  • AMD Athlon 64: the benchmarks

    AMD's Athlon 64 launch marks the dawn of the 64-bit desktop PC era. We evaluate the efficiency of the new CPU using over 100 benchmark tests.

  • Tech Guide: Intel Prescott: the benchmarks

    Intel's new'Prescott' Pentium 4 has double the L1 and L2 cache of its 'Northwood' predecessor. An extended 31-stage pipeline accounts for the fact that the new chip is mostly slower than the CPU it replaces.

  • Processor battle: 10 high-end notebooks tested

    If you're looking for a high-end desktop replacement notebook, you've got a choice of processors and even a 64-bit option. Intel or AMD: whose processor reigns supreme?

  • Why a faster processor?

    If you have a PC with a Pentium, Pentium II, AMD K6 or K6-2 processor, an upgrade will make your computing a lot more fun.

  • CPU Speed: How Much Is Enough?

    Chips are revving at 1.5 GHz, and there's no slowdown in sight. But who needs it? Maybe you do. Between the two extremes -- niche professionals who need the most speed and business users who are happy with much less -- lies the universe of PC users. Figuring out what's right for each individual is no easy task.

  • Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition

    While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.

  • ASUS Eee Box

    Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.

  • HP Compaq 2710p

    HP's attractive Compaq 2710p convertible tablet suffers from one fatal flaw, choosing a ThinkPad-style pointing stick over a touchpad.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

    With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.

  • Intel quad-core can slow you down

    Certain applications will run slower under the Intel quad-core processors, according to a company spokesperson.

  • Intel's quad-core chip unleashed

    If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. The first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.

  • Dell OptiPlex SX280

    Dell's OptiPlex SX280 is a business desktop PC featuring Intel's 915G Express Chipset, PCI Express, DDR2 memory and an optional "all-in-one" stand for its small form factor.

  • Iomega CD-RW/DVD-ROM 7-in-1 Card reader USB 2.0 Drive

    The Iomega is a competent external CD burner with good flash memory compatibility. But its long term usefulness is undermined by the advent of cheaper and faster DVD writers.

  • Servers on a budget: 4 Servers tested

    Need a new server but only have AU$2500 to spend? The range of options is surprisingly good as long as you're willing to do without some of the fancy features.

  • CyberMax Enthusiast K7-850

    One of the smaller computer makers in our story, CyberMax sells preconfigured and built-to-order systems primarily to PC enthusiasts and gamers

  • David Braue NBN needs workers on board
    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
  • Array D'Ascenzo: Read p23 of security review
    Following yesterday's admission by the Australian Taxation Office that its courier had lost a CD containing the details of 3,000 self-managed super funds, it wants to review how it handles information. My suggestion: go back to the review completed in April.
