Just got word from Tweaknews.net that they've 3 new reviews out, so let's get started:
Samsung SyncMaster 153B 15 Inch Black LCD Monitor Review: For a budget monitor, the 153B is no slouch in the feature or performance department. With a release price supposedly going to be in the US$250-$325 range depending on the retailer and availability. Add in the fact that it includes speakers and can be adjusted for longer document viewing and you would have the recipe for a smart, cost effective LCD purchase.
Crucial GIZMO(tm) 128Meg USB Flash Drive Review: The drive performs well and problem free, and could be touted as one of the smallest USB drives around. But on the other hand, the price is almost twice as some other manufacturers drives with the same capacity. This is a major down point seeing that you will be paying for the name on the side and not for the product.
LiUtilities SpeedUpMyPC Optimization Software Review: Although the program is designed for Windows 98, 2000, and XP; I feel it is most effective with windows 98, as 98 is more prone to loose memory here and there and crash quite a bit. Speed Up My PC does a fine job of freeing up system resources and bandwidth. With the aid of this program I was able to knock over 10 seconds off of my startup time, which was quite nice. Another interesting use to note is the programs ability to help in the detection of spyware. It is these features that make this one of the best pieces of optimization software on the market today.
