Last month we shone a spotlight on Intel with a history of the company's most notable processors. This month it's AMD's turn, as we summarize the last 25 years of AMD's CPUs.

We've seen a lot of Intel CPUs, but a few are real stand-outs. We pick 15 of the most memorable in anticipation of Nehalem, expected to be Intel's next big landmark.

Intel's new mainstream chipset introduces support for PCI Express 2.0 and an ICH10 southbridge. But the added value compared to its predecessor, P35, turns out to be small.

What brings better results, purchasing a faster graphics card or investing your cash in a more powerful processor?

Who overclocks? Why should anyone consider it? Before looking at the finer details of the technique, we first consider the benefits and risks with respect to a few main components.

Now you can get rid of the USB 2.0 backup bottleneck. Addonics' CardBus adapter offers your laptop fast-and-easy eSATA storage for two or more external hard drives..

In part 1 and 2 we did our graphics homework, but how does graphics technology affect real-life performance? We analyze the impact of different hardware configurations.

After comparing the latest SATA II RAID cards, we wanted to know whether PCI Express can actually outperform PCI-X. We used HighPoint's RocketRAID 2220 and 2320 models to help us find out.
