It's tempting to criticise it too much but I'll say this: as a method of adding good quality (although not audiophile level), multi-channel audio with a digital, optical output port ...

It's easy to play with simple controls for the beginner, but enough complexity for the pro to pull off a forward stanced high spin fade onto an uphill green in ...

With a mediocre game bundle that needs a revamp, a utility set that borders on the weird (you want to use a £372 games accelerator to provide security on your ...

Like any company, a CPU's fundamentals need to be sound... which is fortunately the case with the AMD Athlon 3400. Performance in spades, at least two chipsets with solid, stable ...

It's a very bare package and it feels like unless you're on a really tight budget, you'd get much better value for a little more investment higher up the P4 ...

When evaluating a product for a final rating, we look at a number of factors. Firstly, how much has the manufacturer done to appease a wide spectrum of users ?. ...

The defining role of any small form-factor system is to thoroughly question the need for a standard beige box. There\'s not much it can\'t do, and it does cause us ...

This summary may sound like a flow of praise. If it does, it's because both systems deserve it. £1500 goes a hell of a long way right now. Both MESH ...

You know that feeling of disappointment you get when you're really excited about something that seems so promising, only to be let down by a couple of niggling little details? ...

The FSP Silent-Solution Kit is certainly a very nice product. With great PSUs from leading companies such as Enermax and Antec, it leaves a small gap in the market for ...

Sheer performance isn\'t great with a discrete AGP card. However, the combination of the factors listed above raise it from being a poor system to one that has merit. This ...

ABIT's first stab at S754 glory is a decent enough attempt. We'd prefer a revised layout that makes installation easier and a newer BIOS that uses AMD's Cool'n'Quiet tech. to ...

Performance and stability were both good. Noise is another subjective issue. ABIT helps the user counter it by supplying an excellent BIOS. The hardware monitoring section allows for some fan-speed ...

In summary, a new twist on a proven formula. The AI7 is a decent and stable board. The problem is that there's plenty of those floating around. Add a PAT-like ...

It\'s quiet, nView 3.0 is excellent, the 2D quality was the best I\'ve ever seen in isolation using my Sony G400 monitor and it should be comparatively cheap. Radeon 9800XT\'s ...

Halo offers nothing new to the genre in anyway. Anything which Halo has implemented here has already been done better by a myriad of other games. The only new thing ...
26 November 2003, 00:00
In summary, excellent performance that could easily be even better, a meagre software bundle but excellent monitor and speaker system to balance it out. Good features mean you get some ...

It's these kind of factors that will plague any 9800XT model. Hercules' is a sound one. It does exactly what it says in the box and is quiet in doing ...

Two boards that highlight the power of the Athlon 64 3200+ to the fullest. Both are extremely fast and carry a reasonable feature set. Yet we feel as if both ...
23 November 2003, 00:00
4 port SATA, lots of USB2.0 and FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, the FrontX and Transpo hardware, class topping Socket A performance, excellent audio, attractive looks. I'm struggling to think what else ...

Perhaps we\'re being critical here but the XPC line doesn\'t seem to have evolved greatly over the past 18 months. We want it all, all without compromise. That entails Wi-Fi ...
17 November 2003, 00:00
The iDEQ 200T is pretty good, especially if this is your first foray into the SFF world. It's by far the easiest to work with. Performance is adequate, even if ...

The Cool Drive 3 is certainly a hard drive cooler to consider if you are concerned about the temperature of your hard disk drive. This is by far one of ...
11 November 2003, 00:00
I believe we\'ve proved that it\'s a fallacy to state microATX boards cannot compete with full-blown desktop offerings in most respects. Manufacturers have become acutely aware that the form factor ...

So if you\'re looking to rid yourself of the shackles imposed by wires the iNeXq is a good a starting point as any. Suggested pricing puts the Access Point at ...

I honestly can't think of a more compelling graphics card purchase in recent times. It fits so many possible scenarios. It'll play Half Life 2 and Doom 3 when they ...

The Hercules isn't a 22" inch wide, wallet busting behemoth, with questionable gaming attributes. It slots right in to the sub £325 gamer oriented LCD market with notable aplomb. 17 ...

In summary, the Shuttle SB65G2 is an effortlessly competent barebones unit that\'ll appeal to many potential buyers on the basis of performance, portability, features, stability and overclocking potential. It\'s not ...

Looking around various on-line etailers, the Creative MuVo NX 128MB can be had for a touch under £90. We feel that\'s just about an acceptable outlay for a product that ...

It overclocks decently, SmartDoctor makes it quieter than almost any other card, it's presented well, exudes quality and carries ASUS' 3 year warranty. Factor Half Life 2 into the price ...
