, while offering superb value and overclocking. The foray into the world of Socket AM3 brings a few more changes, such as a lower-cache X4 model and a hotrod X3 Black Edition that is just itching to be overclocked. 02/09/2009
The Logitech G15 keyboard is a popular choice for the gaming crowd, and is a worthwhile upgrade from the older model and the lower-end G11. In this review, we're not only taking the G15 out for a new test drive, but also installing it with a 2009 driver set. Check out our review to see how it stacked up in terms of features, design and usability. 02/06/2009

There are two methods of achieving an ultra high-end gaming system: do it yourself or buy one pre-configured. Alienware looks to meld these into one process, allowing users to select the various components, and then receive a custom-built system tailored to their specific needs. The Area-51 offers a lot of potential customizations, and at the top-end, a ton of performance as well. 01/26/2009
Intel has shifted to the Core i7 + X58 as their top-end platform of choice, but the Core 2 Duo/Quad market still has a lot of life in it. The Intel X48 is currently one of the top performance bases for a DDR3-equipped, Core 2 performance system, and we're checking out the Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 motherboard to see how it compares in terms of features and performance. 01/16/2009
