GTX260 Review

Well everyone, its about time for De-frag, and my yearly bit of upgrading is here. Ive been running on an 8800GT for about a year now, and I've gotten the itch for something else.  I was nosing around on the egg, and it seems that the GTX260's have come down to the under $200 mark. For me, this is the magic price point. I do not like spending more than $200 on a video card, hell, 200 itself is a bit hard to take. Im a cheap bastard what can I say.

 

I know what I can say, I can tell you all about it, and see if you want to upgrade or not! On with the review!

SSD Review

So, I managed to get my hands on a SSD drive, and I ran it through its paces. And like everything else I abuse, I thought everyone would like to know what I found out about the unit.

The unit in question is a super talent ultra drive. You can find the exact model here:

To make it as fair as possible, I used the same laptop, and just swapped drives between it. I had the same programs open during testing every time I did this as well.

I used HDTACH, The Dummy file creator from NOD32, and a defrag utility that I found with the option to fragment files. In both cases, These were fresh OTB drives, with a brand new image blasted on them.
We are using Vista 32 (SP2) to test with.

Phenom 2 Review

Welcome to the new _AND_ improved de-frag site. I think I have all of the bugs worked out, so this is the first post with any real meat in it. Enjoy!

 

 

Now, if you listened to last months fragcast, you will know that I recently dropped a P2 in my machine upgrading from a X4200. In my mind, it wasn't all that old, but it was showing its age in certain games, and especially in video editing. I held off, knowing that the P2's were coming. I waited, hoping that my M2nSLI Deluxe would support the chip. After spending some time in the forums, I was unsure.

 

The first report of the P2 trickled in that it worked in the M2N, so I pulled the trigger on a new 940 BE. Cost of admission was $225. Which was iffy at first, but after spending some time with the chip, I think its a hell of a deal. While I was at it, I grabbed another 2 Gigs of faster ram; to bring me up to an even 4Gigs. Even though winders will only see 3.2Gigs of it :P
