Corsair Dual Channel DDR:

There are a couple Corsair Dual Channel DDR memory reviews out there today, the Crucible looks at XMS3500C2 and the fellas at Tech Dreams check out some XMS3200. Here is a quote from the Tech Dreams review:

Memory is arguably the most important component to actually spend the money on to get the high quality stuff. Top companies like Corsair and Kingston have always stayed in good competition and have fueled the memory market, even in bad times. Dual channel DDR is now the latest and greatest in high-speed memory technology and with that speed comes the necessity to pay even closer attention to what you are buying for your system.

DFI LanParty NF2 Ultra Motherboard:

The ModFathers have the DFI LanParty NF2 Ultra on deck. This is the nForce2 version of the board, and it comes with a bunch of extras like a case sling too.

It is clear that the nForce 2 chipset really is as good as it is sold as. I have got to admit that I am very very impressed. The motherboard however, has to be the star of the show, and on this occasion it does shine. Though not cheap, it does come with so many extra's that in reality it is not an expensive option.
