Volcano
9 "Coolmod" - An Athlon XP Bites the Dust
|
|
The
smell of silicon death fills the air as PCREVIEWSPOT end
up with one fried XP 1600+. Actually they didn't mention
any smell so I guess they could have just crushed the
core?
|
|
I'm extremely shocked and dissapointed with this. Now
I'm going to have to turn up with a Athlon XP 1600+ from
somewhere, fast, because no it wasn't even mine, it was
my sisters'. I'm not saying that this reflects Thermaltakes
reputation, it was my personal experience, and possibly
the CPU could have fried independently of the HSF, but
I doubt it. Another XP bites the dust.

Intel
845GE Chipset Review
|
|
Tweakers
Australia has just posted a review of the latest DDR chipset
from Intel, the 845GE. Here's a snip:
|
|
Well now that Intel has finally stepped into the light,
official support for DDR333 has made its way into these
new chipsets, along with a few other improvements as well.
Along with the release of the three new DDR chipsets,
Intel also provided an updated version of the 850E RDRAM
chipset for the P4, incorporating support for dual-channel
PC1066 that was recently validated by Intel. Today however,
we will be looking at the 845GE chipset in detail, and
comparing it to the former 845G chipset, along with the
845E and 850E chipsets.

ATI
Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB
|
|
Explosive
Labs get to play with some hardware that with any luck
won't explode, not in a literal sense at least. Check
out their review of the ATi Radeon 9700 Pro.
|
|
The ATI Radeon 9700 Pro just shouts out "sleek and
stylish" with its bright red PCB board. This was
a welcome surprise and something well in waiting, as ATI
has not been one to design in "aesthetically appealing"
mantra. The outputs on this card are your standard VGA
connector for a CRT monitor, as well as an S-Video port
for connection to a TV, and a DVI-I port for your flat
panel display, thus giving you dual monitor support.

Thermaltake
HardCano 5
|
|
Overclocker
Warehouse have the Thermaltake HardCano 5 on the bench.
We had one or two quality control problems with our unit
but that could be just bad luck.
|
|
Today we take a look at Thermaltake’s highest member
of the HardCano series, the HardCano 5. It's clearly aimed
at the more hardcore user/overclocker, cramming hard drive
cooling, fan speed control and temperature monitoring
into a reasonably priced little package.

RedHat
8.0 Review
|
|
If
you're thinking of giving Linux a try G3D have taken a
look at RedHat 8.0.
|
|
I was first introduced to the Linux operating system
almost a year ago. I don't think I first tried it because
I wanted something new. I didn't really even hate Windows
as a product. No, I made the switch as a matter of principle.
How dare MS charge $500 (Canadian) for an operating system?
I have to pay $500 dollars just to use my computer? I
already paid a grand for it, now I have to buy Windows
before I can even use it? That's just not fair.
