ABIT to completely move to new OTES design. Company´s graphics card summary We are moving our testbeds to ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 256MB ASUS PC-DL Deluxe for dual Intel Xeon 3.06GHz+ "suddenly" unveiled Iomega introduces new Digital Capture Technology (DCT) storage media Palm Tungsten T2 officially announced. m130 and m515 prices cut Radeon 9200SE (RV280SE): first photos and test results NVIDIA unleashes new professional Quadro FX 3000 and 3000G solutions ABIT to completely move to new OTES design. Company´s graphics card summary According to the latest information, ABIT decided to completely move to new OTES cooling system design throughout the entire graphics card series. However, non-OTES models will be manufactured as well.In the near future we should see new ABIT Siluro FX5200 OTES, ABIT Siluro FX5600 OTES and ABIT Siluro FX5600 Ultra OTES announced. While waiting for new press releases, you can take a look at ABIT graphics cards currently present in the market:
We are moving our testbeds to ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 256MB It’s not a secret that all these years we used NVIDIA graphics cards in our testbeds, as we have been trying to use the most advanced and fast samples to remove any bottlenecks and let all components perform best. Today the graphics subsystem requirements are even more rigid, as, noise, heat emission and size are also important besides performance. Considering all this, we for the first time decided to move our testbeds to graphics cards on ATI GPUs (currently Manli ATI Radeon 9800PRO 256 Mb). So, pay attention to these changes while reading our reviews.
 ASUS PC-DL Deluxe for dual Intel Xeon 3.06GHz+ "suddenly" unveiled Reviewers from French X86-Secret stumbled upon the provisional announcement of ASUS Canterwood ES-based PC-DL Deluxe workstation motherboard designed for two Xeon processors. And it seems ASUS is right naming this product the most powerful in its class for today. Brief board specs:
Iomega introduces new Digital Capture Technology (DCT) storage media Iomega introduced new Digital Capture Technology (DCT) representing a 1.5Gb storage platform. The company plans to offer it to OEM manufacturers, including Fujifilm, Citizen Watch and Texas Instruments. The novelty is designed for portable video players, PCs and PDAs. Sized as 50¢ coin, it weighs about 9g. Pilot DCT drives and cartridges are currently being tested by customers. Such devices are currently expected in the market in Q2 2004. According to company engineers, Iomega DCT utilizes high-density magnetic recording technology enabling 6Gbit/in.² in the future. Iomega is also developing a small-sized hard drive codenamed "RRD".
Palm Tungsten T2 officially announced. m130 and m515 prices cut Today Palm unveiled its new Palm Tungsten T2 PDA. Similar to Tungsten T, new model features Bluetooth module and digital voice recorder capability, but it also has some new multimedia features as well.
      Tungsten T2 brief specs:
Along with this announcement, Palm cut prices for Palm m130 and Palm m515 models, so Palm m130 now costs $179 ($20 cut), Palm m515 — $249 ($50 cut).
Radeon 9200SE (RV280SE): first photos and test results The summer is hot and the graphics card market suffers depression. Makers do not release new GPUs, testers are mostly offered original coolers and packages. But! As soon as makers squeezed maximum from top-end chips and saw that their sales were still a small share of total, they started releasing "super-light" models. If the "LE" suffix was popular for such products last year, today it’s "SE". As you might know already, late in July ATI plans to release a pared-down Radeon 9200 with the "SE" suffix – Radeon 9200SE. These products can already be found in some markets, and our colleagues from Korean DarkCrow even had time to conduct a provisional testing.     So, what is the difference between Radeon 9200 SE and usual 9200 and 9200Pro? As would be expected, the memory suffered first, having been pared down to 64-bit vs. 128-bit in 9200/9200 Pro.
The sample tested featured 128Mb of Infineon´s 6ns DDR TSOP-II memory clocked at 164.25 MHz õ 2 (i.e. 329MHz), 200.25MHz Radeon 9200SE (RV280SE) GPU, 400MHz RAMDAC, D-Sub, S-Video/RCA Composite interfaces. The card was made on a low-profile 4-layer green PCB. The testbed featured 3.06GHz Intel Pentium4 with HT and 533MHz FSB, 512Mb of Samsung´s PC2100, ASUS P4GBX (BIOS-1005) on E7205, Windows XP, Catalyst 3.6/DirectX 9.0a. Radeon 9200SE model was compared to a reference Radeon 9200 (249.75/401MHz DDR GPU/memory clock speeds).
 Seeing test results above, you can practice interpreting "SE" as you think it should be. Maybe "Sabotage Edition", "Sales Edition", etc. Such low performance can be excused only by even lower price. And just imagine how unfair system builders might use the confusing similarity of model names. Source: DarkCrow
