USB flash drives are a dime a dozen these days, right? Well, they are a little more expensive than that, but how cool is it that you can get 1GB of storage capacity that's smaller than a pack of gum for like $20-30? Pretty soon you'll see these great little gadgets in vending machines for a dollar, especially considering that everybody and their mama sells them. When there are so many different offerings from so many companies for the same basic product, you could just buy the first one you come across. That path will fail to earn you any geek cred, though, so we recommend doing a little research and decide what you want in a flash drive (biggest capacity, best security, smallest dimensions,...

Kingston has been known throughout the industry as a steady-hand, a reliable partner, a company which is stable and never really pushed the bar in terms of enthusiast memory modules. If you wanted a solid, name-brand memory module which would be almost guaranteed to work, Kingston was one of the few brands which one should look for. They were respected in many markets, but until a few years ago, they weren't a name you would think of if you were looking to push the envelope in terms of overclocking. Over the last year in particular, Kingston has been particularly aggressive in promoting their new HyperX line of memory modules, designed to directly target overclockers. Kingston has kept their...

No question about it, Flash Memory devices have taken on the Consumer Tech industry by storm. Flash memory is utilized in so many different applications these days, from Cell Phones and PDAs, to MP3 players and Digital Cameras, that it's hard to imagine a world before the Flash memory was invented. However, thanks to some very smart minds at Toshiba all the way back in 1984 and then Intel in 1988, we all have the ability to store information on the fly in a number of hand-held applications and more. Like any other technology, Flash Memory, specifically NAND Flash which is the type used predominantly in consumer electronics, has been improving exponentially in terms of density...

When we last took a look at some DDR2 memory back in October of 2004, the technology was still a bit new and didn't seem to offer any tangible performance benefits over standard DDR RAM. Higher speeds could be obtained with DDR2 though, and these modules required less voltage, thus lowering overall power consumption. The caveat with DDR2, however, was that early sets were much higher priced per MB than older DDR memory, and latencies were generally much higher, which kept performance on par if not slightly off the existing model. The Intel camp was left without any options, as the 925 series of chipsets...

With the launch of their 900 series chipsets, and LGA775 based Pentium 4 processors, Intel introduced the use of DDR2 system memory on the desktop. DDR1 system memory had been the standard for quite a few years, and DDR2 memory had been used on the occasional video card at that point, but DDR2 system memory had yet to be implemented in a consumer level desktop computer. DDR1 and DDR2 memory are fundamentally very similar. In essence, DDR2 memory is simply a refinement of the original, however, there are some differences that set them apart. For example, DDR2 memory requires much less voltage...

Good morning all welcome back to HH. Yours truly is one of the lucky few which have the pleasure of suffering from seasonal migraines. Though I like the summer, there is a whole different reason why I hate it to go ;) Nevertheless, with my sleep patterns all screwy for the next little while, I couldn't think of a better way to help my brain relax then to read over some reviews.

Good morning brothers and sisters, welcome back to HotHardware. On my way home last night I stopped by the local computer shop to pick up a few accessories, and well, some stuff I really didn't need. Upon leaving the store I saw a really good sale on Logitech's Z-5300 5.1 THX cert'd speaker system. Needless to say, I convinced myself that I really "needed" them for my gaming rig. Considering I have them for a little less than 24 hrs, I have to say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. Anyhow, I know you are itching for some juice, so llet's get to the real reason you showed up... Kingston Launches HyperX DDR2 Memory Modules Fountain Valley, CA (August 23,...
