AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core Processor

Do you listen to music, chat with friends online, surf the web, stream online videos while backing up a few DVDs to your hard drive all at the same time? And does this peg your CPU at a 100% while decreasing responsiveness of your computer? If you answered "Yes" to any of those questions than chances are you can benefit from having a dual core processor(CPU).

At this point you might be wondering what dual core is. To put in simple terms it is combining two processors into one. In other words you get the benefits of having two processor while having it all packaged nicely into a single unit. And two processors are better than one!

And without further ado I would like to welcome AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+. This is an entry level dual core processor that offers the best performance per price ratio; this is by far the best bang for your buck! It should be noted that unless you are one of the early adopters or just have lots of cash to play around with there is really no reason to get one of the more expensive models since they don't offer much more performance yet tend to carry a hefty price tag. The good news is that even this entry level offering lets you rip all the benefits of new technology at an attractive price point!

In case you were wondering, this CPU is at the top of my wish list. In fact, I'll be getting one this summer, but of course there is no reason why you can't own one of those today.

Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers CD released

Red Hot Chili Peppers recently released yet another awesome album - Stadium Arcadium. This one is actually a 2 disc set and includes recent radio hit "Dani California" that has been playing on the radio for quite some time now. This is of course a must-have for any RHCP fan, but if you are just trying to get into this kind of music this is the right album to do just that. If you are not sure whether you like this type of music you can always listen to individual tracks on Amazon, which of course is FREE, and see how it goes. Enjoy!

Another great release from Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Creative Labs Gigaworks S750 7.1 Speaker System


Looking for the best damn computer speakers out there? Look no further! These are Creative's biggest and baddest flagship speakers to-date!

Pumping an impressive 700 Watts through 7 satellite speakers (70 Watts each) and a 210 Watt subwoofer these will not only satisfy the most avid movie watchers, but is a must for any serious gamer. Of course all this power is useless unless you can deliver it in a precise manner and this system offers an impressive frequency response range of 25Hz - 40,000Hz. Note that this is actually a wider range than offered by Klipsch ProMedia speakers, which are arguably some of the best sounding computer speakers out there (I speak from experience here since I actually own Klipsch ProMedia 4.1). For owners of 5.1 or 6.1 capable sound cards there is no need to worry since the CMSS will upmix the signal to a full 7.1 surround. This system can greatly benefit gamers and the included wireless remote will come in handy when watching movies or listening to music.

I have these speakers on my wish list and will get my hands on them as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Of course if you are on the market looking for a set of great speakers you can pick these up and start enjoying them today. Highly recommend!

The Fast RF interface provides unparalleled cordless performance, which is on par with USB corded connections.

Note that MX-1000 will hold charge for about 2 weeks under heavy use and just to make sure you aren't caught by surprise there is a very cool battery level indicator located right on top of the mouse. This mouse sports some handy buttons as wells that should appeal to the masses. The thumb button offers a universal forward/back controls as well as application switch to quickly move between open windows.

There is also a very handy cruise control button located immediately around the scroll wheel. A tap on the cruise control allows you to quickly scroll through long pages. The SetPoint software that comes with this mouse is intuitive and easy to use and allows user to assign alternative tasks to select buttons.

Overall this mouse gets the job done, is very comfortable in hand and looks great. Highly recommend!
