THG labs does a monster test of 24 mobos from the leading manufacturers. This is one of our biggest and most extensive mobo tests ever.

Chip-Con now delivers 200 W cooling. 4.1 GHz are now possible with the P4. Step-by-step instructions for installing the Mach 2 system in a high-end PC - with highlights available on video!

Intel equips its 2.4 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 2.8 GHz CPUs with FSB 800 and Hyperthreading. Highlights: 865PE delivers same power as 875P chipset. Revealed: MSI with FSB 880 on the test bench.

The choice of compact PC's for daily office use is growing, but they vary in size, shape and functionality. We examined three interesting systems from MSI, Shuttle and Saintsong in our lab.

Unofficially, Intel's old chipset offers similar features to the new high-end 875 Canterwood. 200 MHz (800 MHz) FSB is no problem for the old platform. So who really needs the expensive 875?

Alive and kicking, SiS/Rambus challenge the DDR chipsets from Intel. Does 850E and the dual platforms still have a chance? We put the latest RDRAM platform with PC1200 to the test.

The Leader of the Mini-PC Market, Shuttle, Gets Some Competition: Soltek Sends the Qbic for Intel P4 and 845E Chipset into the Fray. How Does it Perform?

High-performing compact PCs outfitted with top-shelf components are all the rage now. We tested two Shuttle systems for the AMD and Intel platforms.

The boards with the 845 GE/ PE chipset are fully developed and have a wealth of functions. But which one should the customer choose? Our critical test sheds some light on the subject.

P4 head-to-head with an open-ended verdict: Can the 3 GHz chip with Hyper-Threading beat the 3.6 GHz speed demon? See test highlights in the new Tom's Hardware Video.

We bring you a first look at details of the board with Socket 754 for ClawHammer. Top secret: new info for manufacturers from VIA, NVIDIA and AMD, as well as an overview of roadmaps.

Ultra compact and fast to boot: we put Jadetec's Micro PC through its paces. In addition, we bring you a comparison with the popular Mini PC and the traditional hulking PC.

AMD reacts to Intel's dominance: the Athlon XP 2800+ puts the P4/2800 in its place. Further highlights are the nForce2 with Dual DDR400 and 166 MHz FSB.
