Hi there, We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! "Similar to the X4875 and other models in the Professional Series inkjet line, the biggest selling point of the X9575 is the new warranty program from Lexmark that includes next-business-day replacement for up to one year after purchase. Furthermore, both high-yield and standard-yield cartridges are available for this series, should you intend to do larger print runs. At the top of the new line is the X9575, which offers built-in automatic two-sided printing, colour print speeds of up to 5ppm (11ppm for black), a 48-bit flatbed colour scanner, and pigmented inks that are highlighter, water and smudge." http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=754 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____

PNY Verto GeForce 9600 GT Video Card Review For roughly $150 the GeForce 9600 GT is one of the best price versus performance graphics cards on the street today. The card are looking at today is the PNY Verto GeForce 9600 GT and it features 512MB of GDDR3 frame buffer memory with a 650 MHz core clock. The PNY Verto GeForce 9600 GT is ready for PCI Express 2.0 motherboards and supports NVIDIA SLI technology. Read on as we compare it to an equally priced ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB graphics card to see how it fairs. Quote: "No doubt the PNY Verto GeForce 9600 GT was up against some stiff competition when we tested it at a resolution of 2560x1600. Given that the card is a reference model it performed admirably against the GeForce 8800 GT and GTS, and outperformed the Radeon HD 3870 in many of our tests at both resolutions. Considering that currently the Radeon HD 3870 has to have a rebate to match the price of our PNY 9600 GT it’s hard to argue against what a great value this card is..."

Hi all, We have just published a review of the *Samsung SyncMaster 2253LW widescreen monitor* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/06/04/samsung-syncmaster-2253lw-21-6in-widescreen/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/06/samsung-syncmaster-2253lw-21-6in-widescreen/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"Awkwardly proportioned and packed with ostensibly clever but actually rather pointless image quality enhancements, what exactly do we make of Samsung's new 21.6-inch display? In default mode---the mode we recommend you leave this display set to---it's a solid but unspectacular performer. The real problem, therefore, is pricing. At over £200, it's not exactly cheap. Especially when you factor in the missing HDMI port and 0.4-inch shortfall in panel size. That may not sound like a lot. But in the absence of any mitigating features, it's just noticeable enough to be a significant niggle at this price point." /* *Cheers guys! Tim Smalley www.bit-tech.net

The TechZone has posted video coverage from the Nangang convention center at Computex 2008 in Taipei.We start our Computex 2008 coverage with a tour of the new Nangang convention center. For 2008, Computex is spread across two convention centers, like the Consumer Electronics Show. However, the centers are pretty far apart from each other. The new center is very nice and much better looking and functional than the old one.Direct link: http://www.thetechzone.com/?m=show&id=738Image link: http://www.johnchow.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/computex1.jpgA news post would be most welcome.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Computex Taipei 2008 Coverage) - Day 2 News Links QUOTE: "Intel has the largest booth here in Nangang hall at Computex Taipei 2008 and they were showing off all their latest goodies including the obvious Atom based netbooks and other related products. On it’s Great Wall of 4 Series Motherboards, we spotted two Intel X58 samples on display to the public. Intel had many people gathered around the Atom area of its booth with obviously much interest in something very small. Our attention was focused on a small wall of Mini-ITX Atom based motherboards from Intel, Foxconn, Gigabyte and J&W. Before we show you the pictures of these boards, take a moment to get an understanding at just how small the Atom CPU chip is from the small picture we created.

OCC has published a new review on the Tuniq Miniplant 950W Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "I was pleased to see that the Miniplant came with a 3-year warranty, which adds a certain amount of value to the unit. The Miniplant comes with a very large price tag that could be hard to justify, however this power supply was able to deliver decent performance for what I could test with. When added in with the warranty I believe that it would be worth the price. As for SLI Ready I could not located this PSU anywhere on Nvidia's site as a recommended PSU for SLI setups."

Hello News Partner: Benchmark Reviews has released a new article which your readers might enjoy. We would be grateful if you would please share it with them. TITLE: QNAP NVR-1012 Wireless Network Surveillance Kit ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews DESCRIPTION: The age old saying of "Love thy Neighbor" may still be heard on any given Sunday and will likely receive a positive reception. However, if the saying happened to be "Trust thy Neighbor" the response would most likely be a little different. Gone are the days where one can feel comfortable leaving their house or cars unlocked, trusting that your employees are honest, or even that the babysitter is not mistreating your child. It is rare that you walk into a store nowadays without being watched by electronic eyes. While to some that may be troubling, the fact of the matter is, it is becoming more and more a necessity. In the past, those high tech security systems were reserved for the business that was forced to justify the expense or the rich guy that could afford the rather large expense of not only purchasing the system but having it professionally installed. Today Benchmark Reviews will be taking a look at a new product that hopes to reduce not only the cost barrier of the home/small office security system, but also virtually eliminate the installation hassle, the NVR-1012 from Qnap.

Read on further to find out what they are."

Good evening, Today Neoseeker reviewed the sort-of new 9600GSO. This one was from Palit, and it was a Sonic edition. Here it is: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/palit9600gso/ "Although the 9600GSO *is* the newest addition to NVIDIA's ninth generation, it isn't exactly as new as one might think. The standard 9600GSO shares all of the same specifications as does the 8800GS, which came out in January of this year. Although the under-reviewed 8800GS did not weigh down many North American hardware shelves, in Europe this card obtained a slightly more noticeable reputation as a less expensive, well-performing, sort-of "8800 GT Lite", with significant overclocking potential. While being re-packaged as 9600 GSO might annoy those who believe they are getting the latest product still hot out of NVIDIA's fabs, this card nonetheless has a combination of enticing specifications that could point towards a gaming bargain." Thanks for any links. ___________________________ Kevin Spiess Editor, Neoseeker.com 604.247.8886 ext.101
