Belkin TuneSync for iPod review

Reviews This automatically regulates bandwidth usage for each of the five USB ports, preventing one device from hogging it all, providing the USB connection on your computer is USB version 2.0 (most are these days).

Shuttle XPC P2 3700G review

Reviews Like a dual-core CPU, it uses two graphics processors, has 48 pixel pipelines, 16 vertex shaders and a monstrous memory bandwidth of 76.8GB per second. It's not all about grunt, though -- the card is also HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content...

D-Link MediaLounge DSM-320 review

Reviews Because the DSM-320 utilises the 802.11g standard (as opposed to lower-bandwidth 802.11b), the bandwidth is adequate for playing most of the video files that might be kicking around your PC's hard drive.

Asus EN6700GT review

Reviews It's easy to dismiss the EN7600GT as a dull mid-range graphics card, but it stands out as the first we've seen that has an HDMI port with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection). It has 12 pixel shader pipelines, five vertex shaders and a...

Hauppauge XFones PC-2400 review

Reviews That said, it has certainly produced a fast transmission, bandwidth-wise, anyway. Thanks to its decent bandwidth, it also means there's no additional audio compression happening between PC and headphones, and pumping some lossless audio into the...

Reviews Infrared (IR) ports are built-in on most mainstream handhelds and are useful for short-range (less than 10m), low-bandwidth data transfers. You will need a clear line of sight for the two devices to communicate with each other, as with TV remote...

Apple Time Capsule review

Reviews The other -- the year-and-a-half-old Asus WL-700gE router -- offers neither the same high-speed wireless bandwidth nor as much storage capacity as the Time Capsule, which comes in 500GB (for £199) and 1TB for (£329) varieties.

ZyXEL DMA-1000 review

Reviews You see, most wireless networks don't have the bandwidth to steam HD content, so people end up using a wired network or HomePlug mains networking anyway. If you want to be able to use your TV to view the photos and videos stored on your PC's hard...
