Hexus has posted a review on the Elsa Microlink 56K FUN Modem.
Microsoft president and CEO Steve Ballmer may have unveiled a new ASP licensing model here on Friday at Fusion 2000. But the pricing scheme is actually still a work in progress -- and the final version won´t be official until August 1.
So what is known about the new model? ASPs will pay either a per-user or per-processor monthly fee, but not a per-server price, according to Microsoft ISP and hosting chief Dwight Krossa. Microsoft (stock: MSFT) will not offer volume discounts on its hosted licensing deals, and ASPs will have to license directly from it.

PCinsight has put up a review of the Transcend AVE3 motherboard. Here is a clip....
The market is literally flooded by the overwhelming number of Apollo Pro 133A based motherboards. Iwill, for example, took a different approach by implementing IDE RAID on their VD133Pro mainboard. However, Transcend decided to take a rather "brute force" approach in pushing their AP133A offering. You will see later in this review why the AVE3 impressed us here and also why is just nearly missed receiving our Editor´s Choice award.Read more
