Review of Apple Power Mac G5 - PPC G5 1.8 GHz by
agazad
Advantages: Everything! Silent, Super Fast, Stunning Design...
Disadvantages: Might be hard to steal - they are rather heavy!

Who Are Creative?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since 1979, Creative Nail Design have developed professional products and services for the beauty industury, concentrating on products for hands, feet and nails. They are originally an American company, who are now just as popular all over the world, including the UK. They are one of the most popular and I must say the best brand of products for hands, feet and nails in the industury. If you go to salons quite regularly or are in the beauty industury, it is likely you will have heard or even used Creative Nail Design. I use their products for all things hands, feet and nails and will never use anything else as I know the standards of other products don't even come close.

Old fashioned RIVA TNT
Review of Creative Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT by
mraouf101
Advantages: Good picture quality (relative to the specs), good price and performance
Disadvantages: Old fashion
...1. Creative Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT in brief…
I know it’s a bit old, and I know also that almost no one will think of buying this product any more, however I’ve been using the TNT for a bit long time before I bought my new Graphics Card, so I felt like writing something about my old buddy.
It’s a very good card by the way, and in its time, I considered it one of the most good graphics card. My card was a PCI not AGP, so it’s a bit old fashioned but still was a great performer until its last day. Anyway, talking about the card, it’s a 16MB old graphics card (SDRAM).Ah and by the way, it was considered sometime the best 2D/3D combo card on the market.
2. Product Specifications
• Interface: Either PCI or AGP (but in my case PCI, and honestly I don’t know the difference in the performance and stuff between both)
• Installed...

Great kit once it works
Review of Creative PC-DVD Encore 6x by
bigdgaff
Advantages: Good picture quality, Can attach it to a Hifi for great sound, Far better than VHS
Disadvantages: My one didn't want to work at first, Can be expensive Compared to Set-top varieties
...a port on the decoder card that lets you display DVDs on a TV.
The minimum spec of the computer required: I am running it on an AMD K6 333 Mhz processor with 32mb of PC100 SDRAM. There is an old 4mb Matrox Mystique Graphics card in there, but that is just to run Windows 95 as the decoder card handles the DVDs. There is a Creative Soundblaster 16 which I use for the DVD players sound, but instead of PC speakers, I bought a cable to wire it up to my hifi. If you have a hifi that is reasonably up to date, there shouldn't be a problem getting some awesome sounds. I will now (hopefully) paint a picture of my pitiful attempts to get the thing to work.
I arrived home from PC World with my lovely new DVD player, opened up my computer, installed the unit and decoder card, installed the software, rebooted the computer, and nothing.
I sat down...

Get Creative With Music
Review of Creative Zen Touch 20 GB by
Vspawn
Advantages: Great sound, good capacity, good battery life, easy to use
Disadvantages: Larger and heavier then some MP3 players, not overly attractive
...INTRODUCTION
With so many MP3 players out there now, it becomes quite a task to sit down and study all the specs to come to a decision doesn't it? Don't worry, I know only too well. I spent a good 20 minutes agonising over which model to fork out £200 on and when I accompanied my mate for the same process, he spent about double the time.
Fortunately for you, you needn't go to quite so much trouble since hopefully this review will lay everything out for you. This is mainly a review for the Creative Zen but I will include a basic specs list and description of each of the competitors to help you weigh things up.
Of course this review assumes that you are interested in a 20 gig MP3 player and that you are willing to spend £150 or more. If not, then this review will probably not be of much use to you.

Zen and the Art of Creative MP3 Players
Review of Creative Zen Micro 5 GB by
josarah
Advantages: Fits in your pocket, Display Screen
Disadvantages: Sensitive Touch Pad
...My search for MP3's began on Ciao and I read around a variety of reviews and asked the reviewers some questions which I needed answering. The most important question for me was 'How can I play this in my car?' but more about that later. I visited Curry's and had a look at a few but was really impressed with the chunky little Zen Micro thingy that fitted comfortably into the palm of your hand. This was the one!
After searching the internet for decent prices I went onto the Creative website and actually ended up purchasing the little beast through one of their approved stores, and at the cheapest price I had seen as well, thumbs up from me. The player cost me £135 delivered which I though was a fair price.
For those of you who don't know an MP3 player allows you, with a range of software (depending on the type of player) to take...
