1st up is price. Well, to be honest, you're gonna be hard pushed to FIND one of these modems. I think they have been phased out and replaced with inferior USB models. However, I might be wrong, and if you can find one expect to pay about £50 or £60. Yes, that's a lot huh. But if you enjoy playing CounterStrike, I expect your ping on 56k is about 180ish. My ping with this modem is 120, and has been 100. |

The bottom is nicely "lapped" - i.e. shiny as can be, which apparently is better for contact between core and heatsink. The fins themselves look pretty cool (har har...) and there's plenty of em. There's a shroud over the top too, where the fan screws on (more on that later...) which apparently helps airflow. |

One day I went round to see my brother who had come back from university bringing home his PC that I had built for him and he called my upstairs and said he had downloaded something he thought I might be interested in. I wandered upstairs expecting to find a new poor sound quality MP3 file and watched him click on something called MAME on the desktop. All of a sudden his PC was playing bombjack, and it wasn't just some copy of the arcade machine, it was the game itself being emulated on a P166.The fact that it played Doom was neither here nor there. |
