Aspire Chameleon 550 Watt PSU Review

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 12/24/2004 03:54 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] · 2562 views

OCIA.net has posted a review of the Aspire Chameleon 550 Watt PSU! Here's a snip.

In the above picture, you can see that the power cord "bracket" as well as the "on / off" switch have been constructed of green UV reactive material, fitting in with the overall theme of the power supply. To the upper left of the power switch is the adjustable fan speed controller, which controls the 120mm clear LED fan mounted on the underside of the power supply. Below the fan controller is the 115 / 220 voltage selection switch. To the right of this switch we have another switch with three different color settings. This switch actually controls the LED color of the 120mm fan.

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 11/04/2004 01:25 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] · 2192 views

The French website X86 Secret have thrown up their exclusive look at DFI's Pentium M 855gme-mgf mainboard! Here's a quick translation by Google.

Firstly, this chart is this time at the format Microphone-ATX and can thus function in a standard case. Admittedly the number of port NCV available is divided by two compared to a standard chart ATX, but the functionalities annex are with go. Indeed, this chart is structured around the couple i855GME/6300ESB and not around the traditional couple i855GME/ICH4. The ICH4 being indeed more than growing old and SATA lack, it is a southbridge 6300ESB, used by the waiters and compatible with the i855GME, which was used. This component is in fact a controller ICH5 equipped with a management of the NCV-X. This is why the chart comprises a slot NCV-X.

Back on Friday, July 18th we reported that Microsoft had released an updated version of the performance trace visualization tool BootVis.

SiSoftware To Apply Significant Update To Next Sandra Version

Posted by: [PM] on: 07/21/2003 02:25 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] · 3589 views

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. The tool is critically acclaimed and used in about every hardware review you'll read in PC IT journalism when CPU's, motherboards or memory sticks are involved. Warp2Search is an enlisted member of the SiSoftware Sandra beta program. Intensive testing on our own machines revealed that Sandra 9.44 and even the latest version Sandra MAX3 deliver inconsistent benchmark results on Intel Pentium 4 Hyperthreading capable CPU's using the CPU Arythmetic Benchmark. We have informed SiSoftware about our findings and continued to work with Adrian Silasi of SiSoftware to get to the bottom of the problem.
