Quietly and quickly at a good price – Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5770 Vapor-X.

Posted on by

Previously performed in my computer two Radeon X1950XTX in Crossfire Association their service. Once a fast team, they were now but not necessarily high-end. In addition, the maps made at full load and tidy row and the heater was not without procreation. In the summer there was also happy times to graphics errors because of the overheating.

In short, the HD5770 was appointed to replace the two old cards. As has now re-done a lot in the graphics area, the new card is the same but sometimes much faster than the old cards in Crossfire composite. For comparison: 8400 points in 3DMark 06 compared to 12 500 with the HD5770 – without some problems, unfortunately the Crossfire brings with it yet (not compatible with all games) – that can still be seen. Risen is equally noticeable faster in more detail. The noise of the new card is considerably less – even under full load is not really annoying! Is drowned out by the other fans and my devil sound system problems.

The problem with the video BIOS, I had unfortunately – but the flash process is simple. I say just me who is already an extra card for installing buys, gets even the flash process down easily, especially since the instructions are on the Sapphire site says yes really great detail – detail is hardly more. Now the card runs at full capacity, as it should be.

As I still own a 19 “TFT, which is sufficient to me completely and I’m not sure in future also keen to portray me a 24″ monitor with resolutions beyond 1920 pixels per side, I should be able to play current games in the near future so good , especially since the rest of my system in case of an upgrade would certainly be renewed anyway.

Only the completeness half my current system:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not overclocked)

4GB RAM

MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition

Creative X-Fi Music

and of course the Sapphire HD5770

Completely suitable for children Digital Camera.

Completely suitable for children (and certainly also for casual photographers)

I have this camera to my son at 8 Birthday gift. He has photographed some years ago with my cameras stored. Now he wanted a “real” camera. After some hesitation (as a quite “expensive” camera the right gift?) He got this 4 weeks ago. And the device he has absolutely under control. His older brothers to help him to save the photos, etc. He has developed the menu, know the features and is constantly on the test and try and come along very well with the operation guide, a look at the manual was not yet necessary. Sure, the camera can do more than one eight years old can use, but the camera can also just what one would like the age of eight.


To that extent, I share the criticism of other users in the operation guide is not bad, I use a Panasonic DMC FX550 themselves and clearly there is the operation much easier, better image quality, color fidelity, etc. but the greater part has cost almost four times. The image quality of the ES55 is neat, photos, day and good light conditions are really good, but also photos in low light conditions are satisfactory. The photos are usually “hot”, and no gray haze (as described by other users to be determined).


This is not a technical critique, I am writing this review in the event that a father wonders if he should buy the unit for his offspring. I can recommend it. The image quality despite rapid spontaneous children’s hands amazingly well and it has come true many snapshots. The battery has a surprisingly long breath. Maybe this helps even one or the other. If you want a balanced and objective technical should, please read the other, because that was not my goal.


Super lcd tv Samsung LE22B450C4

I use it as a second bedroom.

Super recruit quality, easy

Since so many receivers are installed, of course, several hundred channels are found when it is connected to the cable. Here is a bit complicated to operate and you have to find out for yourself which channels are now encrypted and which not.

Conversion from digital to analog is a bit weird and not described.

Since my range but the analog channels, I have no problem.

Disadvantages of the device so sure.

Sound quality is far from special – it is only a very small speakers fitted. For bedroom use, clearly the one huge advantage.


My 5 stars for my use so I forgive

- Analog Only

- Small Speakers were encouraged


So perfect second unit.

For living room use, I would only awarded 3 stars

For Digital Reception: There must be a better solution, eg the automatic filtering of encrypted channels.


What has not yet written, it can also be used as a radio (digital) – of course with moderate to the high sound quality


The tendency is rather disappointing Samsung N130 netbook

Posted on by

Yesterday I had to use the unit received. As always with DHL delivered overnight. Great! The N130 I can unfortunately not as enthusiastic. Perhaps I should say straight away that I have an iMac and had, until recently, the previous model Samsung NC10. Apple computers one is accustomed to be within 10 minutes after unpacking the device on the Internet. At the N130, it has taken more than two hours, until the miserable installation routines are gone through with all sorts of unnecessary and can not be dismissed-spam software in agonizingly slow speed. And even after that the netbook is not really faster. At least in the battery, each Programmöffnen or Dialogfensterschließen a feature-length event. Apparently the N130 hopelessly overwhelmed with Windows 7 Starter, perhaps it is slowed only by the numerous proprietary, poorly written and translated Samsung-system programs. This inertia I knew from NC10 and Windows XP. Nevertheless, the speed of network operation setting is significantly higher.


The black case looks quite nice. Noble, however, is something else. I wonder to this day why hardly any Windows PC manufacturers do not even views the underside of a device can be attractively designed. The black plastic also attracts dust like magic. As a sofa or bed surfstation you have over there has often times with the cloth.


An imposition and a deterioration in the NC10 is definitely the sound. Well, that was already schepprig the NC10, but the Samsung N130 has spared embarrassment and despite existing Gehäuselochung the second speaker so that it just screams perfect bass and höhenlos from a corner. Voice recordings are not endure too, but music should be enjoyed as much as possible only through headphones.


Overall, I’m rather disappointed. Let’s see how long to hold out the N130 and I together.
