AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & FX-55 @ Hardocp

“Without a doubt, the Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX series of processors are the best that AMD has ever built. In most ways, the Athlon 64 family of CPU is simply as good or better than the current generation of Pentium 4 processors. My only pet peeve with the Athlon 64 is the lacking ability to easily and smoothly multitask like the Pentium 4 with HyperThreading can.”

OCZ PC4000EL Gold Edition review @ OCModShop

“In this review, OCModShop is testing OCZ’s Gold Edition PC4000EL DDR Dual channel kit. This 1GB of total memory consists of two 512MB modules and is specifically paired to use a dual channel motherboard. The OCZ PC4000EL DDR is rated to run at 250MHz while maintaing fast timings of 2.5-4-4-7 at 2.8V. Unofficially, this memory can easily run at 265MHz. The DIMMs are absolutely beautiful and have a quality look. The copper heat spreaders are gold plated and buffed to a mirror finish with a light golden color. Not only does this help protect the module from physical damage, but it looks really shiny, and we all like shiny things! The spreaders also add to the product’s weight, weighing in at 74 grams (a normal DIMM weighs an average of 40g).”
