    This site is littered with Korea speak so us non-Korean speaking peeps will have to settle with looking at pretty pictures. Be warned there is a nasty refresh bug in the gallery section that reloads the page every 20 seconds or so, its really annoying in non-IE browsers.

  • VIA P4X333 Review @ Anandtech

    Published: Monday, May 20, 2002 | By: Dennis

    I really like the title of this review "VIA's P4X333 - If they only had a License". It would appear that Anand is happy with the performance. In case you didn't know VIA has cornered the market with their AMD chipsets though is producing Pentium 4 chipsets "illegally". In a way it's like driving without a license, nobody can really stop you from doing it and you might be really good but, when you get caught there can be trouble.

    MSI seems to be really on the ball when it comes to releasing new products to the public. This board is based on the new Intel 845E Pentium 4 chipset supporting the new 533MHz FSB. Intel still hasn't switched to the current DDR333 trend but that's not a big surprise considering DDRII is coming around the corner.

  • Gainward GeForce4 Ultra/650TV GS Review @ tbreak

    Published: Friday, May 17, 2002 | By: Dennis

    This looks to be a great low-end solution to the GeForce4 line of video cards. Nvidia originally wanted the GF4MX to fill that gap but the chip left much to be desired. Plus the PCB is red. big grin smile
