Hexus has posted a review on Quake 3 Team Arena.

So its about 14 months or so since the original Q3 came out. The WOW! factor of Quake 3´s graphics wore off about 10 months ago, and the game sat deinstalled from my system for ages. The original Quake 3 to me was a very shallow and disappointing Deathmatch-only experience. There were a few token CTF maps in the original, but they were badly designed and didn´t have all the runes and grapples that CTFers yearned for.

FullOn3D.Com has posted a preview of VIA´s Apollo Pro 266 chipset.

We first took a look at Shuttle AV30 in our Apollo Pro 266 preview. This time around, Shuttle supplied an engineering sample of their AV32 motherboard. While the AV30 features makes it a prime target for the overclocker market, the AV32 features a less attractive expansion slot configuration and less features for the overclocker. However, a significant feature of the AV32 is that it takes advantage of the VIA Apollo Pro 266 support for both DDR SDRAM and normal SDRAM by providing 2 DDR DIMM slots and 2 SDRAM DIMM slots, allowing the user to install either DDR or SDRAM but not both.

Overclockers Online has posted a review on the AOpen HQ45 case.

The AOpen HQ45 comes with a 250W powersupply. 250W is certainly more than enough to supply the average user with enough power for his hardware. However, a 300W powersupply isn´t a luxury when you´re using a couple of hard drives, a cd-rom, a cd-writer, expansion cards, kick-ass cooling, ... My experience with the HQ45 tells me that the 250W p/s has enough power to feed the maximum amount of hardware that fits into the HQ45! So, don´t worry about the powersupply too much. The p/s has quite a lot of molex connectors so you don´t have to worry about having power for your two hard drives and cd-rom drives.

Adrian´s Rojak Pot has posted a review on the 64MB ACE CompactFlash memory card.

These cards are based on flash memory technology which is non-volatile. That means it does not require power to retain its data. As such, it will not lose data even if disconnected from the host device or any power source. This is completely opposite of volatile memory technologies like SDRAM and RDRAM, where the memory cells have to be periodically refreshed to retain their contents.
