Review Quote: The question I raised to myself was; why do I need one? It would be like after jacking up my engine output only to put a fuel limiter so that it won’t go as fast. Well, not exactly, the rheobus acts as a throttle cable or linkage so that one could dial up or down the speed according to the traffic pattern.

OCIA.net checks out the Logitech MX510 Mouse in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review:

"One big feature I haven't mentioned is its amazing paint job.

Albatron PX875P Pro Canterwood Motherboard Review

Published by [NT] 0


Article Snippit:

"I've been running this Albatron board for several weeks now, having conducted quite a few stress tests and benchmarks, not to mention real world use… and of course some gaming. It hasn't faltered once, and I've been fairly impressed with it. The board is exceptionally well laid out, and pleasing to the eye.

From a technical perspective, it offers many nice features and is Prescott ready. It has some very good (albeit slightly hampered) overclocking options, and having been able to keep it stable at 266 FSB for a couple weeks without a single issue or reboot, I must say that I am impressed."

Linux Compatible has posted a review on Gnoppix 0.60 RC2. Gnoppix is a live Linux CD based on Knoppix and Debian Woody.

"I've been running on Mepis/Debian with the KDE and more recently the iceWM desktops. Lately I've been using a lot more Gnome apps. In many cases these seem to be more functional than their KDE equivalents, and, I started hearing that Gnome had improved considerably. When I heard that Gnoppix was a bootable Debian with a Gnome 2.4 desktop, I just had to try the new rc2 release."
