VR-Zone has done up a review on the eVGA e-GeForce4 card based on the Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 GPU. eVGA has been touting about their new uniquely designed cooling concept called the ACS (Asymmetric Cooling System) so you should take a look at how it affects the overclockability of the card. Also one shall take a close look at the performance of this card against the GeForce3 Ti200.

Just got word from Tim@OverclockersClub.com that He's posted his XBags review! Here's a quote from his review: The CTSS and MTSS are two new products from Xbags. They allow you to carry you CPU, monitor and accessories. These product would be great for the LAN party goer or a service tech that needs their computer and monitor with them. With 3 pockets available to you I am sure you can find a place to stash almost anything. The large pocket on the CTSS can handle even the largest of keyboards, with room to spare.

Our buddies over @ EntCity.com have a review about the Gainward Pro/600 TV online.
Here's a scoop:Gainward has since 1984 been one of the big players in the graphics card industry, and it certainly doesn't make it worse as they have introduced products based on Nvidia's latest graphics chips, the Geforce4 series. Gainward has become one of the big players not just because they make ultra high quality products, but also because of their highly popular "Golden Sample" series. Head over by using the above link!

64MB EasyDisk Micro USB Hard drive review Easy disk is a very great idea, basically it is a large amount of storage that can be accessed thru any USB port. This means transferring files from one place to another doesn't involve small floppies, or both computers having a zip drive. These drives are also bootable so you could put your windows batch files, drivers and OS install utilities on it

CrystalFontz 20x4 LCD Display reviewed The last time I reviewed an LCD display was on the 24th of May, last year. I reviewed the Matrix Orbital LCD, and I was fairly happy with it, up until till it broke. I sent it back for repairs and they wanted about $60 bucks to fix it! What kind of warranty is that? I hope things go better with this CrystalFontz display. This display is a 20x4 display, which means it can have 4 lines with 20 characters across each line. It's fairly large, large enough to take up two 5.25" bays!

T-Break has posted their review of Hercules' AIW card. Hercules has recently switched from Nvidia GPUs to ATI and is now exclusively manufacturing those. Well what else is there to say than a snip of the review: Also, before we start the review, we would like to mention that about the only thing that's "Hercules" about this product is the box. Everything else including the card, the drivers CD and the manual is an actual ATI version. We were a bit disappointed about this as we were hoping for Hercules drivers and manuals, however, that will only happen when the high performance 8500 card is released by Hercules and not this all-in-wonder version. Basically, this product is exactly the same as an ATI Radeon 8500DV- the only difference being that it's inside a Hercules box instead of an ATI box. With that said, lets take a look at the specifications. Warp 2 the review

OverclockersClub.com have reviewed the value Gf2 MX solution from Abit. Here is a byte: Many of you may say, well its just a G2, but I have been using a Savage4 32mb 1x AGP card for over a year now. As the G4 is just coming out, I decided it was about time I got an ok video card before I jump to the newest thing out.

Ok peeps this is my last post for today, Got a new toy from work. I got to say wow thats a Big Fxxxxx screen.

Hello people,
I was going to bed until I saw... "Beta Detonator 27.70 Appeared!"
So I tested the drivers. I have used my post of the last comparison because nothing on my computer has changed so the score will be the same. I tested the following drivers against each other: 27.42 / 27.50 / 27.51 / 27.70. The testing program I used was 3DMark2001 SE under Windows XP. Click on Read More... if you want to see the results.

Dean B. Nottis Jr. from 3DXtreme informed me that they have finished their review of Lite-On's latest product. The fastest RW burner in the market today is designed and manufactured by Lite-On IT Corp. The drive (LITE-ON P/N: LTR-40125S) provides 40X maximum CD-R recording speed (Zone-CLV ); 12X maximum CD-RW recording speed (CLV); and an industry leading 48X CD-ROM reading speed. LTR-40125S is using Zone-CLV technology when recording CD-R media, which starts at 20X from the beginning. For a snip of the review and the link click on read more...

t-break has published a review for the Creative CD-MP3 player. Here's a bit from it: MP3 CD players have been in the market for quite some time- the first one I ever used was the Genica but it was buggy and ate batteries like it was its last day in existence. We have come quite a long way from the Genica and today, MP3 CD players work like a dream. Follow read more for the link.

CDFreaks have done a comparison review on two 24x CD-RW drives. Here's a bit: In this review we?ll directly compare the two nearly identical featured drives. Both Mitsumi and Lite-On are two very large manufacturers. While Lite-On being the largest producer of them it?s a very new brand on the retail market. Mitsumi has been around for quite some years now and should have some more experience. Let?s see how good these drives are compared to each other. Read more for the review link.

CNET editor Lori Grunin has taken the italian stallion among graphics editing software for a ride. This time it's the latest beta of the upcoming version 7. Here is a bite of what he/she found out: Every new version of Photoshop has delivered significant, noteworthy improvements. Witness: Photoshop 4.0 unveiled Layers and Actions; Photoshop 5.0 brought us the History Palette and Layer Styles; Photoshop 6.0 introduced Shapes. Hence, Photoshop 7.0's perfunctory, should-have-been-there-earlier enhancements, such as the new file browser, are a bit of a letdown. Based on our look at the beta, the final Photoshop 7.0 release won't be a must-have upgrade for all graphics professionals. But, as far as graphics apps go, Photoshop is still the best, most sophisticated image-editing software available. Photoshop 7 is scheduled for a release next quarter. One can find the full review @ CNET.

Hi folks, I compared the 27.51 against 27.42 (those drivers were the best for me!).
I don't have time for a big comparison.
I benchmarked it with 3DMark 2001 SE under Windows XP. Click on Read More... if you wanna see the results.

Just got word from Matt@OverclockersClub.com that Tim has posted up his review on the Backup My PC Software. Here's a quote from his review: Regular backups are something that is neglected by a lot of people. I know I was one of them! It might be because the backup software is to hard to use, doesn't include the options scheduling or is very limited on its features. Well, here comes Backup My PC from Stomp Inc. A very easy to use backup program that has all the features almost anyone could want.

Just got word that overclockersclub.com have completed a review on the Lian Li 70 case!! Here is a quote from the review: I must say, that this case is huge! I have seen pictures on the Internet, but pictures don't really show how big this case really is. When I compared it to my Full Tower In-win 500, it's 1/3rd bigger! Like they always say, "Bigger is Better" Since this case is bigger, your system shouldn't get as hot, as it has more room to breath.

Well this is a welcome read on Sunday morning - enjoying a cup of coffee. Digit-Life has received a Gigabyte sample of their Radeon 8500 based graphics board the Maya AP64D-H. The Gigabyte version comes with Hynix 3.6ns memory and is clocked at 275/275 Mhz. What almost makes me weep is that the Gigabyte board comes with such a decent & cool looking HSF solution:
The Maya AP64D-H HSF on close-up. Test were run in 3DMark 2001SE, RTCW, Q3A and so on...

I received an email from OCC that they have finished the review of this innovative new HSF: the Globalwin TAK68. It is a rather unorthodox looking design, but it incorporates some features that really make it shine. Here is a snip of the review: The double sided areas of fins allowed Global Win to use a very non traditional clip. This clip, without question is the best clip I have ever seen, heard of, or used. Not a little better but A LOT BETTER. I cannot over emphasis this. To install the sink, you clip the catches over the socket lugs. All six socket lugs I might add. So you guys with broken center lugs on your favorite mobo take notice. Once the clip is on, you tighten the knob on top of the heatsink. This simple screw presses down on the sinks top pulling the clip up to provide for a firm snug fit. Click on the pic to warp to the review.

Computer Chaos has just posted a review of the latest and greatest cooler from Thermaltake, the Volcano 7+.

Here's a snip: This new Thermaltake Volcano 7+ Heatsink comes with an Everflow variable speed 70 mm fan. This new fan setup allows us to choose between 3 different fan speeds. The 3 way switch attaches to a molex connector as well as the CPU fan header on your motherboard. I am curious to see just how quiet it is on the low speed setting in comparison to the 6000 rpm high speed setting, and how the performance will change with the varied fan speeds.

3dXtreme.org has a review about the eVGA Geforce4 MX 440 online.
Here´s a blurb:
While the Geforce4 MX 440 is directed towards the casual/budget gamer market there is no doubt that this card can perform. For the serious gamer I would suggest waiting for the release of the Geforce4 Ti 4600 with it's pixel and vertex shaders and full dx8.1 compliance. The difference being a hefty price tag. This card is a clear step up for any Geforce2 mx user looking to use full scene antialiasing in games and dual monitor support with the nView package. I have been using this card for almost a week now and even after hours of heavy gaming this card didn't miss a beat. I had been playing some extended late night sessions of Red Faction online and the Geforce4 mx 440 never crashed or faultered once. Even the suite of Geforce demos sent along by nVidia ran flawlessly Read the complete review

ExtremeTech has tested and benchmarked thirteen Pentium 4 DDR Motherboards.

There are already reviews online about the VisionTek Xtasy 6964, and for that matter reviews on the entire line up of the Xtasy offerings. So what is going to make mine different than all the rest? Well, I am going to be using the Digital connection rather than the Analog one. I have yet to see the performance of the card with anyone using the DVI connection. I am not going to be stacking this card up against any other Video Cards, but rather showing you what you can expect with a similar setup as the one I used in the tests, and the results of using the DVI connector.
