"Our multiplier adjustments were unlocked as advertised giving us a range of 5 to 12.5 for the multiplier. As a point of reference, the 2400 XP+ operates on a 266MHz bus (133MHz x 2) with a multiplier of 15. After some hit and miss we found the wall on our XP processor with the Speed Strip. 398Mhz bus (199MHz x 2) with a multiplier of 12.5. That's 2.49Ghz!! To give you some perspective on this, the Athlon 3000 XP runs at 13 x 333Mhz (166Mhz x 2). That's 2.16GHz. Nuff said??"

"So, you've played Unreal Tournament and Quake until your hands ache and your eyeballs are glued to your monitor. Now what? Well, if you're like hundreds of bleary-eye and bored gamers from around the world, you turn your gaming world into a movie set and cast yourself as a director. Called "machinima" (as in "machine cinema"), it's just one recent example of how creative people can be in using digital technologies in ways their designers never intended."

"That’s right, this case only accepts half height expansion cards. That said, integrated video and audio might be something to look for when buying your hardware. The computer industry seems to be offering more compact and full featured components (such as motherboards), so it’s not out of the question to have a decent computer crammed into this case."

"Any gamer knows that a split second is the difference between fragging and getting fragged. A simple stutter with a mouse or not being able to move the mouse quick enough could be your death. What causes a mouse to stutter or not move freely? A mouse pad that does not perfectly reflect light or whose surface is not slick will cause a mouse to stutter."

"Today we'll be looking at one of the most interesting items I've reviewed in a while-- the Eumax foldable, waterproof keyboard. Unlike the traditional keyboard, the Eumax Foldable Keyboard can roll right up and fit in your pocket or bag, and it is impossible to damage with liquids or food."

"You're already a serious gamer. Now you can get the 6-piece speaker system that matches your skills. Our top-of-the-line video gaming system features a center channel, a powerful subwoofer, and surround sound that put your TV's speakers to shame. Feel the bass. Unleash the power."
