Easily & Safely Installing a Motherboard
Building or upgrading your system can be a rewarding and educational experience. However, it's often a painful learning experience. It's been said that good judgment is the result of experience and experience is the result of poor judgment. We're going to offer up our own experience, so you can proceed directly to the "good judgment" category. Just because we've broken the heatsink clip off a CPU socket, or crushed the corner of a CPU by incorrectly installing the cooler, doesn't mean you need to learn in quite that manner.

Lite-On IT to cut back DVD-ROM next year
Lite-On IT, the world's largest DVD-ROM and CD-RW drive manufacturer, will cut back DVD-ROM drive shipments next year due to high technology licensing fees and decreasing profit margins. Licensing fees for DVD-ROM drive technology costs about US$10 per unit, about one-third of a drive's manufacturing contract price. If Taiwan-based companies cannot solve this issue, they will not be able to sustain profitable operations when DVD-ROM drive prices fall further, said Michael Gong, general manager of Lite-On IT's optical disc drive business unit.

IDE RAID vs. SCSI: Who Will Win?
It's clear that every interface has its own advantages and shortcomings. SCSI means reliability and high performance, but also high price. Moreover, it needs a costly controller. IDE means huge capacities and much lower storage cost for 1MB than in SCSI HDDs. But IDE drives are much less reliable and to build a fault-tolerant disk subsystem you need to combine them into mirror RAID arrays (and this requires at least one more drive and a RAID-controller).

NVIDIA NV18/NV28 and AGP 8x Investigation
On September 25, NVIDIA introduced its new graphics chips supporting the AGP 3.0 standard and 8x data-transfer speed. When naming the chips, the company didn't exert imagination so we have got "NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 with AGP8x" (unofficially known as NV28) and "NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 with AGP 8x" (NV18). Actually, NV18 and NV28 only differ from NV17 and NV25 by their AGP 8x support. Besides, they also feature higher working frequencies. In this review we will try to find out the advantages brought about by the increased frequencies and the AGP 3.0 support.
