  • Review: Hiper HSU-3S350 Power Supply

    25 May 2004, 00:00

    22 May 2004, 00:00

    It\'s a tidy, polished implementation of a well trodden concept, with the odd rough edge here and there. But nobody else does a Pentium 4 SFF box quite like Shuttle, ...

    22 May 2004, 00:00

    It's hard to recommend XGI's top card with the current driver set. The company needs to bolster image quality before concentrating on all-out performance, really. A promising product that's severly ...

  • Review: Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott

    9 May 2004, 00:00

    Indifferent performance, heat problems, lack of S478 upgrade potential, and strained availability, at the end, all count against a recommendation for the Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott processor. Looking at the ...

    14 April 2004, 00:00

    NVIDIA have surprised me with NV40. It's rediculously fast compared to R360 in some tests, if you avoid the 8X supersampling mode. But there lies the rub. Shouldn't we expect ...
