This is what the midrange is all about. Good IQ combined with good performance and 9600 Pro (and 9500 Pro before it) certainly brings that to the table.

As a platform, we're pretty impressed. 200MHz front side bus can't hurt and the DDR memory infrastructure has long been in place to support the move. NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 ...

Are the JIUHB XP1700s the new AXIAs ? (remember them ?). No, they're probably just little bit better in terms of overclockability. We managed a default voltage overclock of close ...

The biggest challenge faced by the Barton is its performance against arched rivals Intel and their flagship the P4 3.06. Intel have added ‘Hyper-Threading’ to further enhance performance in the ...

Considered in absolute isolation, the SK41G is a fine machine. It uses the base mould from the popular Intel shuttles to good effect. We see almost every feature carried over ...

For now though, the winner of this shootout is the ABIT KX7-333 for its no hassle speed and stability - a simply outstanding board. It isn't packed with features I ...

Building on the KT266 chipset that hasn't been the success that VIA would have liked, they now offer the KT266A to the masses as an AMD DDR solution. It's this ...

It looks formidable on paper. Stacked with technology and useful features, ABIT have their interpretation up and raring to go. Taking advantage of almost everything that the nForce2 has to ...

What do I look for in a motherboard? Stability, speed, features, and a comprehensive bundle. The EPoX 8K9A2+ scores well on most counts. As an example of the KT400 chipset, ...

Today though isn't an ordinary motherboard day, as the AT7-MAX2 definitely has broken the mould as far as socket A boards go...
26 October 2002, 00:00
The bus clock increase and the new speed from nForce2 are really something to be proud of. The Asus board is a delight and it only needs voltage adjustment to ...

Shuttle may not be a household name in the same vein as Asus, Gigabyte, or MSI, but if they keep producing motherboards that are as stable, feature-rich, and tweakable as ...

The new features including USB2.0 are very welcome and bring the board up to the feature level of all new boards coming out these days, added to the performance that ...

Without sounding like an AMD advert, this CPU is pretty special. The changes made to the core have made all the difference and the CPU now scales well at 0.13u.
21 July 2002, 00:00
Before we talk about the boards themselves, familiarise yourself with the older DRAGON boards if you need to by taking a look here at our review of the older KT266 ...

10 June 2002, 00:00
Underneath the name it's quite a different beast from XP2100+ and represents a big change for AMD, namely their success in bringing a 0.13u process desktop processor to market. It's ...

Asus are well known for quality of build in its products. The A7V333 motherboard is no exception. This particular motherboard is based on the VIA KT333 chipset which has the ...

Chipset support for multi processor systems is one thing but the CPU also needs to have certain features present before it can be used with a supporting chipset. To take ...

14 April 2002, 00:00
So what is the EPoX 8K3A like in practise after all the benchmarks are run and all the talk about KT333 is over? It's one of the most stable boards ...

14 April 2002, 00:00
We feel that Asus have done a pretty good job with the A7V266-E. It's well presented, has a multitude of features and is a champion in the stability stakes. The ...

13 March 2002, 00:00
Another release from AMD sees them, in our eyes at least, back at the top of the desktop CPU market. The XP2100 simply enhances what is already an excellent processor. ...

13 March 2002, 00:00
We at Hexus like to see just how far we can push our kit. MSI, historically, have not paid too much attention to the overclocking community. This seems to have ...

The time period between the release of the Athlon XP1800 and this new chip, the 1600Mhz XP1900 can be measured in days. Indeed, the initial AthlonXP range which included the ...

30 January 2002, 00:00
So It seems we need to keep the 137 or higher front (140 is ok but occasional blue screen....) side bus, and go for a bigger multiplier....... But this gives ...

The Duron gets our value performance thumbs up and makes a great processor for a 2nd system or the user on a budget.

7 January 2002, 00:00
Overall it was a pleasure to use, but nothing special, except in the performance. It seems like the extra time spent by Abit has paid off, not in feature count ...

7 January 2002, 00:00
Incredibly fast and incredibly expensive are the buzzwords to take away from this review when thinking about this processor.

21 September 2001, 00:00
It seems that Abit have entered this class of motherboard market later than the others. Epox have had its 8K7A and 8K7A+ boards out for a while and Asus with ...

If two years ago we'd said you would see a budget CPU for under $80, which is at 1GHz, you might've said we were being fanciful...
