Athlon XP 2200+ hangs with the hard nuts

SOMEONE CALLED CPU-zilla has reviewed an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor over at HardwareZone. Here's what he reckons.

Miffed --possibly -- that the Frenchies over at VTR got plug for their 10-mobo spod-fest (yeah, I know now), the dashing Danes at HARDiNFO have been busy, they say, with a motherboard roundup of 10 boards all with the Intel i845G chipset. These 10 include the ABIT BG7, Gigabyte GA-8IGX and EPoX EP-4G4A+. "Unfortunately," they add, "the review is in Danish, but as you know benchmark results are, as always, a universal language..." Point your browser over here.

Hexus.net has a look Shuttle's tiddly new SS51 XPC over here. This is what everyone is after, they say, "a barebones mini system which has AGP an slot".

The Hexers also have a guide to silent running using a Coolermaster 110. "Eight pages of modding beauty!" they warn. That's here.

Those nice chaps at AMDZone have, they say, "Finally gotten back into the swing of video card reviewing." Here's their look at the GeForce4 Ti4200 from MSI, which, they reckon, is a great buy.

There's a mouse on the loose in the Viperlair. Slither over here. The Logitech iFeel Mouse can make vibrations that range from "short bursts to long shakes, it can even make musical notes when it vibrates." That's quite enough of that, thank you.

3dXtreme is "excited" to announce its comparison of Mushkin's PC3200 and Crucial's PC2700 memory on the KT333 platform. "Do you," they ask, "buy something like Muskin's PC3200 (400MHz) which will take us into the next generation of motherboards the kt400? Or do you buy something like Crucial's pc2700 (333 MHz) and worry about buying faster RAM when the kt400 boards arrive?" Wibble over here.

TechReport has a gander at an Abit IT7 MAX mobo over here where they ask such quesions as "Why is that floppy port still there? Should other motherboard manufacturers be afraid?"

Die Deutchen over at Tuningtotal serve up a review of ANTEC's Triple Blue LED Fan. "Daten, Fakten, Bilder - im Test!" they say over here. OK, here's a translation.

Die UK Phluxers fess up to not having produced much of worth lately. They're back though, they say, with a case-busting "Holesaw blowhole mod". That's over here.

Here's a wander around Globalwin's GAT001 aluminium case from tobitech.

And finally, Phil wrote to say he's trying to encourage dog+world to participate in his driver database. Somehow though, we -- ok I -- have deleted Phil's details. Where are you Phil?
