Toshiba Satellite L300-11G

Beside Satellite A300 and P300 notebook series, Toshiba also released on market redesigned Satellite L series. We will introduce you with all novelties through testing of model Toshiba Satellite L300-11G. L series didn’t experience that much cosmetic changes like new A and P series did. We could even say that Satellite L300 is less “fancy” than its predecessor. Some of us will count that as big plus because L300 has above all “neutral” design. ...

 

ATi Radeon HD 4870 X2

Launch of nVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 280 brought a huge enthusiasm in last two months, but it already begun to fade. The main “culprit” is ATi which showed to all of us that even when hard times come they are continuing with good work as if competition isn't a problem and as confirmation of their efforts we got incredible new generation of graphics cards. The whole story started with great Radeon HD 4850 and continued with HD 4870 that had GDDR5 memory. After great critics for these two GPUs, ATi was aware that they shouldn’t stop there, if they want to overthrown nVIDIA from the top performance throne. And they did it… ...

ASUS Crosshair II Formula

Engineers from ASUS took into account every little detail while designing Crosshair II Formula motherboard and by taking a closer look at layout it is obvious that they didn’t economize with components integrated into this motherboard. This had big impact on final price tag for this motherboard but all this doesn’t guarantee that configuration based on this motherboard will work flawlessly and be able to satisfy needs of every overclocker out there. ...

 

Biostar A740G M2+

Biostar introduced “office version” of motherboard based on “office” AMD RS740 chipset. Graphics core is based on RV410, identical graphics core as for AMD RD690 chipset. DX10 is not supported, which isn’t a big problem because there isn’t any integrated graphics that can run DX10 games with decent framerate yet.     ...

Knowledge, sport and something else
World Championships in football is taking place every four years. The winner raises trophies, on the wings of its triumph. Is Italy actually the world best football selection? Officially, yeah, it is! It is best prepared at the moment; therefore it is the best world selection. However, what would happen if the World Championship is to take place every four months? Every day, every hour? Minute? Or second? Probably someone else would be on throne.

Unlike WC in football, unofficial WC in overclocking lasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It literally means that in one moment you can have the best score in the world, and the very next day, you can be second or third. Goal is to obtain best possible frequency, best time or ultimate number of scores in benchmark software. Testing ultimate hardware limits over time turned into sport, or it is better to say, some type of sport. Extreme overclocking in competitive sense has all elements of sport. With inevitable talent, long-term training and experience gathering, there are also uncertainties, factor of luck, moments where it is necessary to take over responsibility, and of course, bad luck. In one word, sport.
