Computer Reviews

The perfect stick of SODIMM for a wonderful price. I bought two of these and now my laptop is screaming fast with 1 GB of RAM. If you haven't purchased a RAM upgrade for your Toshiba, what are you waiting for? This is a night and day difference!

This RAM is wonderful! I would recommend it highly for your Toshiba notebook.

OK, I don't typicaly sing the praises of wireless network cards -- I've had my share of frustration with them in the past (limited range, connection failures, etc.). But the SMC2642W is the best of any cards I've tried -- and that includes full size PCMCIA versions!

I originally order a Dell branded 802.11b card with my Axim X5. I could never get it to work even when standing next to the access point. So, back it went.

I little gun shy, it was a while before I risked trying another CF card. But a great deal on the SMC card convinced me to give it a try. Setup is a little complicated under PocketPC 2002, but this is not SMC's fault and I understand that PocketPC 2003 is much better in this regard. Even so, I was up and running in about 15 minutes.

This SMC card has yet to fail to connect from anywhere in the house (with SMC AP) or my office (with D-Link AP). I can connect much more easily than with my two PCMCIA cards (one of them also an SMC).

After the bad experience with the Dell card, this card is a joy to use. Also, it fits very nicely into the Axim without obstructing any connectors. Power consumption seems fine, although I usually unplug it when I don't need it.

Highly recommended (and I thought I'd never say that about an 802.11b card).

The card works great in my iPaq 3835 with the CF Sleeve. Installation was simple, and with the power save mode, I get about 3 hours of use from the battery in the CF sleeve.

Socket designed this SDIO Low Power WLAN Card to be Battery Friendly, which means using this card you will get the maximum possible battery life from your Pocket PC.

Socket's WLAN Utility enables me, as a Network Admin, to monitor wireless network performance, view IP address data, and configure advanced settings. Since most of my employees use Pocket PC 2002, I can use Socket's utility to create, save, and connect to separate WLAN profiles, giving me the flexibility to work with each employee's needs. Employees using Pocket PC 2003 has the advantage of using Microsoft's Zero Configuration utility. My people loves the fact that when their Pocket PC is connected to a wireless LAN, the WLAN card is in idle (listening) mode about 90% of the time, with occasional short bursts of data being transmitted/received. I would strongly recommend this card to anyone working on the go, away from office or school.

This SDIO Wireless LAN Card's 40/64-bit and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security protects data in transit by adding encryption with minimal impact on performance.

Socket's Low Power SDIO Wireless LAN Card is industry's first SDIO card for WLAN. It is about 54mm long and weighs less than 6g. Being compatible with 802.11b means it interoperates with 802.11b Wi-Fi approved WLAN products from 3COM, Cisco, Aironet, Intel, Breezecom, Lucent, Xircom, Linksys, D-Link, and others including Motorola, which I am using right now. I am able to wireless ActiveSync without any problems. Its Power Save Mode minimizes power usage while maximizing data throughput when I need it the most. As I am always on the go, this card's small external antenna reduces the chance of damage. I highly recommend it for any PDA owners using Pocket PC 2002 or Pocket PC 2003 with a supported SDIO slot.

Sonnet has done an awesome job on this upgrade card. Everything is superfast. My machine now kicks pentium butt! So if your looking for an economical way to upgrade your G4 computer. Go with this one. Especially since the Dual G4 upgrades aren't quite in the price range of most people! My G4 now gets almost 8 gigaflops in the graphics department under Open GL and Altivec Basic Tests. That is 8 billion floating point calculations per second. Wow! Say hello to obselesence Pentium boys!

I put this 1.4ghz upgrade into my 2001 Digital Audio G4/733. My Mac now SCREAMS, it's so fast. I ran the Xbench (www.xbench.com) utility, which now rates my Mac at 129 -- comparable to dual G4 1ghz machines. This is how I wanted my Mac to be for a long time. HIGHLY recommend that if you have a G4 running at less than 1ghz, install this upgrade. It's easy to do and well worth it. Everything about my Mac is dramatically faster.

This is one of the best players I've ever had. It has lasted me three times as long as my other cd players have, and it eats up as little battery juice as a regular radio walkman. If you need a cd player, this is the one I recommend

If you looking for an excellent basic player,stop looking further,this is just the right player for you.this player has everything you expected, from super anti-shock protection to bass booast and the player time is just right, more than 30 hours of music you will enjoy.And most important this player will not skip even if the ESPMAX function is off.the bass effect is excellent and it is also adjustable by threelevel.ok,lastly,this player is super value for your money.

Ok, this CD player is great, it's soo cute, and you'll fall in love with it as soon as you put a cd in it. You should buy this CD player if you love listening to music more than anything. I love this CD player, but I wished mine worked better. Mine dosn't work so well because I'm a clumsy teen, and either me or one of my friends are dropping it all the time. But it's still great, I want to buy another one.

it's a sony!!!! could there be any other phrase to describe the sony D-EJ855?? how about invinceable,charming,sleek,versatile,beautiful!! you will be rewarded many times over with the purchase of this new hot cd player!! its not just any ordinary cd player!! sony thought of every thing from ithe gumstick batteries to its joggable slim remote to the external battery pack its perfect!! its a must buy!you'll be happy guarenteed!!!!!!!! shane

Seeing my review was still the only one I figured it was time for a follow-up:
I purchased this player ... and thought it was worth it- now it's way down. From what I know of, it is the only Sony in production that has the feature combination it does with the style the d-j405 has.
And that would include:
-CD Player with CD-RW playback (saves money by allowing you to use rewriteable CD's)
-G-Shock Protection- no skips. period. And unlike ESP Protection, G-Shock enabled SAVES battery life
-AM/FM Tuner with more presets than you can ever use. Good reception as well
-Remote control- great if you're walking or jogging and need to put the unit in your pocket but still need control (can change tracks, volume, radio presets)
-Rechargeable batteries- good life span. charged in-unit (also, battery compartment is inside the player, so batteries don't fall out)
-Street-style headphones are a good compliment to the remote (due to cord length), are as shown on picture above

I've had the unit for about 5 months now and there are no complaints. Sony has once again made a great, stylish unit packed with functionality. IRiver does make a similar model with an mp3 cd player function, but it doesn't have the same shock protection, earbuds that are included are cheap (so i've heard), and battery pack doesn't last that long. Sony makes a sports model like this also but it is more money, and in my opinion doesn't look as good (this one looks pretty stylish) If you're looking for a CD player with an am/fm tuner, this is the one to go with.

I purchased the D-FJ61 a few years back and wanted to get a new unit. I was pondering between the FJ-401 and this one. The FJ-401 is the same unit, excluding the remote function and rechargeable batteries- but its definately worth the extra money to get those. The player itself is all you would expect from Sony- I had no major issues. TV/Weather Band is a nice feature, but I can't get any Weather Band Stations. There are only 3 direct preset buttons- but they can be set for any band. There's no more FM1/2/3- presets can be scrolled through now, and there's room for more presets then there are stations that I listen to- I could pretty much preset every station there is. The CD player works great- G Shock Protection has a defiante edge over ESP. The rechargeable battereries included have quite a long life as well. If you're looking for a portable CD/Radio Tuner Combo and don't mind putting in the extra buck, this is the one to go with.

In my accessory manual for my FD200 it lists this
item. That means it will aslo work with the FD200.

So take heed FD users, this will work for you TOO!

Pity it didn't come with the camera, but for outdoor use it's a real lifesaver. Especially for those bright days when it's exceptionally hard to see the viewfinder.

The only thing I miss with this device is a MEMORY STICK.
This is one of Most Complete Heroes of Sony!

ATTENTION ALL 8mm, Hi8 and Digital8 camcorder users!

Sony does it again. Backwards compatibility. Now all those 8mm video tapes can be viewed on the GV-D800 4 inch built-in LCD screen, or externally through composite video cables, S-video cables to a TV/HDTV, VCR-VHS/Super VHSor a 4 pin FireWire (digital 520 line video and digital sound) compatible equipment like a DVD recorder (ie Philips DVDR-985 Progressive Scan Recorder/Player) or PC, or Digital8 camcorder.

Many Digital Features for Editing, Digital imaging, Zoom, HiFi Sound, tape jitter correction, create sepia - monochrome - solarize imaging, negative art to mention a few.

This allows us to look, upgrade, edit those old tapes and digital transfer to DVD burner etc. Upgrading those 16 year old 8mm/240 horizontal line analog tapes, those 10 year old hi8/400 horizontal line analog tapes to a digital format maintaining picture quality & even improving quality on some application. You can also View & Copy Digital8/520 horizontal line digital tapes via FireWire with NO SIGNAL LOSS. NOTE: to maintain this new digital quality experience you must have all necessary digital compatible equipment!P>THe GV-D800 Digital Video Cassette Recorder and 8mm, Hi8 and Digital8 Player is a great investment for backward compatibility and DVD+RW and DVD+R Recording. Imagine transferring those old tapes to fast/high resolution digital picture & sound.

This unit is tiny 2 lbs. (6 inches x 6 inches x 2 1/2 inches high) but delivers big results. Plays all 8mm analog & digital tape formats, Records only Digital8 tapes.

Base unit comes with - all cables necessary for hook-up, external power supply, 4 inch built-in high resolution color LCD Screen & 76 page Owners Manual.

This is for the serious 8mm videophile who wants to enter the Digital8 world with a lasting versatile system. Move it to a DVD recorder or PC DVD burner. This is expensive but the 520 line digital picture and digital hifi sound is awesome. Enjoy!

I have had my sony dream machine for over 10 years. It's survived numerous moves, countless spills, high school, college, exams, interviews, and a seriously grouchy un-morning person. The huge snooze button is a big plus and it's almost impossible to mistake it for the tiny "off button" in the back. Only now is my dream machine starting to lose some of its luster and I fear I may have to buy a newer model. Luckily, they still make it! If you want a simple, consistent, and durable alarm clock, the dream machine is for you.

This is a great little item at a rock-bottom price.It must have been designed for those who do not like buttons everywhere.This clock is very simple to set and works like a charm.
