   Sony VAIO PCV-RS220 review @ Designtechnica "When there are so many desktop options in the $999 market, it is hard to recommend the Sony VAIO PCV-RS220 system as the one to go with. With no video expansion possibilities and very little in the way of expansion ports and bays, the PCV-RS220 should be priced lower than what it currently is. Once you add a monitor to the system, the overall price will raise significantly. A quick search on the internet or your local electronics store will reveal better alternatives from the likes of DELL and Gateway, complete with monitor and more expansion for the same price. There is no doubt that the PCV-RS220 system will be a hot seller with Sony’s nameplate on the front of the system, and if you absolutely must have a Sony, pay a little more and get a RZ series system."Read more at Designtechnica.

Albatron Gigi FX5600P Turbo @ TechConnect "Overclocking was again a nice surprise from Albatron. We were able to raise the core and memory clocks up to 350MHz, respectively 730MHz. We might have had better results with the core clock, but our sample featured the old chip packaging. By overclocking the card, a performance gain up to 12% was achieved or even 20% in UT2003 benchmark." Read more at TechConnect.

Early in the morning VIA Technologies officially announced its VIA VT8237 Southbridge for Intel, AMD and VIA motherboards. And as its specs have already been known for a long time, such a late official announcement is surprising (it might be dated to volume shipments). Nevertheless, let’s revise main features of VT8237 again:

HWZ review: IBM ThinkPad T40 (Centrino) "The IBM ThinkPad T40 comes across as one of those rare notebooks that perfectly epitomized Intel´s vision for their Centrino Mobile Technology — it´s slim, comes with a pretty good battery life, exhibited some really good performance results in our test, and of course its got an Intel 802.11b wireless card to complete that Centrino puzzle."Read more at HardwareZone.
