FX62 overclocked to 3.1GHz
BONAFIDE REVIEWS the
Super Talent MP3 player. With such a name, you would certainly expect a few good things. Well, you won't be let down. That player packs a lot of punch. A large colour screen, a 2GB capacity, FM radio with recording, Line In, Lithium battery and it weighs even less than the iPod nano. Of course, you don't have to buy MP3 from itunes to fill it, can be recharged via USB plus it is much cheaper than Apple's hit product. You will need a good pair of earphones though.
Legionhardware tests the
Nvidia Geforce 7300GT SLI Performance and asks one important question, is it better to buy two cards or one single video card for the same price. LH tests the cards - in this case passively cooled Gigabyte 7300GTs- through a number of benchmarks including Quake4. In a nutshell, two SLI 7300GT cards are faster in most cases than a single 7600GT card. Don't forget though that you will have to change two video cards later should you want to upgrade.
Neoseeker reports on the ultra expensive
Athlon FX62 processor. William Henning succeeds in overclocking the beast to 3.1GHz and gives us some hints on how to get the processor to the top of its form. Although the FX62 beat other AMD processors easily, it was not with panache and will certainly have a heck of a time doing the same thing with Conroe. It did have come difficulties beating overclocked Intel processors by a distance.
Bigbruin checks the
Everglide s-500 Professional Gaming Headphones. By Professional, it certainly means big and bad, with plenty of cushion for the ears so that you cannot hear others and others can't hear what's going in your ears.It is comfortable to listen to and are adequate for most gaming usage. However, its price puts it in the same league as other, more elaborate headphones/earphones - noise-cancellation, wireless or 5.1 surround models. Certainly not the best value for money around.
XYZcomputing writes a short review on the
Neuros MPEG4 recorder2. It is hailed as a Digital VCR for the Portable Video Age and is presented as a PVR for your PSP or iPod video. You can use it for example to record video from your telly to your portable device. It even comes with a credit card size remote control. Surprisingly though, it does not come with SD card or USB support. The Neuros supports only CF and Memory Stick. Hope the next version solves those shortcomings. UK-based DoomedPC lets us know more about the
Xilent BAT Quiet VGA Cooler which as you may guess share the same form as the flying night mammal. Don't know how a Bat can cool your video card better though. The BAT is made up of copper but has no heatpipe. You have a few memory sinks and quite a large number of fins and a smallish fan. It might look a bit silly but it still manages to impress the reviewer with a very cheap price.
