Product Description
Why our NEW Silver Serpent Reference 1080p HDMI cable is Better: Award-winning - 2006, 2005 & 2004 Perfect Vision Magazine's Editor's Choice. Precision Silver-coated conductors-for maximum signal transfer. Risk-free Money-Back Guarantee. Our 3rd Generation HDMI cable. Certified for the latest HDMI specification. Exclusively manufactured to BetterCables exacting specifications.Instantly improves your home theater experience. Amazing all-digital connection for clearest possible picture. Guaranteed to support all HDTV formats (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p). Larger conductors than most HDMI cables. Supports 8-channel digital audio on same cable. Also supports 6-channel, 96kHz audio. Support for One Bit Audio format, such as SuperAudio. The new BetterCables Silver Serpent Reference 1080p HDMI Cable offers the highest quality digital picture and sound available anywhere. We guarantee their performance with ALL HDTV resolutions plus 1080p at all of the lengths we offer. Triple-shielded and fully HDCP-compliant. High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any HDMI-enabled audio/video source, such as a cable or satellite set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver, plasma display, HDTV, projector or video monitor. The HDMI connection is one of the most difficult signals to handle well. HDMI cables must be designed properly to handle the necessary bandwidth, especially at the longer lengths and higher-resolutions. We guarantee that our cable will support any current and future resolution demands you can put upon it. In addition to silver in the conductors (silver being a better conductor than copper), we use larger gauge conductors. Generally speaking, larger conductors mean LESS resistance. Less resistance means less chance of digital dropouts. With resistance, the lower the measurement, the better.

Product Description
The new BetterCables Display Magic HDMI/DVI-D Cable offers the highest quality digital picture. FULLY HDCP-compliant! HDMI/DVI-D is an UNCOMPRESSED digital video interface used in high-performance equipment. HDMI/ DVI-D provides an interface between any HDMI/DVI-D enabled audio/video source (such as a cable or satellite set-top box, DVD player, computer) and HDMI/DVI-D display. One thing you will notice that is different about our new HDMI/DVI-D cables is their physically large size (compared to our flimsy competitors). This because in our experience, the digital connections benefit from LARGE conductors. Large conductors mean LESS resistance! Less resistance means less chance of digital dropouts (click the link on the right to see what we mean). With resistance, the lower the measurement, the better. Most of the available HDMI/DVI cables have resistance measurements of 65 to more than 105 ohms per 1000 feet. Ours are less than 26 ohms per 1000 feet. That is why with Display Magic HDMI/DVI Cables, you get a crystal-clear picture and sound at all available lengths. The Display Magic HDMI/DVI-D Cables also feature corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts, high-performance HDMI/DVI-D connectors and a rugged outer jacket.

Memory Upgrades 64MB 168-Pin 100Mhz DIMM for IBM
Manufacturer: MEMORY UPGRADES ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics ASIN: B00006HNJY |
Product Description
Why add more memory? More megabytes of memory mean more applications can be open at the same time on a desktop. In addition to this boost of the computer's handling capacity, additional memory can make applications run more quickly. More memory allows the CPU to retrieve and retain more data, which means the applications will normally appear to run faster and more efficiently. Many users blame the slow performance of their computer on the processor speed when, in fact, all they often need is simply to add more memory.This memory is designed for most of IBM PC 300 GL Model 6275, 6277, 6285, and 6287; PC 300 PL Model 6862 and 6892; PC 300 PL PII Model 6275 and 6285; Netfinity 1000 Model 8477; Netfinity 3000 Model 8476; Netfinity 3500 M10 Model 8655; IntelliStation E Pro Model 6893; IntelliStation M Pro Model 6889 and 6898.

Live and Learn.......2002-02-04
Binoculars all advertise a strange-looking formula, such as 7x35, 8x40 or 10x45. This formula is one of the key elements in judging a particular binocular, but few of us understand how to do so.
Most of us know that the first number in the formula is the magnification power, such as 7, 8 or 10. Something 1000 yards away looks as if it were only 100 yards away when viewed through a 10-power magnification. However, the amount of magnification is not an indicator of how good a binocular is. You pick the magnification based on your needs, keeping in mind that the higher the magnification, the more shake will appear in the image. The use of magnifications greater than 10 or so often requires a tripod for a steady image.
And, of course, the second number in the formula is the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters. The size of the objective lens controls the image received -- how much light is gathered. Also, larger objective lenses generally offer larger fields of view, or the width of the image that you see at a given distance, for example 350 feet at 1000 yards.
But it turns out that these two numbers can be used to calculate a third--and very important--one: the exit pupil diameter. The exit pupil diameter influences the brightness of the image that is transmitted to the eyes. All other things being equal, larger is better, especially in low light. In bright light, the viewer's pupils contract, making the size of the binocular's exit pupil less important. In these conditions, the brightness of the image is limited more by the size of the viewer's pupils. But in low-light situations, such as at dawn or dusk and in areas of heavy tree cover, the size of the exit pupil is very important.
The diameter of the exit pupil in millimeters can be calculated by the formula: D / P, where D is the diameter of the objective lens and P is the magnification power.
So a 10x25 binocular has an exit pupil of only 2.5mm, while a 10x50 binocular has an exit pupil of 5mm. This means that several times more light is passed to the eye with the latter than with the former. (Although the 10x50s will tend to be larger and heavier)
Keep in mind that there are additional variables that play a role, such as optical quality, coatings and prism type. With all other things being equal--say between a Tasco 7x42 and a Leica 7x42--the better quality binoculars will out-perform the lower quality ones. -- Scott Loban
Excellent small binoculars.......2001-12-04
The most important things I appreciate about these binocs are:
1. that they have a wide field of view (72 deg), which is useful in framing your subject and in compensating for the minor hand jitter attendant in a 10x mag binoc;
2. that they are reasonably small, portable and durable (they were effortless to carry with me when I went India earlier in the year, and very useful for spotting and identifying the birds wheeling over the city, and I didn't feel like the binocs were too fragile/expensive to carry around with me);
3. the field of view is flat and well-focused from edge to edge.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the tradeoff made in these binocs for optic quality versus total size (i.e. they are not among the smallest of the 'compact' binocs out there) was a good one. The bottom line is that you want the binocs to be small, but not to the extent that the image is poor. The porro prism design of this Olympus model adds a little bit of size to the binocs, but in return you get better optics. I have experienced many problems with other "compact" binocs in the inexpensive ( <$) price range because of the common use of cheap roof prism systems. Convergence problems sometimes manifest themselves in roof prism binocs; recognizable as vertical misalignment of the left and right eye images. This causes eyestrain. This Olympus model gives me a very clear image across the entire field of view with no convergence problems whatsoever.
