HighPoint Rocket 1511

Advantages: easy instructions, very easy on the eyes, runs on both batteries and electricity, can store many books, etc...
Disadvantages: price may be too high for some $269.00 U.S (Pro) or $199.00 (regular) plus shipping and handling

...Rocket e-book is an electronic book reader used to read electronic books. Electronic books are books but are not written on paper. You have to read the books on your computer screen or on an electronic reader such as the Rocket e-book reader. You can get loads of information on the electronic reader at http://www.Rocket-eBook.com. I bought one online using a secure line with my credit card (Rocket eBook Pro) at Powells.com about two months ago. Now I am in reading heaven. I can download the electronic books from various online publishers right into my little reader. I found the e-reader extremely easy on the eyes, easy to use and it is even shaped like a paperback novel. The instructions are quite simple to follow and most of the electronic books I've downloaded and read on the rocket book have been excellent. Currently... Read review

Advantages: Fast, great visual quality, 8 pixel pipelines, 256-bit memory bus, 256MB, great package, cheaper than most rivals, quiet and compact,
Disadvantages: Expensive, replaced by the x800xt, runs very hot, Overdrive is pointless

...’s a summary of the key reasons why this card performs so well: • 256-bit memory bus • 8 pixel pipeline design • Efficient scene sampling – efficient Anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, hyper Z compression, and lots of other cunning tricks. • Fast enough clock speeds for memory and core to keep everything running smoothly despite old .15micron manufacturing process. The 9800XT uses a 256-bit memory bus–this means that 256 bits of data can be moved to and from the memory and visual processing unit per clock cycle. If you consider the bandwidth differences between the 128-bit and 64-bit FX5200, with the same clock speeds, memory bandwidth is theoretically halved from one to the other. This is a major performance hitting reduction, especially when rendering a scene at high resolutions. This is because so much more can information can... Read review

Advantages: Good solid midrange card that won't let you down with some overclocking potential.
Disadvantages: A little bit too middle range given superior competition for less.

...N.B. www.cahtech.co.uk and cahtech.beigetower.org is MY site. cah and chrisah1 is me. The Powercolor and Sapphire cards actually perform identically within adequate error margins. Bundles are the same. I have changed this review enough to reflect the different product. Thanks to Custom PC magazine, and ATI for making this review possible. Introduction: For my first every graphics card review here, I have chosen to focus on Sapphire's 9800SE which is based on the 9800 architecture from ATI. This card is simply another filler product from Sapphire. The 'SE' is a creation of ATI's chip partners who decided that the ATI line was not balanced enough and needed an extra 'midrange' product. This desire to capture the highly lucrative mainstream performance market of graphics cards seems to be quite beneficial to the consumer. From... Read review
