WHEN INTEL UNVEILED its P965 Express chipset at Computex, many were left wondering if any motherboard manufacturers would bother building boards based on the older 975X Express. The P965 was a newer design—one built on fancier 90nm process technology—and its ICH8-series south bridge chips offered a more advanced array of features than the 975X's year-old ICH7s. At the time, motherboard makers questioned whether they'd bother building 975X boards for enthusiasts, and they seemed to be leaning toward making high-end boards based on the P965.

Abandoning the 975X in favor of the newer, flashier P965 was a bold idea, but one that was ultimately sunk by the P965's lack of support for CrossFire multi-GPU configurations. However, ATI recently began supporting CrossFire on the P965, raising the question of whether there's much point to the 975X anymore. To find out, we've collected the P965 and 975X Platinum motherboards from MSI. Both boards support CrossFire and Intel's latest Core 2 processors, but the 975X Platinum costs about $20 more. The question is: why?

Board specs
The P965 Platinum and 975X Platinum really are very similar boards. However, we can spot a few key differences as we run down their respective spec sheets.

Obviously, the two differ when it comes to their chipsets. I won't dwell on that point here, but you can learn more about how Intel's core logic stacks up in our Core 2 chipset comparison. The 975X Platinum is a little different from most of the 975X boards on the market, though. Instead of packing Intel's ICH7R south bridge, it's sporting an ICH7DH. The DH is essentially identical to the R, but with the addition of what Intel calls Quick Resume Technology, or QRT.

With the help of Intel's drivers, QRT enables a special Quick Resume state that attempts to mimic the instant power on/off response of consumer electronics equipment. Of course, QRT doesn't actually make your system boot or shut down any faster. Instead, the Quick Resume state halts video output, mutes audio output, and switches the monitor into a low-power state, leaving the rest of the system running as-is. So rather than actually shutting down, the system just plays dead—and not very well with all its fans spinning as if nothing had happened.

In addition to requiring support for QRT, Viiv certification has stringent standards for onboard audio. As a result, the 975X Platinum is equipped with Realtek's ALC882M codec, and there's a fancy Dolby Master Studio sticker on the box. The 965P has to make do with Realtek's value ALC883 codec, which has a lower signal-to-noise ratio than the ALC882M

Mitsubishi rolled out a pair of new projectors today, covering budget-minded users and those less so with its XL650U DLP projector and SD105U LCD model. On the low end, the XL650U will give you an 800 x 600 native resolution with 1,600 ANSI lumens brightness and an 1,800:1 contrast ratio, all for just $599. It comes up a bit short in the port department, however, with just single VGA, S-Video, and composite inputs (no component or DVI). Needless to say, Mitsubishi's aiming this one more at the business and education market than home theater enthusiasts on a budget. Taking things up a notch, the company's $5,995 SD105U LCD projector will give you a decent 1024 x 768 native resolution but is mostly notable for the blinding 4,200 lumens it'll pump out, although that's balanced out by the unit's less than impressive 600:1 contrast ratio. While the input situation's improved here, with not one but two DVI ports, the premium price tag means Mitsubishi's still mostly counting on corporate users to soak up all those lumens. Of course, nothing is stopping anyone from snapping either one of 'em for some less-than-intended purposes -- both are available now.

This just in from our Tokyo bureau: according to an interview conducted by Japan's Impress, Sony's Ken Kutaragi has gone on record with a "promise" for what he's calling an AV-centric PS3. In other words, audio and video capabilities first, gaming second (if at all), in a device built around the Cell-processor platform. Ken says that the device would certainly be more expensive, reflecting the prices and margins expected on high-end consumer electronic devices such as TVs, Blu-ray personal video recorders, etc. -- not the relatively cheap, but powerful gaming rigs sold at a loss under Sony's Computer Entertainment division. Impress speculates that the device could cost as much as ¥300,000 or about $2,500. The new Sony-branded living room box would, in Ken's (translated) words, "be a standard AV component sized box with a more powerful, power supply unit, anti-shake insulator, twice the main memory, and 2x HDMI to split sound and video output." More Cell-processor devices in the living room? We say bring it, Sony.

We've got next-to-invisible objects and cameras with ridiculously large sensors, and thanks to a team of brilliant researchers over in Germany, now we've got "an exotic material with a negative refractive index for visible light." Gunnar Dolling and his colleagues at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany have created a metamaterial with layers of silver sandwiching a thin sliver of nonconducting magnesium fluoride on a glass sheet, and once an array of square holes were etched in, his tests showed that the "structure had a negative refractive index of -0.6 for light with a wavelength of 780-nanometers," besting the previous record of 1,400-nanometers. While the scientific babble may not mean much to you, the long and short of it is that this discovery could "lead to further breakthroughs in invisibility cloaks which could hide objects from the human eye," enabling supreme stealth and a right be terribly afraid (and thrilled, too). Moreover, the technology could be used in "superlenses" to see details "finer than the wavelength of visible light," but Dolling is reportedly more interested in studying the effects of his discovery than attempting to build any mystical devices, which is probably for the good of mankind, anyway.

While not quite as unique as Gold Kiwi's most recent device, Qstarz BT-Q818 is handy nonetheless. The DOUBLE 32 Bluetooth GPS receiver purportedly tracks 32 satellites and boasts 32 hours of battery life, theoretically "doubling" your chances of survival when roughing it in the cold, dark wilderness. It also packs a tracking sensitivity of -158dBm, typically acquires a signal in around 39 seconds after booting up, and is Bluetooth v1.2 compliant. This little geo-locator can withstand some pretty serious temperatures too, and while we certainly wouldn't want to be meandering around for 32 hours, you can pick this up for €89 ($117) if you're the uber-adventurous type.

Iomega's got a soft spot for Mac users, or pre-formatted HFS+ drives one, as its two new external storage options both come ready to rock on OS X. On the desktop side, a whopping 1TB now sits behind the unmistakable cheese-grater grille (up from the previous 640GB and 750GB options) in the latest UltraMax drive. Moreover, the unit comes with FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0 connectivity, a built-in port hub, and cables for all three connectors. The twin 7200RPM SATA drives support both RAID 0/1 and JBOD, while those looking for backup software will be elated to find EMC's Retrospect Express packaged in. On the portable front, the 5400RPM 120GB Black hard drive needs no AC adapter to get to spinnin', and features both FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 ports while weighing just 5.8-ounces and receiving the same backup application as the big guy. Both drives can be snapped up right now, and while the presumably PowerMac-inspired 1TB UltraMax will run you $499.95, the pocket-friendly Black only demands $189.95.

Kokuyo of Japan have a new, adjustable mouse for your consideration. The "Just One" optical mouse developed jointly with Japan's Digital Human Research Center comes with three different size-caps for those equipped with the wee hands of porcelain, regular, or the kind of manhooks which make the ladies swoon and robots shudder. Other than that novelty, you're looking at an 800dpi optical mouse with 2 buttons plus scroll for about ¥3,480 (about $29) when these land November 17th. Yeah, we're all a bit too lazy to bother switching caps at home, but these little critters might just tempt HR into an OSHA-inspired purchase for the office.

In addition to their XPS gaming rig, Dell also bumped the specs on their 30-inch widescreen 3007WFP LCD today. The Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC now covers 92% of the NTSC color space for "richer, more dynamic colors" via a Wide Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting (W-CCFL) backlight. It still features that same, sweet 2560x1600 (WQXGA) resolution we can't live without while shaving the response down from 14 to 8-ms. Available sometime later this year for $1,699 -- yeah, that's right around $400 more than the 3007WFP.

JVC has a new top-end LCoS projector set for release with this, their 1080p DLA-HD1. This projector goes Full HD with a 1920x1080 pixel resolution pumped out that trio of 0.7-inch D-ILA devices. Those D-ILAs coupled with a new optical engine which prevents light leakage into the projection lens gives the DLA-HD1 bragging rights to the industry's highest, 15,000:1 native contrast ratio -- "true black" reproduction according to JVC without any iris mechanism. The projector operates at just 25dB in normal mode while pumping 700 lumens off a 200W ultra high pressure lamp. It also brings a 2x manual zoom/focus Fujinon lens and 4-ms response. Oh bonus, unlike the $20k Meridian Faroudja or $6k Cinetron 1080p LCoS offerings, JCV tosses in 2x HDMI inputs on top of component, S-Video, and composite inputs for just ¥798,000 (about $6,753) when these hit Japan starting in late January '07.
