Bjorn3D looks at Crucial PC3200 memory "Even though 640k was said to be enough for everyone a couple of years ago the need for more memory increases with each version of Windows or each new hot Doom/Quake/Unreal game.We´ve gotten hold of a 1 GB Kit (2x512 MB DIMMS) from Crucial. With no heatsinks it might not be as cool looking as memory from competitors but on the other hand it is cheaper. Is it worth saving a few bucks going with the Crucial? Read our review to find out what we thought." Read more at Bjorn3D.
July 13: the day when Xeon prices drop Intel, according to The Inquirer, plans to cut prices for its Xeon processors on July 13.Intel distributors already know of these changes which should affect the channel rebate scheme. Prices are to drop due to the announcement of 3.06A Xeon processor with 533MHz FSB on July 13. According to the source, this CPU featuring 1Mb cache will cost about $690. It will push 3.06GHz Xeon down to $455. Intel Pentium 4 3.0C 800FSB Processor Review @ Tweaknews.net 
"It´s fast, it´s stable and it is terribly expensive. With a price point that is more than twice the cost of the 2.4C, you really have to do a price to speed comparison to see if the extra US$150+ dollars is really worth the 600Mhz increase. If the retail version of 3.0C overclocks in the same manner as it´s slower siblings, reaching the 3.7-4.0Ghz range should not be a problem."

HWZ review: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB (SATA) "All in all, the Barracuda 7200.7 SATA is a big improvement over the Barracuda SATA V. We may be disappointed with the earlier 2MB version, but our fears were unfounded simply because the buffer size was severely hampering its performance. The Barracuda 7200.7 is definitely one of the faster SATA drives around and would make an ideal RAID setup. However, its transfer rates did not help it to gain much ground over its competitors and we certainly hope their next model would address that. Still, if you want a drive with good write performance, there´s none other than the Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA."Read more at HardwareZone.
Toshiba Satellite P25-S507: a new mobile workstation announced  Toshiba Computer Systems Group (CSG) announced its Satellite P25-S507 notebook with 17" display (1440x900).
Based on 2.8GHz Pentium 4 (800MHz FSB), it has 512Mb RAM (up to 2Gb), 60Gb HDD, 32Mb NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200, modem, 10/100 Ethernet controller, IEEE802.11a/b, SD slot, DVD-R/RW drive. Interfaces include 4 x USB2.0 ports, 1 x IEEE1394 port, RGB-out, LPT-out. Sized 417x292x45.7mm, it weighs about 4.5kg. Battery provides 2-hour operation. Considering notebook features, I guess it belongs to the same class, as Eurocom’s D800P Dream Machine, i.e. it’s a mobile workstation.
