When the PSP was launched the specs stated that it had a 333MHz clock, but many people also noticed it was actually running at 266MHz. The reason for this according to some was that the battery life couldnt cope with the increased clock speed and would die too quick. The latest firmware which will be due out soon is set to remove this restriction so that games can be coded to work at 333MHz. If you are a regular uses of home brew and particularly the GTA games you will have noticed that you could speed up those to run at 333MHz and although it isnt a huge jump, the increased frame rate was noticeable making it run a lot smoother.

April 22, 2007 by Leave a Comment
OCZ are in the business to make things fast. The OCZ 1200MHz PC2-9600 Flex XLC RAM is named as the worlds fastest RAM. Thats quite a claim, but one I believe OCZ can live up to. These memory modules feature a hybrid cooling system which melds passive air and liquid injection to keep these things cool. It sounds like a seriously fancy bit of kit and ideal for those who want to overclock their systems.
The RAM comes in 2GB sizes with a lifetime warranty and sell for around $250.

OCZ Reaper HPC Edition
April 5, 2007 by 2 Comments
Computer systems these days suffer with heat problems and need all sorts of fans, vents and heat sinks to keep them running cool so that the performance is kept at best and the system stays stable. For the type who love to overclock their PC (make it faster then it was designed for) the problem of heat increases. OCZ Technology specialises in reducing heat for processors and memory and has now created the Reaper HPC Edition. This is DDR2 memory PC2-9200 running at 1150Mhz and has a thermo-conductive copper heat pipe that acts as a conduit to help move the heat away from the RAM.
Having heat pipe technology, it quickly rids the heat and allows the memory to run at lower temperatures, thus allowing overclocking. With OCZ specializing in overclocking they allow this type of activity without voiding the warranty.

Tubor Mirror Radiator
December 2, 2006 by Leave a Comment
The Tubor Mirror Radiator does a few things as the title suggests. It’s a mirror, radiator and has a digital clock in there also. It’s stainless steel behind the reflective mirror. To add to it’s sleek look is how thin this thing is. It’s a very slimline peice of kit and well worth it in the modern bathroom. No ideas on the cost but dont expect it to come cheap 🙂
