ASRock aren't often considered as one of the top motherboard manufacturers around but at KitGuru, we think their products are somewhat underrated.  We recently looked at their P55 Extreme4 Motherboard which walked away with our most prestigious ‘Must Have' award. Today we are going to look at the 890GX Extreme4 …

Many people don't have enough room for a full-size PC and crave more performance than you can squeeze from a reasonably-priced laptop.  For these people, a mini-ITX system is very appropriate, compromising a few features for a much more compact system. Today we are going to look at the Intel …

Fast is all a matter of degrees. Roll the clock back 10 years and Intel was happy to supply you with a 1GHz processor. These days, 1GHz is reserved for phones and cheap netbooks. Given that real/raw performance relates more to clock speed and cores than anything else, what if …
