We have more info about the upcoming LGA1156 socket Lynnfield processors from Intel with a preview of Core i5 performance. With all the hype surrounding the P55 chipset and Core i5 CPUs, you'd almost thin that Intel's previous X58 platform was dead but that certainly isn't the case as our roundup includes a review of Gigabyte's EX58-Extreme motherboard. There's lots going on in the storage arena with a pair of external hard drive enclosures as well as a guide on upgrading your notebook drive to a solid state drive; there's even a review of the Kingston SSDNow kit intended for just such a purpose.
