Earlier news here ======================================= 02/12/03 - Soltek 75FRN nForce2 mainboard review One more lucky board that will end up in the hands of Hans Chang for some kind of shameless revelations... The Soltek 75FRN isn't as good as the leaders Asus or EPoX and does not have overclocking talent but a price tag under 100$ makes her more desirable than she is supposed to be... Read the whole confession here ======================================= 02/12/03 - Aopen announces 4 nForce2 motherboards Aopen is finally waking up with no less than 4 new nForce2 motherboards. 3 models carry the IGP nForce2 version with integrated graphics: AK39G-V, AK39G-VN with LAN, AK39G-1394 with LAN and Firewire. The SPP design named AK79D-1394 has no graphics but has IEEE1394 Firewire bus. Surprisingly none of this design has Serial ATA capability. Look for specifications here ======================================= 02/12/03 - Pentium 4 vs. Athlon XP clock for clock If megahertz is the best way to rate processor, then Intel should appreciate the OCA attempt to compare Pentium 4 and Athlon XP at the same exact speed. It's here and it does not look too good for Santa Clara's founder: "there is no denying, AMD simply out performs Intel in a head to head, clock for clock comparison" ======================================= 02/12/03 - Tyan Trinity KT400 motherboard review Tyan has always been the favorite AMD's partner for SMP motherboard for Athlon MP and we've heard from AMD itself that Tyan was also chosen for Opteron board design. Surprinsingly the company have just released a KT400 board simply named Trinity S2495 and reviewed today at Penstarsys here ======================================= 02/12/03 - MSI K7N2-L nForce2 motherboard review K7Jo, the wunderbar German site, is testing the light version of the nForce2 MSI K7N2 with no graphics, no dual-LAN, no FireWire, and no Dolby 5.1 but lots of horse power as you may see here ======================================= 02/12/03 - Unlock XP: The ultimate way! Several mods have been circulating on the web of how to unlock AMD processors. Most of the mods are confined to alterations of the CPU in form of shorting or reconnecting bridges. In most cases, these modifications require quasi surgical skills and yet, they won't work on some processors/systems. An alternative modification that has become fashionable is to short pins on the CPU. While this is straight-forward, this method still misses the point in that it is somewhat risky and difficult to implement. Based on laziness, Lost Circuits agenda has always been to use their brains instead and they came up with a simple modification that is absolutely risk-free and can be done in about 5 seconds and it's right here ======================================= 02/11/03 - AMD on track with cost-cutting plan AMD is on track to cut its quarterly costs to $800 million by the end of its second quarter, Chief Executive Hector Ruiz said on Tuesday. Ruiz declined to discuss the company's outlook at the BoA Securities technology conference, but said AMD was on target to achieve its goal of reducing its costs by $100 million per quarter by the second quarter of 03, which ends in June.

Today, CrackMaster is coming back with a complete Abit NF7-S review which is praised for the overall quality of the board and the efficiency of Abit's RMA policy when the product is down. Read this here (Source Psy) ======================================= 02/11/03 - ECS Game Union SiS746 board review The Game Union is a wonderful little motherboard with an on-board graphics chip Xabre 200 with its own memory (not like nForce2 which uses your system memory) and a SiS746 chipset. This nForce2 killer to be is tested at French Clubic here (Thanks Psy!) ======================================= 02/11/03 - Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra board review A well documented review about the Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra is waiting for anyone willing to discover the hidden sides of this little wonder at Hardware-Mag here ======================================= 02/11/03 - Barton XP 2500+ XP 2800+ XP 3000+ Already more than 30 reviews already stored at our Barton Special here and nowhere else! ======================================= 02/11/03 - Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard review From Russia with love, Abit NF7-S is meeting EPoX 8RDA+ for a buzy afternoon during which each one is trying to impress us with megahertz and bits per second. It's all at Digital-Daily here ======================================= 02/11/03 - Athlon XP 2800+ Barton core review The Athlon XP 2800+ Barton core has L2 cache of 512KB and runs extremely cool. It's performances aren't as good as the XP 2800+ Thoroughbred core but its headroom gives overclockers a lot of margin to play with.

More quiet PC articles also await for you here ======================================= 02/10/03 - Asus A7N8X nForce2 motherboard review AthlonXP' Tom Burnette has reviewed Asus A7N8X star and the conclusion looks more sour than sweet: "I still don't know exactly how I feel about this motherboard. It's fast and stable and has no major issues, I just expected more. After reading other nForce2 board reviews available on the internet, I thought I'd see a huge difference over my older KT333 board, but in real world, day to day use, I just don't see it". Read the whole here ======================================= 02/10/03 - Athlon XP 2600+ 333FSB CPU review OC Addiction is addicted to the Thoroughbred core to the point of releasing a XP 2600+ review on the day Barton is showing his snout.
