Logitec presents LDR-PR22U2 DVD+RW/+R external USB2.0 solution Logitec presented its new external USB2.0 DVD+RW/+R drive, LDR-PR22U2, that should be available late in May for about $378. It provides: 2.4x DVD+RW rewrite, 2.4õ DVD+R write, 16õ CD-R write, 8x CD-RW rewrite. The model has 8Mb buffer and is sized 145x24x160mm.
SuperMicro announces P4SPA+/P4SPE motherboards on 865G/PE SuperMicro, specializing in Intel-based server solutions, announced two new 865G/PE-based motherboards: P4SPA+ and P4SPE. They support up to 800MHz FSB, AGP8x or integrated Intel EXTREME Graphics II. P4SPA+/P4SPE key specs:
As usual for its new P4SPA+/P4SPE boards SuperMicro recommends 17" SC733i-300 chassis that offers four HDD bays, two 5.25" bays, one FDD bay, 2 front-panel USB ports. The power supply of SC733i-300 provides 300W power.

More photos of the day: Soltek K8AV-R motherboard for Athlon 64 Introducing the photos of Soltek´s K8AV-R motherboard. Based on K8T400M + VT8235 chipset, it’s designed for 64/32-bit Socket754 Athlon 64 processors.The 0.22µm K8T400M Northbridge, announced by VIA on April 22 and dated to the Opteron release, is encased into 35x35mm 578-pin BGA package. It interacts with VT8235 via V-link 8X with up to 533Mb/s throughput (in the future we might see the VT8237 supporting 1Gb/s Ultra V-Link bus.) The board has 2 DDR333 DIMM sockets, AGP 8X slot, 5 PCI slots, 5.1-ch. Realtek ALC650 codec, standard 2-ch. ATA 133, 2-port SATA controller (Promise PDC20376).
   Legacy Electronics patents its 3D chip assembly technology North American Legacy Electronics, known as memory modules, PCB, etc. developer, maker and tester, obtained the patent No. 6,545,868 B1 from USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for the proprietary technology of assembling memory modules using Canopy assembly sub-modules (patent No. 6,313,998 B1). The idea of using the Canopy tech is shown on the image above. It provides a kind of caps for making higher-capacity multi-layer memory modules like those the company produces now. The new technology will enable even higher-capacity 3D assembled modules for Legacy Electronics. It’s also interesting that initially this Canopy innovation was called to increase the stability and decrease the chance of overheating in multi-layer DRAM designs.
Minolta releases DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 Minolta announced a 35mm film scanner, DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 (5400dpi), to arrive for sale for about $896 late in June.

HWZ review: Intel Desktop Board D865PERL (865PE) "All in all, the Intel D865PERL would make an attractive buy for users who only trust in Intel´s product reliability, stability and support. With more features now built on-board, we think Intel is addressing the needs of the consumers with very attractive value and performance. That is certainly a very positive step for Intel and we hope to see more of such products coming from Intel — especially one with even better (or more radical) overclocking features."Read more at HardwareZone.
Sigma Designs announces new EM8500 DVD decoder line Sigma Designs announced a line of EM8500 DVD decoders, products used by over 12 MPEG-4/DivX-compatible DVD player makers. It’s underlined that the new line is the first DivX-certified in the market.Besides MPEG-4, DivX Video solutions enable MP3, WMA, Picture CD, DVD-Video, Audio CD support in DVD products. EM8500 is a SoC (system-on-a-chip) type combining 150MHz RISC processor, SDRAM controller, IDE/DVD interfaces along with IO ports. The supported formats are: MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Dolby Digital, Windows Media Audio (WMA), MPEG-1 Layer 1, 2, 3 (MP3). Source: CDR Info
Bjorn3D reviews the XFX GeForce FX5200 "With all the talk about the high-end FX5800 and FX5900 it is easy to forget that NVIDIA also has released new low-end cards that will replace the GF4 MX cards. We have reviewed the XFX FX5200 card and compared it to a GF4 MX and a Ti4200 both in the usual benchmarks and in a bunch of the latest game demos."Read more at Bjorn3D.
Photo of the day: Sapphire Atlantis RADEON 9600 PRO and Atlanis RADEON 9200 64MB We are currently testing new graphics cards from Sapphire : Atlantis RADEON 9600 PRO and Atlanis RADEON 9200 64MB.The former is almost identical to ATI´s reference with 400/300(600)MHz clock speeds.
    Unlike it, the latter, Sapphire Atlanis RADEON 9200 64MB has a really unusual low-profile PCB. But what’s more important, it has only a 64-bit bus, i.e. lacks the half of memory chips, with other being 16õ4 bit. Apparently, it will work considerably slower than a usual RADEON 9200. Still, you should read our reviews on it.
