The Best Mods of 2005:

We may be pushing February, but the hits of 2005 just keep coming. Check out the best gaming mods of 2005. If you enjoy PC games, and are looking for a fresh update, this one is for you.

The problem with Something of the Year Awards is that everyone’s taste is different and there are over 3,000 mods competing to be in the top 30. One person may like blinding paced gameplay, with gibs and glory decided every second while others like slow and strategic team play. You can't please everyone and we don't intend to - hence we let *you* the community vote for your top mods and we throw in a few of our favorites along the way.

Corsair 2048 MB XMS 3500 LL Pro Series:

As I said yesterday, if you need some new ram, why not buy the best? Check out this review of another alternative from the fine folks at Corsair.

Corsair is one of the premier memory producers in the world. Their products are easily accepted as some of the highest quality memory on the market and the Pro Series modules brought LED activity indicators to Random Access Memory. With the overclockability of the AMD64 line of processors this product would be the perfect fit for the gamer looking to squeeze a little bit more performance from their machine by pushing the front side bus from 200 to around 218 Mhz. This moderate overclock, while not exactly in line with the hardcore overclockers pushing 800 - 1000 Mhz on the AMD64 platform, would fit the needs of the tweaker / gamer perfectly.
