We just updated the Foxconn Qbook Tech Report with new details on its storage and battery options. Check it out! Here’s a quote :
Foxconn may be a relative newcomer to the retail business, but they are actively expanding in all areas. In addition to their motherboard and graphics card business, they are also delving into the Mobile Internet Devices (MID) market. Their first MID product is the new Foxconn Qbook. Will the Qbook bring something new to the table, or will it just be another Eee PC clone? Let’s find out.

The Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 is new low-cost Core 2 processor targeted at the mainstream market. Unlike other Wolfdale-based processors though, the Core 2 Duo E7200 has half its L2 cache disabled. This leaves the processor with only 3MB of L2 cache. It also uses a slower FSB speed of 1066 MHz.
But does that mean it is slower than the Conroe-based Core 2 Duo processors that have 4MB of L2 cache and a faster FSB speed? You would be surprised at the results when we tested this processor and compared it against the performance of the Conroe-based Core 2 Duo processors.

RAID, short for Redundant Array of (Inexpensive or Independent) Disks, is an important component for servers. RAID allows for crash-proof hard drive systems. How does it work? What is the difference between the many RAID levels? We will explain everything in this article!
Here’s a quote from the guide :-"Accessibility is the biggest advantage of RAID. RAID technology makes data more accessible by preventing slowdowns or problems due to a hardware failure. RAID systems can sustain several bad sectors and even disk failures; and continue running, while being transparent to the user. But all that accessibility comes with a price."

Ever wanted a guide on hard drive performance, where you can compare the performance of a wide range of hard drives? Well, we are not quite there yet, but that is our ultimate objective.
In this performance comparison guide, we will test and compare the performance of all the hard drives we can get our hands on. This is similar to what we are doing in the Intel Core 2 Processor Performance Comparison Guide.
Here’s a quote from the guide :-"WinBench 99 2.0 has proven that it can still serve as a consistent and reliable hard drive benchmark even in Windows Vista. It has given us a lot of interesting data. If the Business and High-End simulations were not good enough, the raw transfer rate results were certainly most useful. From the transfer rate results, you can see which hard drive has a higher transfer rate, and how areal density affects that performance metric. It also shot down the perception that a newer model is always faster."

With all the talk going around about Intel’s upcoming Bloomfield desktop processor, many enthusiasts are anxious to know more about the next-generation Intel processors which are slated to be launched in Q4 of 2008.
It appears that motherboard companies like Foxconn have already started preparing for the launch. We were able to obtain some details of the upcoming Foxconn X58 Renaissance motherboard. Check it out!

NVIDIA CEO Huang Jen-Hsun must have felt quite sick when Intel announced that they chose to go with ATI’s CrossFire X technology in the recently-launched Intel 4 Series Express chipsets and the upcoming Intel X58 Express chipset, instead of NVIDIA’s competing SLI technology.
Of course, no one expects NVIDIA to take it lying down. As big as Intel is, NVIDIA thinks they can outsmart their erstwhile partners and they may have just done that with their newly-announced [b>nForce 200 SLI processor[/b>. What is it?

Specifications are all well and great, but can you really tell how much faster is one processor from another? Both Intel and AMD are trying to do just that with their model numbering scheme. But with over 30 SKUs, the Intel Core 2 family of processors has become a confusing bunch of numbers.
We begin a performance comparison project for the Intel Core 2 family of processors where we test and compare the Intel Core 2 processors’ performance in five different benchmarks. It will show you exactly where a higher clock speed would be more advantageous and where the number of processing cores is far more important, as well as situations where the processor itself won’t really matter much.
Here’s a quote from the guide :-"In this article, we will be comparing the performance of several Intel Core 2 processors in five benchmarks - three game-based benchmarks and two application benchmarks. We hope to add on more and more results as we get hold of additional Core 2 processors over time. Let’s take a look at the Core 2 processors we have rounded up for this comparison."

There are so many CPU models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different models or even remember their specifications.
Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various desktop CPUs in the market, as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete.
Currently covering 655 desktop CPUs, this comprehensive comparison will allow you to easily compare up to 18 different specifications for each and every CPU.
