ATI HD 2600 Pro 256MB Video Card Reviewed @ TheTechLounge

ATI HD 2600 Pro 256MB Video Card Reviewed @ TheTechLounge

Quote:

“ATI’s HD 2600 XT is a pretty nice card.  It plays games acceptably well, consumes a negligible amount of power, and has flawless video acceleration.  It’s my first choice for the mainstream.  So where does that leave the HD 2600 Pro?  Being a cut-down, budget version of a cool card, what, then, is missing? The HD 2600 Pro is targeted to anyone who wants a discreet video card, the casual gaming ilk, but doesn’t really want either the lowest-end model or to spend over a hundred dollars.  All that seems reasonable, but it’s just not true.  I think the GDDR3, 256MB HD 2600 Pro should be skipped altogether.  It does a couple things right, but misses the mark too often.”

Lite-On LH-20A1S 20x DVD+/- RW Drive Review @ OCIA.net

Comments: 0January 14th, 2008 by Kristofer

 

OCIA.net has posted their review of the Lite-On LH-20A1S 20x DVD+/- RW Drive.  Below is a direct quote from the review:

“With all of this ballyhoo about HD-DVD-this and Blu-Ray-that, it’s easy to forget that regular old DVDs and even our old faithful CDs are still quite posh. Not only is your box nearly unusable without some sort of compact disc reader for software, but most forms of entertainment such as movies and music still sells predominantly on these “old” formats of DVD and CD.“

Gigabyte 3D Mercury Water Cooled Case @ Phoronix

Comments: 0January 14th, 2008 by Kristofer

Title: Gigabyte 3D Mercury Water Cooled Case @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=11693
Summary: “Water cooling used to be a very daunting task for all but the
most experienced enthusiasts. It required time, dedication, and
knowledge of many different types of components, and installing them in
an orderly, professional matter was a very time consuming process. Many
have simply jumped ship, including me, and returned to air-based cooling
solutions over the past years. But nowadays, water cooling is becoming
more and more accessible. Just about every vendor involved in the
cooling business provides all-in-one systems, 5.25″ bay contraptions,
and integrated case solutions. Today we have Gigabyte’s 3D Mercury
integrated water-cooling case for review. The 3D Mercury is built around
Gigabyte’s 3D Galaxy water cooling system but is built into a large
chassis that is compatible with even Extended ATX motherboards.”
