(02/05) Asrock K8 Upgrade 760 GX review by Ultimate Hardware - "Asrock K8 Upgrade 760 GX review testing the feature packed Asrock K8 Upgrade 760 GX against the Asrock K7S8XE+. This motherboard is compatible with Socket 754 processors but can also use the latest Socket 939 processors when used with the Asrock 939 CPU Card. It has all of the latest features such as Sata, Lan etc and also includes the DirectX 8.1 supported Mirage2 integrated graphics."
(02/05) Leadtek GeForce 6800 GT review by Bjorn3D - "very so often I like to do a review where I compare a high-end video card to a top-shelf mid-range card so that consumers can see what they get for usually about twice the price. The main focus of this review will be the Leadtek WinFast PX6800 GT TDH, but the secondary theme will be this comparison. I recently reviewed the Gigabyte 6600 GT, which is definitely a great mid-range card that many people would love to have."
(02/05) HIS Radeon X800 XL review by LegionHardware - "Late last year ATi refreshed their Radeon X800 series by adding another five products to the mix. From these five new products the Radeon X800XL was by far the most interesting and potentially the most valuable to the consumer. The Radon X800XL is an interesting product because despite the core and memory clock speeds, it is much like the Radeon X800XT. However, with a clock speed of just 400MHz it is also the slowest Radeon X800 16 pixel pipeline graphics card. Being the slowest 16 pixel pipeline X800 graphics card does not make the X800XL all that slow, but it does make it quite cheap. Priced at roughly $300 US, the Radeon X800XL has the potential to really eliminate the much more expensive Radeon X800/X850 cards."
(02/05) Sapphire Radeon X850 XT PCIe review by FiringSquad - "ATI’s first true effort to capture the same spirit NVIDIA enthusiasts currently enjoy with the GeForce 6800 GT are the X800 XL and the X850 XT. Both of these cards feature 16 pipeline architectures and high-speed memory interfaces with 256-bit memory controllers, giving them the same fundamental elements that are found in ATI’s flagship X850 XT Platinum Edition card. The one key difference between the two lies in their underlying plumbing: X800 XL is built on TSMC’s 0.11-micron manufacturing process, while X850 XT is built at 0.13-micron."
(02/05) MSI GeForce 6600 GT review by PCStats - "On PCstats test bench today are a pair of MSI Computer NX6600GT-TD128E videocards that are literally made for each other. Based around the GeForce 6600GT core, both cards are backed up with 128MB of memory on a 128-bit bus. The NX6600GT-TD128E is based on thePCI Express x16 video slot. Goodies included along with the fire engine red videocard are a DVI-to-analog converter, an S-video/composite/component video break out box, and an SVideo-to-SVideo cable."
(02/05) Gigabyte Radeon X850 XT-PE review by LegionHardware - "These solutions are currently the best of the best from ATi and will most likely wind up only in the hands of the luckiest gamers out there. These graphics cards are the X800XT, X800XT PE, X850XT, X850XT PE and also the X800XL. Now the X800XT and X800XT PE are the original X800 flagship products. There is little difference between the two performance wise, though the X800XT PE (Platinum Edition) is faster due to slightly improved core and memory frequencies. However, the X800XT PE was released exclusively for the PCI Express bus where as the X800XT was both PCIe and AGP compatible."
(02/05) Asus Radeon X700 review by LegionHardware - "The Radeon X700 can be considered a mainstream product as the average card carries a sub $200 US price tag. Though this may not be as affordable as say the X300 series, these are certainly mid-range performance products. The typical price of a Radeon X700 being $200 US or less, they certainly offer an exceptional bang for your buck factor. This new Radeon X700 series have virtually ended all Radeon X600 graphics cards, leaving them for dead of a performance vs. price ratio. However, the Radeon X600XT is not the Radeon X700 Pros source of competition, the mighty GeForce 6600 GT on the other hand is."
(02/05) DFI LanParty UT nForce4 Ultra review by Neoseeker - "Today we take a look at one of DFI's entries into the Socket 939 and PCIe market in the LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D. DFI combines the rich feature set of the nForce 4 Ultra chipset with their rich overclocking palette along with a few extras like the additional x16 PCIe slot. DFI looks like they may have the combination for success and we'll take a closer look at the nF4 Ultra-D right now."
(02/05) Sapphire Radeon X800 PCIe review by TheTechZone - "The Sapphire Radeon X800 card is in the current series of X800 graphic chips offered by ATI. Currently, the ATI X800 graphic chips are the high end line, consisting of X800 SE, X800, X800 XL, X800 XT, X800 XT PE, X850 Pro, X850 XT, and X850 XT PE (whew). The X800 series spans the mid-range to high-end price range of cards. There are no architectural differences between the chips in the series. The main differences between the chips in the series are how many pixel pipelines are enabled (12 or 16) and their clock speeds."
(02/05) PowerColor Radeon X700 Pro PCIe review by XBitLabs - "Announcing its new RADEON X700 graphics processor back on September 21, 2004, ATI Technologies unveiled two X700-based graphics cards, RADEON X700 XT and RADEON X700 PRO. The company put the same recommended price on these two devices ($199) that only differed in their clock rates and the amount of graphics memory on board. The RADEON X700 XT is clocked at 475/1050MHz (core/memory) but has only 128 megabytes of memory, whereas the PRO model comes with twice as much memory but works at 420/864MHz frequencies."
(02/05) AOpen n250a-FR nForce3 250 review by PCStats - "PCStats will be focusing in on the AOpen n250a-FR Socket 754 nForce3-250 motherboard in this review. This board supports any Socket 754 AMD Athlon64 or any of AMD's new budget 32-bit AMD Sempron processors. Three DDR memory slots accommodate up to 3GB of non ECC unbuffered PC3200 DDR RAM. Both the socket 754 Athlon64 and Sempron processors run with single channel DDR, as does the nForce3-250 chipset."
(02/05) Soltek K890Pro-939 VIA K8T890 review by Viperlair - "The SL-K890Pro-939 is a standard sized motherboard (9.8" x 12.2") that should have no issues fitting in any ATX compliant case. Everything is neatly laid out with no problem areas evident at first glance. The ram slots are placed near the edge of the board, and owners of large PCIe graphics cards will have no clearance issues with the ram clips. We do have to mention that in future, we would prefer not to see feature stickers stuck on to key areas as there was a bit of residue left over when we pulled them off (the ram and PCI slots in particular). This was easily fixed with some 99% rubbing alcohol, but it was an added nuisance. Other than the motherboard, we received the usual assortment of SATA and rounded IDE cables, manuals and driver disks."
(02/05) Albatron GeForce 6600 PCIe review by PCStats - "What makes the Albatron Trinity GeForce PC6600U special is that it is one of the first commercially available, virtually silent videocards. This next generation 'stealth assassin' gives the consumer excellent performance without the noise. Nice. Based on the GeForce 6600 GPU, the PCI-Express based, SLI-compatible, Albatron Trinity GeForce PC6600U has 128MB of memory as well as an impressive heatpipe GPU cooling system that is virtually dead silent. All this runs for about $160USD."
(02/05) Gigabyte Radeon X800 review by Neoseeker - "As we mentioned before the X800 is a 12-pipe X800 chip putting it more in the realm of the 6800 rather than the 6600GT. Gigabyte has chosen to pair the X800 with 256 MB of GDDR3 memory which sits on a 256-bit memory interface. The clock speeds are a healthy 400 MHz core and impressive 980 MHz DDR. This is a far cry from the reference ATI design which has the memory clock specified at 700 Mhz DDR and the memory configuration pegged at 128MB. Based on our experiences with the passive GeForce 6800, I have doubts about the overclocking abilities as the passive 6800 seemed stretched to the limit. As with the Sapphire X800 XL, it does not look like Gigabyte will hit the 199$ SRP set by ATI but Gigabyte has beefed up the memory and the cooling solution."
(02/05) Albatron K8X890 Pro II VIA K8T890 review by PCStats - " Today we're going to look at an Albatron K8X890 Pro II motherboard which uses VIA's new K8T890 chipset, so you know what that means - PCI Express videocards! This Albatron motherboard supports all Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 or FX processors as well as up to 4GB of unbuffered non-ECC PC3200 DDR memory (in dual channel). The VIA K8T890 chipset supports PCI Express, so as you'd expect we see a full PCI Express x16 video slot on this board as well as a single PCI Express x4 peripheral slot."
(02/05) PowerColor Radeon X800 PCIe review by FiringSquad - "ATI’s answer to the GeForce 6600 GT was the RADEON X700 XT. The RADEON X700 XT matched up well to the GeForce 6600 GT, featuring similar clock speeds and a somewhat similar architecture. ATI did a few things different than NVIDIA with X700 XT, going beyond the GeForce 6600 GT’s design in many ways, but ultimately ATI just couldn’t produce the X700 XT in the volumes needed for a mainstream part at the lofty clock speeds they had set and the project was canned, with the few X700 XT chips that were produced eventually finding their way into higher end X700 PRO cards like the Sapphire X700 PRO TOXIC we reviewed two weeks ago."
