DeviantPC has posted a preview of NVIDIA's latest offering, the nForce 2.

In a quest for ever increasing overall system performance and hence bandwidth, NVIDIA have outlined the successor to their Twinbank memory architecture featured in the original nForce. Twinbank supposedly doubled system memory bandwidth and reduced latency by up to 50%..... Dual DDR Architecture again features 2 64bit controllers combining to create a 128bit memory interface. The two 64bit controllers working independently and theoretically outperform a single 128bit controller.

OCAddiction has put up an Antec Performance Plus 1080 SOHO File Server Case review

The name Antec has become synonymous with great cases. Their reputation in the gaming and enthusiast community has been earned by providing a quality product with good cooling and lots of space. The Plus1080 case boasts all of these features. The power supply is Antec’s TruePower 430 watt offering. It has 2 ball bearing fans on the bottom and rear for good cooling and reliability. The power supply controls the speed of the case fans through temperature monitoring and has a separate power lead for the fans. It also features 4 external 5.25 drive bays, 2 external 3.5 drive bays, and 4 internal 3.5 drive bays. All of the 3.5 bays are actually cages that have quick release levers for easy removal and installation. The case comes with 3 80mm cooling fans with options for 2 more. The placement of the fans is nice. There are 2 at the rear of the case near the processor and the video card, and 1 in the easy to open side panel that blows directly on the video card. The 2 optional mounts are located at the front of the case. One is actually integrated into the lower hard drive cage and the other is at the very bottom. All mounts, except that in the side, utilize snap in fan mounts for easy insertion and removal.

Explosive Labs has completed a review on the Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.4GHz CPU.

For all too long, Intel has been considered the company to turn to for industry standard microprocessors. However, over the last several years Intel has lost a lot of footing in the microprocessor market due to AMD, and even though things have cooled down, Intel has taken several hard hits due to heightened competition in the corporate semiconductor market with Motorola and Siemens.
