They've got enthusiast-class motherboard design down to a formula, and they're executing quickly on that formula, oftentimes delivering boards based on new chipsets weeks before the competition.

The latest bit of core logic to get the Asus treatment is ATI's CrossFire Xpress 3200, a brand-new north bridge that allows Radeon cards to ride in dual PCI Express x16 slots, each with a full complement of 16 lanes of PCI-E connectivity. The goal, of course, is to accelerate the working of a pair of Radeon cards in a CrossFire configuration, bringing even more performance to an already potent dual-GPU setup.

The CrossFire Xpress 3200 is the second wave of ATI's bid to win over PC enthusiasts to its chipsets. ATI's first attempt, the Radeon Xpress 200, saw limited success, but established some strong credentials as a decent performer and an excellent overclocker. If the CrossFire Xpress 3200 can continue that tradition and round off some of its predecessor's rough edges, ATI could have a definite winner on its hands.

So, the questions are: has Asus done it again with the A8R32-MVP Deluxe? Can the CrossFire Xpress 3200's additional PCI Express lanes make the fastest dual-graphics setup in the world—a pair of Radeon X1900 cards—even faster? How well does this mobo stand up against its arch-rival from Asus, the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, based on NVIDIA's nForce4 SLI X16 chipset? Let's have a look.

Mounting clips will allow users to install a 92mm or 80mm fan on either side of the unit if they desire, but we found a single fan more than sufficient for the task at hand. The 38 nickel-plated aluminum cooling fins are connected by four copper heat pipes to a copper base plate that pushes the overall weight to 570grams.``xEEuEFAlZFFMITBrUcI``x1141405933``x(default)``xhttp://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1924``x Chaintech MK8T890 (VIA K8T890) @ Hardwarezone``xMike``xThe Chaintech MK8T890 is a low-end motherboard with basic features, but does it have the performance to overcome its spartan feature set?

The Noctua NH-U12 heatsink comes with all the necessary mounting hardware, but no fans are included. Mounting clips will allow users to install a 120mm fan on either side of the unit if they desire, but we found a single 120mm fan more than sufficient for the job. The 38 nickel-plated aluminum cooling fins are connected by four copper heat pipes to a copper base plate that pushes the overall weight to around 700grams.``xEEuEFpyEEyYipfZkeU``x1141313316``x(default)``xhttp://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1923``x ATX Power Supply Units Roundup: 9 Powerful Models Tested @ XBit Labs``xMike``xWe are going to introduce to you 9 power supply units in our detailed roundup today.

As we will see shortly in the synthetic thermal test results, the heatpipes play an important role. Really though, the most notable benefit of the Coolermaster Hyper48 heatsink is its quietness. The low noise output is due to a specialized Delta fan which has side vents and a conservative impeller speed.

In the years that followed, the company rode the bleeding edge, integrating the latest sockets and chipsets into its evolving breadbox-sized chassis. Shuttle has slowed the pace recently, though, becoming more of system integrator than a barebones chassis provider. The breadbox remains, but Shuttle would seemingly prefer to sell complete systems to mainstream consumers than barebones units to PC enthusiasts. That's left a gaping void in the small form factor world, and we've yet to see the competition really step up to fill it.

Fortunately, Shuttle hasn't completely forgotten about do-it-yourself PC builders. In fact, the company has just launched a new addition to its small form factor barebones lineup. The XPC SN21G5 packs NVIDIA's GeForce 6100 integrated graphics chipset, a carefully massaged ICE cooler, and room for a GeForce 7800 GTX into Shuttle's proven G5 chassis.

Can the diminutive SN21G5 keep up with the latest full-sized ATX motherboards? Perhaps more importantly, how does it compare with Shuttle's last cube with integrated graphics for the Athlon 64? Keep reading to find out.

Games are starting to make their way into the living room and the family home theater, as many PC games and consoles feature Dolby Digital and other sound positioning technologies. Many games and DVD movies feature Low Frequency Effects (the low rumble you hear in an IMAX movie) to complete the "theater at home" experience, but mostly go unheard in the average home theater and gaming setup. Home theater and gaming enthusiasts will both be pleased with this great new product from The Guitammer Company Inc: The ButtKicker Gamer. It ties inline with your sound system to finally allow you to "feel" the bass with similar technology used in professional movie theaters, and aims to make the PC gaming and multimedia experience that much better.

The ButtKicker is a small, linear motor, which reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier. It is similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of moving a cone, and transferring sound waves through the air, it attaches to seats and floors, and sends low frequency sound directly into the listener's body. The effect is amazing.

Most of those boards have been budget and OEM offerings that put affordability before features and performance, so it's no surprise that they haven't caught on among enthusiasts. That may be about to change, though. ECS isn't content to just be known for its budget fare, and the company has launched a new line of "Extreme" motherboards targeting gamers, overclockers, and enthusiasts.

The latest of ECS's Extreme offerings is the KA1 MVP, a Socket 939 motherboard that combines ATI's Radeon Xpress 200 CrossFire Edition chipset with PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet and Serial ATA RAID. That looks like a decent spec on paper; however, we enthusiasts are a picky lot, and we demand more than just an "Extreme" moniker and checkbox features.

No matter how feel about a Palm-based mobile PC, the prospect of Microsoft, Palm, and Verizon all teaming up to put out this product is a big deal. There has never been any doubt of the impact which the Treo 700w will have on the mobile communications industry.

Though the Treo line has been doing well using Palm's operating system, the fact that most of the business world is using Microsoft means that the release of a Windows-based smartphone gives Palm access to a much larger part of the corporate market than ever before.

Occassionally someone will see fit it discuss a mouse pad or sound equipment, but every user knows the computing experience does not end there. Other products can have a great impact on how we work and play on our computers, like the right desk and lighting, but no peripheral has a greater impact than seating. Though you may be sitting in front of computer with a dual core processor, dual video cards, any number of hard drives, a 24" LCD monitor, an ergonomic keyboard, and a wireless laser mouse, chances are you have not given proper thought to whatever it is you are sitting on.

While proper seating is not the first thing that comes to mind when you are attempting to get something done on the computer, the issue of ergonomics in the office has been getting lots of attention for the past few years. If you take a moment to consider how long you spend sitting at your computer, whether it is at home gaming or at the office writing code, the hours rack up quickly. There is no question that your position while doing these tasks should be comfortable and ergonomically sound. While this can be accomplished with many different types of chairs, that aluminum folding chair is not going to cut it.

When you take into account the need for some kind of thermal interface between the memory chips and the heat spreaders, often nothing more than a semi-efficient thermal tape, it was reasonably argued that having the chips open to direct cooling from the air circulating in your case is likely to do more good than cloaking them in a metal shroud, however efficient it might me at conducting heat.

There was a time when 4,200 RPM was the norm for 2.5" notebook drives, and even today, 4,200-RPM drives are fairly common. Fortunately, those seeking better mobile I/O performance have an increasing number of options. Numerous manufacturers offer faster drives with 5,400RPM and even 7,200RPM spindle speeds, the latest of which also boast speedy Serial ATA interfaces and support for Native Command Queuing.

Serial ATA and NCQ are relatively new to the laptop world, and 7,200-RPM spindle speeds and high-capacity platters are still pretty cutting-edge for the 2.5" mobile form factor. The question, of course, is how well the latest Serial ATA notebook drives have integrated these new features and capabilities. It's also worth asking whether there's really a big performance gap between 5,400- and 7,200-RPM notebook drives. To find the answers, we've assembled the latest 5,400- and 7,200-RPM Serial ATA notebook drives from Hitachi and Seagate and run them through the wringer. Read on for the surprising results.

Periphery and power connectors are located along motherboard edges, Serial ATA connectors are fenced. The only Clear CMOS jumper (to be more exact, two contacts to be connected with a jumper) on the motherboard is placed near a battery and is easily accessible after you install the motherboard into a PC case; there is a brief description of its functions on the PCB next to it (quite redundant in this case). There are no empty seats on the board, except for petty wiring and some minor elements (system speaker, BIOS write protection jumpers, additional audio-in, fan header…). It's the only motherboard [so far] in the series of Gigabyte models that is based on this chipset, so its PCB layout is unique.

Unfortunately, as computers become faster, their power requirements and heat dissipation also grows higher. Both of these problems affect the power supply units, which have to provide more power while remaining quiet and cool. Cheap power supply units have to use powerful fans for cooling, which makes them rather loud for using in HTPC systems or other systems which need to be quiet. Thus many companies strive to design more powerful and efficient power supply units, which not only are able to provide great amounts of power but also to dissipate less heat and require less cooling. Be-Quiet is a rather new German company, subsidiary of Listan, which focuses on creating computer related products, like coolers and power supply units, made to reduce the noise output of your PC without compromising quality and/or performance.

That's understandable, since the X16 chipset really doesn't offer much in the way of new features and performance. In fact, there are still only a few nForce4 SLI X16-based motherboards available on the market.

With much of the high-end motherboard market riding the original nForce4 SLI, MSI's K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI looks right at home. MSI's spin on the nForce4 SLI is unique, though. Rather than settling for the nForce4 SLI chipset's pedestrian AC'97 audio implementation, MSI has endowed the K8N Neo4 with a high-definition audio chip from Creative. Can high-def audio help the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI rise above the slew of nForce4 SLI boards out there? Read on to find out.

The FX-60 is a 90nm part based on AMD’s Toledo core. AMD pack over 233million transistors into the FX60 at 90nm and end up with a die size just over 199mm2. The chip comes clocked at 2.6ghz and features 2 cores (like the X2 range of CPU’s). Cache levels are set to 64kb of both L1 data and L1 code and L2 cache is 1mb (per core). The chip supports all the usual technologies such as SSE3 and x86-64 and has a reasonably low operating voltage of 1.3-1.35v. We say low because the same Toledo core was used on the X2 4800+ and on that chip the voltage requirement is 1.35-1.4v for a slower 2.4ghz clock.

While heatpipe technology is nothing new to the cooling industry, the NH-U12 does look to have some of the longest running copper heatpipes I've seen to date.

Since the introduction of the first All-in-Wonder back in late
1996 (based on the 3D Rage II!) it has become famed for offering an all- you-can-eat mix of high powered graphics and multimedia in one pot.
On top of the latest ATI graphics chip, the All-in-Wonder always adds a TV Tuner and a plethora of inputs and outputs for connecting up and capturing from a variety of sources. It was really the forerunner to what is now becoming a mainstream practice – combining the power of a computer with TV.

In the past it has always been some time after releasing its latest graphics chipset before the GPU would also appear. However, this time ATI has been quick out of the traps, releasing the All-in-Wonder X1900 at virtually the same time as the dedicated graphics card.

Memory sticks and USB drives are fine for small files, but transporting large amounts of data from work to home is impractical. An external portable hard drive can be just the thing to lug alot of data between home and the office, and can also be used as expanded storage for laptop users. Using an external hard drive enclosure makes it possible to transform a normal 3.5" internal hard drive into a portable data expansion. These can be used on any computer with USB. Athena Power's SNT-2312B2 external 3.5" enclosure hopes to wrap its aluminum arms around your hard drive's bits and bytes for your data expansion needs.

The enclosure has a silver aluminum body that has been textured to shimmer more light, with smoked acrylic end caps. The actylic looks like it can easily crack or scratch, but is actually pretty rugged. There are 4 rubber pads on the bottom of the enclosure for stability. There are no rubber pads for the sides, so this drive is intended to be laid flat on your desk. There are no cutouts or holes to dissipate heat, and there's no fan to be found, either. The rear of the enclosure houses the power switch and connector, and a USB 2.0 port. There are also two screws here that secure the drive tray within the enclosure.

Also available for the PC, Call of Duty 2 does its best to fill the Halo-shaped hole in the 360 lineup and performs admirably although it is hardly revolutionary.

As before, the game divides its single player campaign among three soldiers of different nationalities—Russian, British, and American—which allows it to tackle different fronts of the global conflict. You don’t strongly identify with the characters you play, but Call of Duty 2 isn’t worried about plot—the important thing is that World War II is on and there are Nazis that need slaying.

In common with many advanced heatsink designs these days, the Blue Orb II has a large surface area to maximise heat dissipation; to achieve a greater surface area, more metal is used, and the obvious side effect is the increased weight. When compared with the weight of the current leading heatsinks, the Blue Orb II sits near the top of the pile, approaching 900g. However, its weight is certainly far from alarming to this reviewer and poses no concern, although extra care should obviously be taken when transporting a system with a heatsink of this weight installed.

However the HR-01 marks Thermalright's first foray into the passive tower market, and if anyone can make this thing work, and work well, it almost has to be Thermalright, right?``xEEFApZkFApxQspxrRb``x1139079590``x(default)``xhttp://www.ocia.net/reviews/hr01/page1.shtml``x OCZ Gold PC3700EB Review @ EclipseOC``xMike``xOCZ pc3700EB has gone up in the halls of fame for classic overclocking ram due to the outstanding performance it gave to users back in it's prime in 2004.

Called many by many different names, for example super-zoom or ZLR, these cameras have a fixed lens in a DSLR style body. They generally do not feature a SLR lens system, but they have optics and adjustment features which are better than point-and-shoots. An example is FujiFilm's S5200 which we reviewed not too long ago. While the S5200 is reflective of the ZLR's of yesteryear, which were generally high-end beginner cameras, the style has grown to include cameras which go up to nearly the price of a entry-level DSLR (with a lens). This is the case with the S9000 which remains well under a the thousand dollar mark, but it shoots at nine megapixels and has many of the features which people looking for an SLR are interested in.

NVIDIA released its GeForce 7 series this past summer, and ATI has introduced not one, but two generations of high-end Radeon X1000-series GPUs. Yet neither company has seen fit to introduce a fast new AGP card, somehow figuring that the upgrade market would prefer PCI Express so overwhelmingly it didn't matter. That seems to be a rather harsh assessment given the fact that one can slide an Athlon 64 X2 into a reasonably decent Socket 939 AGP mobo like the Asus A8V and get a dual-core CPU upgrade.

Fortunately, NVIDIA and BFG Tech are looking to right that wrong by introducing the GeForce 7800 GS OC, which brings the shader power of the GeForce 7 architecture to an AGP slot near you--or at least some of that shader power, anyhow. The GeForce 7800 GS is based on the same G70 GPU that powers other 7800-series graphics cards, but it's cut down to a portion of the full functionality of a GeForce 7800 GTX. Does this G70 "lite" still have what it takes to dominate the AGP graphics upgrade market? Let's find out.

Using the supplied mounting brackets you attach to the bottom of the water block. First however you must remove the existing CPU mounting bracket, and in the case of the Athlon 64 and the DFI nF4 SLI Lan Party board we used for our testing that meant also removing the back heatsink mount from underneath the board. If Coolermaster had allowed for installation using the existing heatsink mounting mechanism it would certainly literally be an installation that would have taken only minutes.

Though their designs vary from brand to brand, practically all of the headsets on the market share the same core design principals. One of which is the way they are worn. Every Bluetooth headset I have previously reviewed, as well as all the ones I have only seen, attaches to your ear via a hook. While some hook designs work better than others, the hook design as a whole can be rather cumbersome; they are either hard to put on, do not hold the headset on your ear very well, and/or are uncomfortable. Leave it to a young startup company comprised of a group of Bluetooth specialists to come up with a headset design that does away with the hook design altogether. The FlyBy Bluetooth headset from AiZen is just that. Just how did AiZen do away with the hook and how well does the FlyBy work? Read on and find out.

ATI's SB450 is missing a number of handy features, such as support for Native Command Queuing and RAID 0+1 and 5 arrays. More importantly, though, it's plagued by I/O issues that hinder USB and PCI performance. That latter is particularly damning, as it can affect the performance of onboard Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet, and Serial ATA peripherals.

Fortunately, the CrossFire Edition chipset has an ace up its sleeve. Its north bridge is capable of interfacing with alternative south bridge chips, including those built by ULi. Asus has taken advantage of that capability with the A8R-MVP, a CrossFire-capable motherboard built with ULi's M1575 south bridge. The M1575 fills in many of the features missing from the SB450, and it shouldn't suffer from the I/O performance problems that afflict the SB450.

Of course, the A8R-MVP is more than just a showcase for a unique chipsets combo. At under $100 online, it's also one of the most affordable CrossFire boards around. Oh, and it overclocks like a mofo, too. Keep reading for more on what may be the most attractive CrossFire board on the market.

The technologies inside is what sets it apart of other headphones. This technology is also used by the U.S. military and private pilots. A microphone in each earcup "hears" sounds an instant before they can reach the ears. Advanced electronics recognize what the listener wants to hear—a message from the control tower, music, an in-flight movie or silence—and compares it to noise the listener doesn't want to experience.

More heat of course requires more cooling solutions and more often this not this means a big fan. While it is true that both ATI and Nvidia have done a lot of work to keep the fan noise down from the furiously loud fans of the past, it can still be a problem, especially for those considering PC's for the home theater. Luckily, there have been a number of solutions that now use entirely passive cooling, even on high-end video cards.

Using the same R520 GPU as the X1800XL, the Sapphire Radeon X1800XT has a core speed of 625Mhz, which is 25% faster than X1800XL. In addition, the ultra fast 1.2ns GDDR3 boost the memory speed to 1.5Ghz, which is 50% faster than X1800XL! We manage to achieve 15-25% improvement over the X1800XL in most of our benchmarks. This is the most significant in more demanding benchmarks at high resolution and FSAA.

However, unlike the X1800XL, the X1800XT isn't as overclockable. Probably the X1800 already pushed to its limit, nevertheless both X1800 are powerful enough for the most demanding games at this moment. The Sapphire Radeon X1800XT will be more suitable for those who are not only going for the fps, but also on image quality.

With such high core/mem speed, a large and noisy heatsink fan is inevitable. Fortunately, this isn't as bad because the fan and clock speed will be lowered automatically in 2D mode, so that you can still enjoy your net surfing peacefully.

Indeed, it's always difficult to sell the same product for the third time, you must have weighty arguments.

In this connection, boxes with a previously designed model got the "CrossFire Ready" logo and these motherboards officially appeared on sale.

This includes supporting Shader Model 3.0, High Dynamic Rendering (HDR), AVIVO, and more.

To do this Asus brings in some massive heatsink and fan solution from Arctic cooling that takes up two slots and features four heatpipes and a copper heatsink to keep the system stable. The solution works excellently, not getting too hot and in fact we were able to overclock it further, but only slightly as we were limited by Asus' software how far we could go. We brought it up to 810MHz for the memory and 710MHz for the core.

A higher-performance modification of the chip with an increased number of pixel processors (the number of texture processors remains the same), which actually pretends for the palm in competition with the most powerful modification of the G70 - GeForce 7800 GTX 512 running at a higher frequency.

Even current synthetic benchmarks designed to show off theoretical rates in 3D hardware can have a hard time exploiting the tripling in fragment processing ability. That's not to say the performance increases at the same clocks as R520 are invisible. Clearly they're not without increases, especially at the higher resolutions, of up to 30% in the games we tested, clock-for-clock.

However, roadmaps leaked sometime ago, with curious configuration indicators would suggest that this wasn't the case for R580. The roadmaps indicated a configuration of 16-1-1-1 for R530 and 16-1-3-1 for R580. It wasn't until RV530 (Radeon X1600) was fully understood did these descriptions become clearer as to their intent; with a configuration signalled on the roadmap as 4-1-3-2 for RV530 it become clear that the numbers represented the number of "pipelines" (even though ATI's engineering didn't like this terminology), the number of texture units per pipeline, parallel shader ALUs per pipeline and the number of Z samples per pipeline. When this is extrapolated back to R580 it would appear to mean that the pixel shader pipelines would be increased threefold over R520, sounding a little absurd to some...

In this article we take a look at the performance of the X1900 XTX in single and Crossfire configurations, the architecture changes and te effects of the new "Fetch4" capabilities.

A couple of things as it happens, the major focus being the amount of pixel shading power on offer. R580 has grown to a total of 384 million transistors, over 60 million more than the 321 million found on the R520 core with which it shares its 90nm manufacturing process.

Those sixty million transistors or so have largely been spent on tripling the number of pixel shader units in R580. Whereas R520 features sixteen pixel pipelines (four pixel quads), each containing a single pixel shader unit, R580 again features sixteen pixel pipelines, but this time each of these contains three pixel shader units, making for a total of 48 inside the core. If this sounds at all familiar to you, it's because we've already seen a similar configuration on ATI's RV530 part, aka the Radeon X1600. On that occasion, we saw a core utilising four pixel pipelines (a single quad of pixels) each with three shader units, giving a total of twelve shader units. R580 simply repeats this configuration on a grander scale - Indeed, come the launch of the Radeon X1000 series, the boards handed out by ATI to most developers were not Radeon X1800 parts, but rather X1600 boards, to prepare them for the shift in emphasis that R580 would bring.

For those wondering X1800XT was clocked at 625MHz core, and 1.5GHz memory. It’s difficult to tell the differences between the new card and the old card on the outside, with the only noticeable differences being the number of mosfets next to the long red heat sink toward the end of the board.

This means that the X1800 has had one of the shortest ever runs as a flagship graphics product, beaten only by NVIDIA’s ill-fated and ill- rated, GeForceFX 5800. However, as ATI would have had two teams working on new products, it’s likely that the R580 team were simply on-time, whereas the R520 team, were very late. Even more remarkably it seems as though ATI hasn’t entirely paper launched and its cards should be available to buy as you read this.

Many people buy their display hardware, plug it in, and just assume that it looks correct. Some people go ahead and make a few changes to their display after installing it, configuring whatever features they see as being inaccurate. This sort of subjective analysis is a step in the right direction but it can only take users so far; at some point a more objective and scientific method is needed. For people who see accurate color as being very important, the type of testing needed is best seen in a hardware-based, external device. One such device is the Spyder2 calibration tool from Datacolor. This device plugs into a computer's USB port and mounts on the display. From this point it is able to analyze many different aspects of the image so that the monitor can be properly configured for an accurate picture. This ColorFacts tool is a professional version of the Spyder2PRO Studio kit which we reviewed some time ago. This same tool was adapted to make the SpyderTV which was recently released.

It has been shown that the normal case cooling is not ideal to provide adequate airflow directly to the hard drive so some other means of cooling the drives is required.

That is where the Vantec Vortex 2 comes into play; with its 3,700-RPM "Cross-Flow" fan it can offer your hard drive the kind of cooling that normal case fans cannot provide. As an added benefit, the Vortex 2 also offers a unique "Vibration Dampening System" for your hard drive. So come along as we check out Vantec's newest cooling accessory.

Even more importantly I’ve been in love with the functionality of Antec for years, but this is the first case whose looks actually made me turn my head. In doing my background research it all seemed overwhelmingly positive except for a few dissenters grumbling about the necessary power supply cable length and flimsy front panels. The semi-minimalist look suited my needs exactly, but the case would be tried and tested based upon the noise it produced- my studio apartment is the epitome of close quarters.

They produce flash memory in every form factor, the latest being mini-SD. There are currently many different form factors, and have reduced in size over the years. They have become pretty standardized, as 6-in-1 and even 8-in-1 card readers are widely available for PCs and laptops. These readers allow access to your flash memory, no matter what type you have. So why introduce a new standard?

SanDisk claims the miniSD card offers significant savings in card area and volume, which are two critical design parameters as mobile phones grow more miniaturized. The miniSD card saves more than 40% of the printed circuit board over standard SD cards in less than 60% of the space. Windows SmartPhones use this memory format, and more miniaturized phones with multimedia features.

CPU performance has not been measured explicitly as part of your final 3DMark score for some time now (Even 3DMark 2001, which is far more of an overall system benchmark these days, has only ended up so due to the fast progress of GPU technology and performance to the point where the CPU becomes a limiting factor in the software's game tests), so this is a sea change from FutureMark to match the actual testing methodology with the aforementioned "Gamer's Benchmark" tagline, while still appealing to professionals and enthusiasts such as myself who often want to take CPU power out of the equation as much as possible and focus on pure graphics performance.

As an offshoot of this, the 'Game tests' of past 3DMarks have now been renamed as 'Graphics tests' - Semantics really, but it helps to hammer home the point of the changes in methodology in this iteration of 3DMark.``xEEFZylyAyFatCpQXiB``x1137694163``x(default)``xhttp://www.elitebastards.com/page.php?pageid=13397``x 3DMark06 Performance-Report @ Computerbase.de``xMike``xFinally, Futuremark's 3DMark06 has been released to the public.

One of these companies is Polywell Computers, having been around since 1987 they provide an array of desktop and server systems with flexibility in build and today we have one of their high-end gaming rigs to see just how they stack up.

If the air surrounding it is cooler, it is able to provide more power than 550W.

The Neo HE is somewhat different to most other power supply units and we do not mean that because it is a modular type power supply unit as there are many of these around these days.

Although these were all introduced at the same time their releases were staggered a little, and even when they did finally start rolling off the production lines their further releases hardly appeared to go too smoothly.

Both X1300 and X1600, although around in various locations roughly when they were supposed to be, hardly appeared plentiful, which may partially have been to do with their pricing. ATI set fairly high MSRPs on both the X1300 and X1600 product lines, likely set for some high margins and to be competitive to where they were when they were introduced. However, when shipping is set to occur nearly two months after announcement, as was the case for X1600, a lot can happen in that time span, as indeed it did with NVIDIA's release of the 6800 GS. Now, though, following a reduction in MSRPs by ATI both products are becoming plentiful, vendors are coming out with numerous SKUs of both product lines, and street prices are more inline with where we would expect for their die sizes.

Over the past few years there have been several different thermal paste technologies, each of them trying to efficiently transfer heat away from the processor. One of the best electrically conductive metals is silver followed slightly by copper.

Because silver is the highest electrical and thermal conductor, manufacturers have used it as the magic ingredient in high-performance thermal compounds. Silver, as we all know, is expensive, and so are compounds based on silver. More advanced forumulas exist, as the current King of Thermal Compounds (Arctic Silver Ceramique) contains no silver at all. There is still room for inovation and competition on the thermal battlefield, and one of the newest heirs to the Throne is TherMax Tech's XFlux-GA Thermal Compound.

So what matters is everything else: The quality of the integration, the pre-sales assistance, being able to deliver what the customer is expecting, do so at a reasonable price, and then support it after the fact. WidowPC has effectively failed in all but the last of these with the WidowFX. We saw a long list of production or quality assurance level problems that we could not ignore.

It’s quite massive, measuring 245 x 130mm, so you’d better be sure you can fit it into your case before considering it. It’s this large because of the large heatsink and fan and extra power requirements from the two 7800 GT GPUs that Asus had mounted onto the PCB. Of course it’s not a new idea. 3Dfx did it ‘Back-in-the-day’ in 2001 with its ill-fated Voodoo 5 5500 sporting dual VSA-100 chips, ATI flirted with it with its Rage Fury Maxx and recently Gigabyte reinvigorated the genre with its 3D1, which featured two GeForce 6600GTs.

From our benchmark results, the new X1800 series has a significant increase in performance over the X800, especially at higher resolution with FSAA.


However, the X1800 series is more than just speed boost over the previous generation. The new R520 core uses 90nm-manufacturing process, which helps to squeeze more features on a smaller die while reduces heat dissipation. As we can see, a small fan on a copper heatsink is sufficient to keep the card cool, unlike those large and noisy blower fans we usually found on high-end graphic cards.


Overclockers will be delighted that the R520 is highly overclockable, thanks to the 1.4ns Samsung GDDR3 that is capable of 1400Mhz. We manage to overclock the core speed by 9%, from 500Mhz to 545Mhz. At the same time, the memory was overclocked by 33%, from 990Mhz to 1314Mhz with rock stability! However with a single slot design, heat may trap around the card if there isn't proper ventilation.

This chip is based on the Toledo core and runs at an impressive 2.6GHz with a 13x unlocked multiplier and 200MHz HTT speed. This is the fastest production AMD dual core processor available, and is a pretty impressive piece of hardware with an equally impressive price tag.

In general, a dual-core processor does not benefit the hardcore gamer, as most PC games are not optimized for multi-threaded processing. However, both ATI and nVidia have released drivers supporting dual-core processors (driver version 81.97), which provide a noticeable performance improvement in most games. The hardcore PC enthusiast now has a no-compromise solution for games and applications. Because the working frequency of this new FX is 200Mhz lower than its single-core brother (the FX-57), it may not perform as well with workloads that are not multi-threaded. It is 200Mhz faster than the fastest single-core X2 4800+, which runs at 2.4GHz.

The downside is that you can’t use the slot at all in single card mode, something most SLI boards allows you to at reduced bandwidth.

Intel manufactures this CPU using its brand-new 65nm process tech, and the Extreme Edition 955 sports dual processor cores with a higher clock speed, a larger cache, and faster bus than its predecessor. Not only that, but this new processor gets support from the also-new 975X chipset, Intel's first stab at core logic with a proper dual eight-lane PCI Express configuration for use with dual-graphics solutions like ATI's CrossFire. All told, the Extreme Edition 955 sounds like a formidable presence on paper, and it backs up that rep in person with better performance than any other desktop chip Intel has produced to date.

The Extreme Edition's stellar resume isn't likely to intimidate AMD, because Athlon 64 processors have been outperforming Intel's CPUs for a good while now. Just to be sure, though, AMD has cooked up its own new flagship CPU for release today, the Athlon 64 FX-60. The FX-60 isn't as flashy as Intel's new number, but it does represent a major change for AMD's high-end gaming-oriented processors, because it is the first dual-core member of the FX product line.

Now, these two new thousand-dollar processors face one another in our broad suite of performance tests, ranging from highly multithreaded 64-bit rendering applications to the latest games. Thanks to new multithreaded graphics drivers, these new dual-core CPUs may even challenge their single-core counterparts for supremacy in 3D gaming. Let's see whether the boffo specs on Intel's new 65nm Extreme Edition processor translate into a credible challenge for the dual-core FX-60.

Of course, new models with beta BIOS versions have a right to be slow. If a chipset is much faster than its competitors, it will have almost no effect on the results. But according to our tests, in case of Intel 915(with DDR2)/945 and Intel 925/955 pairs, this condition is not met, so the new motherboards were just slower than the old ones. Now, over six months afterwards, all manufacturers have released BIOS updates for their products on i945/955. So I think we may speak of the final performance results. Thus, here is a roundup of four motherboards on i945P and one model on i945G with the latest BIOS versions.``xEEFyAAAyFurQGqSUiC``x1137006834``x(default)``xhttp://www.digit-life.com/articles2/mainboard/roundup-i945-dec2k5.html``x The World's Tiniest Power Supply @ XYZ Computing``xMike``xEvery year the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is sure to produce a few interesting products.

It comes with 4 pixel pipelines, 12 pixel shader units and 5 vertex pipelines -- not a standard 1:1 configuration. The X1300 PRO sample came in a non PRO box though based on real specifications I can assure you it's a real PRO model (just not final retail product). This baby is equipped with 4 pixel pipelines, 4 pixel shader units and 2 vertex pipelines (1 to 1 ratio, just like R520). As with X1600 XT it's also a 128-bit offering and should be available in many different configurations.

The 7200.8 update was the drive that the 7200.7 should have been, and now we have the 7200.9 which meets the SATA2.5 specification. The headline change is the move from a 150MB/sec interface to 300MB/sec but we all know that this will bring minimal benefit when you are running a single hard drive as 150MB/sec offers plenty of headroom. Instead we should concentrate on the less obvious changes such as the addition of Native Command Queuing which is intended to transfer data more quickly between the hard drive and processor.

Nvidia and ATI started adding dual core optimizations to their drivers starting in the 80 series and 5.1 versions respectively. That was certainly progress, but the real kicker was when Quake 4 patch version 1.05 beta, and Call of Duty version 1.01 were released. These included multi threading optimizations with assistance from Intel, but our exclusive testing showed clear benefits to AMD dual core processors. So suddenly gamers had some hope that dual core could matter even if so far 64 bit gaming had disappointed most.



This leads us to the announcement of the Athlon 64 FX60 dual core CPU clocked at 2.6GHz with a full 1MB of L2 cache for each core. We have waited a full half of a year for 200 additional MHz, but with the FX line we also gain the advantage of an unlocked clock multiplier. How will this CPU fair compared to the initial dual core launch with drivers and games optimized for multi threading? We would expect a rosier picture at long last. We begin with a look at the specifications for the Athlon 64 FX60.

The new Accelero series will be available at the end of February this year. The most exciting thing about the Accelero series is the first time use of heat pipes for a VGA cooling solution. The heat pipes technology is already in use with CPU coolers, so Arctic Cooling took the next step of introducing it to the VGA segment of cooling solutions. The Accelero series is available in two models: X1 for the NVIDIA GeForce 6800/7800 series, and X2 for the ATi RADEON X1800/1900 series. Arctic Cooling is known for being the king of VGA cooling over the past few years. Their products are known as being the noise killers and best friends of the overclocking community. Another thing that we all love about their products is their competitive prices and unique product design. These unique qualities have brought a lot of fame to the company. Even big manufacturers like ASUS and HIS have chosen Arctic Cooling solutions for their products.

Today we are going to test the new Accelero X2 VGA Cooler from Arctic Cooling. We will find out how the first GPU cooler with heat pipes technology performs. As I previously mentioned this product is intended for the new ATi RADEON X1800 series. In case you didn’t know, the RADEON X1800’s stock heat sink/fan is quite loud, especially at full speed or in use with Crossfire.

And not only did we find that our AMD Athlon FX-55 and GeForce 6800 Ultra equipped system didn't short out when we filled the sealed shut PC case with cooking oil--but the non-conductive properties of the liquid coupled created a totally cool and quiet high-end PC, devoid of the noise pollution of fans.

NVIDIA is introducing a new video card with TWO 7800 GTX 512 GPUs on it with two PCBs. Oh, and these new cards will sport 1 GB of total memory as well.

First, you'll notice there are two physical PCBs on this one, dual slot video card. Each PCB sports a single 7800 GTX 512 GPU and 512 MB of GDDR3 memory. The cards are longer to support the added logic involved in these cards and to allow the cooling device to be bigger as well.

There is a new chip on the card that NVIDIA developed that acts as a physical PCI Express bus splitter. It takes the single physical X16 PCIe slot that is fed to the card and splits it into two full X16 PCIe connections; one to each GPU. This logic is then responsible for the merging of the data back into a single X16 PCIe connection when it goes back across the bus. The two PCBs are connected under the SLI bridge connections with a custom interconnect that allows the two GPUs to function in SLI mode.

Also you'll see there are TWO SLI bridge connectors on this single card -- each of those will be in use when your pair up two of these bad boys.

Here are the specs on what a system that is powered by TWO of these SLI cards holds: 1.3 billion transistors, 96 pixel pipes (24 x 4) and 2 GB of memory (512 x 4) is freaking out of this world!"``xEEFyZpEAuAeNptSbvw``x1136709149``x(default)``xhttp://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=195``x Mashie Design Visual Audio (MDVA) Review @ MTB``xNathan``x"The concept for the MDVA was derived from one of Mashie's older projects dubbed Anemone which took first place in the Summer 2002 CPL Consummate Computer Competition (C3).

The overall appearance is the MDVA is very clean with access to the rear of the PCB.

Hard drives have been one of the few components that most people have brand loyalty to for years and years. I have owned Western Digital and Samsung hard drives, but I had larger storage needs and needed a little more space. I decided to try a new brand, and this can lead to a change in brand loyalty. I chose a Maxtor due to their reasonable price and quality.

For an off-the-shelf retail drive the Maxtor Diamondmax 6B200R0 is well packaged and easy to use from the start. The Installation guide is well organized and uses illustrations to aid the novice user. Overall the drive is worth the $100 price tag, especially since the drive has bonus 16MB cache. The drive would make a wonderful addition to any system needing extra storage space, or as a primary drive. This drive has surprising performance, and I shall not be wary of buying another Maxtor drive (well, soon to be Seagate)!

This change in thinking leaves us with two patches for big-name titles released in recent weeks which focus on optimising performance for multi-processor systems.

Today we will be having a closer look at the A8N32-SLI Deluxe - the latest bad boy to hit the ASUS motherboard line up - and what it is capable of when it comes to overclocking. VGA performance was a bit all over the shop when we looked at the board last time but this time our emphasis will be more concentrated on low resolution benchmarking along with programs that concentrate more on the motherboard/chipset side of things. Last time we didn’t get a chance to look into overclocking because we only had the motherboard in our labs for 24 hours but now it’s a resident in the labs and we’ve had plenty of time to get down and dirty with it.``xEEFyuFZAEZXwbNdjfn``x1136445117``x(default)``xhttp://www.tweaktown.com/articles/859/``x Inside Pentium M Architecture @ Hardwaresecrets.com``xMike``xIn this tutorial we will explain you how Pentium M CPU works in an easy to follow language.

Not only are display manufacturers, like Viewsonic, becoming a major part of the equation, but the importance of lesser know brands is growing as well. This review is going to taking a look at the LT-2722 twenty-seven inch LCD TV from Norcent. Though you may not have heard of Norcent before, that have been producing displays for some
time, and they have specialized in bringing lower costitems to consumer. LCD TV's are still a very hot commodity, so don't expect rock-bottom pricing but you can usually save a few dollars if you go with a Norcent instead of a "premium" brand. We will see how this impacts the quality of the final product and how it does in a price-to-performance analysis.

Of course, it had been hurting already for a while. More than three hours after it started, the new King Kong movie was over and despite its monstrous length, at no point had I wished it would hurry up and finish. I was having too much fun with the thrilling action and engaging story. With that in mind I have to ask how the video game version, while having such a short length, manages to become boring? Although Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (insert your own lengthy-title joke) innovates in many ways and offers a fair share of thrills, it ultimately grows stale and leaves much to be desired.

At the end of the article is a downloadable video showing off the gameplay and graphics.

It's supposed to be just right, targeted to the photographer looking for a high-quality camera that's easy to use but has enough tweaks to keep dial spinners happy. This compact camera is the replacement for the soon-to-be discontinued 7.1MP S70. Among the good features of the S80 are a wide focal length (28mm), higher movie clip quality, a real-time histogram and enough shooting modes to handle almost anything you can throw at it.

Your computer's processor may continue to radiate heat during shutdown (when the system fans have shut off), leaving your processor unprotected. Vendors claim these units prevent overheating of the processor by running the system fans (and continuing to disipate heat) after the computer has shut off. Little timid to buy one? Well join the crowd. Today I had the chance to review one of Evercool’s GT-365 Extended Cooling System (ECS) provided by Evercool.

This is a great product when used for the right application. It may not be very practical for a water-cooled system, but that is no reason to mark it down. With this type of system the unit could be used on the rear case fans to draw out extra case heat when the computer is shut down, and does a great job at that. In an air cooled application this product does a great job at removing excess heat from the processor heatsink, or any other target component. ``xEEFyplAlylavgnkovm``x1136097068``x(default)``xhttp://www.ocmodshop.com/default.aspx?a=308``x VR-Fidelity USB Speakerphone @ ThinkComputers.org``xMike``xWith the ever increasing popularity of voice over internet/broadband (VoIP), there will come of course, lots of cool products.

In days past, a user looking at a given brand of video card would have three, perhaps four models to choose from, each clearly delineated in terms of price and performance. In case you hadn't noticed, those days are over. For example, ATI now has at least two dozen separate model numbers to choose from, and by the time you factor in all the possible permutations of each model, such as amount of memory, all-in wonder or not, etc., it's easy for a user to get horribly confused. The situation is worst in the mid-to-high end market, where there can be literally dozens of choices that fall within a few dollars of each other. The card we're looking at today is from Powercolor, and is designated the X800 GTO 16. The X800 GTO is based on the X800XL, with the main difference being that four of the chip's 16 pixel pipelines have been disabled. However, the 16 in the Powercolor card's name is an indicator that this is not an ordinary GTO. We're going to find out exactly what this card has going for it, and if it appears to be destined for success.``xEEFyppZFFpOToRWKUo``x1136014530``x(default)``xhttp://www.systemcooling.com/powercolor_x800gto16-01.html``x Downloadable Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Disk Overview @ OCModShop``xNathan``xA burnable self-booting Xbox 360 demo DVD image is floating around on the internet.

As system builders need more power, the amount provided by power supply manufacturers has exploded. As such, the average power supply has gotten a good deal more powerful and it is not out of the ordinary to see a system being built with a 500W, or more, PSU. While the norm has increased, so has the top range of power supplies. Higher end PSUs have gotten extremely powerful and now top out with the focus of this review, a kilowatt model. With a thousand watts continuous power avaible (1100W peak) this PSU is twice as powerful as a well-equipped unit. This review will be taking a look at PC Power and Cooling's Turbo-Cool 1KW. This is the first consumer-leve power supply to break the kilowatt mark. This is an incredible feat, but given this power supply's large price tag and all the hype surrounding it, we wanted to take a closer look and see what it could do when fired up.``xEEFVAkFlAubnvgblrb``x1135931094``x(default)``xhttp://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=501``x OCZ Rally Flash Drive Review @ CaseModGod.com``xMike``xOCZ has taken the flash drive market by storm and has kicked up the speed to “Over Drive”!

They're more likely to appreciate the extra core speed over the additional threads that really aren't required by anyone who's serious about gaming.


Intel would be better marketing this CPU towards the power user who, like me, hates waiting for one thing to finish before something else can be started. I've turned into a multi-tasking machine, and I'll often sit down and find myself doing more things than my current Athlon 64 X2 is capable of.

Nero is pretty much world known for their software, and very much established as the leader in utilities for burning or creating CDs and DVDs. If you are like me then you have a few copies of Nero lying around that came packaged with the CD/DVD burners you have purchased, almost every burner bought today comes packaged with a short version of Nero, it works great but just doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the full featured version. Today for review I have Nero 7 Ultra Edition, the latest version from Nero AG.

It's hard to figure out further possible roads of its development:
well, at maximum, the clock will be raised by another 266 MHz, getting maximum close to the clock peak of single-core CPUs based on the same core. That is, considering the accented removal of Intel 4GHz CPU from roadmaps, Pentium 4 eXtreme Edition 955 will have only one heir even theoretically. If it will at all.

No other cell phone looks more at home in our futuristic view of the 21st century as the art-techno RAZR, which has made it the world's most popular cell phone. According to Motorola, around 13 million RAZRs have been sold worldwide. Amazingly, that total was achieved without the phone being available from the U.S.'s second largest carrier, Verizon. That oversight has been corrected with the RAZR V3c. Desirous Verizon customers will find their RAZR is superior to their friends proudly showing off their Cingular version, primarily because it is compatible with Verizon's broadband EV-DO network and Verizon's V CAST multimedia service. Unfortunately, while currently cool, the VC3, priced at $199.99 with a two-year contract, may face a quick obsolescence. Verizon is due to launch a music service early in 2006, and the RAZR lacks both an external memory slot to easily import your MP3s and a stereo headset option. But if you're more concerned with impressing your co-workers than listening to music on your cell phone, the RAZR in any version is likely to remain the coolest phone around."``xEEFVEAAlVluhEHMdMn``x1135207058``x(default)``xhttp://emailer.emailroi.com/go.shtml?20051220161023451849&m8063&http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review3353.html``x Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe review @ bit-tech``xNathan``x"Rather than the typical PCB-based SLI bridge, ASUS has decided to include a ribbon-based 'soft' SLI bridge.

According to the FCC, consumers should have the ability to select and pay for only the channels they want to watch, versus having to pay for bundles or "tiers" comprised of many channels they never view.

The FCC stated that the agency's latest research concludes that "...à la carte could be in the best interest of consumers" as well as being "economically feasible." This runs counter to last year's FCC report which found that à la carte pricing would result in substantial price increases for consumers and negatively impact the cable TV industry.``xEEFulApkZpytikiItd``x1134897470``x(default)``xhttp://news.designtechnica.com/talkback90.html``x Keynesis Portable Sweeper @ ThinkComputers.org``xMike``xNot long ago, I took a look at security software from Keynesis called Lockngo.

They believe their dual core optimizations in those drivers could be interfering with the new dual core support in Quake 4. They provided us with registry keys to add to disable dual core support in their drivers. Armed with this new information we benchmarked again.

Sapphire seems to have really focused on making their offering of the X1300 extremely affordable by being cheapest X1300 available. At the time of writing this card can be found online for $95. In other words, this video card costs less than 20% of what the 7800GTX is currently selling for. That's quite a statement. However, a graphic card has to perform to provide any real value to someone. A cheap video card that doesn't run the games they want play doesn't do much good either. So is this card worth its $95 price tag or is it a very effective paper weight? That's what we will determine in our review of Sapphire's X1300 Pro video card.

Thunderbird 1.5 is slated to be officially released in January 2006 and its Release Candidate 1 had been available for a few weeks now. The enormously effective Spread FireFox campaign has sparked interest in Thunderbird and has had a positive effect on its growth, so this is an important step for Mozilla and
its supporters. Almost anyone who has used Thunderbird lately will tell you that its developers have done a good job with the program. For most people, whether they are using Linux, a OS X, or Windows, Thunderbird does a very
good job with quickly and easily retrieving mail. The program has often been derided because it lacks the scheduling feature of Lotus Notes and Microsoft's Outlook (Mozilla's lackluster Sunbird handles this) but its cross-platform performance is admirable and it has some very good
extensions. Its email filters and adaptive junk mail controls are both more than passable and are easy to work with. Whether or not it passes the "enterprise test" has been argued over considerably, but the fact remains that it is a very good choice for single users and the SOHO environment.``xEEFuyFVuAZNPniWBKs``x1134642697``x(default)``xhttp://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=494``x Seagate's Barracuda 7200.9 hard drives @ Techreport.com``xMike``xIN THE HARD DRIVE WORLD, capacity is king. Capacity actually comes in two flavors. The first and most obvious is the storage capacity of a hard drive. The second, and potentially more important, is the capacity of individual
platters within a drive. This platter capacity is known as the areal density, and it can do more than just increase the amount of data a drive can hold. Higher areal densities allow drives to offer more storage capacity with fewer platters, potentially lowering noise levels, cutting power
consumption, and reducing the risk of a catastrophic head crash. As if that weren't enough, higher areal densities can also improve performance by allowing the drive head to access the same amount of data over a shorter physical distance.

Seagate's new Barracuda 7200.9 family of Serial ATA hard drives packs storage capacity on both fronts, with one model weighing in at a hefty half-terabyte and another packing a single 160GB platter whose areal density is 25% higher than its closest competitor. We've rounded up both models and run them through a brutal gauntlet of storage tests against earlier Barracudas and drives from Hitachi, Maxtor, and Western Digital. Read on to see how the 7200.9s compare.

When I got it, I knew the stock solution was not going to work for me, so with it I ordered an after market cooler as well. It was fine for a while but not great, so of course the next logical step would be water cooling.

The most expensive of the three at £160 was the Leadtek WinFast PX6800GS TDH based upon nVidia's GeForce 6800 GS chip. This GPU is a respin of the 6800 GT. It's built on a 110nm micron process enabling it to offer higher clocks and this gave it enough of a lead over the cards based on ATI's X800 GTO, thereby justifying its higher price. However, Sapphire exclusively offers a part called the GTO2 (GTO Squared). The 'Squared' refers to the fact that this card has one 'quad' of pipelines that have been disabled, and that with a bit of jiggery-pockery from a BIOS flash and an overclocking tool, it can be turned from a 12-pipeline 400MHz card into a 540MHz 16-pipelined graphics card.

This equals 38-380mm in 35mm terms, a very nice range. At $379 it's more expensive than the $299 10x Kodak Z740 with slightly less resolution (5MP). It's also a bit cheaper than its other ultra zoom competitors, the $499 5MP Sony DSC-H1 and Canon PowerShot S2 IS with 12x optical zooms and image stabilization. Kodak's new P850 is a non-image stabilized 5MP digicam with a 12x zoom that costs $449 while Konica Minolta's 6MP DiMage Z6 with a 12x optical zoom is $399.

ViewSonic quotes an 8ms grey to grey response time, which equates to 20ms using the old off-on-off measurement. To be honest though, I don’t really put too much stock in response time - I play a lot of games and I’d be hard pushed to see any difference between a 4ms and 16ms display. In fact I played several games on the VP930 and it performed brilliantly, but to be fair that’s not what the VP range is all about.

To reach this happy equilibrium, the Shuttle XPC SD11G5 is powered by a mobile Intel Pentium M processor (not included). Technically speaking, the Shuttle XPC SD11G5 SFF PC is based around the Intel 915GM and Intel ICH6M chipsets, and it supports socket 479 Intel Celeron M and Pentium M processors that operate with a 400MHz or 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).

Size and type are pretty straightforward. Most consumers should buy the largest capacity CompactFlash memory card within their means so they do not have to swap memory cards out constantly. There are two types of CompactFlash memory cards: Type I and Type II. The only difference between them is the height of the card. Type I CF cards are 3.3mm thick while Type II stands 5mm high. Some cameras are not compatible with Type II CF media, so this question comes down to knowing what your camera supports.``xEEFukFAuZyhuXrnylh``x1134246676``x(default)``xhttp://www.pcstats.com/artvnl.cfm?articleID=1842``x Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 Review @ WindowsAtoZ.com``xMike``xBecause many of us cannot afford the $600 Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe has very kindly made a less-expensive version of Adobe Photoshop, called Elements 4.

The brushed aluminum motif is used on all surfaces of the case, and gives users a glimpse of what an Apple Intel Powerbook might look like. Mouse, power and wireless buttons have a faux chrome coating, which historically has not stood up to the test of time/usage. The shiny coating also looks slightly gaudy rather than the ostensibly intended classy. The full-size keyboard feels nice and snappy and continues with the metallic theme using a gray, reflective coating or plastic. The screen is covered by a highly reflective coating, similar to that of other manufacturers. This helps increase the contrast ration and make the screen more readable in daylight (as long as the angle of the screen isn't in a glare prone orientation).

Full tower cases take up a lot of room but when it comes time to change your components or expand the system to fit your growing needs it is nice to be able to work inside the case and to have adequate room to add a large CPU cooler or a few hard drives. This review is going to be taking a look at the Nitro AX enclosure from I-Star. I-Star is not exactly a household name, probably because they focus more on server parts than consumer ones. They make lots of rackmounted cases and server power supplies, but also a few towers. These towers have the style of something aimed at the consumer market, but have done their best not to forget their roots as server-quality hardware.``xEEFFlVEVlAgBXVXQUH``x1133858789``x(default)``xhttp://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=489``x Samsung 970P LCD Display Review @ XYZ Computing``xJosh``x"There is a lot of competition in the display field but Samsung has done a good job of staying a bit ahead of their competitors, usually in terms of product specifications, but also design. With the ever increasing prevelance of LCD displays Samsung's advantage has been tougher to maintain and the margin by which they lead the industry has slimmed. In the 970P Samsung is going back to the principles which earned them their lead in the LCD market. This product is clearly an update to the acclaimed 193P, with a few twists thrown in, including a revamped design, unique connectivity, and an all new LCD panel. The 970P is by far the most interesting model of all those Samsung recently released- it will be turning more than a few heads year and probably setting the tone for many displays in 2006."

The big problem with GeForce 6200 series is that manufacturers can use different configurations for clock, memory bus and memory size. Thus you can find on the market GeForce 6200 models with very different technical specs, but all being sold as "GeForce 6200". This model we reviewed from Leadtek - PX6200TC TDH supporting 128 MB -, for example, uses only 16 MB of video memory and 32-bit memory bus, being by far the simplest (and cheapest) GeForce 6200 model available on the market today.

Priced around $40 this would be a great replacement cooler to the stock AMD64 unit.

Meet the Konvekt-O-Matic MAXI, can you believe this is Innovatek's mid-size passive radiator? In addition to the standard Konvekt-O-Matic, there is also a HUGE Ultra version. The MAXI measures 45x33x5cm (h x l x w) and weighs in at a whopping 10.5 pounds. And like all of Innovatek's aluminum gear, it is anodized, this one in a vibrant red color. According to Innovatek's testing the MAXI radiates more heat than an active dual 120 mm radiator.``xEEFFVAukyFeZKMGXnc``x1133601463``x(default)``xhttp://reviews.pimprig.com/cooling/innovatek_custom_water_cooling_setup.php``x AeroCool HT-102 Heatsink w/ 8mm Heatpipes @ hi-techreviews.com``xMike``xThe Heatsink we are looking at today from AeroCool is a record breaker so to speak, the record being it uses the largest diameter heatpipes ever used on a heatsink to date.
