Hardware Round-Up

The news has been somewhat slow this morning, but we've got a handful of articles from around the web that you may find interesting.  First, please take some time to check out our review of Corsair's brand new modular PSU.  As its name implies, the CMPSU-620HX is a 620 watt PSU.  It's got three dedicated 12v rail, a modular cables system, a quite fan, and it's built like tank. Techspot has a new review posted of Gigabyte's M59SLI-S5 motherboard. Anyone contemplating a move to AMD's Socket AM2 platform will want to check that one out.  Tweaktown attempts to shed some light on Intel's VIIV technology, and Duane from GD Hardware sent a second batch of tough questions (from the Slashdot community) to the folks at BigFoot Networks - the makers of the upcoming "Killer" network card.

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
