Logitech introduced a distinctly new cordless mouse-and-keyboard combination - based on Bluetooth wireless technology - that's bound to change how the most discriminating PC enthusiasts will view a keyboard and mouse; for work, for play and for communicating. What is at first most apparent with the new Logitech® diNovo? Media Desktop? is its enviable design, which appeals to people who prefer a workspace with sleek, stylish peripherals that complement today's attractive flat-panel displays. Logitech has taken the redesign a step further, however, by detaching the number pad from the keyboard, so the new cordless solution includes four components: a reduced-width keyboard; an MX?900 rechargeable, optical mouse; a new multifunction MediaPad? for today's digital lifestyle; and a recharging module that serves as a Bluetooth hub. The new MediaPad serves as a number pad, a smart calculator and a Bluetooth remote commander. And the Bluetooth hub provides a wireless bridge between the desktop PC and Bluetooth devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, printers and headsets.

AnandTech's review of Gigabyte's K8NNXP-940 suggests that AMD's Athlon FX-51 processor has an unlocked multiplier ripe for overclocking. As far as I've seen, the K8NNXP is the first mainboard to offer users multiplier control without a special BIOS, which is good news for enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the Athlon FX-51's $750 street price is still far from good news, unless you're comparing the chip to a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition.
