"The X6 1100T is a really good processor for the price. The
Turbo Core clock increase allows it to accelerate lightly threaded
applications as compared to older dual/triple/quad cores. Having 6
full cores helps tremendously in heavily threaded applications which
can leverage the power of those 6 cores. We are at the point where
processor performance for even single threaded applications is not
holding users back to any significant degree, so nearly any CPU will
be good for desktop applications and internet browsing. Once we get
into heavy gaming, transcoding, graphics work, and rendering do we see
the need for high end processors."

.Skill Falcon II 128GB SSD review |

Today we test a product from G.Skill. Their newly released SSD is called the Falcon II which is a follow up of the original Falcon Solid State Disk series. But make no mistake, it still comes with Indilinx controller, 64MB cache memory and packs a read speed of 220 MB/sec and a write speed of 150MB sec -- which makes the word 'slower' a bit of a paradox. The SSD comes with firmware revision 1819 which has full support for the TRIM-command in Windows 7. A
nd by using that 34nm Micron NAND memory G.Skill should be able to lower the price on their Falcon product series a little as well.
