Results of overclocking Samsung Spinpoint SP1203N Review @ MonkeyReview IBM to release an external 20Gb USB2.0 hard drive EIZO Nanao to ship FlexScan L557 and FlexScan L695 Photo of the day: Gainward‘s GeForce FX cards in our lab We currently test new high-end graphics cards from Gainward, including Gainward FX Powerpack Ultra/1000 Golden Sample on GeForce FX 5800 Ultra and κΰπςΰ Gainward FX Powerpack Pro/660 DVI/TV on NV34.The former has been repeatedly mentioned in these news: fully-fledged NV30, 128Mb DDR-II, 500/500 (1000) MHz clock speeds; bundled with IEEE1394, a sound card, headphones, etc. Gainward FX Powerpack Pro/660 DVI/TV features NV34 GPU, 128Mb RAM, 250/200 (400) MHz clock speed. As reviews are to follow, we introduce these photos for now:
          Zalman ZM-80A Passive Video Cooler Review "With video cards now generating as much heat as some CPU´s, it´s no wonder that there´s a market for aftermarket video heatsinks. While this was happening, though, another trend has been arising: quiet computing. The video card is a whole different beast compared to a CPU, though. You can´t just slap on a mega-heatsink... unless you don´t need your PCI slots. Zalman was one of the first to try and make a good passive video card heatsink that didn´t intrude into another PCI card´s real estate. " Read more at Gaming In 3D.
Logitec releases 200Gb IEEE1394b hard drive Logitec released an external 200Gb FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) hard drive — LHD-H200F8 to arrive in the market late in April for about $500.IEEE 1394b provides 800Mbps peak throughput, still supporting IEEE 1394 (FireWire 400). In FireWire 800 mode device works in Mac OS X 10.2.3 — 10.2.4; in FireWire 400 mode in Mac OS 8.6 — 9.2.2, Mac OS X 10.0.4 — 10.2.4, Windows 98 SE/ME/2000/XP.
 7200rpm LHD-H200F8 features 9.4ms seek time, 8Mb buffer; supports vertical and horizontal installation. Dimensions are 45x261x123mm, weight about 1.5kg. Source: PC Watch
HWZ review: Canon i550 Bubble Jet Printer "With decent speed and print quality for around S$319, the Canon i550 proves that it has what it takes to meet the demands of families or small-business folks who want decent text printing and acceptable photo quality prints any time of the day. With good paper support and a respectable software bundle, it should be able to last most users a reasonably long time before they need a new one."Read more at HardwareZone.
NVIDIA nForce2 C1: on the threshold of Athlon XP 3200+ with 400MHz FSB? Results of overclocking I dont know if the question sign is suitable in the title: judging by SiS´s recent SiS748 + SiS963L bundle and VIA´s preparations for KT600 + VT8237 (KT400A-CE, according to some sources), both of which support 400MHz FSB, this stir has a reason. NVIDIA acts simpler from this angle, having made nForce2 to support this bus from the start. Nevertheless, it continues to release new steppings of it with improved specifications. Currently there are two nForce2 steppings popular in the market: A2 and A3. However, we got to know about another one — A1, being actually a version of C1. It seems NVIDIA is also to make thorough preparations for 400MHz FSB products. It turned so that EPoX 8RDA3+ already bases on nForce2 C1. Having set VDD to 1.65V and used DDR460 memory, overclockers have succeeded in achieving stability with up to 230MHz FSB!
 ABIT NF7-S Rev. 2.0 is said to be another mobo on this revision. It work stably at 228MHz FSB in dual-channel mode at chipset voltage 1.7V and Vdimm 2.9V with Twinmos PC 3200 modules on Winbond BH5 chips. Source: VR Zone
Samsung Spinpoint SP1203N Review @ MonkeyReview "Im pleased to say that within the last few years, manufacturers have started to realize the importance of not only a large & quick drive, but also one which wont produce noise. With that said, Samsung has developed a few interesting technologies to combat the acoustic noise emission..." Read more at MonkeyReview.
IBM to release an external 20Gb USB2.0 hard drive IBM is to release a new 20Gb USB2.0 hard drive to arrive to Japan late in April. IBM 09N4211 is a part of Rapid Restore PC ideology enabling users to keep an optimal notebook or PC configuration image for fast recovery. This 4200rpm 20Gb drive features 2Mb buffer, 12ms seek time and provides 900Kb/s read, 700Kb/s write. Measured 76x142x16mm and weighing 241g, the drive can work under Windows 2000/XP. The price is expected to be around $300. Source: PC Watch
Why 11600? Quite simply because the number of pipe is doubled to reach 8, just like the band-width memory which passes to 32 Go/S because of a bus 256 bits GDDR-II to 500 MHz. And two times 5800 = 11600." More info about the new FX card over here.
EIZO Nanao to ship FlexScan L557 and FlexScan L695 Japanese EIZO Nanao is to ship its two new LCD monitors: 17" EIZO FlexScan L557 and 18.1" EIZO FlexScan L695. In Japan these are expected late in April. 17" FlexScan L557 features SXGA (1280x1024) panel with 0.264mm pixel pitch and is to replace FlexScan L565-A of May 2002. Max. brightness is 250cd/m², contrast — 500:1, horizontal and vertical viewing angles — 170°, response time 25ms. Fine Contrast feature provides image adjustment. The model has analog and DVI-D connectors. Line scan is 24.8kHz 80kHz (analog) and 31.0kHz 64kHz (digital); frame scan 50Hz 75Hz (analog) and 59Hz 61Hz (digital). The monitor is designed in austere style with 14mm borders and stereo speakers (2x1W). Energy consumption is <45W (<2W in standby). Dimensions 368x198x375mm, weight 5.6kg, approximate price in Japan — $500.
 18.1" FlexScan L695 is to replace FlexScan L685 of December 2001. The newer model differs by 4G semiconductor logic providing ActiveShot for "picture in picture" in dual-monitor configurations and 90° rotation. Dot pitch is 0.2805mm, max. brightness 250cd/m², contrast — 400:1, horizontal and vertical viewing angles — 170°, response time 40ms. The monitor has analog and DVI-I connectors. Line scan is 30.0kHz 82kHz (analog) and 30.0kHz 81kHz (digital); frame scan 49Hz 86Hz (analog) and 59Hz 60Hz (digital). Energy consumption — <45W (<2W standby). Dimensions 399x203x404mm, weight 8.0kg. Approximate price — $1650. Source: ASCII24
