nVidia nForce 500 Series for Socket AM2 – What’s new nVidia?
Tweak Town :: Thursday, September 21, 2006
“Today Socket AM2 is AMD’s new weapon for the Athlon 64 and Sempron series of K8 processors. While new chipsets aren’t required to run these processors, since there is no memory controller on the chipset itself, nor any change to the Hypertransport link that connects the CPU to the Northbridge, nVidia has taken the new AM2 chipset to revamp its K8 portfolio with the new nForce 500 series chipsets for AMD and soon to be released for Intel Core 2 processors.”

Driver Heaven :: Thursday, September 21, 2006
In the media centre world, Shuttle really need no introduction, they are renowned for creating some of the most beautifully designed media pc chassis. They have been ploughing through the competition in the Small Form Factor world for a good few years now and when it comes to building a high performing PC or new media centre there really isn’t any reason we shouldn’t consider any of the offerings from Shuttle. So with this in mind lets take a look at Shuttles top of the range AMD AM2 barebones system.

A Vista of its Trails
PC Mech :: Thursday, September 21, 2006
For the past few years, even before the release of Windows XP in 2001, Microsoft has been talking about a new revolutionary operating system, meant to replace the “obsolete” system. Microsoft continuously delays the release of the new OS in the face of growing consumer anticipation as a result of numerous technical contingencies. Five years and a new name later, what do we have today? We’ve all heard of tidbits of what’s going on with it (system requirements, naming debates, etc.), but what about the whole story? Instead of looking squarely at the features that Vista has, it’s about time to take a look at the winding trail that Microsoft has taken with its supposed revolutionary operating system.

But Save As PDF is a very useful feature and seems to have made its way back into Office 2007 through the back door. Why is this feature useful? There are several reasons. Here are just a few…

NorthQ 4800-400 review 
Driver Heaven :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“There are hundreds of power supply units currently on the market ranging from the cheap to the expensive, from the beautiful to the ugly and they all come with various output ranges in classic or modular design. Only a few of them however offer special features and functions which can make them that little bit different. Today we will take a look at a unit from NorthQ which comes supplied with a remote control. A pioneering feature for a power supply unit, meaning you do not have to keep your case close to you (or even a case at all) in order to turn the system on and off.”
Raidmax Smilodon Case
3D Game Man :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“Raidmax really did an excellent job designing this case. It’s affordable, looks great, and has lots of features. One of the things that really stands out is the way the side panels open for easy access to the inside of the case. Both the left and right side panels swing down or can be removed. It has plenty of fans, drive bays, and even comes with a large window. A fantastic product for the cost conscious gamer! Watch the Video to find out more…”
Evercool VC-RG Geforce 6800 & 7800 VGA Cooler Review
Extreme Computing :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“There are some down sides such as the noise and the need for another Molex cable but I think for the price the VC-RG is worth every penny, something that I would have liked to see on the VC-RG are a fan speed controller and maybe some better styling as without the lighting the face looks very bland. Overall if you are looking for a cheap upgrade cooler for your graphics card then the VC-RG could be the cooler that you are looking for. But if you own a high end 7800GTX or such, then I would go for something with a bit more oomph, as the effects on a higher end card that you would see would only be cosmetic.”
Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter
Think Computers :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“A little while ago we took a look at the USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE adapter with one touch backup. It proved to be a very useful device and very easy to use. Well if you are looking for a similar device, but do not need to one touch backup feature then the Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 adapter might be for you. Vantec products are always made with great quality, so lets see if the SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 adapter holds up to that standard.”
Cooler Master Mystique 632
Overclockers Online :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
The Mystique 632 is stylish, dignified chassis that makes a statement. It is not a flamboyant case, nor is it meant to be. The Mystique 632’s allure is in its subtle sense of sophistication. Several areas of this case really shine, including the distinctive front panel, the gorgeous aluminum, ease of use within the tool less interior, the prefabricated holes for water cooling kits, and the outstanding build quality.

Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H Core 2 Duo Motherboard Review
HardCoreWare :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
Foxconn always has an entry-level solution, so it’s no surprize that their P965 board is targeted to the mainstream market. However it does tout some overclocking features and as always, should be a rock solid performer. How does it compare to the popular Gigabyte solutions though?
Vantec Lapcool 3 review
AOA Forums :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“Over-clockers are always looking for a way to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their hardware. This has been going on for years. Today’s Video Cards are great candidates for over-clocking. Many have high-end capabilities just waiting to be released. As any over-clocker knows, an increase in voltage can sometimes net a moderate to great increase in the overall over-clock, but there is no guarantee that this mod will offer any increase in your over-clock. With that in mind, we will be showing you how to perform a BIOS volt mod to your 6 or 7 series card.”

Sena Treo650 Lateral Case
GideonTech :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“Since the introduction of the Palm Treo 650 back in 2004, it has been at the top of the smartphone list. It packs a whole lot of features into a small package. The retail price of the Treo 650 comes in at about $450 if you do not sign up for one of the promotional deals through a carrier. With such a steep price, it’s surprising how some users don’t protect it enough. There are many types of cases, from clip ons to very basic rubber slip on cases. Today we’ve got a genuine leather model for $40 up for inspection.”

nVidia ForceWare 91.52
NGO HQ :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“We have spotted a new ForceWare driver. This set includes WHQL certification but, we were forced to break the WHQL signature in-order to add support for all GeForce series. The creation date on this driver is 8th of September, 2006. Since this driver came from an unofficial source – consider it as a beta and use it at your own risk.”

Madshrimps :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“There are people on this planet that will spend over $1000 dollar on a graphics subsystem. But there are far more people around that just want to spend about $200-250 on an excellent, allround graphics card. If you fit in the last category, The XFX 7900GS might very well be the card you’re looking for…”
Alternate Universe
PC Mechanic :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
I found out that I am actually from an alternate universe. I discovered this when I tried to use the latest beta release of IE7 for a website I created. In the universe I am from Microsoft promised a year ago to make IE 7 compliant with W3C standards. I think you can see where I am going with this. In the universe I am from there is only one difference–Microsoft follows standards. Let me tell you about that universe. Microsoft is a small but influential operating system developer. It’s owner and founder, Bill Gates, is well known in the industry, and though he was famous during the 1980s, his operating system company is mostly in the background now, overshadowed by developers of office suites, networking protocols, and web browsers that all follow a strict set of standards. Though Microsoft also develops these types of programs, they are merely showpieces that only a few hard core Microsoft fanatics use on a daily basis.

Apple iTunes 7 Review
Tweaknews :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“Despite its flaws, iTunes is still one incredible media player. While there are other quality players on the market that offer the same capabilities, most have a free version with the CD burning and other essentials stripped- you have to buy the “premium version” to have these features enabled.”
