Feature Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Build It: Home Recording Studio We hit the annual Audio Engineering Society expo in San Francisco and cruised the show floor for an afternoon. Here are some of the more interesting things we encountered on our adventure. www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1706280,00.asp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ II. How To ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How To Get the Most Out of Your Pentium 4 We test five motherboards that use variants of the Intel 915 chipset, plus one 865PE board with an LGA775 socket. Do you really need a pricey 925X board to get the most out of the new Pentium 4 line? www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1711115,00.asp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ III. Buying the Right Components ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sharp Aquos 37-Inch HDTV Sharp's Aquos line of LCD HDTVs has a reputation for being one of the best in the business. We took the company's 37-inch Aquos LC-37G4U for a long test-drive and now we don't want to give it back. Come see why. www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1708821,00.asp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IV.
