Belkin’s N1 Vision is an eye catching wireless modem router that combines a sleek design profile with big speeds.

A superb DLP projector; a landmark performer in every sense

The cheapest system to be submitted for review in our performance roundup, it just goes to show that even $4000 will get you a hell of a lot of PC for your money. PCQUEST has also opted to go with a CoolerMaster case, both for its attractive looks and functionality, this housing able to hold a massive five optical drives and four hard disk drives, erring on the side of more is better.

SiS wasn't far behind Intel with its own dual-channel chipset – the 655. This goes one step further than the e7205 to offer PC2700 support for a bandwidth of 5.4GB/s, far in excess of the 533MHz FSB Pentium 4's capability, giving extra room for AGP and I/O.

A great next-generation camcorder, but it lacks editing support for the recording format

The Toshiba e740 (review on the PC Authority Web site) boasted great features such as Type II CF and SD/MMC card slots, and the optional expansion pack which includes a VGA output and USB port, allowing the connection of a keyboard and a projector. The e750 goes two steps further. You can now send 16-bit colour to a projector at a resolution of 800 x 600, and this WiFi version connects wirelessly to a suitably equipped Toshiba projector. Another WiFi enhancement is support for Voice-over-IP with an enhanced microphone socket so a microphone headset can be used.

A 22in monitor is obviously a very large unit. The ColorPro 22D that came into PC Authority was also an engineering sample, which goes some way toward explaining the lack of embellishment.

A good, basic notebook that’s specifically designed with the accident-prone user in mind.

The Complete Digital Photography is an excellent and comprehensive book about all aspects of digital photography. The author makes a strong distinction early on however: this is a book about digital photographs taken with a digital camera, not film photos scanned to be manipulated. This is an important point, as the book goes into great depth about how to take photos under varying conditions and then manipulate them afterwards.

The Athlon XP 2700+ represents a significant leap forward for the Athlon line – it solves a long-term problem by stepping up the default frontside bus (FSB) speed from 266MHz to 333MHz. This means that the Athlon XP can finally run in sync with 333MHz DDR RAM. While most currently available Athlon motherboards support 333MHz DDR, there is virtually no performance boost between this and 266MHz DDR when running an Athlon XP with a 266MHz FSB. The extra speed offered by the RAM quite simply goes to waste, because the CPU can't keep up with it.

3D Power is a relative newcomer to the graphics scene, though many that comprise 3D Power are ex-3dfx veterans from the ill-fated companys European wing. In partnership with Korean board manufacturing company Absolute Multimedia, comes the genesis of the Morpheus range of graphics cards Made by Gamers, for Gamers, or so the slogan goes.

This is a pretty decent little webcam – it's just that, without games to fool around with, it feels like a low-end PC webcam plugged into your Xbox. EyeToy this ain't

A beautiful example of high technology, but we have reservations about the ultimate quality of images.

It's that time of year again when your Symantec security products start flashing at you for their annual update. This time Symantec has not only tweaked the performance of the various products that make up its security suite, but has also endeavoured to give them a new look.

Although this 8500LE was far from being the most spectacular benchmarker we tested, it offers an excellent performance/ price balance that's impossible to beat.

It used to be a case of whoever had the largest CCD was going to sell the most cameras.

Photoshop moves beyond photo editing to conquer completely new territory.

When you think of photo editing, the chances are you think of Adobe Photoshop. However, the majority of non-professional users don't need Photoshop's high-end power and can't justify its cost. That's where Paint Shop Pro (PSP) comes in. Its low price is definitely its initial attraction, but that has never stopped it aiming high. At times, as with version 6's introduction of vector layers, it has even left Photoshop trailing behind. However, version 7's minor fiddling was a serious letdown and as time passed, it began to look as if PSP had run out of steam. Version 8, though, shows this isn't the case.You begin to realise how fundamental the overhaul has been as soon as you load the application.

The lead up to the introduction of the GST was a boon for anybody with a localised accounting package...
