Sparkle GeForce 6800 Ultra@AcceleNation  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | “The performance gains over our default 9800 Pro card are not as significant under Doom III as they were under 3DMark2003. The reason for this can be laid at the feet of CPU limiting." | |  | |  | | Cooler Master: CM Stacker Case Review@ClubOverclocker Audiotrak Maya EX5@Phoronix Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player @ GideonTech.com | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | "If you've always wanted a HTPC but didn't have the no how or equipment to finish it, the Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player may be your life saver." | | | | | | | nVidia 6800LE @ t-break | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | Just a few days back, some info surfaced on a new variant of the 6800 GPU from nVidia modeled as 6800LE. Just out of luck, one of the system integrators that we know of received a sample and wanted us to test the card out. From the little information he had, the 6800LE seems to be targeted as an OEM product and will not be released through the retail channel. | | | | | | | Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250 Review@Designtechnica | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | "Hauppauge’s WinTV-PVR-250 TV tuner and capture card is the product of choice for HTPC enthusiasts and Windows Media Center system builders, and for good reason. There certainly are lower-priced solutions available, but the PVR-250 has quite an advantage over them with its hardware based MPEG encoder, saving valuable processor performance for other tasks.
Onboard analog connectors allow you to not only watch, record and pause TV, but they allow you to record from other sources such as VCRs and analog video cameras.
And while Hauppauge’s bundled software doesn’t quite cut it as a TiVo replacement, a PVR front end such as Snapstream’s BeyondTV3 can make your PC a much more powerful – and upgradeable – centerpiece to your home theater. " | | | | | | | |
