Published by Newsfactory 0

Anandtech.com have posted their review of nvidia's new GPU the GeForce4 4200 Go! Here's a byte.

The NV28M is the mobile variant to the NV28, just as the NV17M (GeForce4 440 Go) was the mobile variant to the NV17 (GeForce4 MX). What does being a mobile variant of the chip entail? In the case of the NV28M it means that the chip maintains 100% of the desktop NV28's hardware but incorporates power saving technology. The same 3D pipeline with dual vertex shaders; the same LMA II; the same AGP 8x support. Added to the core is PowerMizer and the ability to run at lower clock speeds and save power when possible

Creative Audigy Series Has HyperThreading Issues

Published by [PM] 4

According to tests performed at Ace's Hardware by editor Sander Sassen there are severe stuttering problems with the Audigy series when HyperThreading is enabled using Windows XP Pro SP1. I got the exact same specification of a system except that 3.06Ghz CPU so I cannot confirm the problems experienced. Rumour is that Creative is going to address this issue in a driver update. However it bothers me that they did not do this in the last update since Creative's driver politics is rather conservative (like 1 update a year if ever.)
