The Dynamic Duo: Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and 7000 Review
Microsoft has released two very similar wireless mice, although these are different enough to warrant a closer look.

AMD Hits a Triple with the Phenom X3
The Phenom X3 triple-core processor is looking to fill the gap between dual and quad-core models, and AMD is hoping that its "three cores for the price of two" sales pitch comes off as well.

And the Graphics Card Hits Just Keep on Comin'
Lately it seems like ATI and NVIDIA are releasing a new generation of video cards faster than we can keep up, with accelerated obsolescence - and lower prices - of last-generation models being the most obvious result. This atmosphere has also helped create a water-cooled, triple-GPU "concept card" and driven demand for ever-faster GDDR memory.
Is the X48 King? ASUS P5E3 Premium/WiFi-AP @n Edition Motherboard Review

AMD has finally released their Phenom "50-series", squashing that nasty TLB bug with a new and improved B3 core revision.
