Athlonmb.com has reviewed the Epox 8KTA+ motherboard.

I have posted up my review of the latest and greatest from Epox in ther line of AMD motherboards: the 8KTA+. This baby has all the features of the standard 8KTA, but adds in multiplier and voltage selection to the mix.

I have to say that this surprised me, and was going to head to head with even the big boys of the KT133 chipset motherboards. With only a few minor drawbacks, and a very low price, this motherboard will appeal to a large group of readers.

TweakTown has posted a review on the Gear Grip Pro. The GGP is like a briefcase for your computer case and accessories which is designed to transport your case from your car boot to LAN´s etc... It´s a excellent product that true hardcore LAN gamers should have.

LANing is excellent fun, but I think I´d be correct in saying a lot of us gamers would get annoyed with having to lug our cases and accessories around to different peoples places all the time, especially when you just want to get setup and getting into some Counter Strike action! A newly formed company in the United States called CaseAce have a nifty solution for us... Introducing the CaseAce Gear Grip Pro (GGP). The GGP is just like a briefcase for your PC case. This is what the owner, Alan Payne, has to say about the product. "CaseAce Products was established in early 2000 when I realized, while hauling my computer system around to a friend´s house for a LAN party, that I was risking more than just my virtual skin. Computer systems are awkward and bulky and I had visions of fragging my system well before I got the chance to do the same to my friends. With that experience and my design and engineering background, the GearGrip-Pro was conceived, designed and manufactured.

TweakTown has posted a quick review on the Arctic Silver "Premium Silver Thermal Compound".

High Speed PC provided us with the Arctic Silver compound which is apparently designed for small contact areas. Basically meaning for processors which are based on a 0.18 micron process or smaller - not that there are any processors smaller than 0.18 at the moment. These processors include all Coppermine (PIII, Celeron II), PIII SECC2, AMD Duron, AMD Thunderbird (Socket Version), AMD Athlon with heatplate removed and AMD Slot A Thunderbird with heatplate removed.

PCinsight has posted a review on the 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP graphics card.

During 3D operation, each scene (or single frame) can be divided into 128 horizontal "strips" and each VSA-100 chip is responsible for processing a definable (by the drivers) number of strips. As two VSA-100 chips are present on the Voodoo5 5500, each chip will be assigned to process only half the "strips" while the other chip processes the other half. By working together, the effective time to render a scene is vurtually cut in half.
