Intel 925XE Express Chipset

Mainboards 328 Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 0

Today we are looking at Intel's D925XECV2 mainboard equipped with the seriously breathtaking yet unfortunately rather expensive 3.46GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition to try out for a couple of weeks. But let's focus on that mainboard versus chipset. Key primary feature you need to keep in mind is that this mainboard is capable of a lovely 1066 MHz system bus. Your average Pentium 4 mainboard these days run on the quad pumped 800 MHz front side bus, this one can handle a bit more (266 MHzx 4), yes 1066 MHz.

Well now, a couple of weeks ago I received a press release from NZXT again, this time announcing their new line of Nemesis PC cases. When I saw the first product photo's I figured something like 'man, this thing is going to be a huge hit'. A well designed and highly styled PC case with 120mm silent LED colored fans, active heat/thermal monitoring and LCD display. it's buffed with more features like Aluminum chassis, the front LED colored 'Eye' can be set to 7 different colors, great paint job, front panel for USB 2.0, Microphone, FireWire and last but not least it has 9 drive bays (2 3.5").
