I got a mail from Slim of Tech-PC. The Abit BD7 Review, here's a snippet:
"The inclusion of 3 onboard USB 1.1 ports instead of the standard 2 is another added bonus, plus the very useful error code display and onboard power and reset switches give this board some rarely seen features. However the decision to leave out USB 2.0, Firewire, on board LAN, and the fact that the i845D chipset doesn't allow ATA133 means I can't give all my praise to the included features list, saying that this board is meant to be an overclockers board not an all in one solution. Still some of the more advanced features would have been nice." The midrange DDR Shootout, XP1600 v P-IV 1.6 on DDR Platforms, here's a snippet:
"With Intel dropping the prices of their latest offering, the P4 Northwood, you can now grab a DDR P4 system for little more than the AMD counterpart, making it a tough decision from the buyer's point of view. So what do you go for? In this review I compare two DDR systems - AMD's XP1600+ and its direct competitor, the Intel 1.6GHz Northwood. On paper they look fairly evenly matched. AMD's PR+ rating system tells us to expect the performance of a 1600MHz processor, whilst Intel's Northwood is a true 1600MHz." Click on Read More... for direct links to read the whole reviews.

t-break has published the review of the Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 which was launched in Singapore today. Here's a bit from the review:

The Jukebox was an original product and problems were bound to be associated with it. For example, the unit was big and bulky and navigation was cumbersome. We believe Creative has spent the last year or so listening, analyzing and developing the new version of Jukebox which is labeled version 3.0. In case you're wondering what happened to v2.0, that was just a small upgrade that increased the hard drive capacity from 6GB to 20GB.

The guys over at Entcity wrote a review about the Gainward Geforce4 PowerPack Ultra/750 XP Golden Sample. Here's a snip:This is a MONSTER cool card. The card is of very high quality, even the 2D RF filters of this card is much better than on other Geforce4 cards out there. So if you consider buying a GF4Ti card, but want exellent 2D in Windows, you can not miss this one in your considerations. Gainward PowerPack Ultra/750 XP Golden Sample has tons of features, and more than good enough software bundle. Head over by using the above link.

Here's some new hardware reviews from VR-Zone.

Triplex Millennium Silver GF4 Ti4600 Preview: This card is based on a shiny silver PCB which not only looks cool on appearance but runs cooler and emits lower EMI too as claim by Triplex. The card is kept in a cooling looking silver suitcase and comes with 128MB of DDR SDRAM, DVI Out and TV out connectors.

High Performance DDR SDRAM: This time we took Corsair, Mushkin, Samsung, KingMax, Micron and Winbond for a spin. The competition is really intense as only the best DDR SDRAM are included but it is interesting to see who finally emerged as cream of the crop. We have used the EPoX 8K3A+ and done some very high FSB overclocking of over 200Mhz and stress test the memories using most aggressive memory settings of 2-2-2-5-1. Some make it and some don't.

I tested the next drivers: 28.32, 28.35 & 28.80 against eachother with 3DMark2001 SE Under Windows XP Pro. And i can say that the driver is getting better every release. (So Far..) Click on Read More... to see the results!

Just got word from Haddad@3dspotlight.com that they have posted their Visiontek GeForce4 Ti4600 & Ti4400 review! Here's what he's saying.

Visiontek has rapidly become one of the main videocard manufacturers in the US and for a reason. We put their high-end GeForce4 Ti videocards to the test and the result is an extensive review covering overall in-the-box impressions, a GF4 technology brief, overclocking, performance and visual quality comparison in different platforms and a bit on Antialiasing performance loss and the new 4xS mode available on the GF4...

We have written a review about the brand new AL-555 case. This case isn´t available in europe at the moment but we received an exclusive review example. The AL-555 from GSM-International is a very special high-end case. The case is build for design focused customers, as well as for the geek who needs a good case for overclocking reasons. The case looks similar to products from Lian Li, but it has nice additional features which make the case unique. The case is made of an aluminium-magnesium alloy which guarantees a very good thermal dissipation. Read the review by clicking here

Just saw this @ NeoWin.Net

Here is a collection of over 1000+ reviews of various motherboards, compiled by those nice people @ 8dimensional. Well worth a read if you want to buy a new motherboard - almost 4+ reviews per motherboard.

PCStats has a new review online and let me tell you this TFT display will make you go Ohhh and Ahhh as well as I want one now!. The 171P Syncmaster display from Samsung is a 17" LCD monitor designed by brilliant minds at F.A. Porsche. This is the same "Porsche" which is responsible for the 911 and other iconic cars.

Just got word from Tim that he's just finished his review of the Antec SX-635 computer case. Here's what he's saying:

Though the SX-635 is smaller then its bigger brother, its still no feather-weight. An empty SX-635 weights in at 23 pounds and that number only goes up once you start adding components. Still, all that weight is worth it.

Note if their site is running slow that's cos they were " Site of the Nite " on TechTV the ScreenSavers last night and it's making their server slow too a crawl. Hit read more for the case reviw.

Just got word from Dave that he's just finished the second half of his ATI Radeon 8500 review. Here's what he's saying.

I've completed a second part of our in-depth review / investigation of Radeon 8500 at Beyond 3D. In this part I have a look at Pixel Shaders, TRUFORM, HyperZII (with a look at the operations of 8500's Hierarchical-Z buffer) as well as OpenGL SSE2 Driver optimisation, AGP and development driver tests.

Just got word that Tim has completed a review on a USB 2.0 5-port PCI Host Card. Here is a quote from his review:

Looking for USB speeds up to 480Mbps and backwards compatibility. Then you have found USB 2.0! Firewire provides great speeds of up to 400Mbps. But, there are very few firewire products on the market. It just seams that almost everything these days has USB 1.1 and more recently USB 2.0 compatibility. Today we are looking at a USB 2.0 host card from XPCGEAR.COM. Which provides 5 USB ports that support USB 2.0 specifications to your computer.

Just got word from DarkCrow that they have tested Gainward's entire range of GeForce 3/4 cards!

Gainward Ultra/750XP GS GeForce4 Ti4600.
Gainward Ultra/750XP SV GeForce4 Ti4600.
Gainward Ultra/700XP GS GeForce4 Ti4400.
Gainward Pro/600 TV GS GeForce4 MX440.
Gainward Ti/550XP GeForce3 Ti500-- Quadro Jumper.
Gainward Ti/450XP GS GeForce3 Ti200 -- Quadro Jumper.

Gainward Ti/500 XP GS GeForce2 Ti.

Using the following Benchmarks Comanche4, 3Dmark2001/2000, SPECviewperf etc and they have included something called What is Golden Sample vs Silver? (small bug of utility) Expert Enhanced Mode clock indicator & Nvidia coolbit clock indicator!

3DExteme has taken a look at the Lian Li PC-75 aluminium case. Here's a bit: The Lian Li pc-75 has made all of my other cases obsolete and has replaced my Lian Li pc-65 usb as my main rig case. Working on the pc-75 has been as easy as the smaller case with a removable tray. There is so much room to work inside I am able to swap everything from coolers to peripheral cards without being obstructed at all. If you're looking for a stylish case with unlimited modding possibilites or a server case that will keep your system running cool then look no further.

Just got word from Haddad that they have just posted their review of the FIC VC15 i845 DDR motherboard. Here's what he's saying:

Intel's 845 chipset is to some "the next BX", offering unsurpassed stability at a reasonable price. With so many different choices in chipsets, types of ram, and different brands, picking out a motherboard for your Pentium 4 is no easy task.

This time around we are checking out FIC's VC15 motherboard, coupled with a potentially overclockable P4 Northwood 1.6a, we will see if FIC manages to impress us this time...

VR-Zone has done up a review on the AOpen AK77-333 board based on the VIA KT333CE chipset.

This board sports a sleek black PCB with a silver chipset cooler and support nice features such as ATA133, Realtek 6 Channel Audio, USB 2.0 and up to 8 USB ports! We have check out in detail the features, BIOS, overclockability and performance and pit it against the fastest KT333 boards out there.

The guys over @ Guru3D have updated there Detonator Performance Database.
