Gigabyte’s GA965-S3 Review
Fast Silicon :: Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Gigabyte’s GA965-S3 mainboard is a decent and serviceable basic mainboard. It’s price won’t break the bank, and might leave you some additional funds to buy other components and get the system you want built at the price you can afford. Still, I have to wonder what in the heck Gigabyte was thinking when they released this board’s BIOS. Wacky BIOS settings aside, it’s a good serviceable mainboard, that can get you a decent system and a decent overclock with very little money.

Zalman Reserator 2 Water Cooling System Review 
Tweak News :: Tuesday, October 24, 2006
“With the introduction of the Reserator 2, Zalman has taken a great product and made it even better. They’ve addressed a number of issues that I found annoying in the earlier versions and improved the performance dramatically. I like the new look a lot and the enhanced cooling is augmented by new safety features that make the Reserator 2 an outstanding product.

With all the advancements in computer technology over the years, computer components are running hotter and hotter requiring higher performance (louder) cooling solutions to keep the heat monster at bay. This seems to be more of a problem with today’s performance video cards where video card vendors are out fitting their cards with cooling solutions that will rival your home vacuum cleaner in the noise department.

AMD Technology on Ferrari Formula 1 Cars
Hardware Secrets :: AMD Technology on Ferrari Formula 1 Cars
“If you pay close attention to Ferrari F1 cars driven by Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa (and, before him, Rubens Barrichello) you will notice an AMD logo on the tail. For the majority this simply means that AMD is paying to run an ad on Ferrari cars, but that isn’t the case. They are also providing the technology infrastructure for the car’s telemetry system, which collects data in real time and send to Ferrari team during the races, so they can check in real time if something is going wrong and also instruct the driver of corrections he should make in the way he is driving in order to achieve a higher performance during the race. The collected data are also collected for posterior analysis. We were invited by AMD to check out this impressive electronics system in person by visiting Ferrari’s boxes during the preparation of the last race of the 2006 F1 World Championship that will happen next weekend. Let’s talk more about this thrilling experience.”
ATI’s Radeon X1950 Pro graphics card reviewed at TR
The Tech Report :: Monday, October 23, 2006
Fortunately, the new product ATI is unveiling today brings with it good news in several forms: the Radeon X1950 Pro is a strong new contender at the value-oriented $199 price point, and it’s based on a brand-new mid-range GPU. ATI hasn’t had the best of luck with mid-range graphics processors, but it looks like that’s about to change. What’s more, this new graphics processor at long last incorporates CrossFire capability directly into the GPU. Gone are the external dongles and proprietary CrossFire Edition graphics cards, replaced by simple, SLI-like bridge connectors between the cards.

PowerColor Radeon X1950 PRO 512MB DHCP Preview
MVK Tech :: Monday, October 23, 2006
“A bit over a month ago we saw the introduction of the first graphics card featuring the high speed GDDR4 memory chips with the launch of the Radeon X1950 XTX accelerator. At the same time the CrossFire edition was announced featuring the same clock rates as the XTX version. In the meantime ATI hasn’t been waiting for the next big thing to happen. Instead they have been working hard on expanding the Radeon X1950 series with a slightly slower version. This to go up against the GeForce 7900 GS which hasn’t found its match when looking at a price and performance index. To regain its position, ATI has designed and released the Radeon X1950 PRO edition.”

Asrock ConroeXFire-eSATA2 Motherboard
Pro-Clockers :: Monday, October 23, 2006
Back when Core2 Duo was released the only supported chipsets were the Intel 965 and higher end 975. The sheer thought of any other Intel chipset supporting this processor was unheard of. But you can leave it up to Asrock to think of the unthinkable and actually accomplish it. You can pretty much say that they are known for doing just this. They took the aged 945 chipset and made it completely compatible with Conroe and Allendale.

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro CrossFire GPU Review
Legit Reviews :: Monday, October 23, 2006
“ATI has clocked the core on the X1950 Pro at 575MHz and the 256MB of GDDR3 memory at 1.38GHz, which are aggressive for a card with a $199 price tag. The core on the X1950 PRO is manufactured on an 80nm fabrication process, and is completely different in almost every way imaginable from the existing Radeon X1950 video cards as we will show you later in this article. ATI has been impressed by the cores made on the 80nm process and told Legit Reviews that the average overclock on the core has been 100MHz from what they have seen and been hearing back from those that are lucky enough to have a card already.”
Embryo Zero Case Mod
MetkuMods :: Monday, October 23, 2006
“Being fed-up with my laptop’s small display, I decided to switch back to desktop computing. When choosing parts for my new pc, I came to the conclusion that none of the ready ATX-cases were satisfying enough. I decided to build a case by myself and thought I could also save some money that way. In the end, this case ended up being more expensive than most regular cases but at least it is unique, MY case.”
Digital Doorknob Review
Fast Silicon :: Monday, October 23, 2006
We here at FastSilicon.com love processors. We believe everything can be made better with a CPU. So it’s only natural that when we heard we could replace our old keyed doorknob with a doorknob with a processor we jumped at the chance. The Taft Electric Lock Company agrees and has introduced a keyless doorknob with a digital keypad. Why is this significant and how well does it work? Read on to find out.
