IBM POWER PROCSSOR BOARD.

Advantages: CONFIGURES IN TWO WAYS.
Disadvantages: MIGHT BE COSTLY TO SOME.

...: It has IBM power5+form factor and processor quantity of 4. It has clock speed of 1.5ghz. It has L3 cache of 72mb, which is the installed size. In terms of expansion connectivity, it has 8X memory 1X processor board of compatible slots. So looking for a good processor brand, I think IBM is the stuff. Bye....

Review of IBM IBM POWER5+ 1.5 GHz processor board

Megane 1.5dci Dynamique (80)

Advantages: Economy, reliability, comfort
Disadvantages: small boot

...I've owned a 1.5DCI Dynamique from new (2004) and have covered 63,000 miles. Had a couple of minor things fixed under warranty, door handle paint and steering column knock(?), despite not buying the car from a Main Dealer they honoured warranty repairs. Cheap Road Tax, Car Insurance, comfortable, lots of toys and economical. The only unusual fault was an intermittent STOP / OIL indication, which lasted a day or two - suspected wet electrics when the car was serviced by a non-Renault garage. At the time I was a bit unnerved by the complexity of the electronic systems, 7 units talking hooked up to diagnostics, but it settled down. That was 6,000 miles ago though. Interestingly the stalling of the rear wash wipe (common) is a s/w fault, in my case I didn't bother mentioning this until the STOP light problem, but it could have beenfixed...

IBM X236 tower / rack server

Advantages: Very versatile mid range server
Disadvantages: support web site can be awkward to navigate

...because the rails are a little longer than the server to accomodate the cable management bars. The 5 1/4" bay that houses the CD ROM etc slides out and rotates through 90 degrees so you don't have to put CDs in on their side. The power leds transpose to a different location as does the power switch. Once this is complete you can click on the new facia, screw on the base and lid, put your rails into your cabinet and then drop the server onto the rails. Although it has two stabalizing wheels for the back and the front of the rail hooks into the rack clips on the server, I would definately reccomend two people to do the job as you need to screw four screws into each side of the server and need to support the weight whilst you do it. With regard to hard drives I would normally build this server with a mirrored pair of 73GB U320 15Ks for the OS...

Megane 1.5 dci (106 bhp) Sports Hatch Dynamique

Advantages: Fuel Economy, high spec interior, gorgeous
Disadvantages: none so far

...This is a review of the newest Megane, there is not that much difference in this car and it's predecesor but what changes there are would appear to be big improvements. I had a 1.4 Megane (2003) and loved it so when I got my new model I was really surprised at how much better it was. Exterior - New back light cluster and new shape front lights different grill at the front, more angled new badge at front front fog lights are further apart and housed in a new grill, Renault badge at back Interior- Much nicer styling including new dials white/blue dash lighting soft touch above dials Driving - although my previous car had a smaller petrol engine I cannot believe how much smoother and more nippy this car is, it is a pleasure to drive and the fuel consumption is fantastic already (diesels don't reach optimum consumption...

Inspiring Inspiron or Dell Hell?

Advantages: delivered to door, relatively cheap,made to your specifications.
Disadvantages: Many, many, many -please read review.

...Last May, my husband decided we were best off dropping the PC's and getting ourselves laptops. We started off looking at Dell, and he chose an Inspiron 510M for just over one thousand pounds. Yes, it's expensive, but my husband is a website designer, programmer, all round computer guru and needs a damn good quality computer to work with. So, here are the specs for you, and I will try and translate what they actually mean in real speak too! *1.2 ghz Pentium M Processor (runs pretty fast.) *512 Mb ram (lots of memory means you can use several applications at once.) *20 Gb hard drive (this can store a lot of information.) *DVD/ CD writer drive (You can make your own CD's and watch DVDs using this) *2 USB Ports (to plug in a mouse, digital camera, Printer etc) *Primary 6 port battery (Should keep you running for a few hours...

Review of Dell Inspiron 510M 1.5GHz

The x445

Advantages: Reliable, fast, robust
Disadvantages: A bit heavy... but doesn't matter once it's in the rack

...I have recently installed a couple of the IBM x445 servers at work, and as I've been generally impressed with the way they've performed, thought I'd share my findings. I won't go through the finer and minute technical details of this server simply because that wouldn't be a review- that would be simply copying the specification, which anyone can read anyway. I decided it be a lot more helpful to describe in business terms the benefits of the server, and how reliable and effective it has been in our infrastructure. Nevertheless, some bare technical details should be discussed- so in essence, let me point out that it comes with 2Gb of RAM and 2 Intel Zeon processors running at 2.5 GHz. It has the capability of using up to 64Gb of RAM (if you should ever really need to). There are the usual slots available for adding SCSI hard disks, in...

hyundai accent 1.5 MVI fantastic!!

Advantages: sporty look, fun to drive, cheap to insure
Disadvantages: electrics can go wrong, underrated!

...this car is fantastic! after searching for months for the car i wanted i fell in love with a hyundai accent 1.5 MVI. its got so many good points! firstly the only way i can describe the drive is fun! a 1.5 MVI dual overhead cam engine in a big small car! its so fun to drive its unbelieveable. change gear at the right times and you'll suprised at the intial accleration from them! not to forget the shorter change gearbox for quicker gear changes and the fun learning to drive round roundabouts, i still havent conquered this one yet! i will warn you though that the indicators and windscreen wiper controls are opposite as the cars from japan, it took me a little while to get used to this much to the amusement of other drivers while i sprayed my windscreen and wiped them to let people out at junctions! another thing is to make sure that...

Review of Hyundai Accent 1.5

Pug 106 1.5 Diesel: Zest 3

Advantages: Economical, cheap to run and own
Disadvantages: leaky sunroof

...When I was looking for a reliable car that was cheap to run and one that I could afford that was also comfortable and good to drive, I opted to buy the Pug 106 1.5 diesel. Having read other reviews of the car, there was no contest: and it has lived up to all the good reviews. My car costs about £40 for a full tank and I can get up to 550 miles to a tank so I was very impressed with this. I have had my car for 18 months or so, and I have done over 40,000 miles which is well above the average (I do approx 26,000 miles a year). In this time I have replaced the radiator, 1 wheel bearing, 1 drive shaft (the other needs doing) brakes (front and back), full exhaust, rear windscreen motor, and a new set of tyres. I was under no illusionwhen I bought the car that doing such high motorway mileage I would need to maintain it and spend money...

Review of Peugeot 106 1.5 D

IBM Quality @ IBM Price

Advantages: Good extra features. Can play CD's from keyboard
Disadvantages: Price?

...put your PC to “sleep” if it’s so configured. Also on top, there’s a blue “Help” button, which apes the F1 function, which must lie at least a foot away on the left! Down the right-hand side is a row of 4 short-cut buttons, which can be pre-programmed to load software of your choice. IBM have printed an insert for you, on the assumption that word-processor, spreadsheet and internet access are going to be the big three, within one other blank, which I have taken to be my Quicken banking software. Notwithstanding IBM’s printed label, there is nothing to stop you programming all four yourself. The software to configure your board comes on CD-ROM and is easy to install. It adds another icon within Control Panel, which I feel is the best place for it. Now comes the “pièce de résistance...

The Sims 1.5?

Advantages: Multiple personality traits, improved object graphics, multiple savegames
Disadvantages: Ugly Sims, 'rabbit hole' community lots, slow AI, poor pathing, feels unfinished, buggy

...on them to go in. As they did, I moved the camera forward to enter the building with them and ? nothing. The whole building disappeared and I was faced with an empty floor plan. I was unable to watch my Sims dine, but a progress bar came up onscreen to show that they were doing so. After the progress bar competed, they emerged from the building, got in the car and went home. I thought it was some bug to do with my computer, but on consulting a Sims discussion forum, discovered that this is actually how it?s been scripted and that forum members were very unhappy with what they referred to as this ?rabbit holing? of the community lots. I was shocked at this, as one of my favourite features of The Sims 2 was watching my Simmies enjoying themselves out on the town. Altogether, this game feels more like ?The Sims 1.5? than a progression...
