With modern motherboards continuing their push to the next level, it can sometimes be difficult to find memory that is up to the task. Come join TweakTown as they take a look at the newset offering from Corsair; namely their XMS3200 DDR Memory Modules. They're marketing it as capable of delivering DDR400 compatibility with CAS2 Latency Timings. That's a pretty big claim, so come join us as we find out if it can really perform at this level!

It looks sleek. Has just the right colour. Is roomy. Keeps cool. Is silent. I will show that the case can do all of that and much more. How's that for an introduction? Sounds like a sales pitch but kinda is. When I first spoke to Antec about doing a review on this case I pointed out that a lot of people said I coudn't keep my SCSI drives cool and that no case was able fit all of my junk. I disagreed and so did Antec Inc.

We can't substantiate those rumours at press time. But one reader said that he saw a 3.06GHz P4 for sale late Friday and rang the firm.

An Australian web site is apparently selling a 3GHz (3.06) Pentium 4, as you can see here, for AUS$1466 (~US$796) That, however, would mean that Intel has also brought forward the launch of chipsets that will support hyperthreading.

When you think about overclocking, one company comes right to mind: one of the first names you will hear is Thermalright. This is because they are one of the best heatsink companies around...

Want to know? what you would score in 3DMarks 2001SE and PCMark 2002 using AMD's new XP2800+ CPU with the new 333Mhz FSB on Nvidia nForce 2 chipset . Here's the system that was used!

Even though the nVidia Ti4200 GPU is getting to be old-hat, there are still a few tricks available for it. Come join TweakTown as they take a look at the Abit Ti4200 OTES Graphics Board and see exactly what we're talking about. With an innovative touch and some interesting results, there may just be a reason to look again at the affordable Ti4200 series of video card. Come see for yourself!

TNR has just put up a review on Abit?s IT7-MAX2 and Media XP. I believe we are the first site to review the Media XP and only one of several who have reviewed the IT7-MAX2. Here?s a snippet:

?I have owned an IT7-MAX for many months now. I?ve gotta say this has been one of the best boards I have ever owned. So when I got the new IT7-MAX2 I was somewhat hesitant to take out my MAX and put in the new board for fear that I would never again have the harmony with the universe I had enjoyed. Well, this soon passed and as you?ll see so did the MAX2"

Just spotted this @3dxtreme.org!

With all this talk on 3dXtreme about switching to Intel, I decided it was time to bring some AMD Excitement back in, and was able to get my hands on this 1800+ TBRED. These are TECHNICIALLY Mobile TBREDS used for Notebooks, but there really is no difference between the desktop and notebook version. Also the CPU came FACTORY UNLOCKED! Anyway, here are my results so far, and I want to emphasize, that this CPU was overclocked on air, with a Thermalright SLK-800 and a Mechatronics 80MM 53CFM Fan. I didn't need one of those damn loud Vantec Tornado's. Anyway, here are my results! I hit 195FSB as you can see.

Do you want to see Intel Celeron working at 3GHz? Do you want to find out how to add an extra 1GHz to the core clock of your Celeron processor? Can you imagine how fast it will be? Read about a unique overclocking experiment by a group of Russian enthusiasts in our report @Xbitlabs.com!

Crow @Darkcrow.co.kr the busy boy! Sends word that he has posted details and screenshots for the following cards ELSA, GLADIAC 518 GeForce4 MX440-8X , Inno3D TORNADO GeForce4 MX440 AGP 8X , and has posted an article where he takes a look Inside Nvidia's NV18 & GF4 MX 128MB Cards!

VR-Zone has done up a review on the Triplex NV18 card which is no doubt one of the nicest card around. Triplex has gone one step further to set the core and memory clock higher than official speed recommended by NVIDIA. The usage of the faster 2.8ns DDR SDRAM on budget card like the NV18 is definitely interesting. From the default core and memory speed at 300/600Mhz, i am able to overclock the card to 390/740Mhz!

Intel and Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) have decided to release B-version products for some of their chipsets in the fourth quarter to support the Hyper-Threading technology that will be introduced into the desktop processor market with the upcoming 3.06GHz Pentium 4.

TheTech Zone.com have posted a review of Xoxide's very cool looking acrylic PC case.



This case looks totally awesome, especially with lighted fans. I was very impressed with the five blowholes and great cooling performance. Putting the case together is not very hard at all. It only took me about an hour or so. I wish that the manual had been more detailed. I think that this case will be great for overclockers and gamers. Overall, I am very happy with this Acrylic PC tower.

Just got word that Nvchips-fr.com have a post up claiming that AMD will release the Athlon XP 2700+ and 2800+ supporting the new front bus speed of 333 MHz on October 1st 2002!

This is OPPAINTER, I learned how to post news here today, so look out world! :) XtremeSystems very own MrIcee and his Abit KX7 and Corsair memory have posted some of the highest Sandra memory benches I have ever seen with an AMD setup. Feel free to comment and let me know if there are any higher out there somewhere. This is old news but some great stuff.

Modfactor.com recently got an opportunity to review the all-in-one burner from Samsung. The SM-332 is a 32x10x40x CD-RW drive and it also can read DVD's at 12x. This is the perfect drive for anyone who really desires a burner and a DVD-Rom and is limited by the lack of slot space...

OK Peeps I've put this together with the help of the following sites: TweakTown, RivaStation and Darkcrow. Thanks for the news guys! Well let's start of with a screenshot of Leadtek's new WinFast A280 TD MyVIVO NV28.

As I get more info I will post it but for now Crow @ Darkcrow.co.kr sends word of a new graphics card that's going to be released by Suma.



I bet your wondering what's so special about this card. Well Hit Read More and check out the new DCS cooling system.
