The Ten Common Myths of I.T
The Tech Zone :: Wednesday, September 06, 2006
You’ve heard them all before. They particularly arise whenever quality work is required or when organization and management control is imposed. Of course, I’m talking about the ten common myths of I.T. Ten common rationalizations people in the Information Technology world turn to whenever their authority or professionalism is challenged. They are neither new or limited to a specific geographical location. They have been around as long as the modern computer and they transcend all cultural and industrial boundaries. What’s worse, they have proven to be effective.

CrystalFontz 635 USB ( DB635AL-TMF-KU3) 5.25 LCD Review 
Xtreme Computing :: Wednesday, September 06, 2006
CFA’s DB635AL-TMF-KU3 is not what I could call perfect (although I want to). The grumble I have is that I would like to see more software support. For example, I would like the buttons to control the fans if set to manual, and some way of setting up the keys to do other tasks using software rather than the config files. Don’t get me wrong—configuring the screens is not hard, but it does take out those of you that have not got the time or patience for this
Enermax Chakra ATX
Phoronix :: Wednesday, September 06, 2006
“While Enermax has been manufacturing PC peripherals for years now, they have not had many home runs when it comes to designing ATX cases that have been immensely popular with enthusiasts and gamers. Enermax’s latest attempt at creating a unique ATX chassis comes in form of the Chakra. One of the most noticeable features about the Enermax Chakra is its 25cm side intake fan. Also offered is a front eSATA port.”

Seagate Sata2 320GB vs. Western Digital Sata 2 320GB Review
Overclockers Club :: Tuesday, September 05, 2006
“Upon receiving these two shiny new hard drives, I noticed the difference in packaging techniques used by each manufacturer. The Seagate comes sealed in an antistatic bag with the end of it folded and taped closed. The Western Digital drive, on the other hand, is in an antistatic bag with moisture gathering beads, and the bag is heat sealed on both ends, requiring you to cut the bag open.”
The Growing Dependency on Mass Mediocrity
The Tech Zone :: Tuesday, September 05, 2006
Back in the 1990’s, IBM introduced its OS/2 operating system for the PC platform. Frankly, OS/2 was years ahead of itself. Not only did it have a fine Graphical User Interface (with a true object oriented desktop), it also included preemptive multitasking, crash protection, a vastly superior file management system, multimedia, Internet access, Java support, etc., etc. Microsoft, on the other hand, offered Windows 3.x which provided a simple Graphical User Interface for DOS (which most people were using at the time). Over time, enhancements were added and the product was superseded by newer versions entitled Windows 95/NT/98/ME/2000/XP, all at ever-escalating prices.

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA Motherboard Review
Legit Reviews :: Tuesday, September 05, 2006
“After spending a a couple weeks with the ASRock 775Dual-VSTA board I have to say I really like it. When you consider we’ve just seen a $55.99 motherboard hold its own against the Intel 975 chipset, which says alot for a motherboard that is over 4 times more expensive ($242.99). I’m currently using it in my 24/7 system which should tell you a lot about the confidence that I have in it. For those looking for a real bargin these can be found from time to time for just $26.99 as OEM versions (open box) at Newegg, making the 775Dual-VSTA motherboard the lowest priced Core 2 board on the market…”
MSI NX7300GS-TD256E GeForce 7300 GS 256MiB
Hexus :: Tuesday, September 05, 2006
It’s key for system integrators be able to put together budget systems that can still provide the fully-fledged interfaces of the likes of Vista, without having to fork out for a high-end card. That’s quite possible with the help of today’s generation of budget cards, like MSI’s NX7300GS-TD256E, which we’re reviewing here today.
ATI X1950XTX Review
Neoseeker :: Tuesday, September 05, 2006
“While a new cooler may not in itself be enough to herald a new SKU, the addition of newer memory running at significantly faster speeds evidently is. The X1950 XTX uses 512 MB of brand new GDDR4 memory and is the first graphics card yet to ship with this new memory. The focus of GDDR4 is increased bandwidth (at the expense of latency however) and lower power consumption and has been tested running at speeds up to 3.2 GHz DDR . Being the first product to market with the new technology, ATI have not pushed the envelope that far but still manage a whopping 2.0 GHz representing the fastest memory clocks of any shipping graphics card yet.”
