Memory maestro OCZ is just going from strength to strength at the moment. Not only is the company consistently producing excellent products, but those products are very fairly priced, undercutting high-end competitors by a hefty margin

The Trifecta is the latest gadget from OCZ, and is a variation on the Dual SD card, insofar as it's an SD card with its own USB connector head. The device stores the actual data on a Micro-SD card that slots into the side of the Trifecta

Deployed as part of the new Centrino Duo and Pro platforms, Turbo Memory is implemented as either a 512MB or 1GB option alongside whatever SATA drive is installed. The caching scheme is actually intelligent enough to learn your usage habits

Weighing in at just 175g, the FHD-2 Pro is also impressively slimline, measuring 127 x 79 x 15mm. Attractively finished in aluminium casework, the only protuberance is an illuminated button towards the rear

The Cruzer Titanium has clearly been built with toughness in mind. How tough? Well it's able to withstand almost a ton bearing down on it - if that's not tough enough for you, we're not sure what is

USB Flash drives are commonplace, so it takes a distinctive approach to stand out. With a sleek metal case and retractable USB connector, the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium (£25 Inc. VAT) is one of the most distinctive drives we've seen

Apparently all of Super Talent's overclockers' memory in this range is tested at 1,000MHz as standard, with nice tight latencies of 4-5-4-12 on a setup very similar to our rig's

The shiny, colour-changing heatsink is just one reason to like OCZ's Titanium Alpha. The second is a lifetime guarantee for the sticks run at 4-4-4-15 at 1,000MHz - only Corsair's Dominator can challenge these sticks for high speeds and low latencies

How embarrassing. We looked at the sub-£100, 1GB Spec Ops kit from OCZ as an experiment in how essential 2GB of RAM really is. We really didn't think it would do too well against its 2GB rivals

At first glance it might look a bit like OCZ's new range of performance memory has been inspired by Corsair's Dominator, but if you were to pry apart those big metal fins, you'd find a very different story inside

While Corsair got the first press release out announcing DDR2 RAM clocked at 1,200MHz, Kingston was the first to actually put sticks on the shelves, and we couldn't wait to get our hands on it

We ran into an odd problem with this high-clocking memory set - for some reason, even at stock speeds, the motherboard wouldn't reboot. We're giving it the benefit of the doubt, though, since it's a very new motherboard

Flashy lights may not be to everyone's taste, but we really like the high-end Tracer RAM from Crucial. Not only does it bathe the motherboard in a cool blue glow, but there are red and green LEDs on the top switch to indicate activity

Hurrah for Crucial! Two gigabytes of good solid 800MHz memory at a price-busting £214. We like the sound of that.Still, we remember the days when system RAM was much cheaper, so performance had better be up to scratch

Much has been written about Corsair's Dominator memory. These chips have been handtested to the lowest latencies and highest voltages of our group. The casing design draws heat from the centre of the PCB as well as the surface of the chips themselves

We weren't expecting great things from this pair of sticks from CellShock. It's not a major brand we come across every day, and the heatspreader packaging is decidedly unexciting. Plain, black and bulky are the three nicest words we could use

Genuinely useful and pretty damn innovative. Very rarely are such words thrown around, but OCZ's Dual SD cards are just that. It's a standard sized card, the sort that fits snugly into most cameras out there, but has no need of a card reader

Before you set out to develop your mad overclocking skillz, ask yourself what it is you're trying to achieve. Do you intend to make an older PC fast enough to keep up with the Oblivion-playing-Joneses, or are you a performance junkie?

Yes, put down your pen, Angry of Norfolk, we know this costs 15 nicker more than our pocket money price limit, but we're prepared to bend the rules if the kit is smart enough.

Fitting 8GB in a memory stick smaller than your finger is truly impressive. Internal hard drives of this size were a luxury less than 10 years ago, and here's the same capacity - running far faster - in a tiny package.

We've been wholeheartedly impressed by the rise of VoIP, and products such as the Babblestick do nothing to shake our faith.

You have to pay through the filtrum for the highest performing components - 'twas ever thus - but how far are you willing to go?

Memory is always changing, and it's usually led by processormanufacturers. DDR, for example, is now a dead-end technology. Thisyear's new chipsets for both AMD and Intel's platforms have seen tothat by switching to higher bandwidth DDR2 memory
