As was mentioned in our gobble last week, we began this week with our review of SilverStone's new Strider ST56F 560W power supply unit. As we had mentioned at pyroCPU earlier this month, ASRock is presently targeting ATI CrossFire users with its ASRock 775XFire-eSATA2. With our review of the 775XFire-eSATA2, we had found it to overclock quite poorly, however, it did have a reasonable level of performance inside of Fedora Core 4. Our next hardware article for the week was our preview of the ASUS EAX1300PRO 256MB, or rather Extreme AX1300PRO. In that piece, we covered some general information in regards to the ATI X1000 Radeon series, along with the board layout for the X1300PRO part. Finally, we topped off the article with an ETA for Linux Radeon X1k support by their proprietary drivers. Our information was attained from ATI's Matthew Tippett. Yesterday, we had presented a write-up of the Corsair Secure Digital 133x while earlier this morning we ended the week on a high note with the world premiere review of the Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Series (Plus). The VF1 Plus had performed truly exceptional and went away with the Phoronix Editor's Choice Award. If your after a universal ATI Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce GPU cooler, the Sytrin KuFormula VF1 review is definitely worth reading. This week was quite gloomy with no MAJOR Linux distribution releases, except for yet another BETA of OpenSuSE 10.1 OSS. However, the second BETA of the upcoming GAIM 2.0 had been released to its SourceForge mirrors. Our coverage of GAIM v2.0.0 BETA 2 can be found here. Look forward to yet another exciting week of Linux hardware articles.
