- 100 gigabits per second over copper?
- According to Penn State engineers, transmission rates of 100 gigabits per second are possible today over copper. But only on distances of less than 100 meters. And only with high-end Category 7 copper cables. These Ethernet cables are made up of four pairs of twisted wires shielded to reduce crosstalk....

- Vista MMCSS gigabit throttling a victim of hard-coding, jumbo frames to the rescue!
- For the last couple of days I've been working behind the scenes with fellow blogger Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, Ed Bott, and Microsoft to get to the bottom of the Vista gigabit throttling effect.

- TP-LINK TL-WR941ND Wireless N Router
- The TP-Link TL-WR941ND Wireless N Router is a wireless router that supports the Draft N 2.0 specification and not much else. This means no network storage or dual-band support (the router works only in the 2.4GHz frequency), no print-serving capability, and no Gigabit Ethernet. The router doesn't even offer N-mode-only...

- Gateway FX4710 desktop computer
- Gateway's last $1,000-ish desktop came out earlier this year with an aggressive 4GB of RAM and 64-bit Windows Vista. The resulting performance impressed us greatly. Perhaps working under the assumption that more is always better, Gateway's new $1,150 FX4170 comes with 64-bit Vista and 6GB of RAM. Surprisingly, we saw...

- The eMachines T5274 is eMachines' higher-end budget desktop for the back to school season. While it seems like a good deal for $400, the fact is that the low-end PC market has become increasingly competitive this year, which makes it hard for systems such as this one that straddle two...

- D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 - wireless router
- We pitted the D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 against the only other true dual-band router we've reviewed, the Linksys WRT610N. The DIR-855 beat the WRT610N in overall throughput performance, but its design and desktop setup application couldn't compete. Both routers offer about the same range; the WRT610N provides...

- ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35
- The $750 ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35 is a fairly ambitious lower-midrange PC. This fixed configuration includes a lower-end quad-core chip, 4GB of memory, and a discrete graphics card. The result is solid everyday performance, and if you need a basic, capable desktop, this system will serve. Its lack of 64-bit Windows...

- Vox BlackBox (1TB)
- The Vox BlackBox offers 1TB of storage and can be found online from roughly $310 to $340. Aside from its low cost per gigabyte, there's unfortunately little to recommend about this dual-drive Network Attached Storage NAS device. From the desktop application to the Web-based interface, the device is consistently confusing....

This year's model, the $999 Vector Campus Edition, leaves us disappointed because of its uninspired configuration. We still find Velocity Micro's desktop design among the best in the industry, and this system's visual appeal and...

The new look stays much truer to that of a traditional all-in-one, leaving behind last year's clunky hinged design that we admit we kind of liked. The $1,499 TouchSmart PC IQ506 also shares an issue with...
