A few reviews in a Block-o @ Ninjalane
Published: Friday, September 26, 2003 | By: DennisWhoa... It's pretty calm today in the hardware world after a crazy week with news from Computex and some major releases from AMD and other companies.

SwiftTech MCX462-VT Review @ PC Abusers
Published: Friday, September 26, 2003 | By: DennisSwiftTech has changed their heatsink's design a little since their last MCX462+ heatsink, and I must admit it looks pretty impressive...
"We'll be comparing the SwiftTech MCX462-V against an all-copper Thermalright SLK900-A. Of all the many heatsinks that have come across the PCA testing board, that SLK900-A is the best. So no slack will be cut here. We'll soon find out if this SwiftTech is a contender, or another pretender."" -

AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 vs. Intel Pentium 4 EE @ Hardware Zone
Published: Thursday, September 25, 2003 | By: DennisHardware Zone takes a look at the Battle of the Titans - the brand spanking new Athlon64 FX-51, and a little upgraded, not-so-new Pentium4. Who wins? Take a look and find out.
"The new Athlon 64 FX-51 and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition are two of today's fastest processors for the desktop market. There are several key differences between each of them, but the main selling point for the Athlon 64 FX-51 is its revolutionary 64-bit core which promises to deliver more computing power to the masses while still retaining excellent 32-bit compatibility with current applications and operating systems." -
Block-o @ Ninjalane
Published: Thursday, September 25, 2003 | By: DennisOur Block-o became a tradition here, at Ninjalane. I like it because it helps us to post the news that otherwise would have been ignored and, probably, are ignored by a lot of sites. Without much further talk, I present you Block-o:
- Crucial Hi-Speed USB 7-in-1 Card Reader @ Bjorn3D
- The Antec Notebook Cooler @ PCA Reviews
- Zalman ZM-WB2 Water Block @ The Tech Lounge
- Extreme Volcano 12 Review @ PC Abusers
Sorry if your news got delayed. I usually wait for a little bit just to get more news and put them in a Block-o. Better later than never.
One more link back to Ninjalane, just because I can... -
Epia CL10000 Review @ Epiacenter
Published: Thursday, September 25, 2003 | By: DennisWhile the performance of this motherboard might not be enough for a super small LAN Party machine, it can be a good choice for all those wanting to make some crazy mod.
"If you need the features the CL10000 offers, such as 2 NICs, 4 COM ports, 6 USB ports, all in such a small low power package, then this is a very good choice as I don't know of any other system that offers all of these features in such a small package. But if you don't need these extra features, then you are probably much better off with the cheaper M10000, especially as it has it's own appealing features, such as 5.1 sound, Firewire, TV out etc. It all depends upon the market you are in - are you looking for a compact reliable network machine, or a multimedia home entertainment machine?" -
Albatron PX865PE Lite PRO Review @ TechConnect
Published: Thursday, September 25, 2003 | By: DennisTechConnect takes a look at the new Albatron motherboard and they seem to like it. I don't know much about Albatron motherboards but you gotta love the ocean-blue PCB.
"The Albatron PX865PE Lite PRO mainboard has great offerings and is well priced. The mainboard is a budget solution for mainstream or value market. It has great performance for the money, as well as features. Besides being a single channel DDR chip, the i848P is just an ordinary i865PE chip in another shell." -
Computex 2003 Day 3
Published: Thursday, September 25, 2003 | By: DennisEven though I didn't have any formal meetings on my agenda I was still able to talk with quite a few vendors about their products.
I even had time to catch the Shuttle girl show. -
AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor Review @ Legit Reviews
Published: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 | By: DennisLegit Reviews takes a look at what was proved to be the new fastest CPU on the market. AMD promises a painless transition between 32-bit and 64-bit software and trust me, I want to believe.
"Today is one of the biggest days in AMD's corporate history as they are launching one of the most expensive processors they have ever designed. AMD will have retail processors available and expects system builders to be taking orders today, September 23, 2003. The Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX should be on their way to shelves right now. No paper launches on this one..." -
