(Product Announcement) NETGEAR announced their new FS700 family of Modular Fast Ethernet switches for small businesses. NETGEAR's FS700 series is the company's first line of switches with higher port density and modular gigabit uplinks. The 24-Port FS726 and the 48-Port FS750 Modular Fast Ethernet Switches enable users to migrate from fiber to copper networks, work with the flexibility to expand and grow their networks, and provide users with the technology to connect to the server or backbone network at Gigabit speeds. The FS750 and FS726 are unmanaged, making installation simple. LEDs located on the front panel make it easy to check the switch status and troubleshoot.

FS750 & FS726 Features & Benefits:

  • Capacity - 48 10/100 ports (FS750) and 24 10/100 ports (FS726), plus two uplink bays for copper or fiber gigabit modules give the network a huge boost of scope and power.
  • Flexibility - Two hot swappable front module bays accept either copper (AG711T, $250) or fiber gigabit uplinks (AG711F, $340), which allow flexibility as the network grows.
  • High Performance and Quality - The switches come with top-quality components and a high-performance chip set from Marvell/Galilleo.
  • Efficient - With non-blocking switch capacity, the switches can move data at wire speed over fiber or copper connections.
  • Reliable - Flow control technology based on the IEEE 802.3x standard prevents any packet loss.
  • Easy-to-Install and Ease-of-Use - The FS750 and FS726 are unmanaged, making it simple to install. Simply plug the unit in. LEDs located on the front panel make it easy to check the switch status and troubleshoot.
  • Auto Uplink - The Auto Uplink function automatically detect connection type (connection to PC or switch, hub or router).
  • Complete - All the parts needed to stack are included (cables & 19''rack mount hardware for a value of over $100), making the FS750 and FS726 easy to order and easy to install.
  • Cost Effective - Both the FS750 and FS726 provide enterprise-class features in switches designed and priced for the small and medium business budget. Expected street price for the FS750 is $900, and expected street price for the FS726 is $600.
  • Availability - Catalog, Value Added Resellers, e-Commerce Warranty - Five-year warranty for unit and power supply

From Hardware Central: E.G. for Example: Of Chipsets and Confidence - Worried about whether the economy, especially the tech sector, will go over the brink of recession after Tuesday's acts of war? PC silicon and sales forecasts seem equally trivial right now, but something Intel did Monday suggests that a mix of technology, value, and market psychology will keep us on track.

Elsewhere on the web today...

MadOnion has posted a Crucial RAM Review:
"Today’s SDRAM platforms default to PC133. PC133 just means that the RAM is certified to work at bus speeds up to 133 MHz."

X-bit labs has posted an Intel Pentium III-S 1.13GHz (Tualatin) Review:
"As you can see, Tualatin occupies a negligibly small share among the mainstream CPUs. Instead, since Q4 Tualatin will be implemented in the Celeron processors. The first Celeron CPUs based on the new 0.13-micron core will be clocked at 1.2GHz, and within the first half of 2002 the clock frequency of the value Tualatin will be brought up to 1.4GHz."

Digit-Life has posted a new Leadtek WinFast GeForce3 TDH review:
"The hardware monitoring technology from Leadtek appeared not so long time ago on one of numerous GeForce2 MX cards. And today we will examine a card which differs from the previous version exactly in this feature."

Tweakmax has a review of the 0.15 micron SiS 315-AGP video card:
"The PCB of the 315 is of medium size, and traditional fiberglass color. The 315 is roughly of the same size as NVIDIA's GeForce2 MX. 64 megabytes of SDRAM is divided into eight chips, each rated at 166MHz. The 315 chip supports anywhere between 32MB of SDRAM all the way up to 128MB of DDR-RAM. Our test card came equipped with 64MB of SDRAM, and SiS tells us that DDR-RAM might be an option in the future."
