3D Prophet All-In-Wonder 9800SE [Review, Hexus]
While considering ways to start this article, it occurred to me that the card on test possibly ought not to exist. With benchmarking done and a set of performance numbers which with to reference, along with an overview of the feature set and price, it seemed strange to me that ATI authorised Hercules to produce it (if indeed ATI could control that). You'll see why as the review progresses. Sat, 15 Nov, 2003 | 441 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

9600 XT vs 5700 Ultra Middleweight Showdown [Review, Neoseeker]
In the alternate universe of the Internet, where videocards take on lives of their own we are gearing up for a battle of epic proportions. Forget the drama of Mike Tyson biting off ears or the mystery of Don King's ever expanding volume of hair because that is nothing compared to the controversy and excitement that is generated in the videocard world. In the middleweight division of video cards we have but two contenders. Forget about the chest thumping Xabre or the some 2-bit integrated solution. When push comes to shove it comes down in the 200$ price range we have only two fighters contesting for undisputed value champion. In the red corner we have the ATI 9600 XT and in the green corner we have the NVidia 5700 Ultra. Each of the respective corners have been prepping for months for this showdown for the title of undisputed Holiday 2003 champion. Mon, 08 Dec, 2003 | 346 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
64-Bits in a Small Package (Shuttle SN85G4) [Review, ExtremeTech]
We've covered the Shuttle line of small form factor (sff) PCs in the past, and have generally liked what we saw. Shuttle has now added the recently released Athlon 64 3200+ to their mix of small form factor PCs. Given the 89W thermal envelope, the challenge of building a small case capable of adequately cooling the system is formidable. After all, a system builder will have to contend with not only the CPU, but the high performance video card that's likely to be part of the system.

Aspire X-Super Alien Case [Review, Overclockercafe]
We put up our Aspire X-Super Alien Case review late last night. As far as a fun gaming case or most any other need for that matter, it rocks the house. I'm still trying to figure which is the coolest part of the X-Super Alien, the case or the modded PSU that comes with it. Ultra hip and that's no joke!

5 Block Water-Block Shootout [Roundup, Monster-Hardware]
You must be asking “What is this review about?” well…I managed to pull together some really diverse groups in order to give you some wide range of reviews all rolled up into one. Now this shootout is not about how absolutely well these blocks work or how well they overclock but how they compare to each other on a level playing field and what I think of them. This way I can milk the really neat blocks for more material later ;-) ! Mon, 08 Dec, 2003 | 203 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

2GB Memory Kits : 1GB vs. 2GB [Review, tbreak]
Just a couple of years back, a system with 512MB RAM was almost considered high-end in the
memory specifications department. We now have that much RAM available in graphics cards. Even
1GB barely seems to cut it with demanding games, multimedia encoding and running multiple
applications at the same time. Keeping that in mind, we take a look at three 2GB memory kits-
by Corsair, OCZ and TwinMOS and find out which one we like best. Wed, 04 Jan, 2006 | 261 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Intel P4 Extreme Edition [Review, LostCircuits]
THE LATEST AND MOST EXTREME EDITION of the desktop Pentium4 more than triples the transistor count to throw in a whopping 178 million transisors, cramped into a 2 MB Level3 cache. With a die size of 237 mm2, the Extreme Edition goes back to the dimensions of the obsolete Willamette but it certainly packs a lot more power to the punch.

2500+ Mobile Barton Feature [Review, neoseeker]
The overclocking world was dealt a blow late last year when AMD began locking the multiplier of its top selling chip, the 2500+ Barton. While it is possible to still overclock the trusty Barton core by way of the front side bus it does have limits. An OC of 2.2 on a 2500+, which is equal to 3200+ in AMD terms, is still attainable at 11x200Mhz as long you have a decent board and RAM. However those that like to play with the multiplier to squeeze the juice harder have to look elsewhere now or look at modding the actual chip.

48x CDRW Combo: Optorite DC4801 vs LiteOn LTC4801H [Roundup, Cdr-info]
With the market full of new and fast DVD recorders, some people may think that buying a combo drive (one able to record CD's and read DVD's) is out of fashion. There are several reasons in favor of this argument, but there are also also several others against it. Combo drives offer high CD-R/RW recording and reading speeds, a fast DVD reading speed and are significantly cheaper than DVD recorders. If DVD writing is not your first need, then a combo drive is what you need. Wed, 06 Aug, 2003 | 191 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
