   <title>It's what everyone is talking about</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Certainly there have been quite a few SSD reviews over the past few months, but as the technology is quickly maturing, it is worth keeping a very close eye on.  As they improve, the read and write speeds keep climbing, leaving platter based storage in the dust.

   <description><![CDATA[GTA IV has arrived for the PC, allowing all those PC users who haven't picked up a console to see what all the fuss is about.

   <title>Think of it as a compact castle</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The SilverStone Fortress FT01 Mid-Tower Case is a Temjin on a serious reducing diet.  No longer supporting eATX boards, suddenly the wide open spaces that the TJ series has in most builds are gone, with just the right amount of space for even a high end system.  It does have a lot of air cooling, with 180mm fans being used and can support external ...]]></description>

   <title>Was there something wrong with the Atom?</title>
   <description><![CDATA[There will be a new Eee Box from ASUS available, using a Celeron 220 CPU as opposed to an Atom CPU.  The main drive behind this seems to be increasing sales by knocking $50 off the price of the Eee Box.  That may not sound like a huge deal, unless you are trying to put together a system on the cheap, in which case the difference between $240 and $2...]]></description>

It might take a few more clicks than the Valve Hardware Survey to complete, but not many.

   <title>Memory comes in six packs now</title>
   <description><![CDATA[DDR3 has had two big effects on the PC market; the first is famliar, higher timings compared to the latest generation of DDR2.  The second has only become apparent with the advent of the Core i7 and X58 chipset, triple channel memory.  Guru3D takes the OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Gold Low-Voltage Triple Channel kit for a spin, at one point hitting 1800 MHz....]]></description>

   <title>The return of the battle of the servers</title>
   <description><![CDATA[In the one corner you have Intel's new Xeon lineup, and in the other corner you have AMD's Opteron refresh.  Neither of these parts will make a big impact on home computing, but anyone running a server will be more than a little interested. The L3 cache and new memory subsytem are the stars here, with the decreased energy consumption getting second...]]></description>

   <title>We have a runner up</title>
   <description><![CDATA[If you can't afford Intel's fancy new SLC X25-M SSD, Patriot's 128G Warp MLC SSD may be a nice substitution.  The use of multi level cells does mean your write speed will suffer compared to an SLC drive, but from Beyond3D's testing, this Patriot drive tends to beat out G.Skill's SSD as well as the WD Raptor.  Maybe this is the gift for you?
