Gigabyte P4 Titan Series 8TRX330-L @ Techware Labs
Published: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 | By: DennisHere is something from the not so distant, its almost the present, past.
"Overall, 8TRX330-L is a great performance board. The BIOS features provides your average user the simple one option to overclock without guess work allow the user that ability to get just a little more out of their machine then having to stick with the defaults."
What the review doesn't tell you is that behind the cryptic wording and sporadic paragraphs you will find an ATI enabled motherboard from Gigabyte that supports the 478pin Intel processor. -

Asustek starts delivering Nvidia nForce 4 SLI motherboards
Published: Tuesday, December 7, 2004 | By: DennisSLI is almost here!, I can't wait.
"Asustek Computer has started delivering Nvidia nForce 4 SLI-based motherboards to the channel, according to the company and sources in the channel. These motherboards support Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX and Athlon 64 processors.
Small volumes of Asustek’s A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard arrived in stores last week and were sold immediately, Asustek said. The company added that it will gradually increase its shipments later this month, while shipments to other markets will start this week."
The only sad part is that they sell for about $216US each. -

Gainward 2400 Ultra GLH @ 3D Professor
Published: Tuesday, December 7, 2004 | By: DennisIt is too bad that Gainward doesn't support Ninjalane with review samples, especially since we pimp their stuff on a regular basis.
(yes its the red PCBs that does it
)
This is also no normal 6800 since it comes with "1200MHz high speed 1.6NS DDR3", go Gainward! -
Gigabyte GA-8GPNXP Duo @ Envy News
Published: Tuesday, December 7, 2004 | By: DennisI always get a kick out of marketing jargon like this.
"The GA-8GPNXP is a proud member of Gigabyte's new 8 SIGMA lineup. The 8 SIGMA series is Gigabyte's flagship motherboard implementations which are comprised of what is labeled as a "Fusion of Top Innovations"."
I almost get choked up thinking about it.
I'm not razzing on purpose but poking fun because most of the features in their "8 SIGMA series" actually come with chipset meaning that you get them with every i915P enabled motherboard. Be sure to check out the "U-Plus DPS system" slot thing, this allows you to add another 4 phases to the onboard power supply. -
Firefoxs biggest obstacle is lazy programming
Published: Monday, December 6, 2004 | By: Dennis"Peter Tippett, chief technologist at security risk management firm Cybertrust, said Firefox will probably gain market share with home and small business users but will struggle in the enterprise because corporate applications have not been built to work with anything but IE."
If you've been dealing with web technology for as long as I have you will know how true that statement really is.
Heck I remember having to battle my co-workers over cross browser compatibility almost on a daily basis. -
SilverStone Temjin TJ04 Case Review Posted
Published: Monday, December 6, 2004 | By: DennisThe casemodders perspective has returned
The front panel is really the key design element on the SilverStone TJ04 and defines the entire case as a modern piece of computer hardware. The elegant lines and brushed finish are very clean and require no further modifications.
