3D PROFESSOR tests the Supermicro PDSGE motherboard, an AKASA EVO 120 CPU heatpipe Cooler aray, an AKASA Powerplus 650W workstation server and a Coolermaster Aquagate R120 water cooler system. 3D Professor uses the PNY Quadro FX4400 video card and a series of professional benchmarks to bring out the best of those components.
Firing Squad's headline is dominated by the Geforce 7800GTX coupled with the Athlon 64. Best of the crop GPU and CPU combined. From the A64 3000+ to the latest FX57, see how the 7800GTX performs for the gamers and see whether it is worth the while upgrading. Also included in the benchmarks is a Geforce 6800GT for comparison. Sweet spot is the A64 3500+.
Phoronix tests the 7800GTX with Linux drivers. The latest GPU from nVidia does disappoint horribly. They point out that the drivers released on the same day as the launch of the Geforce 7 did not bring about the performance expected. They will do a re-run as soon as they get new drivers.
Digit-life has a technical write up of the Perfomance and Power consumption features of the Pentium M. You'll be submerged by the amount of information available there. They also touch upon the Celeron M which they call the Celentrino.
TT-hardware, a French website, tests the Aopen 1559 which features the MXM upgradable PCI-express based laptop graphic card. The Aopen laptop is home to several quality components like 80GB SATA150 HDD, a 2GHz Dothan CPU and 1GB DDR2-533 memory. Also included in the article, some close up photos of the laptop. TT-hardware gave it a 9/10 marking.
The Intel Pentium XE 840 and the Pentium D 840 are on test at Hardwarezone. As usual loads of benchmarks, nice figures and nice spreadsheet captures. But the most important part of any review is its conclusion. And HWZ points to a critical problem, the fact that with Dual Core and Hyper threading, the OS does not recognize which pair of Logical processors belong to which core. µ
I certainly would be upset if I spent $600 only to deal with these problems.
