Das Portwell Wade-8056 ist ein Mini ITX Mainboard für Intel Core 2 Duo und Intel Core 2 Quad Desktop Prozessoren und entsprechend auch ein schnelles Mini ITX Mainboard. Wer maximale Leistung für einen PC haben will, der greift zu einer Multicore-Lösung mit mehreren Prozessoren. Intel produziert die ...
Being a graphics card maker, there is one area that NVIDIA has a leg up, that being the IGP market. For the basic home PC and office workstation, IGP based boards really do have a home. Even for a Digital Home PC that does nothing but play movies and record TV programs, integrated graphics is perfec...
Foxconn präsentiert laufend neue Mainboards. Kein Wunder bei den verfügbaren Fertigungskapazitäten. Schließlich ist man der weltgrößte Produzent solcher Hardware. Auch uATX-Mainboards mit AMD 690 Chipsatz finden sich im Angebot. Das A6VMX-K ist preislich am unteren Ende der Skala angesiedelt und kon...
If you've already bought an Intel X38 then don't stress about X48 - you're already there, just keep your BIOS up to date. It's not like 1,600MHz FSB CPUs will be saved for X48 either, since Asus has already added support on its X38 boards. If Asus can manage this, we have no doubt that everyone else...
The K9AGM2-FIH is still a decent-performing, good-looking motherboard, but, in the end, it breaks no ground and makes mistakes that cause its mundanity. It serves as an example for what not to do by a company that has so often done things better than the rest.
Die Übersicht der Spezifikationen aktueller AM2 Chipsätze hat ein Update erhalten. Neu hinzugekommen sind AMDs 700er Chipsätze und nVidias nForce 3 250 und M1695. Da die Übersicht nun Sockel AM2 und Sockel AM2+ Chipsätze umfasst, wurde auch der Name angepasst. Auch wenn es auf dem Chipsatzmarkt, nac...
In this group test we compare the overclocking capabilities and performance of 4 motherboards based on the mid-range P35 Intel chipset. From the low cost Asus P5K, affordable Foxconn P35AP-S and MSI Platinum Combo to the expensive DFI P35 Lanparty, which one will come out on top?
Here're some photos of the final designs of MSI's new HydroGen waterblock that will be offered as a limited edition on some of its next generation Intel X48 boards.
Dass es Mini ITX Mainboards 17x17cm für Core 2 Quad Prozessoren gibt, wissen nur die wenigsten. Aber wie sieht es aus, wenn das Mainboardformat noch kleiner ist und wie ist dort die Ausstattung? VIA Eden Prozessoren, AMD Geode GX, oder gibt es auch mehr? Wer sucht der findet, und auch bei den ganz k...
We took the Vizo Master Panel II for a test drive and show you everything from its built in fan controller and media card reader to eSATA and USB ports. If you are constantly frustrated with adding USB devices to the back of your PC, or plugging and unplugging headphones and digital cameras then a f...
Nach der Neuauflage der Disk Station DS107+ mit neuer Hardware Architektur, hat Synology auch die Disk Station DS207+ herausgebracht. Die Synology Disk Station DS207+ ist für 2 SATA Festplatten vorgesehen, die im RAID Level 0, RAID Level 1 oder none-RAID Modus laufen können. Mit der Synology Disk St...
A few years back Logitech introduced the G15 Keyboard to the masses. No one had seen a keyboard that resembled the likes of it before. It took some of the features that people had been hacking into their own keyboards and made it mainstream. But that was a few years ago and now Logitech has updated ...
If gaming is your thing and the PC is your king then the Logitech G9 is your one stop destination for gaming domination. It's well designed, well featured and incredibly versatile and as such comes highly recommended.
The Lexmark X500n is a multifunction colour laser printer with a low asking price and it could see a lot of application in small offices. It's not that quick, particularly when printing colour, and is quite bulky, but print quality is reasonable, especially when printing text. It's a little bit expe...
Getting down to the nitty gritty there are some key details we should make mention of. Based on the new G92 core, we have the standard features to come with it such as PCI Express 2.0, a 65nm die and 1:1 texture addressing units : texture filtering units. These are the features we know to be standar...
Die ATi Radeon HD 3850 musste zahlreiche Benchmarks absolvieren und beweisen, ob sie es wert ist, gekauft zu werden. Mit der Radeon HD 3850 hat ATi neben der HD 3870 noch ein ganz heißes Eisen im Feuer. Verspricht der kleinere Ableger gar ein noch besseres Preis-Leitungs-Verhältnis?
MSI Computer has released a pre overclocked GeForce 8800GT that makes it one of the fastest on the market. The MSI NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC is pre overclocked to 660MHz core and 1920MHz memory. The standard is 600/1800MHz core/memory. This lean single slot PCI Express x16 videocard is backed by 512MB of ...
Leadtek has got quite a few PX8600 models for you to chose from. The one I have on my bench today is located on the bottom of the food chain, SLI setup to be precise. It's the entry-level WinFast PX8600 GT TDH board featuring blistering fast GDDR2 memory. A nice way to diversify your SKUs isn't it? ...
Why review a 1GB HD 2900 XT card when the new 3870 is out? Ultimately though, what the 8800GT and HD 3870 has done to these other high-end cards is make them worth absolutely bugger all on the second hand market. What this means is you can really pick up a bargain.
This time we took a closer look at XFX's 8800GT 512MB Alpha Dog X Edition, name monster. I have to say that this is the MUST card to have. XFX made a great job with the bundle and by factory overclocking the card. Sure, one can overclock the card relatively easily but with a pre overclocked card, on...
In our review of the XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog X Edition we fully intend to either prove or dispel many of the myths that have been communicated concerning this graphics solution.
Maybe the 8800GT got off to a bit of an unfair start. We did compare an overclocked card to stock HD 2900 offerings initially. However, it's safe to say that with the numbers being pulled here today from the stock clocked ASUS card, our initial judgment of the card being a great performer is well ju...
The new FireGL V7600 512MB workstation graphics card is based on the same basic board design as the Radeon HD 2900 lineup for gamers, but it is tweaked on both the hardware and software level for enhanced workstation performance. The card is the least costly of ATI's FireGL lineup based on the R600 ...
Multimedia or HTPC users are usually forced to get a mid-range graphics card so as to get hardware support for HD video. ATi, thanks to its low-priced HD 2400XT, overcomes this inconvenience. This card is designed for HD and supports DirectX 10. Passive cooling, on the other hand, will make it total...
AMD has just released a new Catalyst driver for Radeon graphics cards – we check out performance under Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. It seems like AMD forgot to send us the drivers before release this time, and there could be a reason for that. As we have a look over the release notes, there appea...
Um die Lager für den RV670, welcher vor rund einer Woche der Öffentlichkeit gezeigt wurde, bisweilen aber noch nicht erhältlich ist, zu leeren, hat ATi vorherigen Monat eine sogenannte HD 2900 Pro hervorgezaubert, die auf dem R600 basiert und gegenüber seinem großen Bruder, der HD 2900 XT, lediglich...
One could say that AMD finally got bored with dragging its offer and decided to finally do some decent work with the new models. Here we have a completely new card, destined to impress both the press and the market. The architecture plans were based on the experiences with the R600, with significant...
Einsteiger Grafikkarten und Midrange Grafikkarten gibt es von NVIDIA in den unterschiedlichsten Kombinationen. Die Technic3D Redaktion schaut sich drei aktuelle Modelle für den Einstieg, Bereich Office, HTPC oder auch Gaming, etwas genauer an. Hierzu liegen uns die Modelle 8400 GS von Foxconn, 8500 ...
One year ago NVIDIA released the Geforce 8 series and took the performance crown, today we test the latest additions to the family, the 8800 GT is priced lower than the 8800 GTS 320mb, yet sports higher clockspeeds and more video memory.

Asus introduces an Intel X38 motherboard with great performance and unique features. We loved it but the price is too high for medium level users.
The K9AGM2-FIH is still a decent-performing, good-looking motherboard, but, in the end, it breaks no ground and makes mistakes that cause its mundanity. It serves as an example for what not to do by a company that has so often done things better than the rest.
