Thermaltake Soprano White Case
Think Computers :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“A while ago Thermaltake released the Soprano case. The case was a very nice case, but only came in 2 colors; black and silver. Black and silver are probably the 2 most common colors used on PC cases so they are a dime a dozen. Well Thermaltake has just released the White version of the case and I will definitely turn so heads. I mean how many cases do you know of that are all white? Thermaltake was also nice enough to send us the version of the case with a side window so let’s take a look!”

Icy Dock MB124E External Firewire 2.5″ Drive Enclosure Review
Big Bruin :: Monday, October 09, 2006
Although the aesthetics and acoustics earn it high marks, the Icy Dock MB124E falters when it comes to performance. Two reliable benchmarks indicate that the transfer rates provided by the MB124E are about half of what a USB 2.0 enclosure was capable of. Despite numerous attempts to improve the results with different conditions, configurations, and all-together different test systems, the results were consistently and unexplainably poor.

The Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard Review
Legit Reviews :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“Asus has brought a great performing board to the market for the AM2 socket in the form of the M2N32-SLI. The bundle itself makes this board stand out, as it comes with the wireless kit, and a few other goodies that are normally purchased after the fact. AS far as performance goes, the M2N32-SLI was right on par with the other two chipsets that we looked at. It led the way in quite a few of the benchmarks that we used, and when it did not score higher, it was very close to the same.”
ATI’s Stream Computing
Driver Heaven :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“Dave Orton kicked things off with an overview of the whole concept, and he put forward quite a realistic outlook on what it can and can not do. Far from being the best thing for every task out there, Orton started out saying how it may or may not apply to your workload. If the problem you have will map to a GPU, you can see speedups from 10x to 40x, a massive increase. Doing the same math purely on a CPU would take a very expensive computer.”

Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 945G Express Core 2 Duo Motherboard
PC Stats :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“The Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 motherboard is built around the newly Core 2 Duo compatible Intel 945G Express northbridge and ICH7 southbridge chipsets. The solution is ideal for cash-strapped consumers and not so great for AMD… The microATX board accommodates a maximum of 4GB of DDR2 400/533/667 memory in a dual channel configuration. The GA-945GM-S2 supports all existing Socket 775 processors on a 1066MHz FSB. On the short list of the GA-945GM-S2’s hardware goodies we find an integrated Gigabit network card, Intel Azalia High Definition 7.1-channel audio codec, four USB2.0 jacks, four 3GB/s SATA connections and of course the onboard Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 videocard at the rear I/O.”

Biostar Sigma Gate 7300GT 256MB DDRIII
Overclockers Online :: Monday, October 09, 2006
This is the second 7300GT I have reviewed in as many months and since the last was a DDRII model, I was expecting better performance out of the DDRIII model. Not only was the memory faster but the core also comes clocked higher out of the box. Despite this elevated expectation, the Biostar Sigma Gate 7300GT 256MB DDRIII never let me down in the slightest bit.
Knowing your Power Supply
Technibble :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“In this article we discuss the one component your whole computer depends on: the Power Supply Unit. Any computer, no matter how perfectly planned, prepared or assembled, will fail to boot, sputter, smoke and eventually die if connected to an inadequate, weak or just plain faulty power supply. Picking a decent power supply isn’t much of a science; however, knowing what voltages run through your computer is, and knowing it will come in handy once you start actually repairing, as it might indicate what exactly went wrong with the powersupply.”

PC Stats :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“The Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H is one of least expensive P965 Express motherboards out there. Onboard goodies include a PCI Express x1-based Gigabit network card and an Intel Azalia High Definition 7.1 channel audio codec.

ViewSonic VP2330wb review
Driver Heaven :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“It is amazing how fast things change in the world of PC components. Just 3 years ago I was quite happily running a 17inch screen with an Athlon XP 2600+, Geforce 5800 and 512mb (2x256mb) of memory and even using it as a review system here on DriverHeaven. Now this review system has a dual core CPU and 2 GB of ram, pretty much a standard configuration in the enthusiast community. It is fair to say that many users are still using a CRT with their system, so what exactly can a top of the range TFT bring to the table?”

Editorial: Why Vista means “GetaMac” 
Virtual Hideout :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“Here’s another stupid feature of “Search” in Vista. Say you are searching for some music (opera for example), but you also have a program called “Opera” that you happen to use as your internet browser. Vista will just assume that you want to run Opera.exe when you hit enter, and not do a search for it….”
