AnandTech: USB Flash Drive Roundup – 10/2005. The latest roundup. Last time, the Transcend was the fastest, but now we have 100x drives that are more expensive at $100 but incredibly fast.

AnandTech: OCZ VX Memory + DFI nForce4 = DDR533 at 2-2-2. I finally got the system working. I was getting all kinds of blue screens saying things like “Accessing illegal memory.” The issue is the nVidia Network Manager which everyone on web says that this thing is very unrealiable. I…

Wow, I had almost given up hope on the DFI LanParty nF4, but amazingly, somehow it has come back to life. It must have been the CMOS reset. The recommendation is to take the battery out for a day. I didn’t plug the CMOS jumper in right and then I…
