ABIT Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES
ABIT went a little nuts with the OTES's heatsink, but it's an exceptional card that delivers great performance for a very reasonable price.

Air Time (Part 2)
We used a range of tests on the wireless equipment to gauge their abilities to perform under duress, as well as provide empirical evaluations on the set-up, configuration, management and software capabilities.
ALBATRON Ti4800SE
The 'Ti4800SE' tag of Albatron's graphics card doesn't signify that it's a superior extension of the GeForce4 Ti4600 – in fact, it's really just an NV28 (the AGP 8x of the GeForce4 Ti) version of NVIDIA's Ti4400, coupled with a slightly increased core clock speed.

BENQ JOYBOOK 8000
The JoyBook 8000 marks the first attempt by BenQ to enter what some might argue is a crowded notebook market. BenQ's stance on the JoyBook is different from other notebook manufacturers though, as it won't be selling the JoyBook as 'just another notebook', but will instead market it totally as a digital lifestyle product.
BOOYA BWMR15
We received an early version of Booya's BWMR15, so we had to guess our way through most of its installation.
Booya BWSC23
Booya's BWSC23 PCMCIA card was one of the few pieces of hardware we tested that offered an amazing level of interoperability with other manufacturers' access points and PCMICA cards (for ad hoc networking). Set-up was so easy in fact, that it quickly became the default card for testing other 802.11b-compliant hardware.
BOOYA BWSR25P
One of the faster 802.11b access points on review, this is almost identically configured as the Booya BWMR15, except for one important distinction – it's is a long-range access hub.
BOOYA BWSU25
One of the first USB adaptor dongles we tested, the Booya BWSU25 offers USB1.1 connectivity with Windows Plug and Play compatibility.

D-LINK DI-614+
This access point did not perform very well, the only exception was an admirable performance for the short file transfer with good reception.
D-LINK DWL-650+
The D-Link DWL-650+ PCMCIA card was paired with the DWL Dl-614+ access point in our tests and they made for a dire couple, returning bad times and high data dropouts in almost every case.
D-LINK DWL-AB650
This is another dual-band 802.11a/802.11b PCMCIA adaptor that offers the best of both worlds.
Dell Dimension 8250
If we were looking for some of the highest benchmark scores we could attain than we'd highly commend this machine
Dell Inspiron 8500
Dell is never one to be outdone when it comes to cutting edge tech

GIGABYTE MAYA II R9500 PRO
ATI is the current market leader in graphics chips, and offers four varieties of DirectX 9-capable video cards; these are the company's most sophisticated products when it comes to 3D rendering.
Hi-Grade Notino 6700
From five feet away, you'd be forgiven for mistaking Hi-Grade's new Notino for an Apple PowerBook.
HP LaserJet 4300dtn
HP has a huge range of laser printers, stretching from enormous 50ppm A3 corporate behemoths with full finishing capabilities to diminutive 10ppm personal lasers. Of all the printers in its considerable arsenal, its biggest seller by far is the LaserJet 4100 series...
IBM THINKPAD R40 (2682K4U)
While IBM ThinkPads might look a little bulky and coarse compared to some of their competitors, they've generally got it where it counts; delivering in function if not form.
Inside DVDs
There are almost as many acronyms for the various standards of DVD as there are companies involved in DVD development.
LINKSYS BEFW11S4
Oddly, in our tests, the BEFW11S4 performed better at long range with bad reception than it did at short range with good reception and a stronger, more robust signal.
LINKSYS WAP11
The Linksys WAP11 access point features a single 10/100 Ethernet point for plugging directly into a network or via a hub to a PC.
LINKSYS WPC11
This PCMCIA card was fairly average in all tests, returning some uninspiring times and a middling tenacity to stick to its signal.
LINKSYS WUSB11
Not quite up there with the USB dongles from MSI and Booya, the WUSB11 has good signal strengths but was lacking in transfer speeds.
Linux: Attack of the killer Squid
I've recently spent a couple of weeks on site at a client running a Linux training course and dabbling with the popular and powerful Web-caching package, Squid.

MITSUBISH DIAMOND VIEW DV159
While the price of LCD screens drop to comparable pricing levels with CRTs and sales are on the rise, technologically they are held back because at the end of the day the picture delivered by an LCD limits its application compared to a CRT.
Mitsubishi Diamond View DV 159
Mitsubishi Diamond View DV 159
MSI MS-6978
This USB dongle from MSI, like the dongle from Booya, proved a tiny USB device could deliver equal or better performance than you can get from a PCMCIA or PCI card.
NETGEAR HA501
Although the dual-band NETGEAR WAB501 was an excellent PCMCIA card and scored well, we rated the single-band 802.11a NETGEAR HA501 higher because of its ability to cope with dire signal conditions.
NETGEAR HE102
A speedy performer due to its support for the 802.11a standard, the NETGEAR HE102 was near the top of the charts in every test we performed, although it didn't do so well with signal qualities at long distances.
NETGEAR MA311
The only PCI adaptor submitted, the MA311 takes wireless networking to the PC without the need for one of those PCI/PCMCIA slot cards.
NETGEAR ME102
This access point cannot live up to the performance or ease-of-use of the other NETGEAR access points tested.
NETGEAR WAB102
This dual-band access point is a perfect addition to an existing 802.11b network for those looking to stretch to the higher bandwidth of 802.11a without invalidating their previous hardware investments.
NETGEAR WAB501
The NETGEAR WAB501 was a contender for a Recommended Award, with incredibly solid results in all tests conducted.

Surecom 9510AX/SX
This solid metal access point is made for business with plenty of ports and connectivity options, but it's a little light on software and driver support.
SURECOM EP-9001
Another competent adaptor, the USB 1.1 Surecom EP-9001 ran extremely smoothly in our tests.
SURECOM EP-9427
Unlike the Surecom EP-9500 access point, this Surecom PCMCIA card featured a clean and uncluttered software interface
SURECOM EP-9500
Surecom's EP-9500 access point is one for the technically adept, as the user manual and software CD are next to useless.
TOSHIBA PORTEGE 2010
We see a lot of notebooks at PC Authority, but like the BenQ JoyBook 8000 (page 37), the Portege 2010 was an immediate crowd pleaser when it was removed from it's shipping materials, garnering lots of "oohs" and "aahs" from techies and non-techies alike.
Toshiba Protege 2010
We see a lot of notebooks at PC Authortiy, but like the BenQ Joybook 8000, the Portege 2010 was an immediate crowd pleaser.
