For those not swimming in the digital camera sea every day, 6MP imagers are the new sweet spot for most manufacturers, up from 5 last year and 4MP the in 2004. Since next year is 2007, will 7MP be new standard at that time? Who cares? We’ll deal with what’s currently in our hands--which are cameras with ever higher resolution.

Soon I realized that the default memory configuration of 512 MB is not enough. Since the official memory upgrades are rather expensive I thought I'd give G.SKILL notebook memory a try. These modules come for about half the price of the original memory and offer rock stable performance for your memory hungry applications.

The drive spins up, then plug the USB cable into the PC and it detects it as per usual for USB-connected hard drives. This is the recommended order for connecting the drive - as in, don't plug USB in and then power it up. I actually did that first and it didn't detect the drive. The HAL-like red LED indicates USB activity, by the way.Review Link ~ OCAU Wed, 22 Mar 2006 06:46:52 -0500 http://www.pc-base.net/Article804.phtml There are a few inbuilt screens of system information, as well as many plugins (and more here), and if needs be you can even program a plugin yourself.

You see, this card really isn't an X800, it's really a lot more. The limited edition X800 GTO2 is based o­n the ATI R480 core, not the R430 core used by other X800 video cards. For those out of the loop, the R480 core is the same core that drives the ultra fast X850 XT. So why is this card call an X800? Because four of its 16 pixel pipelines are turn off. That makes it just like any other X800 video cards, with 12 pixel pipelines. However, using a widely available BIOS tweak will enable the remaining four pixel pipelines, so you'll have a graphics card with the same number of pipes as the X850XT.Review Link ~ The Techzone Wed, 22 Mar 2006 06:42:12 -0500 http://www.pc-base.net/Article802.phtml Professional small-format photos the easy way, with a compact portable photo printer roughly the same size as a loaf of bread and engineered like a nuclear powered toaster!
