Sapphire Radeon XT Reviews @ HardwareZoom
Published: Monday, January 19, 2004 | By: DennisAlien invasion according to the Sapphire box, though it could be a cleaver marketing ploy to get Sapphire XT cards into Alienware systems.
"Ok..this is the big guy, the giant among all the Radeon series. Considering the 9800Pro hasn't got enough firepower to overcome the nVidia 5950 Ultra, the 9800XT was born to take over that 5950 killing task. "
and kill it does, kinda. -

Corsair Hydrocool 200 EX Water Cooling Revew @ Tech-Mods
Published: Monday, January 19, 2004 | By: DennisI haven't actually seen one of these units in person but I hear they are pretty easy to use. My only concern is how difficult it would be to move the unit around while attached to your computer.
"The Hydrocool 200 EX has had little exterior change from the first model other than the obvious front panel you’ll notice the name is now in blue letters and an EX is added. Also you can now see there are filters on the intake port and exhaust ports." -

DFI LanParty NFII Ultra Rev B Review Posted
Published: Friday, January 16, 2004 | By: DennisWe have all seen our fair share of nForce2 motherboards but nothing quite this extraordinary. Enter Rev B, a completely new design to the original LanParty NFII Ultra that features a new layout, onboard features, and improved overclocking controls. A must have for any AthlonXP owner.

Corsair TWINX1024-4400 Review @ ViperLair
Published: Friday, January 16, 2004 | By: Dennis"Unfortunately, I do not have any 512MB/PC4400 sticks of competing products. We will be presenting benchmarks at 250MHz @ 2.5-4-3-6, 275MHz @ 3-4-4-8 and 277MHz @ 3-4-4-8 on the P4C800-E, all in Dual Channel mode. I will not be displaying 200MHz numbers, which I will explain why at the end of the review. The CPU and Memory ratio will be 1:1."
Crazy memory speeds though many of these reviews are focused on high speed testing and not the obvious lower speed, tighter timing tests for real humans to use.
