Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-RZ46G
The Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-RZ46G delivers TV images free from the snow and other artifacts we've seen in the past. Its picture was also sharper than images from other models, which tend to look a bit soft when shown full-screen. And while it still isn't digital-cable crisp, this is the first Media Center PC you won't have to make excuses for when you flip on The Simple Life. Most of the rest of the system is top-notch, too. It includes a 3.2-GHz CPU married to 1GB of RAM, a 200GB hard drive, and a dual-format DVD burner, as well as a separate CD-RW drive. But hard-core gamers will find they can get better 3-D performance than the midrange nVidia GeForce FX 5600 card delivers, and the three-piece speaker set isn't the last word in sound.

R420 to support DDR, DDR II and GDDR 3
ATI's team headed by Dave Orton team has no intention of slowing down after its successful coup with the R300. You will be run over if you stop for even a second in the graphics business and even R420 is still not totally cast in stone. Someone at ATI is thinking of the next speed update of this chip that should come roughly six months after. ATI is acting far sightedly. It will have support for all memory marchitectures in R420 as the chip will support DDR1 and that could mean cheaper cards, it will support DDR 2 that will be the memory of choice for this chip and then there's GDDR3 memory, which could be used in future speed upgrades of the R4x0 family. We understand that the initial R420 will use DDR 2 memory which is finally stable and available, and can deliver over 1000MHz.

Logitech diNovo Review
Logitech has the MSRP of the diNovo at a whopping $249.99, far out of the reach of most of us mere mortals. But just like buying a Ferrari or Bentley, you definitely get a masterful piece of equipment when you shell out this kind of cash.

Alienware Aurora Extreme review
GeekNews has reviewed Alienware Aurora Extreme ($3600): "This system is no doubt the best I've ever had a chance to own or even see. Performance is amazing and 3D gaming is just for hardcore gamers that will enjoy the full feel of a game. The components are all quality but like we mentioned before it doesn't come cheap. Alienware has a great reputation of their systems but the tech support just isnt worth the call."
