Asus CUV4X Review

General 8068 Published 2000-08-22 12:23 by Philipp Esselbach 0

VIAHardware has posted a review of the Asus CUV4X.

The CUV4X has almost the exact features of the P3V4X, with the exception of one less PCI slot and one less DIMM slot. Another noticeable difference between the two is the CUV4X uses VIA´s new 694z northbridge. This new northbridge offers no performance gain, but is simply pin-pin compatible with VIAs integrated plans. This means we will more then likely see a PM133 based Asus board. Also the southbridge on the P3V4X is the 586b which allows for only two USB ports and no onboard audio.

Gigabyte GA-7ZM Review

General 8068 Published 2000-08-22 12:18 by Philipp Esselbach 0

AthlonMB has posted their review of the micro-ATX motherboard from Gigabyte, the GA-7ZM.

There are two IDE ports, both of which are ATA66 compatible, and the primary chain is coded blue for ease during installation. On the opposite side of the motherboard lies the on-board audio and the expansion ports. The 7ZM includes 3 PCI slots, one of which is a shared slots with an AMR slot. One AGP slot is included on the board, and it is a universal slot, not keyed for 4x AGP cards. A note on the AGP port is the addition of the retention clip. Using this clip you can prevent the common pop-out of AGP video cards. There was one complaint from the techs here though: the retention clip makes the bottom snap-in part of the memory modules difficult to push in. You have to move the retention clip out of the way before you can fit your fingers under the memory clips.

This device is called the Visor Deluxe, and it is manufactured by Handspring; a company founded by the same people who developed the original PalmPilot. So what makes the Visor different from your average Palm? As it turns out, quite a bit. The following is a list of specifications of the different Visors available at the current time.
