Allied Telesis AT 1700AT

Advantages: Excellent functionality, durability
Disadvantages: Size/weight

...I’ve owned a Revo now for around 6 months and have found it to be invaluable, even if I will admit I originally purchased it as a nice-to-have gadget. The unit is durable and has stood up well to some fairly arduous treatment, and still looks (as one would expect) good as new. The main decision, as I see it, when choosing a PDA at the moment is what exactly you will use it for. I like the 3Com Palm VX very much, and strongly considered buying one when I purchased the Revo. What made my mind up were the onboard applications that come with the Revo (Microsoft compatible spreadsheet and word processor for a start). This, allied to it’s very passable keyboard led me to choose the Psion, as it allows me to work whilst on the move - even allowing me to check my emails when allied to my (Ericsson T28) mobile phone. The Palm VX, with it... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and runs most older games with minimal fuss.
Disadvantages: No shader support and not very powerful.

...With this card on the market i really wanted this one when i was buying a new PC. Having no idea about the games being developed and the details of graphics cards I got one. I was impressed how it boosted the detail of every game i had in my house. I was able to play "medal of honour: allied assault" quite well with a decent Framerate of around 80-100. Most games nowadays require shader support, and that is something this card does not have therefore you will very likely loose out on the features of that game plus a very poor framerate due to the old design of this card. Make no mistake though, Nvidia have a reputation for not making good quality graphics available but they specialise in the stability of their cards. And this card was very stable, i dont remember any unnecissary rendering times and RAM access. There a bunch of flaws... Read review

Advantages: cheap, powerful and with a better design than intels pentium processors
Disadvantages: maybe lacks some of the brute force of intels pentium processors

....8 gigahurz. After actually trying to overload the computer I found it almost possible as I couldnt contend with the athlons speed. The only thing that worried me was the compatability of my chip with games. After inserting Medal of honour allied assault I was fearful of lag but to my delight I was in the midst of battle on the highest settings with top speed throughout. I learnt that there isnt a bad area of design in this chip and it excels at whatever u throw at it. If u are getting a new pc with xp then definately get this chip and if u want to upgrade your processor then I'd still say buy this over a pentium 4 even if u dont mind spending double the money. Overall a top quality cpu with no faults (except it might lack against the un-needed total workhorse that is the pentium 2.2 gig). This just excellerates in all areas. Buy it, its... Read review
