SonicGear i-Steroid 1

Whenever the subject of vacuum tube amplifiers is brought up, it is most likely that someone is discussing expensive hi-fi audio equipment. SonicGear brought this category of amplifiers to the computer world. Their i-Steroid 2.1 system represents a unique attempt at integrating “old-fashioned” vacuum tubes into the cold electronics and high-tech world. The name itself is obviously an allusion to iPod players and that becomes even more obvious by taking a glance at the device itself. ...

 

Samsung T220

Very often short descriptions in manufacturer manuals for displays are: exceptional design and excellent performances which is the case with Samsung T220. If some monitor looks nice we can see that by ourselves when we take it out from the packaging, but when it comes to other manufacturer’s promise (about performances) we need to check them by ourselves for its authenticity. Samsung T220 satisfied the first half of its description from the moment we put it on the table. ...

 

Canon IXUS 80 IS

This point-and-shoot camera gives impression of reliability and well built product. Canon IXUS 80 IS has all standard and expected functions without unnecessary “fancy” stuff that some manufacturers implement with intention to attract customers. Canon intended this model for users who desire modern, reliable and quality photo camera without any unusual functions (with limited usability). ...

 

SanDisk Ducati Extreme

SanDisk, as one of mayor flash memory manufacturers, naturally has big USB flash drive portfolio. It’s very hard to stand out, when there is a huge amount of different USB flash drive models from different manufacturers on the market. Generally speaking, you can only recognize a specific type only by its different USB casing. Design of casing is something that all manufacturers pay attention to attract more customers. On the other hand, in the eyes of final user a big plus is always bigger capacity and speed of data transfers. ...

 

Intel Core 2 Quad CPUs Side By Side

This time we’ve compared two CPUs: Core2Quad Q9300 (this is the bottom model of current lineup) and Core2Extreme QX9650 (the top model of current lineup). We have experimented with QX9650, bringing down its multiplier so we got whole palette of Core2Quad processors from Q9x50 generation. To make evaluation of performances we have included in test even Core2Extreme QX6850 which is the top model Quad CPU from previous generation (65nm). ...

Asus Announces P5Q Deluxe Motherboard PDF Print

ImageCatering to users who desire a motherboard that provides high performance, minimal power loss and the longest-lasting durability, Asus has released the new P5Q Deluxe motherboard. ASUS has broken new ground with its motherboard designs for the new Intel P45 chipset with the introduction of 16-phase power regulation technology.

 

Increasing the number of phases in the VRM (Voltage Regulation Module) components gives the ASUS R&D team the tools it needs to control the power supplied to the CPU, and this revolutionary power design provides the ultimate in enhanced power efficiency, reducing power loss and temperatures.

Asus' revolutionary 16-phase power design utilizes real hardware power regulation to guarantee genuine power efficiency. When the CPU load increases, the P5Q Deluxe automatically switches to 16-phases. As the CPU is idling, the P5Q Deluxe uses a responsive 4-phase system to power the CPU – which raises the VRM efficiency. A power design that does not have auto phase switching will be unable to increase power efficiency. Thus, lower VRM efficiency will still drop off the Output Current and result in wasted power and increased heat.

Specifications:
* CPU: LGA775 socket for Intel Core2 Extreme / Core2 Quad / Core2 Duo / Pentium Extreme / Pentium D / Pentium 4 Processors
* Chipset: P45/ICH10R
* FSB: 1600 / 1333 / 1066 / 800
* Memory: DDR2 1200
* ASUS Exclusive Features: EPU-Six Engine, Express Gate, Drive Xpert
