ReviewsWindows Vista Ultimate

ReviewsWindows Live OneCare
Reviewed on February 26, 2007 Windows Live OneCare doesn't provide as many unique features and often repackages tools already available for free within the Windows operating system. For $30 more, it's well worth investing in the solutions from McAfee or Symantec, and we give the final nod to Norton 360 which ensures the best protection and performance tools for your money. -
ReviewsEVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS (PCI-e, 256MB)
Reviewed on April 17, 2007 If you care more about HD movie watching than gaming and you need a new video card for the task today, we recommend a 3D card like this EVGA with Nvidia's newest mainstream graphics chip. Gamers can get more performance value from Nvidia's higher-end 8800 cards, but for anyone, it would be a good idea to wait to see what's new from ATI in just a few short weeks. -
ReviewsEasyBloom Plant Sensor
Reviewed on November 21, 2008 The EasyBloom system helpfully measures how environmental conditions affect your plants, but its database could provide more advice beyond houseplants. -
