The Xabre has always been a pretty powerful graphics processor considering that it's able to give the mainstream RADEON 7500 and GeForce4 MX a good beating. However, it is still not as popular among users and manufacturers alike. Still, SiS is determined to show the world that its technological advancements were better than popular brands like NVIDIA or ATI and it's not going to give up without a good fight.

Given that Intel is as aggressive as never before, AMD decided to offer Athlon XP “Barton” processors with 400MHz FSB in order to boost the performance of those CPUs. According to the statements, the increase in speed is pretty significant, hence, there is a lot of sense in producing such microprocessors in order to compete with Hyper-Threading enabled Pentium 4 processors from Intel.

The relatively slow (compared to this year) clock speed ramp next year gives AMD a chance to regain some of their lost performance ground. The slow clockspeed ramp also puts pressure on Intel to introduce their 90nm Prescott core as soon as possible, however currently it is scheduled for a Q4 2003 release.

So today, here we are once again to prove if the nForce2 has what it takes to attract the enthusiast market into using the boards based on the nForce2 chipset from nVidia. Presenting us once again with new technologies like onboard GF4 MX graphics, dual channel DDR400 memory interface, Serial ATA, AGP 8X and many more, the nForce2 is again set to capture everyone's need for the ultimate AMD board this year. Introducing, Chaintech's nForce 2 motherboard offering, the ZENITH 7NJS nForce 2!!!

As far as I'm concerned, ESG has done it again, and when the Nanotherm EXP hits the market, they may just hit a homerun right out of the park. For the AMD crowd, in my opinion this should be the thermal grease of choice, nonconductive and as efficient as any other available goo out there silver or not. For the Intel crowd, well it's just a fine damn interface material, period, and you won't be disappointed.

Because of development delays that caused Nvidia to miss at least one product cycle and the unexpected introduction of the highly-touted ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, Nvidia has made the decision to execute a paper launch of their new product, the Geforce FX. This is not the first time this has been done. AMD has done this with their recent products after Intel has stormed the gates with fast chips that have stolen the thunder, and market share, from the AMD product line, and ATI did it somewhat on the 8500, even releasing a product that wasn't fully functional on delivery. But neither of those companies were market leaders. Once a media darling in the financial markets, Nvidia has for many months now been battered about pretty hard. Their stock price has nose-dived and their market capitalization has plunged along with it, meaning that this new product cycle is key to regaining the confidence of the market and of investors. They have poured hundreds of millions into R&D, and if it doesn't pay off, they could be in a world of hurt.

After some early trials and tribulations, the new KT400 seems to have most of the bugs worked out of it. But just what can this new chipset mean to the hungry AMD enthusiast? Come join TweakTown as they take a look at the FIC AN19E and tries to answer this very question. Is it worthy of an upgrade? Come see for yourself.

AMD Athlon. That is a name that has become commonplace in the CPU market. The Athlon, which was first launched with a 650MHz clock speed more than 3 years ago, has been at times in its life, been Intel’s worst possible nightmare. Over the past few months, we have seen Intel’s Pentium 4 CPU scale incredibly and it reached 3.06GHz just last week. The Athlon is struggling to keep pace. I thought this would be a good time to take a look back to see what has happened in the last 3 years to the Athlon. So, lets get started.

The LCD display displays the system information your interested in with the touch of a button. There are three temperature probes included with the Nexus, and all you have to do is attach them to whatever it is you want to monitor. I would imagine the most likely combination is the CPU, hard drive and system. However, you can choose to watch the video card, your memory or even your Northbridge. It's up to you. Another nice feature is the LCD is backlit, so even in the dark, you can still read the LCD.

When I first saw this case mod posted in our forums, I thought that this guy had too much time on his hands. After seeing his liquid cooling project, I've changed my mind. This guy has WAY too much time on his hands. I guarantee that you have never seen a case mod quite like this. Go see how DutchCedar turned 2 CoolerMaster cases into 1 "BaDass" case, complete with liquid cooling.

The Shuttle AS45GTR is a solid performer. The board is packed with features…It's got almost everything you could possibly ask for…Serial ATA/RAID, AGP 8x support, and it's "unofficial" DDR400 support will attract those looking for maximum investment and upgradeability.
