(04/06) POWERCOLOR X1800 GTO REVIEW BY GURU3D - "Today we'll be peeking at the rather lovely Radeon X1800 GTO from this company. So here it is my fellow guru's, a review on ATI latest 12-pipe mid-range product based on the X1800 silicon."
(04/06) MSI K8N DIAMOND PLUS NFORCE4 REVIEW BY NVNEWS - "Today NVNEWS is privileged with the opportunity of reviewing another potential 'diamond' from MSI. The K8N Diamond Plus uses the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI x16 PCI-Express chipset primarily consisting of two platform processors, the SPP (system platform processor) and the MCP (media communications processor) with a HyperTransport link sandwiched in between. A follow-up to the AMD nForce4 solution (K8N Diamond) as well as MSI's offering of the Intel nForce4 version, the P4N Diamond both of which have been successful in catering to the enthusiast. We fully expect to see a full-featured board similar to the previous offerings mentioned with some enhancements and hopefully some viable upgrades."
(04/06) ASUS GEFORCE 7600 GT REVIEW BY LEGION HARDWARE - "The GeForce 6600 GT is certainly one of the most successful graphics card series in history. 18 months since the release of the very first GeForce 6600 GT cards they are still selling quite well. However, sales are now starting to slow as the NV43 replacement begins to hit shelves. The new GeForce 7600 GT is based on the G73 core which boasts several key advantages over the older GeForce 6600 GT. Advantages that make the GeForce 7600 GT more powerful in today’s latest 3D games."
(04/06) GECUBE X1800 GTO 256MB REVIEW BY HARDWARE ZONE - "The original line of 'GTO' cards from ATI has done quite well in the market. Featuring a ragtag mixture of older cores, these cards were decent mid-range performers that provided good value provided you had no need for fancy Shader Model 3.0 class effects. The Radeon X800 GTO2 also delighted tweakers as they soon unlocked its pipelines and overclocked it to its full potential, one that matched the much more costly Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition. Therefore, what ATI did was to reproduce this winning formula, this time using the R520 cores of its somewhat successful Radeon X1800 series."
(04/06) MSI RADEON X1600 PRO 256MB REVIEW BY VIRTUAL HIDEOUT - "The Radeon X1600 series is designed to deliver outstanding digital entertainment and 3D graphics through its unique ultra-threaded architecture and Avivo video and display technology. The X1600 is CrossFire Ready to deliver the ultimate gaming performance. Radeon X1600 series transforms your PC with astonishing graphics performance and visual quality, creating a lifelike High Definition (HD) viewing experience with 3D games, DVD movies, and digital photography and video."
(04/06) ASUS GEFORCE 7800 GT REVIEW BY HOT HARDWARE - "The company in the spotlight today for doing just that is ASUS. The product getting the attention is the EN7800GT TOP Silent, which is based on the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT GPU. As you can guess by the name, this is a totally silent card thanks to innovative passive cooling. And contrary to what you may think, it's also factory overclocked. Even though the 7800 GT has been out for quite some time now, we were still excited about checking out this unique variant of the popular card. The potential for greatness is there; read on to find out if this card delivers."
(04/06) POWERCOLOR X1900 XT 512MB REVIEW BY REG HARDWARE - "The PowerColor X1900 XT's core is clocked at 625MHz, while its memory runs at an effective 1450MHz. That's 25MHz and 100MHz lower than the XTX's core and memory clock speeds, both of which are within reach of the XT if you're brave enough to overclock your graphics card. There really shouldn't be any need to do so, at least not if the benchmark numbers this card produced are anything to go by. Judging from our overclocking adventures with the Sapphire Blizzard card, another Radeon X1900 XT-based card, it seems like you can push the latest ATI GPUs quite hard."
(04/06) ASROCK 939SLI-ESATA2 REVIEW BY A1 ELECTRONICS - "If you are looking for a really great value for money AMD Athlon 64 939-socket motherboard then you need look no further than this super ASRock 939SLI-eSATA2. With SLI, PCI x16, RAID, SATA-II, Hot Plug features, eSATA-II, 5.1 channel high quality sound, 10/100 LAN all and upgradable to AM2 when available by the addition of a plug-in ASRock card this ASRock 939SLI-eSATA2 has more than plenty going for it."
(04/06) ECS KN1 EXTREME NF4 ULTRA REVIEW BY HARDWARE SECRETS - "KN1 SLI Extreme is a high-end motherboard from ECS for socket 939 CPUs (Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2 and Opteron) based on nVidia nForce4 SLI chipset. This is the first SLI-based motherboard from ECS that we reviewed, so let’s see how it performed."
(04/06) SAPPHIRE RADEON X1900 XT REVIEW BY TWEAKTOWN - "No matter how well a manufacturer does in the past makes no difference when it comes to a new product to test out. Today's contestant is the Sapphire X1900XT graphics card. Using the newer ATI R580 chipset and fitted with 512MB of onboard memory, we're going to put it through its paces and see how it compares to graphics boards using the Radeon X8xx series chipset. We'll take a look at features and performance numbers and try to help you decide whether this product would make a worthy upgrade in your own enthusiast rig."
(04/06) GIGABYTE RADEON X1300 PRO REVIEW BY LEGION HARDWARE - "Current generation budget graphics cards are better than they have ever been before, containing loads of new and up to date features. These highly affordable graphics cards support dual monitors, TV-Out/HDTV, 256MB of memory along with other unique features. For example Radeon X1300 graphics cards all support ATi’s Avivo and CrossFire technology, along with full support for Shader Model 3.0 and Microsoft DirectX 9.0c. Given a typical Radeon X1300 Pro retails for just $100 US, they are exceptionally good value"
(04/06) ASUS N4L-VM DH I945GM REVIEW BY PCPER - "The excitment behind Core Duo (aka. the Yonah processor), the sucessor of the first Pentium M processor, began late last year as Intel shared information on the core at IDF. The idea of getting the incredibly power efficient Pentium M CPUs in a dual core version was very exciting for not only the mobile market, but for a small niche of the desktop enthusiasts as well. "
(04/06) ASUS P5N32-SLI NFORCE4 SLI X16 REVIEW BY VIPERLAIR - "ASUS was among the first Tier-1 manufacturers to release SLI X16 products when NVIDIA made the announcement last year. Rather than slapping on some new chipsets on their existing SLI motherboards and calling it a day, ASUS had overhauled the boards specifically for enthusiasts. As we've seen with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, some of the workstation features of their Premium series were not exactly left out, but rather, they had been replaced. The ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe Intel based board we'll be looking at today continues the trend started by its AMD cousin, offering al of the same features, albeit with different CPU and memory support."
(04/06) ABIT AN8-32X NFORCE4 SLI X16 REVIEW BY PCSTATS - "ABIT's back and it's getting ready to give DFI, ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte a serious run for the money. It's newest flagship Athlon64 motherboard is the ABIT AN8 32X, based upon the nForce4 SLI x16 chipset (nVidia C51D and CK804 SLI). As you know, the nForce4 SLI x16 chipset allows two nVIDIA PCI Express videocards to run in SLI mode with each card receiving the full 16 PCI Express lanes. There is no bandwidth sharing between SLI videocards with this particular nForce chipset."
(04/06) DIAMOND RADEON X800 GTO REVIEW BY TECHPOWERUP - "The Diamond Viper X800 GTO has the same core as the ATI X850 series using an ATI R480 as well as Samsung GDDR3 memory, the Diamond GTO has 4 less pipes bringing the total to 12. For more information on GPUs look in the GPU Database. To also understand why the pipes are not unlockable read through the article by W1zzard here. The Viper X800GTO from Diamond looks to be a solid performer, so with the preliminaries out of the way let's proceed with the Diamond Viper X800GTO review."
(04/06) LEADTEK GEFORCE 7900 GT REVIEW BY AMDZONE - "Usually when launching a new generation of video cards we have to wait some time for overclocked versions of the card to appear from various vendors. With the 7900 and 7600 series from Nvidia there were pre-overclocked cards available immediately on launch day and we looked at a few our selves with great results. The 7900 series of video cards from Nvidia has proven that it is an excellent video card for gaming and today we have another to look at, Leadtek's WinFast PX7900 GT TDH Extreme."
