Hardware Secrets posted a quick reference table containing the main specs of all Opteron processors released to date.

Opteron is the AMD processor targeted to the server market. It is based on the Athlon 64 architecture (a.k.a. x86-64 or “hammer”) like almost all other CPUs from AMD available on the market today, like Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2, Turion 64 and Sempron (socket 462 Sempron models aren’t based on this architecture, however). In this tutorial we will present Opteron’s main features and also several tables listing all models released to date.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Hitachi 32LD9700 32in LCD TV

The 32LD9700 we’re looking at today sits at the top end of Hitachi’s LCD range – a fact reflected right away in its pleasingly stark, strikingly well-constructed bodywork.It’s also got the sort of connectivity that befits a flagship range, with highlights including twin HDMI support, a trio of Scarts, a PC port, component video input, plus some handy ‘multimedia’ provision in the form of a USB port for attaching digital cameras and an SD card slot for direct playback of digital photocards.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Epson EMP-TW700 HD Projector

The TW700 is based on Epson’s 3LCD technology, which stands as the main rival to Texas Instruments DLP. Light from the lamp is shone though three separate high-temperature polysilicon LCD panels, a red, green, and blue, and the image then recombined before being projected outwards by the lens. There’s a cool animation of this affect on the Epson website. Epson, claims that 3LCD gives a better image than DLP, as each colour is present the whole time in the image, as opposed to DLP, which uses tiny rotating mirrors into fooling the eye that the colours are always there, leaving it susceptible to the ‘rainbow’ image that some users claim to see. I think of it as the difference between a progressive and an interlaced image, but in terms of colour.

Motherboards.org posted AMD Athlon 64 4800+ X2 Energy Efficient Review

The 4800+ is an interesting CPU. Energy efficiency is more and more important as the Green initiative makes computer manufacturers work on lowering power requirements and the 4800+ does this as advertised. The 4800+ consumes 30W less than the 5000+ under load, making it a good choice for the energy-minded in all of us.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Actiontec MegaPlug 85Mbps 4-port Hub and Ethernet Adaptor

Actiontec is a leader in broadband connectivity and broadband-powered solutions. The recent release of the MegaPlug series broadband devices is an innovation that has amazing potential. When used together, the 85Mbps 4 port hub can extend a broadband network to the 85Mbps Ethernet adapter through common household power wiring. Simply plugging the 4 port hub into a power outlet enables the Ethernet adapter to plug into any other power outlet up to 300 meters away and operate as an Ethernet access port. This amazing technology enables a user to connect a computer to the home network using only one cable from the Ethernet adapter to the computer NIC, while the data is traveling through the existing power lines using 56-bit DES encryption.
