ASRock 4Core1333-eSATA2 Intel P31 Mainboard Review
OC Workbench posted ASRock 4Core1333-eSATA2 Intel P31 Mainboard Review

ASRock makes another first with its 4Core1333-eSATA2. This is probably the first time that we see ASRock making a entry level board with a recently announced chipset, the Intel P31.

ASRock 4Core1333-eSATA2 is based on the P31/G31+ICH7R chipset. Unlike its brothers that are based on 945GC chipset, supports the full range of Intel processors, they include LGA 775 for Intel Core Quad / Core Extreme / Core Duo, supporting Quad Core Kentsfield processors.

As we mentioned previously, this Intel P31 board runs faster than a P35. How much faster can it run? Will it be more successful than the P35 chipset? Read the review to find out.

Epson Stylus Photo R285 Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Epson Stylus Photo R285

This is a reasonable ink-jet photo printer, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd. Similar models from Canon and HP provide higher quality prints on plain paper and can match the Stylus Photo R285 on speed, despite their lower paper specifications. The Epson machine is quite cheap to run, but can be noisy, particularly if you print in draft mode.
