Good, affordable charger
2009-05-24I was able to get this for less than $5 shipped and it has been amazing. I use the four batteries for my Wii remotes and they hold a decent charge. They last well and have held up well so far (over a year).
Only downside is the long charge time (20 hours) but you just have to be vigilant and be sure to unplug the charger. For those people complaining about the batteries not lasting, they probably have not taken care of the batteries. Charge only when completely drained, charge for the recommended time and you will have no issues.

Batteries are okay, but the charger is dangerous
2009-01-05There's no automatic shutoff. The batteries can be dramatically overcharged and may well explode. They were too hot to touch when I unplugged the charger... After that the charger was thrown away.

Digital Concepts AA/AAA Battery Charger
2008-12-07This is absolutely worthless!!! It takes forever (at least a week) to charge batteries and you have to watch so it doesn't overheat. I watch it like a hawk and leave it plugged in when I am home and unplug it when I leave for work. I've done that for about 2 weeks trying to charge the batteries and I still haven't gotten the "green lights". I would not waste your money. This is one of those "you get what you pay for" items. It is inexpensive to buy but a piece of garbage that doesn't work and you have to watch. Honestly, I wouldn't even give this a one star rating.

Battery Charger
2008-07-16Found this item to be of adequate quality for the money. One drawback. It does not shut off automatically. You will have to remind yourself to remove from the receptacle within 24 hours or the batteries and unit will become hot. Feel I got my monies worth..

batteries ok,. charger works, good price
2008-06-03Batteries charged ok and work with no problem.
I bought it for the batteries (great price for
AA's) inspite of some negative review for the
charger. I did not encounter any problems with
the charger as others did.

Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
The Core 2 Duo Processor
Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...

This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
