Spam Counterstrike at ASE Labs. HERE! Yeah, that's right.
Hexus and the Asus A7V8X.
Also DFI granity bay action.
Dual-channel DDR, in the guise of Intel's 'Granite Bay' chipset, looks likely to be manufactured and marketed by the larger first-tier motherboard manufacturers only. That's why it's nice to see a relative minnow produce and market a strong and viable alternative. Inherently expensive, but rather quick, the DFI NB80-EA is a fine example of an emerging technology.
Ascully has some Microsoft keyboard and mouse action going.
Add wireless freedom, stylish looks, and one-touch features to your desktop. Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro provides customizable keys, optical mouse technology, and a comfortable, ergonomic design. Its everything you need in one package. Comfort and performance never looked so good.
All these Vantec Nexus Panel things at Monkey Review.
Right off the go I was impressed with this unit. Its looks, versatility and easy installation make it a good choice for anyone looking for the features it offers. Regrettably the unit also has a few shortcomings, I really wasnt impressed with the LCD display and they missed a few features for alarm control and not having the ability to display temps in Fahrenheit puzzled me. The construction is very well done, the install isnt as bad as it looks and really for what the unit does do well I am happy with it. With a little bit better LCD and software this unit could be the cream of the crop.
HardOCP and the AT7 Max2.
The AT7-MAX2 was very stable, offering no resistance to overclocking until we got beyond 173MHz FSB. At 173MHz FSB there were no glitches with drives or peripherals, and the machine ran smoothly for several hours at an ambient room temperature of ~80°F, with conventional forced-air cooling. The board was able to boot into WinXP and run SiSoft Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark at 183MHz FSB (for a score of 2795MB/sec), but was not stable enough to run any accelerated applications. The board would not boot at anything above 183MHz FSB, without changing the DRAM timings. With the following DRAM timings changed from what was pictured, the board would run at 185MHz max FSB.
