Pentium 4 finds harmony with Dual Channel DDR: Today Intel will announce its E7205 codename Granite Bay chipset for the Pentium 4 platform. The main highlight in the newest product to come out of Santa Clara is its Dual Channel DDR-266 memory controller, bringing the maximum theoretical system bandwidth up to 4.2GB/s compared to only 2.1GB/s of its single channel PC2100 DDR predecessor. Follow Cameron "Mr.TweakTown" Wilmot as he gives us his thoughts on the subject!

For many, the desire to have TV capabilities on the PC is great. But there can be a lot of compatibility problems when using an internal TV tuner device. Come join TweakTown as they take a look at the Prolink PlayTV Box which eliminates these compatibility issues once and for all. Could it be that this is just the ticket? Come see for yourself!

Techseekers.net have reviewed the Gigabyte GA-7VAX board. The Gigabyte GA-7VAX is a competent board. For those that do not need RAID it is an ideal platform for 266Mhz or 333Mhz based Athlons. If you have a KT333 based board already then there is no benefit in upgrading to this board. DDR400 and 8x AGP would not be good reasons to upgrade your Athlon system as the Athlon is unable to take advantage of any "HighSpeed" memory (DDR400 or DDR433) unless insanely overclocked. And 8X AGP is nothing to sing and dance about at the moment either. Although with the Radeon 9700 Pro we experience no stability issues whatsoever.

Anandtech has another fine review online for your scanning eyes. Nvidia is taking the mobile performance crown back from ATI's Radeon Mobility 9000. Here is a snip: Today NVIDIA responds to the ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, a chip launched at the end of August that has already found its way into twenty shipping notebook machines. NVIDIA's answer is the NV28M based GeForce4 4200 Go, a mobile version of the NV28 core. The GeForce4 4200 Go does more than just include the full feature set of the desktop NV28 core used in the GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x; it also incorporates the power saving technology that is so important for notebook machines.

The Pentium 4 processor at 3.06GHz is here and it certainly means business not only breaking the impressive 3GHz barrier but sporting a new technology called Hyper-Threading (HT). Wouldn't it be nice to have dual processing support from a single processor? Well in theory, at least, you can with the latest processor from Intel. Read on as we have listed all current reviews that take us on a discovery of the Pentium 4 3.06GHz processor to determine whether or not HT and a little extra core speed boast is worth our upgrading dollars or not.

Aselabs Xoxide X40 Blackbox Case Review: At around $80, this case is simply a great deal. I really do consider this a medium to high-end case, and for the price, I feel it is worth it. To really highlight this case, you'll need some sort of lighting, which is very simple to find. With the front USB connections and the really awesome front light up design, I have to really recommend this case!

OCIA has posted a review on the newly released ThermalRight SK7 Heatsink, a follow-up to the ever popular SK6. Will this cooler offer the same level of performance ThermalRight earned with the SK6 series, or is this simply a clever marketing gimmick to take advantage of the SK6's popularity?

The Pentium 4 processor line has been with us for sometime now and has matured into quite the profitable making product for Intel after its rather shaky inception. Now we have the top 3 chipset manufacturers creating chipset solutions for the processor. One which has begun to stand out in the crown is SiS with their solid 648 chipset. Today Cameron "Sov" Johnson presents us with a roundup of three budget motherboards based on this very chipset from MSI, Gigabyte and ECS.

PCMag has taken a short look at Sony's latest all in one solution. The complete PC is powered by an 1.6Ghz Intel Celeron processor, 512Mbyte DDR 2100 RAM, SiS650 integrated graphics chipset, 60Gbyte ATA100 HDD, CD-RW/DVD drives and 15.3'' WXGA wide aspect ration LCD. Really looks awesome and somehow reminds me of Bang&Olufsen. However this is an office/internet machine but I neeeed one for my living room now!

VR-Zone has posted a review on the Chaintech 7NJS board based on the nForce2 chipset which is the first board from the new ZENITH series, a more powerful solution over the current APOGEE series.

Just got word from VR-Zone.com that they have posted their FIC AN19E Mainboard review, a AMD board based on VIA'S KT400 chipset.

The FIC AN19E is definitely a board that should be looked into by any enthusiast that is looking at the KT400 chipset. FIC is definitely improving their image as a company geared towards all segments of the market, not only the low and mid ranged portions. A very expandable board with all the features a user would want are just some of the characteristics of the AN19E. Along with being extremely stable, the board performs up to par with other KT400 boards, but in a few benchmarks, the older KT333 chipset does outperform the new KT400.

The guys over Gamersdepot have posted a nice P4 2.2Ghz Laptop Shootout. The laptops used in the shootout were Compaq 2810T ($3276.99) and Dell Inspiron 8200 ($3129.00). Gamersdepot: "In this review we're looking at the latest from both companies ? each coming with the latest in mobile technologies. The Compaq Presario 2810T is stacked to the rafters with features and styling that make it a viable contender for your dollar. On the other hand, the Dell Inspiron 8200's latest build is nothing to pass up either. Built on one of the fastest mobile chips around, either one would make heads turn at the next LAN party you attend." In terms of price there is not much difference in them. So what aspect does make them different from each other? For specs on laptops and review link click Read More.
