Guru of 3D Reviews The OCZ Titan III:
"When I received a press-release from OCZ announcing the Titan III GeForce3 I became a little ecstatic. Copper RAM sinks, Blue ORB cooled, improved RFI filtering and a standard higher clockspeed .."

Overclockers New Zealand Reviews The Iwill KK266+ KT133A Motherboard:
"The layout of KK266+ is extremely similar as KK266. They have same PCI configurations, dram slots, and jumper locations. There are three obvious changes made and they are the colour of the PCB, chipset heatsink, and the ATX power connector location."

CoreSpeed3D Reviews The Plextor 16x10x40A CD-RW:
"One the best features this drive has is the burn proof. For those that don't know what Burn Proof does, it basically lets the laser shutoff and stop writing when the buffer is empty, then when the buffer fills up again it allows the laser to start writing where it left off, thus almost eliminating all possibilities of a buffer under run."

Bjorn3D Reviews The Absolute Multimedia/3DPower's Nemesis Geforce2 MX400 Pro:
"Absolute is marketing their cards in some rather nifty wooden boxes. This is something I haven't seen since the mini electronic kits of my youth! You'll also notice in the pics that the card supports TV-out and it comes with a splitter cable to support both S-video and composite(RCA) cable types."
