PC Partner RC410MS7-A82C Review
PC Partner is a relative new comer to Phoronix but they have
over 20 years experience in the industry with ISO9001 certification. PC
Partner’s focus is on providing graphics and motherboard solutions to
the PC industry as well as offering OEM/ODM products. Hitting the bench
today is PC Partner’s RC410MS7-A82C, which is based upon the ATI RC410 +
SB450 Chipset. However, do not put this item on your shopping list, as
we share in the article, the retail motherboard will NOT be available
for purchase by the general public due to recent corporate changes.

OCZ EL DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold Gamer eXtreme XTC Edition Memory Review
DDR2 Memory has been on the market now for some time now and manufacturers like OCZ are tightening the memory timings. With a memory timing of 4-4-4-12 at 533MHz DDR2 it does perform very well. It even has some headroom in the overclocking department if you lower the memory timings and increase memory voltage. Remember though, there is much faster but pricy memory on the market…

Ideazon Zboard Review
Ideazon make one product; the Zboard. It’s a gaming keyboard aimed at FPS players looking for the best way to interface their fingers to their PC. Zboard pioneered the remapped keyboard design, but how well does it actually perform?

TT Bach HTPC Case Review
With everything connected and powered up, the Bach walks that thin line between being conservative and being gaudy very well. The blue LED effects are visible but not overpowering. The VFD with the software installed allows the VFD to cycle through world news, weather, system usage, e-mail alerts and quite a bit more.

EVGA 6800GS C/O SLI
NVIDIA 6800GS cards are retailing for under $200 online. At this price point the card is an excellent buy, as it has similar performance to the 6800GT which was so popular at $399 last year. In fact this has forced ATI partners to lower the MSRP of their competing product, the X1600 Pro to $199 even before that card was released to the public. The 6800GS outperforms the X1600 Pro in every respect, meaning the 6800GS is a better buy.

New 3D Graphics Card Features in 2006
Shader effects on water surfaces become astounding with DirectX 8. One of the earliest graphics cards to attempt to make use of them were the Geforce 4 and Radeon 9600 in the game Morrowind. For the first time, the water realistically reflected the 3D landscapes in the waves. Even better, the effects on the water were there to admire throughout the entire game. Running or swimming through water even created displacement, causing waves on the reflective surface.
This is a fantastic article, especially if you want to catch up on your graphic lingo. They have many side-by-side comparison images so you can see the difference between certain effects. Check it out at Toms.
Intel Macs may boot XP after all
Tech journos far and wide have been quick to jump on the story that while Apple says it isn’t doing anything to specifically prevent people from installing Windows on an Intel-based Mac, the new Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) that Apple is using on the new Macs won’t work with current generations of Windows.
Now this is quite intriguing. Imagine triple booting Mac OS/Linux/Windows… you have the ultimate solution right there. Of course, if you are to buy a Mac, chances are you are trying to veer away from Windows, but this is still a cool thought. Read the full article at APC Mag.
You Say Rootkit, I Say Tomato
Symantec is denying the assertion made earlier in the week that its Norton SystemWorks product installs a rootkit. Although the company acknowledged its existence, it denies it’s a rootkit, calling it instead a “hidden folder”. F-Secure, whose software picked up the rootkit hidden folder, says that the difference between what Symantec is doing and the Sony BMG rootkit is “ideological”, and isn’t anywhere as malicious since it can be turned off or uninstalled by the user. Symantec now says it’s working with some trade bodies to try to develop a definition of rootkit, and that the changing nature of malware makes hiding files no longer a viable option. All this talk still clouds the fact that the hidden folder could be used to cloak malicious files on someone’s PC — the exact sort of thing security software is supposed to prevent.
I personally have no real issue with ‘rootkits’ by companies that protect us from virii. It’s another thing to have those rootkits give crackers and trojan writers an advantage. I hope to see they can fix these ‘holes’ to make sure that infiltration is impossible. Either way, I recommend McAfee or F-Secure if you want a solid Virus Scanner. Source: TechDirt.
Grafpup Linux live CD for graphic designers
What would you get if you were to combine good graphic programs such as the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), Inkscape, and CinePaint with other open source biggies such as Scribus and Nvu? The answer: Grafpup Linux, a live CD heaven for all graphic designers.
This is a small review, but the Live Distro supposedly offered enough to score itself a perfect 10. It’s based on Puppy Linux, an already stable distro, and rolls in at 75MB. Check out the full review at Linux.
Microsoft Ends Windows Media Player on the Mac
According to News.com, Microsoft has had no plans to update or improve Windows Media Player and has instead thrown its weight behind a third party plugin to fill the void. Adam Anderson, Microsoft public relations manager, told News.com, ‘It’s basically a business decision for Microsoft. Like any other company, we have business priorities. Our focus really is in delivering the best experience to Windows customers.
I’ve known many people who have used WMP on the Mac, and it’s apparently nothing but a buggy mess. I don’t see an issue with a plugin, as long as it works with your favorite player. Check out the posting at Slashdot.
Hardware Roundup for Jan. 13
The weekends almost here… so close. No better way to pass the time than to read some good reviews, so check out this roundup. OCC has taken a look at the Bigwater 745 from TT, which supports all current motherboard sockets. The kit turns out to be a good choice, but your motherboard must have mounting holes in order to use it.
If you are an Intel diehard, but want the luxury of SLi also, then check out Hot Hardwares review of the MSI P4N Diamond. It ends up being a great choice due to it being a great overclocker. It even includes a Soundblaster Live! as the audio of choice. Houston Vehicles takes the Cyborg Evo Wireless joystick for a spin, and this thing looks packed! Since it’s wireless, you could route your favorite flight sim to your big screen TV and really have a blast :)

First Glimpse: Revolution’s Virtual Console
For those who haven’t been following Nintendo’s new platform, the concept of the “virtual console” describes Revolution’s game download service. The Big N’s highest-ranking executives have publicly stated that Revolution will not only be able to wirelessly connect online, but that players will also be able to directly download some of their favorite NES, S-NES and N64 classics.
IGN even has screenshots for the new system, but it’s doubtful that they are final. I am really concerned about the price of the old skool games, because I can see it adding up quickly. I am also not too impressed by the intial line-up, if it holds true also. I see that a lot of my favorites are not even listed, along with some massive hits for each system. Hopefully we’ll see some decent updates in the near future. Source: IGN.

Rootkit-like Feature Found in Norton Systemworks
eWeek reports a rootkit-like ‘feature’ in Symantec’s Norton Systemworks, discovered by the Mark Russinovich, who was also responsible for blowing the whistle on Sony’s DRM rootkit. The cloaked directory is intended to prevent users from accidentally deleting important files, but could compromise a system by serving as a hiding place for malware, as was the case with Sony’s rootkit. Russinovich says Symantec had good intentions, but they were right to post an update to fix this hole.
Not so surprising since any Norton product is crap, but it’s good to know if it’s installed on your system. Check out the posting at Slashdot.
Lineage Episode IV Released
The saga continues; NCsoft launches newest chapter for original Lineage game
Latest free content expansion provides one of largest updates to the game world to date, plus significant enhancements to the new player experience
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 11, 2006—NCsoft® North America today announced the release of Episode IV: “History and Memory™,” the latest content expansion for North American subscribers to the original Lineage® massively multiplayer online (MMO) PC game. This expansion provides subscribers with 230 megabytes of new geographical locations to explore, an enhanced new player experience, plus additional mage and elven magic spells. Episode IV is free to all current Lineage subscribers.
One of the key new areas added in Episode IV is Pirate Island. Accessed from a hidden dock, players will explore a tropical island in search of treasure and adventure, battling skeletal pirates, giant parrots, and trying to find and tame a rare raccoon with magical powers. Players may also hunt beneath the waves of the formidable Abyss Lake, a dangerous yet profitable new zone that promises a higher difficulty level of play over existing underwater zones. Both Pirate Island and Abyss Lake lead to another new zone, the Elemental Ruins, where players will face various ghost-like monsters and other bizarre creatures.
In addition to new locations, monsters, items and spells, Episode IV brings significant enhancements to the new player experience. New players now begin with a Talking Scroll in their inventory. Clicking it will give players key information about the game that was previously more difficult to come by. Those who turn this special beginner’s scroll to the correct non-player character in a new player zone will receive enough armor, weaponry and money to jump directly into combat instead of training to level 5 before adventuring outside of town.
Lineage is currently available via free download at http://www.lineage.com. Lineage comes with a 7-day free trial period. After that, a subscription of US$15 per month is required to continue playing. Customers can save money by purchasing four months in a single transaction at a rate of US$11.25 per month.

World Exclusive – ARMARI Pantheon-FX
The Armari Pantheon FX system is a decidedly niche product. It’s designed to appeal to those of you with a large wedge of cash to spend on a PC, yet don’t want to splash it on some run-of-the-mill affair. Armari has taken the step of engineering a gaming machine with some of the tastiest components available at the start of 2006 and amalgamated them into a sexy-looking small form-factor unit sourced from the folks at SilverStone. It’s clear from the choice of components that performance is of foremost concern
This is quite the PC in a SFF package, including an FX60 and 7800GTX. Sounds like a great lan party system! Check out the full review at Hexus.
Interview with ATi’s Andrew Dodd
How much additional time and effort, above that put into the normal driver development regime, is/has been put into making sure ATi products “fit” into Vista’s DRM? Would I get an honest answer if we asked whether you’re in favour of the whole DRM thing?
“the entire DRM strategy, but users shouldn’t think of it as taking resources away from working on more “useful” features. DRM is something that the whole industry is moving towards and something we need to support. And no you wouldn’t get an honest answer from me ;-)”

Still on air cooling and want nothing but? If you are looking for a great looking new CPU cooler, check out Overclockers Online for their look at the TT Blue Orb. It turns out to not only be a superb cooler, but one at a wicked price. Viper Lair is taking the new 3500LL PRO modules from Corsair for a spin. These are some of my personal favorite sticks as well, extremely solid memory. They don’t really overclock that well, but the stock performance and quality is amazing.

Auto Assault News: The NDA has been lifted!
Greetings from the Central Wastelands!
The Auto Assault team is pleased to announce that on Tuesday, January 10, the Non-Disclosure Agreement was lifted. Members of the beta community and the gaming press are now permitted to publicly discuss their experiences in the Auto Assault beta test, as well as take and publish their own screenshots and videos. Those who have been awaiting the opportunity to publish beta diaries on their sites or write follow-ups to previously published previews are free to do so.
Producer Steve Snow also revealed the plans for the loot bonus that will be granted to players who have purchased the Auto Assault preorder package. In a post on the official message boards, Snow wrote, “The way the bonus works is it increases a creature’s chance to drop enhanced items from one to five percent of the creature’s base chance, so if you’re fighting a boss and it has an 80% chance to drop enhanced items, when your character gets credit for the kill the boss will have an 84% chance to drop enhanced items. For infantry that has only 1% chance to drop enhanced loot, the loot bonus will make that chance 2%. All of this is provided your character has looting rights to the creature when it dies. This will show up in the game as a medal on your character. The loot bonus is applied to your Auto Assault account, so every character created on a pre-order account will have the loot bonus. This is in addition to the unique retailer weapons that improve alongside your character.” You can read the entire post at http://boards.autoassault.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=50632.
Coinciding with the lifting of the NDA and the preorder loot bonus announcement, MMORPG.com will be giving away six thousand serial codes that will grant the gaming community the opportunity to participate in a special beta weekend event that starts Friday, January 13, at 4 pm Eastern time and ends Sunday, January 16, at 3 am Eastern time. In preparation for the assigning of the keys, the client and download instructions have been made available on the event page here: http://www.mmorpg.com/aa_betaweekend.cfm?fp=1280,1024,428656218,20060111043404.
We look forward to sharing the road with you soon!

The Chronicles Of Narnia Review
While The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe certainly does have it’s merits, the game comes off as much more of a title to play with your friends, rather than a single player experience. Granted, this can be attributed to the nature of the game, one which runs in the vein of the dying genre of beat-them-up fighter titles. While we do applaud the effort put forth to follow the arc of the movie, we can’t help but feel that this title would have done much better as an adventure game, which focused on problem solving and exploration rather than mindless combat.

Guild Wars: Factions Announced
NCsoft, ArenaNet Announce Guild Wars: Factions
Free Player-versus-Player Event to Provide Sneak Peek for Players
All Over the World
Bellevue, Wash., Jan. 10, 2006— NCsoft®, the world’s leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announces Guild Wars®: Factions™, the next chapter in the critically acclaimed Guild Wars franchise from ArenaNet® studios. The Factions campaign will release in the second quarter of 2006. It offers players an incredible gameplay experience with many new choices, including new regions, professions, skills, missions, and monsters, along with expanded options for both Cooperative and Player-versus-Player (PvP) play, and enhanced features for guilds.
Players will get their first chance to experience the new campaign when ArenaNet opens its servers to everyone for the Guild Wars: Factions Global Free-for-All PvP Weekend. This worldwide event—scheduled for January 20 through 22—is open to both existing Guild Wars players and to those who do not have a Guild Wars account. ArenaNet is distributing free access keys to the event at http://www.guildwars.com.
The event will enable players to experience two new professions being introduced in the campaign, the Assassin and the Ritualist. Participants will also be able to try out a number of the skills added to Guild Wars: Factions, including some of the deadly skills of the Assassin and the arcane spells of the spiritual Ritualist. They will also be able toget familiar with the new PvP continent, Battle Isles. Battle Isles will introduce players to new PvP experiences, new and expanded arenas, new quests, and a new explorable area as well.
Another feature available during the Guild Wars: Factions Global Free-for-All PvP Weekend is Observer Mode, where players who aren’t participating in a battle can view the proceedings and check out the strategies and tactics used by top-ranked guilds as they fight for supremacy.
“We’re excited to be offering this free preview of Guild Wars: Factions to players throughout the world,” said Patrick Wyatt, co-founder of ArenaNet. “Factions is a huge step in the continued evolution of the game, and I think gamers are really going to be excited about the new features they’re going to see!”
In September of 2005, Guild Wars surpassed more than one million units sold in North America and Europe, a milestone reached in less than five months. Guild Wars is a competitive online roleplaying game that rewards player skill more than time played. Players explore a rich fantasy game world, acquire skills, build personalized characters and compete in head-to-head guild battles with players from around the world.

Adobe Lightroom beta: first impressions
I know that many people are probably thinking that Lightroom is a disguised copy of Aperture, but this program has clearly been in the works for a while. It’s possible Adobe got wind of Aperture before it was released, but screaming “Aperture copy!” is a little off base since other, lesser-known import, convert, keyword workflow apps have been making good money in the professional photography market for some time.
If you are professional photographer, or want to be, then check out the full article at Ars Technica. They also link you to the Adobe site where you can try out a beta for yourself.
A DVD combo? Don’t hold your breath
For consumers, a device that could play both HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs would take a lot of risk out of adopting the new video players–but one may not arrive for a while.
Legal agreements, intellectual property issues and technological pride will likely keep the two camps backing incompatible next-generation technologies from coming together in the near future, executives and analysts said.
This is going to hurt consumers more than anything. Having to purchase a seperate player for each format is not going to happen for a lot of people, so it’s at least good to see that most movies are available on both. Source: News.com.
AMD FX60 Reviews!
The day is finally here! AMD released the new killer Dual Core to their lineup. Rolling in at 2.6GHz, it’s effectively two FX55’s stacked on top of each other.
Bit-Tech: The Athlon 64 FX-60 may not be the most attractive processor, based on its price, but it’s good to see that the two slower Athlon 64 X2’s with 1MB L2 cache per core keep up quite well with it. At £350, the Athlon 64 X2 4400+ is an attractive buy compared to the Athlon 64 X2 4800+, which currently retails at £535. We suspect that this will come down in due course, but we can’t see it dropping down to a price that makes it even more attractive than the X2 4400+.
Hexus: It won’t be cheap, but then for most FX consumers that matters little. They want the best CPU for their systems and under default conditions, the FX-60 is that microprocessor. As an aside, the particular review sample used for this article does a nice and easy 2.8GHz at stock voltage, and just shy of 3GHz when voltage is upped a little, all on the default PIB cooler. Unlocked multipliers means adjustment of the requisites is a piece of cake.
AnandTech: Then there’s the issue of AMD’s upcoming Socket-AM2; due out in another few months, you obviously won’t be able to use any Socket-939 processors in the new motherboards and there will be no upgrade path beyond the FX-60 for current 939 owners, so our recommendation would be to stay away from the FX-60 unless you absolutely have to build the world’s fastest system today.
