CPU3D Review: Abit AX78 Motherboard (AMD 770)

Using AMD’s 770 chipset, Abit AX78 is aimed at the mainstream/budget market. It’s compatible with all AM2/AM2+ processors, and offers support for DDR2 ram and Hyper Transport 3.0 technology. We put it through the test and compare this chipset against its other sibblings … the AMD 790FX and the AMD 780G chipsets.

“After taking a quick look at the Abit AX78, I thought that it was a good all-rounder. For an AMD 770 based motherboard, it performs just below the AMD 790FX, and produced results as expected from a mainstream chipset.”

First of all, the game excluded multiplayer mode, and although there are quite a few successful games that include single player mode only, a sports game will not be successful taking that approach. Most of my friends for example will not even glance at a sports game without multiplayer. Konami, further shot itself in the foot by jumping the gun and releasing Pro Evolution Soccer without proofreading the final product (the game has sections that do not function properly or at all, such as the unplayable penalty mode or the completely vestigial snow/dry environments.

“USB CopyNotify! (£67.99, monitors 10 PCs) plugs the data leak that takes place in most offices due to unauthorised usage of USB devices, such as phones, cameras and MP3 players. Flash drives are a particular threat because they are so small that they are easily carried into the office, plugged into a computer and used to copy confidential data without detection, thus making established data security measures vulnerable. While there is lots of software that takes care of data security and theft of confidential data, these products are probably too complicated and bloated for small companies with limited IT staff. USB CopyNotify! is simple to install and manage and doesn’t require network security policies, access and control policies, active directories or domain controllers. In other words, it’s aimed at the small-business user who is data security conscious but doesn’t have the time, money or expertise for sophisticated network management and control.”

As a computer geek, there have been times, where I needed a long run of USB cable.  However, most standard USB cables measure from four to eight feet in length.  What if you needed a longer stretch of USB cable?  Well, the folks at USBFever have the perfect solution for this dilemma.  If you have a spare Cat5e or Cat6 cable lying around, then the USB 2.0 Extension Cable to Cat5e or Cat6 Extender Adapter is the solution to your USB connection problems.  This device allows you to create a USB extension cable essentially limited only by the length of the Cat5e or Cat6 cable used.  The maximum length is 150 feet, but seriously, if you need to hook up a USB device a 150 feet away, maybe you should not be using that type of device.
