Athlon X2 6000+

Advantages: Integrated Memory Controller
Disadvantages: TDP, Price, Relative performance

...AMD has been on the decline after Intel introduced its core 2 Duo line of processors. It has been late on 65 nm process and they are paying for that. They had the market under total control just one year ago, but now they have lost even their loyal customers. AMD has to produce something very powerful and should be done quickly or they will even lose the small share that they has got. Coming to the processor, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is a midrange processor to compete Intel in the midrange segment. It is powerful but not enough to beat Intel's counter parts. I got this processor in the PC which my uncle gifted to me. So, I have got it free. If I were given a choice before it was gifted to me, I certainly would have asked for an Intel processor in the same price range. Looking at the processor, we note that it's speed is 3 GHz. It has...

XMI X-mini 2

Advantages: Really small, great sound and loud
Disadvantages: Only mono don't expect it to be deafening

...*** Introduction *** Since it?s the summer and I thought that I would be out and about a bit, camping, on the beach and such I thought it would be a good idea to get myself some portable speakers for a little entertainment when out. I did a little research and finally settled on the XMI X-mini 2 which I bought from Amazon which was a bonus as I could use my vouchers from here so effectively got it for free. *** Packaging *** When I first received the package containing the little speaker I thought that it was rather big, the box measures 16x16x6cm. The product itself sits in the centre of the box under a clever little plastic dome for protection taking up a relatively small amount of room in the box. The rest of the box is made from cardboard; it is mainly dark grey and black in colour with a few colourful blue waves. Around...

Review of XMI X-mini II Mini Speaker

My sagem My X-2

Advantages: cheap, durable, small, colour screen
Disadvantages: not as many features as more expensive phones, silent mode doesnt seem to work!

...I will admit I purchased this phone as a panic buy. My previous phone continually cut out, and I needed a new one, on a low budget. The cheapest one I could find at that time was the Sagem My X-2 which was on sale at Argos for £34.99. I wasn't expecting much from the phone at that price, and I have had Sagem phones previously and although they were functional, were not always top of the range, so I wasn't exactly confident, but seeing as I needed a phone (how did we ever live without them?!), and this was the only one in my price range(it must have been rent week) I decided to go for it. Appearance The phone is metallic blue and silver in colour - see picture, with a colour screen, this is the first phone Ive had with a colour screen, and the resolution is fairly good, although not as good as some of the camera phones. Its fairly...

**Freezing Frenzy with O2 X2**

Advantages: Looks good
Disadvantages: Using it!

...I am a happy member of the O2 community and have been for a number of years. In January this year I thought I would treat myself to a new phone (belated xmas pressie to me!) and stray away from my usual Nokia make and be a bit more loyal to the O2 company. We were up in Lincoln visiting relatives and there was an O2 store within the shopping centre and I saw this O2 X2 mobile phone and instantly fell in love with it. What first attracted me to it was the fact that it was a flip phone (I had never before had a flip phone) and that the front of the phone was made up of a mirror (perfect for checking the lippie). Both me and my boyfriend decided to buy one that day and I rather wish we hadn't. The phone itself does look really good as it is all in silver and the front bit will illuminate to show either the time or caller...

Review of O2 X2

X-Men 2 follows a good start

Advantages: Deep and clever plot, good acting and special effects
Disadvantages: Drags a little in places

...When Bryan Singer directed X Men in 2000, he always maintained that it was merely setting the scene for a bigger and better film version of the much loved comic book. In 2003's X Men 2, he shows what he meant as he directs a returning cast on top form and with a meaningful plotline. A Little History X-Men is a comic book creation from Stan Lee and Jack kirby. Conceived in 1963, the comic book still goes strong to this day, and tells adventures of a group of humans who differ due to genetic evolution and are known as 'mutants'. This is the second feature film of the comic book series. The Plot This second installment of the X Men films hits s much deeper note than the first, touching on the effect the mutants and their exposure has on the rest of the world, as well as the fear of the unknown and the unfamiliar. After...

Review of X-Men 2 (DVD)

Final Fantasy X-2

Advantages: great follow up, first time for any FF game
Disadvantages: will leave u wanting a Part 3!!!!

...Wow!!! So long since I was here! Missed Ciao so much, but some things take time in life, so you have to be patient........ So for my first "comeback" review, I thought it would be appropriate to write about a great pasion of mine - the FF games series. If it wasnt for these games I would have been back a long time ago lol!!!! More on that later............. For the unititated, FFX-2 is the latest in the Final Fantasy series created by Squaresoft (now Square-Enix). The games are basically a role-playing format (RPG) in which you follow a storyline with different characters inter-acting with each other. Still with me? Hopefully! Dont be daunted, anyone can play them, the biggest problem is they are so damn addictive!!!!!!! OK then, onto the game Just to bring you all up to speed, FFX-2, is the first ever follow up to any FF...

Review of Final Fantasy X (PS2)

The ATi HD 4870 X2 is a powerhouse... but is it really worth it?

Advantages: Powerful, excellent value
Disadvantages: Only good at higher resolutions

...The 4870 x2 has been here for a few years now, and has certainly made a place for itself among the graphics card market, rivalled only by possibly-over-the-top cards such as Nvidia's GTX 295, and recently, ATi's own HD 5870 (which is also the first DirectX 11 card on the market). Setting up The card is huge, taking up the space of two slots (which is to be expected of current cards) but also being long. I found that it fitted nicely in my Full tower case, though one should detemine the size of their case before buying the X2. In my opinion, if you are buying the 4870 X2, you should get a full tower anyway, as the cooling requirements must be considered as well. The card requires two PCI-E power connections- so be sure that your Power Supply is 'compatible' with the X2. The card uses the PCI-E 2.0 interface, which boasts higher...

Review of Sapphire RADEON HD 4870 X2

ATI 4870 X2 - The Big Boss Of Graphics Card

Advantages: cheaper than nvidia, full directx 10.1 support, DDR5 RAM, legendary 4870 platform
Disadvantages: you'll not have even one game to challenge this card.

...I always appreciated nvidia's graphics cards, because obviously they were always taking an upperhand over ATI. And when Nvidia released 200 series, I bought it as quickly as possible, the graphics I got with my games were stunning. I thought that I had the perfect graphics card on the planet as the other 280's users would also. But then, not quite late though, ATI came in the battle field, holding its newest monster, ATI 4870 X2, 2GB DDR5 graphics card, with the same price tag as of Nvidia 280 (which is only 1gb), ofcourse few companies were marketing it for lesser than that too. I thought twice but bought it, and as it was destined to be, my eyes were popped out, with full Directx 10.1 support (which ensures 25 - 30% boost in graphics and speed) and 2gb of discrete graphics memory and not to mention the DDR5 RAM, the games were in...

Review of Sapphire RADEON HD 4870 X2

X2 - The Sims in space

Advantages: Graphics, music, sound fx, game play
Disadvantages: Bad computer graphic wooden acting, high spec PC required for full effect

...This is the second (or third, depending on how you look at it) in the series of X games. The first was called "X: Beyond the frontier "this was the first big space sim game since (Elite II) Frontier : First encounters in 1995. Because of this it was reported to be a follow on from Elite II. This however, is not the case. Elite II was created by a company called "Frontier Development". "X" is created by a company called "Egosoft". After X: beyond the frontier egosoft released an expansion pack called? wait for it? "Xtension".. This made some alterations to the graphics engine making it run faster and added extra gameplay features like being able to steal and buy ships - a great advantage seen as all you could do in the first one was fly around in the same ship for the entire game. Now X2 (or x2 more precisely) comes along...

Review of X2: The Threat (PC)

The revolution will not be televised - XMI X-mini II Mini speaker

Advantages: Great sound, bargain price, sleek look.
Disadvantages: The kids listening to happy hardcore at the back of the bus might find out.

...Revolutions: they aren?t usually very good, are they? Big promises by ego-crazed dictators, resulting in the butcher of millions of innocents. No, I?m not a massive fan of revolutions, so I was sceptical when the X-mini arrived on my doorstep, promising ?audio revolution in a box?. On the back, the big promises continued: ?Delivering on the promise of ?sound beyond size?, the X-mini II capsule speaker is petite in size but massive in sound?. By this point I was becoming very suspicious. The look of the thing worried me a little too. Not because it looks bad - it has a very slick look; the vivid red of the speaker poking out from the round, black casing like some demented 8-ball. It?s also very small, which is obviously handy. It?ll easily fit in your back pocket. The packaging too is very attractive (although if you lose sleep over...
