OCZ Tempest CPU Cooler Review |
|
November 29th, 2006 - While testing on a dual core X2 3800+ AMD processor, we foundthat the Tempest was good enough to allow our system to run at stockspeed. Judging by the load temperatures, we would not expect the Tempestto allow us extreme overclocking, but we could overclock up to 500MHzwhile maintaining temperatures below 60=BAC. If you''re looking for asmall sized CPU cooler that does the job right, the OCZ Tempest isprobably the suitable cooler for you. Priced at $50, the OCZ Tempest isnot too expensive considering that you are getting a CPU cooler withexcellent bundle and bright blue LED fan.

Battlefield 2142 Review: Battlefield 2142 for PC |
November 16th, 2006 -
Battlefield 2142 is worth a look for all of you Battlefield fans out there.
EA Games'' official web site gets right to the point.
"The year is 2142 and the dawn of a new Ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth s population. The math is simple and brutal: some will live, most will die."
games xtreme has a review up today covering some of the details.
WoLf offered me, as a fan of EA Battlefield games, the chance to review the latest sequel to the Battlefield family. I have played Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 online and with friends quite a bit and was looking forward to the future.
...Battlefield 2142 comes with a complete new game mode. Conquest is still in the game, but Titan mode brings new tactics on the battleground. Flags on the map have been replaced by missile silos. Capture such a silo and it will launch missiles at the enemy titan every three minutes. The goal is to destroy the enemy titan, before your opponents do so to yours. But that alone wouldn''t be so much different.
...I think Battlefield 2142 is bringing enough to make it worth playing. All the new unlocks, and extras to good teamwork surely make it interesting. But it is hard to say whether it is better than it''s siblings. Once in a while I long back to flying in the old WWII planes, and being the captain on a battleship. And maybe in a couple of months I will start Battlefield 2 for a couple of games. For now I am hooked. I just hope that the annoying issues will be taken care of, starting with the soon expected second patch. That would make it even a better game."

CSS Transparency in Firefox, Opera, IE, and Mozilla |
November 14th, 2006 - This article on CSS transparency explains how to achieve a transparency effect with CSS using a combination of opacity and filter properties.
In the past some Web designers used the Internet Explorer''s filter:alpha attribute to modify the transparency of a page element. Unfortunately this method leaves out everybody using an alternative browser.
Fortunately, browsers have increasing support of CSS, and the opacity and -moz-opacity attributes in particular. Setting all of the properties we have available for opacity and alpha transparency, we achieve a transparency effect that is supported by Firefox, Opera, IE, Mozilla, and others.

What is Ajax? A definition of Web development with Ajax |
November 13th, 2006 - eLanceTalk has offered up a definition of Ajax, and is asking you to join in on the discussion and describe what Ajax means to you.
The question is asked time and time again, and not always clear even to those who are working with Ajax!
The term Ajax is short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It was coined in 2005 by Jesse James Garrett. Ajax is not a specific programming language or technology. Ajax is a Web development technique. Ajax brings dynamic data interactivity to Web pages. For example, a Web client sorts a column of data, and the data is automatically changed with live server data without reloading the entire page.
The appeal of Ajax is obvious - less waiting for the Web user and a more pleasant and responsive environment.

If you are looking for a feature rich motherboard withunlimited expendability, the P5W64 WS Pro should be in your shortlist.Synonymous with their motto, the motherboard was rock solid and hearttouching! We put it through hours and hours of torture testing, but themotherboard didn''t even once crashed or rebooted on us. Withoverclocking capability up to 429FSB on our little Core 2 Duo E6300, theP5W64 WS Pro has to be one of the top overclocking 975X basedmotherboard in the industry.

Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRSH Review Ninjalane |
|
October 31st, 2006 - The layout of this motherboard is very well designed with quitea bit of detail given to making room for two monster video cards. Ofcourse if you don''t have two monster video cards you''ll get to use theabundance of expansion slots otherwise you''ll likely be down to a single1x PCI Express slot and one regular PCI.
