Today Beyond3D is looking at ASUS?s V9180 Video Suite GeForce4 MX440-8x Card, based on the newer NV18 NVIDIA graphics core?...here's a snip.

Not so long ago NVIDIA did a small refresh to the GeForce4 line, upgrading them to support the new AGP8X graphics interface bus, thus doubling the available bandwidth, in comparison to AGP4X, from the host memory and CPU to the graphics card. The NV25 chip that powered GeForce4 Ti became NV28 and the NV17 chip that was GeForce4 MX moves up to NV18

A wireless optical mouse for $20. This will bring wireless optical to the masses and it really works!

It seems that every time you turn around, someone has another HSF to offer. To be honest, it is getting harder to tell which are good and which are not. Come join TweakTown as they take a look at the Cooler Master HAC-V81 HSF, or XDream for short. Our friends in Hong Kong have thrown together another in a long line of sinks, but this one costs a lot less than some others available. Could this low cost cooler be right for your rig?

Just got word that the guys over @ FiringSquad have posted their review of Sapphiretech's new Atlantis 9700 Pro "Ultimate Edition" graphics card! Here's a snip.

All of that ?active cooling? business goes out the window with Sapphire?s ATLANTIS PRO Ultimate, as the card?s most distinguishing characteristic is its biggest feature. That is, Sapphire has implemented an oversized passive cooler to compensate for the absence of a cooling fan. It isn?t just any cooler, either. The card features Zalman?s ZM80 series VGA Heat Pipe Cooler. The heat sink assembly is comprised of a large front and a comparably sized back section. A gold plated copper heat pipe connects the two sections, transferring heat through a constant condensation ? evaporation cycle

The original nForce chipset from Nvidia did not turn out to be much of a success for the then new player in the chipset sector. Nvidia have since learned from their mistakes and given us the nForce2 dual channel DDR-333 and DDR-400 chipset for the AMD Athlon platform. Today TweakTown gives us a full run down on Chaintech's feature-packed Zenith 7NJS nForce2 based motherboard. Read on and find out all about it.

The Steelpad has some good and some bad sides. One of the good things about it is the material it?s made of, aluminium. Another good thing is that the pad looks very cool! One of the downsides of the pad is the noise, the pad makes lot?s of noise when you?re moving your mouse on it. And then another thing , which is good and bad together :p , the pad always feels cold. This would be very good in summer but now in winter it feels too cold.

Just got word from YougCrow @Darkcrow.co.kr that they have posted the world's first review of ATI's All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro graphics card and I think he's right! Note that the review is in Korean but he's working on a English translation.

Mr. Hilton Poon has a Sapphire Technologies Radeon 9000 Pro 64mb DDR video card for us as the latest entrant in the GE Review Contest.

The guys over @ Overclockers.co.nz have posted their review of Triplex's Millennium Silver GeForce 4 Ti4600! Now if I wasn't waiting for the Geforce Fx this would be the Nvidia graphics card I would choice! Here's a snip.

The highest working speed is 320Core/760Memory. I was not able to push the speed any higher without random lock ups. This is pretty average among the Ti-4600 cards with similar specifications.

Today Beyond3D rounds up a few ASUS P4 boards and puts them through their paces! there looking at ASUS?s P4PE, P4GE-V and P4S8X motherboards?here's a snip

Even though the 845PE chipset offers integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN support, ASUS have opted to go one further here and offer BroadCom's Gigabit LAN controller. The Intel chipset doesn't natively support IEEE1394 and so ASUS have included VIA's VT6307 IEEE1394 controller so that the motherboard has this functionality. Also on hand is a Promise Serial ATA controller offering support for up to two Serial ATA ports.

CompUSA has got into the modding scene in full force. Check out this great Red cold cathode for $20

Just got word that the german website ATi-News.de have posted their review fo Elsa's Gladiac 9700 Pro garphics card!

Just got word that Computer Chaos have posted their review, which looks @ a sweet new mouse from Logitech: the MX500 optical mouse for those that can't afford the MX700 cordless optical mouse like me...

The comfort and feel of this mouse is very nice. One way we can think of supplying a comparison would be to say that the difference in speed and accuracy provided by this mouse compares to the difference in moving from a cloth mouse pad to a quality mousing surface. If you are editing graphics you will find the precision of the optical sensors far superior to earlier mice. If you are fragging your buddies ass online you should find improved accuracy and movement so it should give you a couple extra frags here and there.

Just got word that The Naked Review have posted their review of Matrix's Orbital BLK202A-WB-4BR LCD display! Here's a snip.

My first impression was this thing is very well built. Everything was wrapped nicely and the LCD and panel had no defects or scratches of any kind. That's what I like to see. More than that though, it simply looked awesome

VR-Zone has done up a review on the new IWILL P4GB board based on the E7205 (Granite Bay) chipset featuring support for Dual Channel DDR266, AGP8X, Hyper-Threading, IEEE1394, 5.1 Channel Audio and Gigabit Ethernet. Iwill has followed Intel's recommendations for this chipset been an Entry-level Workstation. Being a workstation board, it comes with less "features" but with other components to increase stability. Iwill P4GB runs on 24pin/8pin power supply or EPS ( Extended Power Supply) like most of the other higher end Dual Xeon boards do.

There appear to be a few people who WANT SOME PRIZES! We've got a double-shot of reviews stemming from the contest.

Just got word that The Naked Review have posted their review of Abit's Geforce4 ti/4200 OTES Siluro video card! Here's a snip.

Today I am going to talk about a relatively new card out in the market from Abit. This card is based on the nVidia Geforce 4 Ti/4200 GPU. The card has 64MB of 128-bit DDR memory. It comes on a nice looking blue PCB. Sounds like a nice version of your average Ti/4200 based video card, right? Well, this card is anything but normal.

I was just over @THG and I noticed that they have posted a special Hyper-Threading Supplement

See the latest THG video pitting a 3 GHz P4 with HT against a 3.6 GHz P4 without HT. More benchmarks, links, and information on Hyper-Threading...

The Intel 3.6 GHz P4 is nothing more than an unlocked P4 which they overclocked! but they say We have a Pentium 4 in the lab that is completely unlocked. it's still makes it possible to choose a multiplier of any value as desired (higher and lower values), as long as you make the necessary manipulations to the core voltage on the motherboard. the results of a Pentium 4 3.6 GHz (at standard FSB clock) are still valid Yeah right so stay Tuned for OUR 4.4ghz CPU review next week....Hehe

Today Beyond3D?s Marco looks at one of the newer AMD CPU's; the XP2400+.

Officially only the 2700+ and 2800+ are supporting the new 333MHz FSB. Marco looks in his article if it is possible to use this new FSB with the AMD XP2400+.
