My review today is of a dual processor motherboard the ACorp 6A815EPD. It's an older type using Pentium 3 Processors rather than Xeon or AMD MP technology.

Along about the middle of last year Thermalright introduced the SLK-800 heatsink for socket 370/462 motherboards. The result was a resounding success.

I can understand the assumption that there wasn't anything interesting to write about. I just don't believe it. Read More...

Today I am reviewing the Maxtor Personal Storage 3000LE External USB 2.0 Hard drive. If you need some external, portable type storage this is just one of the solutions. The model I chose is a 40 GB unit it's also available in a 120 GB configuration. It is more expensive than an internal hard drive, but that's not the reason for choosing this product. For portable transfer of large files, it can't be beat. Read More...
