- i have absolutly no experiences using a bluetooth headset. i prefer using a handset instead of a headset, since that gives me a more telephone alike feeling while using skype. the one i am using is from eutectics and you can see it here. it is very minimalistic in features, it offers no buttons or a builtin ring signal or led, its just a audioin/audioout usb device without need of a soundcard itself. i have no clue if the builtin hookswitch function (so you can answer and hangup by just picking up the phone or placing it back to its "cradle") works with a mac ; |

That is about $60 less than when we first reviewed it. This is now the CPU to get if you are on a budget and want the most upgradeable system around. |

- Hexus has posted an article on the nForce 4 Professional chipset.nForce4 Professional 2200 is the same physical CK8-04 product that nForce4, nForce4 SLI and nForce4 Ultra. It's just advertised as a Pro 2200 to the mainboard components by on-package configuration. Each variant shares the same feature set and performance and all that distinguishes them is their CPU support and whether they officially support SLI. It's an adaptable ASIC that NVIDIA can customise for four markets and four price points, using a single fabricated bit of silicon. |

- Digitimes has another article focusing on Shuttle and their small form factors.We think the Mac mini is very positive for Shuttle. Apple is a major IT company, so people will look at what they are doing and start paying more attention to the small-form-factor market, which will help it expand. For Apple, though, its growth will be limited by the fact that the Mac operating system is not really expected to win over more than 5% of the market. At any rate, Shuttle is the leader in the small-form-factor segment for style, performance and quality, so we are the ones who will benefit as the market expands. |
