Asus P5W DH & Retail Conroe BIOS Issues
Overclock 3d :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
There have been several threads in various forums around the internet telling P5W DH owners that they need to ‘hot-flash’ their motherboards or use another LGA775 chip in the motherboard to get the latest BIOS installed, however this is not the case…
Switt To Do List Version 5.10
Bjorn 3d :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
Software vendors saw this handwriting on the wall several years ago and began to develop products that ranged from simple to-do lists to full blown project management software. In most cases the delivered products were either way to simplistic to extend much beyond a typed version of the hand scripted list I alluded to above, or they were so feature laden with such a steep learning curve that they literally took months to master. Another flaw with these products was that few would bridge the gap from your simple project needs at home to your more complex needs in your work environment. Cost also had to be factored into this equation with the better packages being somewhat cost prohibitive.
Vizo Mirrorbox 32-in-1 Card Reader
Techgage :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
Media cards are becoming commonplace, we see them more and more every day. They’re found in cameras, MP3 players and now even in some cell phones, car stereos and gaming appliances. If you’ve got more than one format you’re stuck with a tough choice, either use the method of transfering data provided with each device or buy a multi-card reader.
Intel’s Core2 Duo Processors (LostCircuits)
Lost Circuits :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
After years of senseless netbursting against a frequency wall, Intel is finally going back to real processing with their latest creation dubbed Core 2 architecture. Based on the original design of the Pentium3 with the additional features of dynamic wide execution and a cache that is truly shared between cores, the new processor family has at least on paper what it takes to overcome some of the legacies of the PSB interface. Intelligent prefetching of data further masks some of the memory access latencies and smart power management does the rest to indicate a 180 degree turnaround from the klutzy P4 architecture we had to endure for half a decade.
BenQ FP202W Monitor
Bytesector :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
“BenQ’s put out some impressive monitors and now have taken it a step, um, larger. The FP202W is BenQ’s attempt at a 20″monitor, and a very successful one at that. It delivers a superb performance, focusing on the basics and getting them almost perfect. Compared to other monitors in the 20″range, the FP202W appears a little limited. Most notably, there are no USB ports built in to the monitor and it only supports VGA and DVI inputs. (I was also happy to see that no speakers were included.)”
What is Net Neutrality?
PC Mech :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
The principle of neutrality is not new. It is the basis for the Common Carrier laws governing telecommunication for decades. Without neutrality, it would have been impossible for a customer of one telephone company to call a customer of a rival telephone company. Since its inception, the Intenet has worked the same way – you can access Yahoo’s site even if Yahoo and you subscribe to rival Internet service providers.

Cool Tech Zone :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
“Not too long ago we evaluated Kensington’s Stereo Dock for iPod, which essentially lets you connect Apple’s iPod to the stereo and listen to music without needing a pair of earphones or headphones. Obviously this is a great option for iPod admirers, since you can then share your music at social events with your friends and family members. All in all, it’s a good product and we recommend it to anyone who is looking for an iPod dock.”
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX vs. 7950 GX2
techPowerUp! :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
The GeForce 7950GX2 is NVIDIA’s current high-end offering. While this card is based on the GeForce 7900GX2 used in Quad SLI systems, the 7950GX2 is just as long as a 7900GTX and currently meant to be used as a single card, replacing the 7900GTX. It offers a great performance boost while currently costing just about as much as the 7900GTX at launch. We run it through the benchmarks, to see what the card will deliver.

Corsair TWIN2X512-8500 Memory
Viper Lair :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
“The Corsair TWIN2X-8500 is a strong performer at both high frequency and low latencies. Basically, depending on your needs, the ram can easily switch between the two options. To be truthful, the main market for this memory is going to be users with 1066MHz CPUs so that they can run their memory 1:1. That said, I think overall you’ll see better numbers if you can tighten the timings at the expense of a slightly lower clock speed.”
Best sub $100 videocard? GeForce 7300GT vs. Radeon X1600 Pro
Tech Spot :: Saturday, August 19, 2006
“On paper the Radeon appears to have the edge since the 7300GT features just 8 pixel pipelines, 1 texture mapping unit and 4 vertex processing units. The GeForce 7300GT also only features a core clock frequency of 350MHz and 667MHz for the DDR memory. The end result is a theoretical 2GB/s memory bandwidth disadvantage for the GeForce.

Tech In-Depth: ATI HyperMemory & nVidia TurboCache
PC Mech :: Friday, August 18, 2006
Since the release of PCI-Express, the two graphics giants, nVidia and ATI, have picked up their pace of releasing new graphics solutions for all users. Specifically, the innovations of key technologies were not reserved for simply the high-end graphics users. nVidia and ATI started catering more and more to low-end consumers. For most of the graphics card industry’s short life, manufacturers have deemed making a card is too expensive for those who do not have deep pockets. Because of problems associated with manufacturing costs, manufacturers often crippled low-end graphics card chips.
