The 780 is Intel's fastest P-M chip to date, running at 2.26 GHz and utilizing the extremely efficient Dothan core architecture.

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3000 Laser Review @ The TechZone:

"How do you top Logitech's top of the line MX 3100 laser mouse, keyboard comb? Make a lower price version of course. This month Logitech will introduce the Cordless Desktop MX 3000 Laser, which combines a new precision laser mouse with the superior comfort of Logitech's low-profile, Zero Degree Tilt keyboard, at an affordable price. For a suggested retail price of $99.99 (dealers will sell for less), the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3000 Laser provides all the benefits of a cords-free experience without any hassle or traditional keyboard mouse setups."

Sapphire Radeon X550 Review @ Bjorn3D:

"Although Sapphire may be best known for its high-end ATI video card solutions, the company also offers a variety of entry-level ATI-based graphics cards. I actually took a look at Sapphire's X300SE HyperMemory card back in may. Today, it's time to review a card that is a notch up in the entry-level segment -- the Sapphire Radeon X550. While the X300SE HyperMemory costs around $50, the X550 can be found for about $75."
