The passage of time rapidly turns most PC components from nubile young things into withered old crones. It’s just the way of the world. But not this Asus board. It’s arguably even more of a goer than it was at launch. It’s enough to make you wonder whether there’s a portrait of a dusty and desiccated P5K3 hidden in the attic.The reason for the P5K3’s Dorian Gray status, of course, is that Intel’s P35 chipset has yet to be eclipsed for pure overclocking. Meanwhile it just gets cheaper. In our tests, it achieved a startling 520MHz bus frequency without northbridge voltage tweaking. It’s a great choice for making the most of cheap Intel processors with annoyingly low (and locked) CPU multipliers. Its no-nonsense feature set adds to the built-for-speed allure.MSI P35 PlatinumThe Intel P35 chipset’s status as the weapon of choice for overclocking slaps on it perilously lofty expectations. It’s easy to forget that it’s a mainstream chipset. The same logic applies to MSI’s P35 Platinum board.This is a sub $200 motherboard that nevertheless packs quite a solid feature set, including support for the latest 1,333MHz Intel processors and quality copper cooling

“Startups often create innovative products but do not have financial muscle, so MicroWorld turned to a partner that was mammoth in size.”MicroWorld maybe small, but its ambitions are big. MicroWorld strives to offer cutting edge software security solutions to its customers worldwide. But to even get a nibble in the crowded security space, MicroWorld needed to prove that it possessed the technology required to address customer pains—a tough task for the company.”We do not have huge resources for brand building as compared to established giants,” says the company’s founder and CEO, Govind Rammurthy. MicroWorld’s answer to being small was partnership with one of the world’s largest mail server providers, Deerfield Communications. Deerfield’s MDaemon mail server is used widely across the world.MailScan, MicroWorld’s mail server content security and anti-virus software, was a perfect fit for MDaemon. Partnering with Deerfield turned the fortunes of MicroWorld. The company tapped into Deerfield’s channel partners and began establishing tie-ups with various resellers, vendors and technology providers.MicroWorld’s entry into the U.K. market followed a similar pattern. It struck a deal with Paul Smith Computer Services, a leading software company in the U.K. that had many channel partners.Today, the

We never expect too much from an Intel ‘G’ chipset, after all it has onboard graphics and is not really designed to match its bigger brother the ‘R’. So we were not surprised to see the ECS G45T-M2 fail to perform exceptionally well.To be fair to motherboards our policy is to use the most powerful processor we have in the office, in this case it was the Intel QX9770, a processor that would normally not grace the likes of a low end motherboard but never-the-less that was the setup. It failed to boot; it just simply did not post at all. We tried every combination of components until we changed the QX9770 for an old E6300. Only with this rather antiquated processor did the system boot. Shocking to say the least. We ran our benchmarks twice, one with the onboard GPU and the other with a HD 4870.The first set of results was pitiful, a 3DMark06 score of 984 and a PCMark05 score of 4622. The second set of results looked a lot more satisfying with a 3DMark06 score of 8783 and a PCMark05 score of 6328. We can say without a
Hey everyone, this is Icarus here with some thought on the new Intel X58 chipset.The Intel X58 chipset was released during November of 2008, and was released as a successor of X48. Now, the importance here is not just the name itself; this is a direct challenge to all of the computer hardware companies out there that have been making large amounts of money off of nVidia chipset motherboards. Now, how does this effect you, the consumer who has sparked an interest in computer hardware?Well, here’s the thing: the X58 chipset can run SLI. Yes, I just said that: it can run SLI. For those of you who don’t know what SLI is, I will explain it in another article today. For now, I will just say that SLI is a program created by NVidia that allows the computer to run more than one video card at the same time.Now, why does SLI in the X58 matter so much? Well here’s the reason why: it takes away a valuable advantage NVidia chipsets had over Intel chipsets. Traditionally, Intel chipsets were only able to run Crossfire and CrossfireX, or just a single NVidia
It is a significant fact that we are in the focal point of a deep-seated change in both technology and its application. Any institutions in our day expect to get more value from their investments in technology. In the “Post dearth era of calculation” the user-friendliness of dispensation power is not a check where cost of platform technology has become a minor factor in selecting among alternatives to build the business solution and as such the constraining factors are the managerial impact of reengineering the business process and the costs and time required for system development. Additionally, the need to re-educate personnel to the compulsory level of expertise can be an extremely expensive scheme. Open systems enable organizations to buy off-the-shelf solutions to business problems. Open systems standards set apart the design in which data is swapped, remote systems are accessed, and services are attracted. The receipt of open systems standards supports the creation of system architectures that can be built from technology components. These standards enable us, as follows:• To build reusable class libraries to use in object-oriented design and development environments.• To build functional products those interact with the same
