VIAHardware has a decent review of the new RED MSI VIAKT266A solution: MSI has brought us yet another great board with an abundance of features and support for future technologies. While most companies would?ve just dropped in a KT266A northbridge into their existing designs, MSI decided to distinguish their KT266A board from its predecessors and competing boards. Beyond the red PCB, the K7T266 Pro2 is truly a unique board. In terms of features, no KT266A board has yet been able to match the feature list of the K7T266 Pro2. With the option for 4 USB 2.0 ports, MSI is the first to the market with a USB 2.0 option on their motherboards. Check out the full review via above link.

GotApex have received the VERY first images of 3DPOWER's new POSEIDON. The Poseidon is the first and only water cooling solution ever to be offered by any company as an upgrade to their graphics card.

The Poseidon is revolutionary in design in that the water block is a one piece block that will cover both the memory and the GPU. In addition, the GPU and memory will be flush with copper inlays to assure optimal heat transfer. Every unit will ship with the very popular Arctic Silver II thermal grease. 3DPOWER also states that the Poseidon was designed from the ground up to fit most GeForce3 and GeForce3 Ti500 cards.

So warp to GotApex and check it out! All I can say is WOW!

Here's some news from Xbit Labs. It turns out that any non-4x AGP card must not be installed in the new Intel motherboards, otherwise the voltage level will fry it. Well-known graphics maker, PowerColor, made a very menacing warning today: at any rate do not install any graphics cards, which have no support for AGP 4x, into i845 and i850 based mainboards. Otherwise, the AGP slot of your mainboard will be irretrievably damaged because of the too high voltage (AGP 2x 3.3V, AGP 4x – 1.5V). Here is a list of graphics cards, which should never be installed into i845 and i850 based mainboards (PowerColor stressed that this list might be incomplete, so be careful: Any cards on NVIDIA Vanta and Vanta LT; All cards on SiS 6326; Cards on Savage4 chips up to revision 3.0 (not including rev. 3.0); All Voodoo3 graphics cards.

Release notes

AMDMD have posted their review of the new AMD Athlon XP 1800+ prcocessor.

Here's a bite from their review:

The improved core REALLY shows up here; the 1.533GHz Athlon 1800+ is a whopping 69% faster than the 1.33GHz T-Bird core Athlon, and a bit more than twice the speed of the P4-2GHz.

So warp to AMDMD and get the low down on AMD's new king of prcocessors.

PhilsPCMods have posted a review of the NewQ Platinum.

Here's a byte from their review:

Before we get into the review, you might be asking what the NewQ Platinum actually is. Well, it's basically a graphic equalizer for your PC. It has a few preset 'effects' that it can add to the sounds generated by your PC, and can also be used as a radio tuner.

So warp to PhilsPCMods for the full NewQ Platinum Review.

Now that the availability in stores is imminent a couple of reviews pop up. As far as performance is concerned the boards sit tightly together. Users have to decide which brand to choose and it will probably all come down to the different feature sets the mobos provide, e.g. if they offer RAID or not. Shuttle AK31 v3.1 Review @ Techhard

Anandtech has a 12 page review of SiS's latest offering for Intels Pentium4. This chipset offers DDR 333 support. Intel fans check this snippet: Until recently, most motherboard manufacturers have only been able to take a "wait and see" stance on the issue of 3rd party chipsets for the Pentium 4 platform. In a move very reminiscent of their earlier launch of the 735 chipset, SiS has stepped up to the plate and offered motherboard manufacturers a very attractive solution. The 645 chipset is SiS' answer to the P4X266; and after recently going to production many manufacturers are finding themselves instantly attracted to it as it is the first Pentium 4 chipset to receive an official license from Intel. As if legality wasn't enough, the SiS 645 officially supports DDR333 SDRAM; giving the Pentium 4 another 25% of what it likes the most: memory bandwidth.
