Questions I intend to answer!"

THERMALTAKE ELEMENT G CASE REVIEW AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "Thermaltake Element G (a.k.a. VL10001W2Z) is based on the same internal design used on Element S – seven internal 3 ½" bays, two internal 2.5" bays, etc –, but externally they are completely different products. Let's see what the differences between the two are and if it is worthwhile buying this case."

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4730 REVIEW AT TECH POWERUP - "Sapphire is one of two AIBs who are making the HD 4730 at this time, PowerColor is the second. As I am told by Sapphire the "HD 4730 GPU chips have to be ordered specifically at AMD". This means that AIBs are not just using their excess HD 4830 GPUs on these boards. It could still mean that AMD ships their excess HD 4830 GPUs as HD 4730 GPUs to AIBs. Whether any different binning is used is not known."

GIGABYTE G31M-ES2C REVIEW AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "Gigabyte G31M-ES2C is a value motheboard for Intel socket 775 processors based on Intel G31 chipset, which is today the simpliest chipset from Intel, supporting 45 nm CPUs, 1,333 MHz front side bus and 800 MHz memory modules in dual channel configuration.

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4890 TOXIC REVIEW AT TECH POWERUP - "Sapphire's new HD 4890 Toxic Vapor-X uses Sapphire's exclusive Vapor-X chamber cooling technology which is designed to move heat away from the GPU as quickly as possible. Think of it as a cooling baseplate that has a heatpipe in it. In addition to the Vapor-X cooler, Sapphire has bumped the clocks of their HD 4890 to 960 MHz core and 1050 MHz engine which is a nice increase from the stock clocks of the HD 4890 reference design."

EVGA GEFORCE GTX 275 REVIEW AT GURU3D - "On the NVIDIA side of things, one such manufacturer is the always shining eVGA, they released multiple versions of the GeForce GTX 275, and we'll be looking at one today. But not an ordinary version, no Sir. See, as your girlfriend will confirm, sometimes size matters ... and sometimes, size doesn't matter at all ... hey I said sometimes ;) The product we test today of course is that GeForce GTX 275 yet not with 896 MB of memory, no Sir .. it's doubled up towards an incredible 1792 MB. Said in Mac Donald terms .. eVGA super-sized it."

GALAXY GEFORCE GTX 275 OC 896MB REVIEW AT PC PERSPECTIVE - "The first GeForce GTX 275 graphics cards we saw came at the 11th hour in our testing of the new AMD Radeon HD 4890 card back in April; it is essentially one-half of a GeForce GTX 295 dual-GPU card with slightly increased clocks. While that doesn't sound too exciting in does create a high performance single-GPU graphics card with a low price in comparison to the GTX 285 with the only real technical differences between the two cards being the memory bus width (448-bit vs 512-bit) and frame buffer size (896MB vs 1GB)."

ALIENWARE M17X REVIEW AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "Alienware, now part of Dell, is a company focused on high-end gaming systems and last week they released what they are calling "the most powerful 17" gaming laptop in the universe". And they are not kidding: this laptop features three graphics processing units, a feature not found even on most desktops."

A BEVY OF NEW DESKTOP PROCESSORS ARRIVES AT TECH REPORT - "AMD and Intel have deluged us with new CPUs. The result? An enormous roundup of 26 different types of processors, including five brand-new ones. We've poked, prodded, tested for performance, measured power efficiency, overclocked, and considered the value propositions for CPUs from $87 to $999."

HIS RADEON HD 4770 REVIEW AT OCC - "The good people at HIS have send over a sample of one of these inexpensive wonders for us to have a go with. Can all this talk be true? Can a $100 graphics card actually play current game titles? Well, let's look a bit closer at the card and then find out for ourselves."

AMD DISPLAYS FIRST DIRECTX 11 GRAPHICS PROCESSOR AT TECH REPORT - "AMD has shown a DirectX 11-class GPU built using 40nm process technology. The chip was on display running tesslation and compute shader demos, including one that used OpenCL to speed video transcoding."

ASUS SHOWS SUPER-HD GAMING AT TECH REPORT - "Asus has a GeForce GTX 295 Mars graphics card with an obscene 4GB of memory driving an equally extravagant 3840x2160 display. Motherboards are also on display, including one X58 model with support for 6Gbps SATA."

INTEL SHOWS OFF LYNNFIELD AND CLARKSFIELD PCS AT TECH REPORT - "Intel is showing off PCs based on its upcoming Lynfield and Clarksfield mainstream Core i7 derivatives. Plus, we photograph an eight-core Nehalem-EX processor."

AMD EVERGREEN 40NM DIRECTX11 GPU ARRIVES AT ANANDTECH - "Evergreen is the codename for AMD's 40nm DX11 based product, although with AMD's codename shift this time around it is still a little ambiguous as to whether Evergreen is a GPU class or a specific configuration. While AMD it is exciting that they're sharing what they are, AMD are still holding quite a few cards close to their chest. We know almost nothing about the details of the configuration, except that is is built on a 40nm process, is fully DX11 compliant, and that there was a slide titled "DirectX 11: sooner than you think."

AMD SIX CORE ISTANBUL OPTERON REVIEW AT TECH REPORT - "The new "Istanbul" Opteron packs six cores into a single chip, which makes it the fastest, most power-efficient Opteron yet. But can it match Intel's formidable Nehalem Xeons? The answer might surprise you in more ways than one."

AMD PHENOM II X2 550 AND ATHLON II X2 250 REVIEW AT AMD ZONE - "It took more than a year for the first dual core processors based off the Phenom architecture to be released from AMD. Phenom hit in late 2007 and it wasn't until late 2008 finally we saw dual core processors based somewhat off the Phenom architecture with the Athlon X2 7750. Luckily that isn't the case with Phenom II, launched early this year dual core processors will be in stores soon and being announced now during Computex. We'll be looking at two of these: the Phenom II branded X2 550 and the Athlon II X2 250. How do they stack up to AMD's previous offerings? Let's find out."

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4770 REVIEW AT OCC - "Enter the Sapphire HD 4770, ATI's first video card equipped with a GPU manufactured using a 40 nanometer manufacturing process. In the current economic situation, people just dont have the disposable income they had even last year and are more frugal when it comes time to spend those hard earned dollars. The HD 4770, priced at $99, give or take a few dollars, is a card that looks to fill the performance void at the $100 price point. The card contains 826 million transistors, 640 shader processing cores, and 512MB of GDDR5 running through a 128-bit bus, to bring the crucial memory bandwidth back up to a respectable level. Clock speeds come in at 750MHz on the R740 core and 800MHz on the memory. So just where will the HD 4770 fall on the performance ladder when compared with cards priced just a bit higher?"

GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTS 250 REVIEW AT BJORN3D - "The GTS 250 is a recent release of an update to the 9800GTX+ card. While the 512MB version is a direct renaming of the 9800GTX+, Nvidia has even stated they can be run in SLI together, the 1GB version of the GTS 250 receives a die shrink to the 55nm process which produces less heat and consumes less energy."

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4890 VAPOR X REVIEW AT AMD ZONE - "Sapphire's Vapor-X line has been around now for some time and is Sapphire's custom heatsink and fan combination. It runs quieter than the standard heatsink and also should allow for better overclocking. Our model came pre-overclocked with a core of 875MHz (25Mhz more than normal) and 1GB of GDDR5 running at 1050Mhz (75MHz above the standard clock). It also is a very slick design and on Sapphire's blue PCB as opposed to ATI red. It is a very aesthetically pleasing card and a lot of that also has quite a bit of function such as the ramsinks covering all the memory modules."

ASUS RADEON HD 4770 REVIEW AT BJORN3D - "A GPU in the $100 price range isn't expected to pack high dollar punch, but it is nice to find one that packs a good price performance ratio. Your probably not going to run high end games at maximum settings, but you will be able to run most games at an acceptable level with a few compromises in game settings. Cards like the Asus EAH4770 are mainstream GPU's that give you the basic performance you need for productivity, and pack enough punch to let you game in the price range that won't break the bank."

XFX RADEON HD 4770 REVIEW AT MOTHERBOARD.ORG - "Recently, ATI launched their RV740 chip which is their mainstream version of their HD 4890 card. This is the card ATI targets for the $110 MSRP price range and is the replacement for the HD 4670 card. The HD 4770 is ATI's first 40 nanometer chip and should offer excellent performance for the price. XFX has released two versions of the HD 4770, one with the standard reference cooler and another with a heatsink/heatpipe/fan cooler. Today's review is on the HD 4770-YDFC card, which has the standard fan and heatsink."

MSI RADEON HD 4770 REVIEW AT MOTHERBOARD.ORG - "ATI launched the Radeon HD 4770 last month to a lot of fanfare for a video card that performs near the level of its bigger brother the HD 4870 with a price point of around $99 online. This card seems to pave the way with high performance and great feature sets that can't be met by NVIDIA's solution. ATI has delivered in a big way, outstripping the intended competition and bringing the first 45 nanometer process video cards to the desktop market, just like they were the first to deliver the first 40 nanometer mobile parts. Today's review is on the MSI R4770 T2D512 video card, the latest card from MSI."
