| A
review about the Chaintech 9CJS Zenith line motherboard which
offers the Canterwood technology.
In the review they test the board with the Intel 2.4Ghz (c version)
and push it up to 3.5Ghz. Pack with goods and power, what more
could you ask for?
There has been much anticipation about the release of the Intel
i875P chipset; speed alone will make the Canterwood chipset
one of the most heavily demanded in a long time. Chaintech's
Zenith 9CJS, its latest Pentium 4 motherboard, takes advantage
of this newest chipset. For those not familiar with the Zenith
line of Chaintech products, these are the high end models.
Chip
details leak out of Intel
Prescott, the next big desktop chip from Intel, is slated to
come out at 3.4 GHz, while Dothan, an energy-efficient chip
for slim notebooks, will have a server-size cache and is expected
to debut at 1.8 GHz, according to computer industry sources.
"The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker is gearing up
for a busy second half of the year with a slew of new chips
and price cuts, according to an Intel presentation forwarded
to CNET News.com as well as industry sources. Details about
future server chips also came out." 
CPUs
with 64bit Architecture: Evolution or Revolution?
We are facing the transition from 32bit to 64bit technology.
But are we ready for that? In this article we are going to take
a look at the processor market to see if there is real need
in this transition and what the solutions will be the pioneers
in the 64bit world.
HP
iPAQ h1910 Pocket PC
The HP iPAQ h190 is even overclockable. Yes it is possible to
overclock a Pocket PC. This can be done with programs like Clear
Speed or Pocket Hackmaster. So how far can you push the 200MHz
processor? How does an extra 100MHz sound? Suddenly the h190
is starting to look really good against the more expensive 300MHz
and 400Mhz Pocket PCs on the market.

finishes off Linux kernel
Linus Torvalds has published the last release of the 2,5 x Linux

2.6 kernel.
HardDrive
Comparison (SCSI 15k vs SCSI 10K vs IDE 10K vs IDE 7.2K Raid-0)
Boasting 50% higher spindle speeds than their 10K-RPM counterparts,
15K-RPM drives immediately set expectations high. Today, I'll
be looking at Maxtor's Atlas 15K to see if it measures up. And
just to keep things interesting, I'll be testing the drive against
a stack of SCSI gear, Western Digital's 10K-RPM Raptor, and
a feisty two-drive IDE RAID 0 array. It should be quite a catfight.

Memory frequencies are spiraling upward faster than their own

to it. Enhanced Latency, Twin Pack, Extended Voltage Protection,
Wafer-based packaging are just a few of the new features that
belong into Glittertown

17" PowerBook G4 Review
One look at Apple's new 17" PowerBook G4 will have even
the most die hard PC guy drooling. There is no better looking
notebook on the market today. The question is, does the new
PowerBook offer a great enough package to make you give up your
PC laptop or desktop?

Performance
and Scalability of the new Opteron
In the interest of fairness, I've been monitoring Microsoft's
Exchange Server benchmark page. As you may recall, when the
Opteron was launched, scores for 2-way and 4-way servers based
on the chip were posted to this page. Microsoft is oomphing
around about the Opteron. One of the processor's strengths is
apparently n-way performance in heavy server situations.

Sound
Blaster Audigy2 Platinum eX
When
I first received the Sound Blaster Audigy2 Platinum eX I immediately
became tongue tied. Not because of the absurdly long name, but
what in the heck do I do with this thing? Why would anybody
need a completely external break-out box?
The AudigyDrive, and all like products, are pretty near perfection
for ease of use and connection. And they generally sound pretty
good, too. So I think: Tear it apart! No, no, that would void
the warranty. Wait a minute, it's a Press Kit … there
ain't no warranty.
Gigabyte
7NNXP (nForce2): Gigabyte Goes nForce
In terms of features and speed, Gigabyte’s first foray
into NVIDIA chipset-based motherboards is no slouch by any stretch
of the imagination. The Gigabyte 7NNXP is based on NVIDIA's
latest and greatest Athlon XP chipset, dubbed the nForce2 Ultra
400. The nForce2 Ultra 400 is different from NVIDIA's earlier
nForce2 chipsets in only one way; official 400MHz FSB support.
Results from NVIDIA's in-house testing confirmed that nForce2
Ultra 400 was able to reach higher FSB speeds than their older
chipsets from last year, which reached average speeds of only
420MHz FSB. (However, nForce2 chipset steppings predating nForce2
Ultra 400 did gradually perform a bit better.)
