Guess what today is
Published: Tuesday, June 6, 2006 | By: DennisThe only reason I'm mentioning this is because of a movie that is opening today called the Omen, It's a remake of the 1970's "Horror / Mystery / Thriller" of the same name and by many accounts is almost a re-filming scene by scene with better special effects.
So why release a movie on a Tuesday?? well its the 6th day of the 6th month of the 6th year in 2000. Put that together and you get a very unique set of numbers that get Bible readers all packed up and running to the hills.
666
Enjoy your Devil day
, (if your into that sort of thing) and if anything go see the film just catch a glimpse of Julia Stiles. -

No News, Good News?
Published: Friday, June 2, 2006 | By: DennisSome people say that no news is good news, and while that might be the case in the event of war or speeding tickets it is not really acceptable in the high tech world of computer hardware.
We've been working hard on some rather large projects and reviews these past few weeks and should have some results of these efforts posted soon.
Bare with us. (though keep your clothes on)

ABIT Fatal1ty Professional AN9 32X Motherboard @ Legit Reviews
Published: Thursday, May 11, 2006 | By: DennisE3 is in full effect this week and while E3 is a gaming convention the growing trend is to have gaming hardware on display and have some "big shot" showing what it can do.
"While walking the show floor this week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) we spotted the ABIT Fatal1ty Professional AN9 32X motherboard on display for all to see. The AN9 32X will be the upcoming enthusiast board from ABIT that is based on the NVIDIA nForce 500 series of chipsets, which is the first NVIDIA chipset to support AMD's upcoming AM2 processors. "
Nice looking board btw. -
TeamGroup Xtreem 2x1gb Cronus @ EclipseOC
Published: Thursday, May 11, 2006 | By: DennisCheck out them heatspreaders!
" The TeamGroup Cronus Xtreem is a solid 2x1gb line. We get to have a close look at the Infineon/Aeneon based sticks rated to 250mhz at 3-3-2. It is a solid 2x1gb set for the money, and overclocks well to boot." -
Gigabyte Poseidon Chassis @ t-break
Published: Thursday, May 11, 2006 | By: DennisBased on the case construction and the look of the metal the Gigabyte Poseidon doesn't appear to be a very solid case but then again the review is focusing on airflow and not really how strong the case actually is.
"Inside the case we have five of 5.25" screw-less bays and two 3.5" screw-less bays along with an internal HDD bay at the bottom that can take three more drives. We like the screw-less design from Gigabyte that secures the drives very tightly preventing you from wasting any time with installing/removing the drives using traditional screws." -
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H Motherboard Review Posted
Published: Thursday, May 11, 2006 | By: DennisFeature wise the 975X7AA is right in line with many other high-end motherboards and the additional features offered on the 975X chipset really help the board to stand out. The most notable option is the pair of 16x PCI Express video card slots located in the middle of the motherboard.

DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR Review @ TweakTown
Published: Tuesday, May 2, 2006 | By: DennisDFI Strikes Again!
"While there isn’t much variation in scores at the benchmark level, we would recommend DFI and the LANParty UT CFX3200-DR to users who want to mod their case and show off a very flashy board, especially under U.V lights. This motherboard not only performs well and contains plenty of onboard features to keep you happy; it also looks good at the same time."
Not sure I like the memory on the other side of the processor but the location of the chipset is actually pretty darn good. -
Intel Pentium D 930 Goodness @ neoseeker
Published: Tuesday, May 2, 2006 | By: DennisI got me one of them 830's for a review we're working on and so far its quite the overclocker. It stands to reason that the 2MB edition would be about the same.
"We've published a review of Intel's Pentium D 930. This 65nm Dual Core part surprised us with its value. Value you say? That's right. Enthusiasts and overclockers will want to take note: we pushed this baby to 4.125GHz, a huge jump from its stock 3.0GHz speed using only stock air cooling! With that type of overclocking headroom this chip holds very well against even an X2 3800+."
Almost brings back the joy of the 2.4C
