T-Break has published the review for Epox's latest KT333 chipset based motherboard- the 8K3A+. Here's a bit from the review: Epox gained quite a repudiation for overclocking with it's previous Athlon boards and the 8K3A+ follows the lead. You have the option of increasing the VCore all the way up to 2.25V and the memory voltage to an astonishing 3.4V. Combine this with FSB speeds upto 200MHz and you have a killer overclocking system.

VR-Zone has done up a review on the Inno3D Tornado card based on the Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 GPU. This card sports a brownish-black PCB and is equipped with a Silver Orb cooler. It is fitted with 4 x 16MB 4ns Samsung DDR memory which is above the memory specifications of the GF4 MX440 and they have managed to overclocked the card from 270/400Mhz to 320/500Mhz. Check out its performance against the GeForce3 Ti200.

This time we took Eizo's CRT Business Line top model to the test. CRT monitors still offer significant advantages compared to LCD flat screens when it comes to fast moving pictures e.g. when watching DVD's or DivX videos or when it comes to gaming. This advantage has its origin in the delay time that LCD crystals need to adjust themselves when stimulated by electric impulses which results in a blurry image when displaying fast moving content. The Eizo Flexscan F931 with it's 31.0kg weight is certainly one of the bigger if not one of the biggest competitors in the CRT monitor market but in our opinion is one of the most desirable one's because of it's excellent technological features like the capability to display a resolution of 1600 dots x 1200 lines flicker-free at 104 Hz which is most ergonomic and eye pleasing or the ability to connect two PC's to the monitor. If you now feel like your old 17'' CRT monitor has grown of ages maybe it's time to head for a bigger one. Warp 2 the review

T-Break has published a review of the Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500LE graphics card, based on the ATI Radeon 8500 chipset with a clock/core speed of 250MHz. Here's a bit from the review:
----------
We recently took a look at the ATI 8500DV card offered inside a Hercules box and we say that because it was literally that- an ATI card with an ATI manual and an ATI drivers CD inside a Hercules box. Although the card was very impressive - offering awesome features and pretty good performance, we were somewhat disappointed to NOT find "Hercules Inside." Thus, we sort of prepared ourselves when we got the call from the local distributor informing us of the arrival of a sales sample of the 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE.

CyberwizardPit breaks out with a review of the MSI-645Ultra motherboard from an end-user perspective that is uniquely different. Here's a snip :

"MSI offering of the 645 platform performs extremely well and very stable with no suprises throughout the testing phaze but a major bug in its AMI BIOS have somewhat hindered its overall score."

tbreak published a review of Gainward's GeForce 4 Ti4600 graphics card and compared it to the ASUS GF4 Ti4600. Here's a bit from the review:

----------

Gainward was a relatively unknown company until GeForce 2 came along. Since then, they've been extremely successful at producing "tweaked up" GeForce cards offering faster core and memory speeds. In-fact, their last GeForce3 card (Power Pack !!! Jumbo) was the first-ever card in the world to offer 128MB RAM on the card. Needless to say, they have gotten the full attention of the hard-core DIY enthusiasts who push for getting the maximum out of their system.

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 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.
