Being that I have not had any experience with OvisLink routers, I
was not too sure what to make of this review I found on their 54Mbps
Wireless 4-port ADSL Modem Router. As I glided through the review, I
was pleasantly surprised by both the features as well as the
performance. All and all, this might be a product that is worth
looking into when it comes time to replace an existing unit.... [Continued]

What sort of weirdo notebook PC does not come with a DVD/CD drive
built in? Well, apparently the Toshiba Protege M200 meets this
requirement from what I am hearing. Now I must ask, does Toshiba
figure that by offering an attachable dongle cord for an external,
this will make it 'all better'? Speaking for myself, I do not think
so. If I am going to drop the cold cash on a new notebook, I expect...

Man, talk about your CPU coverage! Today, Tom's Hardware gives us
what could in fact be the mother of all CPU reference resources.
Dating back to the now ancient processors of 1978, Tom's gives us a
run through what we need to know about processors over the years. I
have to be honest here, I figured this was going to be another 'run of
the mill' article. After reading about 3 minutes into it, I... [Continued]
