FireStix ...is that a great name for overclocker's ram or what? In mid 2004 Buffalo Technology released the first FireStix branded RAM and since that time Buffalo has managed to keep pace with the ever increasing demand for performance memory. FireStix is designed to not only meet the needs of the latest motherboards and processors, but to exceed it. FireStix gives overclockers the means to tweak out every iota of CPU performance without sacrificing memory performance. Today we look at the FireStix PC28000CL5 2GB kit. While this isn't the absolute fastest ram produced by Buffalo, it is the fastest 2-gig matched kit available.

The performance and the ICs on the pair of modules that I received certainly don't portray the budget end of the enthusiast segment and the results back that up. Both the AM2 and Intel platform clocked really well with these modules and neither gave me a headache to achieve those clocks.

As obvious as it may seem, RAM is quite an essential component in every day computing. Besides the primary purpose of exchanging and temporarily storing data, performance is the second consideration besides quantity. Of course, price is another important contributing factor -- if you are into speed and overclocking, you are more likely to pay more for better memory. For others, running at stock speeds is sufficient most of the time -- so why not consider lower priced value RAM kits? On the other hand, if you are reading this review, I could almost assume that a lot of us have more or less a good passion for computers and technology. Otherwise known as 'enthusiasts', let's give the Buffalo Firestix a try and see how these enthusiast grade memory will suit enthusiast demands.

Throughout the extensive overclocking and testing of these modules, I could not come up with anything to complain about. They look great, they perform as they should, and they have plenty of overclocking headroom for the enthusiasts out there. Again, without a retail price anywhere it is hard to give a very concrete judgment but something tells me that these modules should be a part of anyone's buying decision if you're in the market for a 1GB memory kit. I can hardly wait to get my hands on a 2GB kit of some hot FireStix.

The ability to store large amounts of data on an ultra portable device is something that anyone could find useful. As technology improves, memory becomes smaller and faster, providing the user access to quickly store large files. The Buffalo RUF2-S Series 4 GB flash drive does just that. With 4 GB of storage space, the Buffalo flash drive can hold a plethora of data with some room to spare. Also, this flash drive is among one of the fastest drives we have tested at ThinkComputers.

The main differences between the two LinkStation families are in the storage department with maximum capacity going through the roof as the top of the range model employs the very latest 750GB SATA hard disks. There are no changes for connectivity as the unit also sports Gigabit Ethernet plus a pair of USB 2.0 ports but has a faster 400MHz Marvel Orion Media Vault processor ? the older LinkStations use a 200MHz variety.

Buffalo Technology's 2GB PC2-8000 FireStix FSX1000D2C-K2G memory has a default clock speed of 1000 MHz (DDR2-1000) at CL 5-5-5-15, which when running in a dual channel configuration can provide up to 8GB/s worth of bandwidth. The interesting back story on these Firestix modules PCSTATS is about to benchmark for you is that the Buffalo engineers veered away from the standard JEDEC design, and relied instead on the talents of Kazuyoshi Tsukada to develop the PCB trace layout. Kazuyoshi-san has been recognized by JEDEC for PCB design, and now heads the Melco Inc. PCB design team...

At the foundation of the Home Server you have all the features you'd expect to see from Buffalo's Gigabit LinkStation appliances, enabling you to provide shared network storage, add USB storage devices and share a USB printer over the network as well. However, the only real difference is that the Home Server runs the full media server software whereas the Gigabit LinkStation can only stream to Buffalo's LinkTheater products. The model on review comes with a decent 300GB hard disk and pair of USB 2.0 ports plus Gigabit Ethernet. Usefully, the appliance incorporates an internal power supply so you don't have to worry about bulky transformers...

Buffalo probably isn't the first name that springs to mind when you think of DVD players, but the Link Theater is more than just a DVD player. Following in the footsteps of KiSS, Buffalo has created a DVD player that can playback multiple video formats on multiple storage mediums. Gone are the days when consumers just needed MPEG2 DVD playback in their living room, now MPEG4 is as much a prerequisite as retail DVDs...

Despite its diminutive stature the G54 AP delivers a strong range of features. It supports both 802.11b and g clients, comes with an integral four-port Fast Ethernet switch and uses a standard SPI firewall ugmented
with basic intrusion detection capabilities. The only drawback is that it doesn't include an integrated ADSL modem although the Ethernet WAN port does make it ideal for both ADSL and cable users who already have a modem...

The jewel in Buffalo's crown is undoubtedly its AOSS technology which we found takes the pain out of setting up securely encrypted wireless links. MIMO performance and extended range are also very impressive although general router features and design aren't as good as Netgear's WPN824...

There's a lot here to commend Buffalo for as the TeraStation offers a big serving of networked storage at a price highly suited to small businesses on a tight budget. Access controls are more limited than the higher end NAS appliances and disk removal is a real pain but for the price the TeraStation is offering a very tempting proposal. Considering the capacity, ease of use and killer price point, the TeraStation walks away with an Editor's Choice award.
