DFI Infinity 865PE (Springdale) Review Posted
Published: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 | By: DennisWe have all seen PAT like BIOS patches applied to Springdale boards but none are quite like the "Super PATCH" from DFI. Combine that with the new CMOS Reloaded technology and you get a hardware enthusiasts dream board.
For those that may be confused the CMOS Reloaded technology allows the end user to save their current CMOS settings and restore them at will. -
Danger Den MAZE4 Water Cooling Kit @ Tech-Mods
Published: Monday, September 22, 2003 | By: DennisDanger Den has been producing one of the best performing water cooling kits on the market. They came a long way with their Maze water blocks but they still find something to improve with their every new release.
"The Maze 4 is the newest line of cooling offered by Danger Den. Their new design differs from the Maze 3 with smaller channels, but many more of them. Performance of the Maze 3 and Maze 4 series are nearly identical. The Maze 4 outperforms slightly in cooling tests by Danger Den." -
Possible Bandwidth Caps? @ Cnet News
Published: Monday, September 22, 2003 | By: DennisThis is quite an interesting article about possible bandwidth caps that may or may not be put on users. So if you're one of the "heavy" internet (ab)users, you may get a letter from your ISP asking you to limit your downloads.
"Keith, who asked to keep his full name private, said he'd subscribed to the service for four years and never had a complaint before. Now he was being labeled a network "abuser."" -

PC4000 round-up @ Nordic Hardware
Published: Monday, September 22, 2003 | By: DennisHere is another round-up of DDR500 memory. As the quote says, just a few AMD users will be able to utilize the full potential of this kind of memory. However, Intel owners should check it out.
"First and foremost you have to be an owner of a Pentium 4-system. AMD-owners don't even have to think about it since FSB speeds around 250MHz+ on these systems are almost as common as Swedish medals in basketball championships." -

A+GPB A-AP107 Case Review @ Modsynergy
Published: Sunday, September 21, 2003 | By: DennisI've seen quite a few cases being damaged during the shipping, especially on their sides. Maybe it's time resellers start putting some extra foam as we all know that shipping companies don't give a rat's ass about stuff they're shipping.
"Remember the box? Well here is the side of the case. See something missing? The plexi-glass is cracked and the side panel is somewhat bent. The packaging had foam at the top and bottom but none on the sides. Looks like I have bad luck with A+GPB cases. The side of the case features a side window with a Tri-LED fan on the plexi. The plexi-glass is sitting flat on the panel but unfortunately it cracked." -

Titan Datacooler DWC-A1 Water Cooler Review @ Madshrimps
Published: Sunday, September 21, 2003 | By: DennisThis is probably the most compact fully-functional watercooling setup I've ever seen in my life. Might be a good solution for those seeking for noiseless operation with decent temperatures.
"Most water blocks are not more than a piece of aluminum/copper with a channel drilled into it. But what would happen if you put fins and a fan on it? Probably it will improve your temperature, as you cool everything down at the source. Datacooler used this and I think they succeeded in it."
