Reviewed on November 2, 2008Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement, Intel's new Core i7 desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable complementary hardware comes out later next year.

Reviewed on April 14, 2010We like the looks of Asus' Eee Box EB1501, but it's pricier than Blu-ray players that stream content from the Web, and not as powerful as slightly more expensive slim tower PCs that offer significantly more speed and power. Asus made a decent attempt at the Nettop-as-set-top-box replacement with this system, but it's crowded out by too many alternatives.TAGS:ASUS, 1080p, online video, Apple QuickTime, YouTube, NVidia, chipset, Nvidia GeForce, 3D, Apple iTunes, video, Apple Computer

Reviewed on July 17, 2007The quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 keeps the desktop CPU performance belt tied firmly around Intel's waist at a price that helps offset the lack of sizable performance gains. New products at the end of the year may outclass this new chip when they arrive, but for now, the QX6850 reigns supreme.TAGS:Intel Core 2 Extreme, quad-core, clock speed, bus, Intel, Intel Core 2 Duo, multimedia, motherboard, AMD, CPU, chipset
