DFI 865PE Infinity Motherboard Review @ Bjorn3D

"And they aim to do it again with a new approach to BIOS settings. While launching its new Infinity series of mainboards targeting overclockers on a budget, DFI is also bringing out CMOS Reloaded, which enables the user to select/tweak, define, save, and rename the CMOS. Currently, CMOS Reloaded allows you to save two distinct CMOS configurations."

Computex Days 2 and 3 @ Ninjalane

Ninjalane posted some more photos from day 2 and 3 at Computex.

Day 2, Day 3.

Computex Day 2 @ Legion Hardware

"When visiting events such as Computex I tend to concentrate more on the high-end products such as the latest graphics cards, processor and chipsets. I guess you could say the main focus point would have to be on products that offer a new and exciting level of performance. Take for example the AMD Athlon64 processor or ATi´s R360, these are products we all tend to focus on. New processors are of course a big hit with the enthusiasts and quite often you will never hear about the low-end solutions that most of us end up purchasing as they are the most affordable."

HWZ review: Corsair TWINX1024-4000PRO (DDR500)

"The Corsair TWINX1024-4000PRO is an overclocker’s best friend with the capability to operate in dual channel mode flawlessly at a 250MHz FSB. Better yet, it was rock stable all the way with even a 262MHz FSB and with a tested 1:1 RAM to FSB ratio."

Allied 500 Watt PSU Review @ TweakTown

"Well, we´re back at it with another new name in the power supply market. Though these folks have been around for a while, they aren´t a name that is always heard of when it comes to a PSU. Come join Mike "Darthtanion" Wright as he takes a look at the Allied 500 watt Power Supply. It boasts an abundance of power, and quiet, cool operation. We´re going to stress it out a bit and see if it can live up to it´s own claims!"

Albatron PX865PE Lite PRO Review @ TechConnect

"Leaned towards the higher performance i856PE based mainboards, the PX865PE Lite PRO comes with a great value anybody with low budget cannot deny. The only major drawback from the i865PE based boards is the lack of Dual-DDR support. The PX865PE Lite PRO still offers support for Hyper-Threading Pentium4 processors, DDR400 memory, AGP 8X, Serial ATA, and even FSB1000+. Albatron’s implementation also features onboard 3Com 10/100Mbps LAN, as well as AC’97 sound. All in all, the Albatron PX865PE Lite PRO mainboard combines up-to-date basic features with great performance, and an excellent price." own claims!"

Zalman ZM-2HC1 Heatpipe HDD Cooler Reviewed @ myWORLD Hardware

"As you´ve known by now, Zalman is a company who is very well known for its range of quiet cooling solution or Computer Noise Prevention System products or in short, CNPS. From the very initial review, we took a look at Zalman CNPS6000-CU and we´re truly amazed how it cooled down our CPU testbed without making a single noise. Later on, we managed to experience and review more Zalman products and we did find that their products are truly and totally quiet without compromising performance."
