PixelView FX5600 256 MB Golden Limited Review @ Guru3D
Published: Saturday, June 28, 2003 | By: DennisI am halfway tempted never to post news from/to sites that use popup ads but I guess it is just how things work out.
"There is also an additional reason why Prolink decided to name this product the 'Golden Limited'. In the upcoming pages you'll see photo's a a very unconventional coolling mechanism, it's color .. gold. Combine that with the fact that the cooling used is silent and the fact that this product can handle video in and out over Svideo and composite and you have quite a nice card below the 200 USD range." -

Gigabyte GA-8PENXP Review @ HardwareZone
Published: Saturday, June 28, 2003 | By: Dennis"One of the main reasons why users are fond of Gigabyte boards is probably the emphasis they put on storage controllers. It has always been their strongest department and they have once again strengthened their lead in this area with the GA-8PENXP. The board easily supports eight IDE devices and four SATA devices."
Just to think I always bought Gigabyte for the layout and overclocking controls but haven't paid much attention since they have moved to this "I'm on acid" PCB layout and color design.

Random Server Problems
Published: Friday, June 27, 2003 | By: DennisThe elusive "Connection Reset" - "Connection Refused" problem is back and as usual, is VERY annoying, the server peeps should be working to get the problem solved.
It is times like this that I wish I could afford a co-lo.
I have a couple of reviews to post and a whole bunch of news though they may have to wait until after the server is working properly again. -
Soltek SL-86SPE-L Review @ x-bit labs
Published: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 | By: DennisThe Violet Eyes SL-86SPE-L is really a pretty cool board that a ton of potential. It would seem that the x-bit labs guys have figured out how to increase the performance of the 86SPE.
"These jumpers allow setting the default processor frequency and feature four positions: Auto, 100MHz, 133MHz and 200MHz. Although we were very much surprised to see them onboard, we have to admit that these two jumpers are a great advantage of Soltek SL-86SPE-L. On the one hand, you can disregard them completely by setting them into Auto position. But on the other hand, they allow squeezing extra performance out of the board by enabling the so-called PAT technology."
It should be noted that the Springdale chipset, unlike the Canterwood, doesn't come with PAT and according to what I have read there is no way to enable it.
Curiosity will get the better of me, so expect a small update to our SL-86SPE-L review in the near future. -
VIA Quitting P4 Motherboard Business??
Published: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 | By: Dennis"VIA Technologies is said to have decided to terminate the operations of its VIA Platform Solutions Division (VPSD) and will transfer all the division’s products and assets to First International Computer (FIC) now that it has settled its patent infringement lawsuits with Intel, according to sources.
VIA denied the rumor that it will close the division, but confirmed that it is indeed planning to hand over its P4 motherboard business to another company, on which it has not decided yet, and let the VPSD concentrate on developing mini-ITX EPIA boards." -
i875P-roundup @ NordicHardware
Published: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 | By: DennisRound-ups are really fun to read but are a major pain to produce. Not to mention expensive in some cases. NordicHardware has 5 Canterwood boards under the scope for your reading enjoyment.
"Time has finally come for us here at NordicHardware to post our Canterwood roundup. This article has taken an awful long time to complete due to the fact that this far this article has brought us nothing but trouble. Defective memories, crashed discs and so forth - just about everything that could go wrong went wrong." -
