I. Feature Story

Building a Small Form Factor Around Intel's 915G Chipset
Aopen's new XC Cube EX915 joins a growing number of small
form factor PCs built around Intel's new 915G chipset. We
take this little baby out for a spin and see if it can handle
the curves.

II. How To
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Take Your Favorite Shows on the Go
Has Archos trumped Microsoft yet again with a fully
functional video recorder you can put in your shirt pocket?

III. Buying the Right Components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Low-Latency Ram: Is it Worth It?
Memory manufacturers continue to sell faster and faster RAM,
often touting lower latency as a major selling point. Does
this more expensive RAM actually improve system performance?

IV. Discussing DIY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Price or Reputation: Which Matters More?
A poster is trying to decide on a graphics card. Should price
be the main concern, or is there one card maker than rises
above the crowd. Log into the discussion and weigh into the
debate yourself.
