(12/03) Athlon XP Processor Chart by Ultimate Hardware - "AMD Athlon XP Processor Chart for the whole of the AMD Athlon XP processor range and gives information on the clock speed, multiplier and type of processor etc."
(12/03) EPoX 4PLAI Intel i848P review by Hexus - "With MSI dithering in getting us a sample, 848P slipped out of my radar and I admit I forgot about it. Last week though, EPoX got in touch to talk about some new samples of their latest wares and 848P popped up again. It turns out they do a super cheap 848P with a couple of memory slots, networking, decent onboard audio and a couple of SATA ports. So rather than take a look at a Super Canterwood Hypermarket DDR Extreme nForceFX XT Stream Laser something or other, that we'd seen already, I said yay to 848P. Riding the cheap bus can be fun too."
(12/03) AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0GHz review by XBitLabs - "We tested a new AMD processor based on AMD64 architecture and targeted for the mainstream market. The major advantage of this processor is the price, which is just slightly above $200, while the performance is very nice. Lets find out if this new attractive offer from AMD can compete successfully with the rivalry products."
(12/03) Albatron GeForceFX 5950 Ultra review by LegionHardware - "This year really was quite a disappointing year in the graphics card industry. There were a limited number of impressive products released and for the most part the industry was slow and quite disheartening. While ATi have enjoyed strong sales throughout 2003, their flagship product is based on an aging architecture. Also competing for sales in the graphics card industry is NVIDIA, who have had a very rough year during 2003. Unlike the ATi product launches, NVIDIA have been hit with problem after problem. First it was DirectX 9 causing numerous performance problems for NVIDIA followed by the elaborate cooling solutions their products."
(12/03) 3Dlabs Wildcat VP990 Pro review by Digit-Life - "The FireGL loses some lines when working through the special driver! The others work well. Speaking generally about the 3ds max, I must say that 3Dlabs' solutions are not a good choice for this packet. We do not recommend using the special driver for the fifth version of the packet because of too many bugs. Also, it doesn't make any sense to use the standard OpenGL driver because the operation is quite slow. We hope 3Dlabs will soon develop a high-quality driver for the 3ds max 5/6. At the moment the Wildcat VP990 Pro is not the best choice for the latest versions of 3ds max. The most optimal pick are NVIDIA's and ATI's products. Although their special drivers are not ideal, they are faster and deliver better quality. "
(12/03) Prolink GeForceFX 5700 256MB review by Guru3D - "In today's article I'll present you an overview of the 5700 with the help of a nice photo shoot, overview of the ForceWare drivers and then of course we'll dig into our benchmark suite where we have tested the card in both RAW and quality setting 8x Anisotropic filtering + Anti aliasing at four levels. That's not it though, in the article we are going to compare the new cards with almost all other GeForce FX cards and we'll throw in a couple of popular Radeon 9x00 cards as well. So this will be a very competitive review. The GeForce FX 5700 is the follow-up of the somewhat disappointing FX 5600 series and a product that is lined up against ATI's Radeon 9600 XT. Right now, value for money wise, the 5700 and the new 5900XT series will be the most interesting NVIDIA products for the most of you."
(12/03) Albatron KX18D Pro II nForce2 review by Bjorn3D - "As the latest and greatest in Athlon 64 processors and chipsets come out, the nForce 2 chipset still holds its own as king of the castle. These boards continue to provide top notch performance for a relatively low amount of money. It's still the best bang for the buck on the market. You can get this board and a 2500+ Athlon XP for under $200. That's a small amount of money for a board and processor package that you can be happy with for quite a while. So, it's obvious the chipset is not dead, and the Albatron KX18D Pro II is alive and packing a lot of performance into a low priced, high featured board. Let's take a look at the Albatron KX18D Pro II, featuring the nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset."
(12/03) BFG Asylum GeForceFX 5950 Ultra 256MB review by Bjorn3D - "Today, we get to take a look at their highest performing product, the Asylum GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB. Like many of the other companies offering NVIDIA-based solutions, BFG seems to try to differentiate some of their products with unique cooling solutions. I think this board has their best looking and probably best performing cooler yet. It resembles the one that was on the BFG 5900 board, but this time BFG's engineers have employed a heatpipe design for more efficient cooling."
(12/03) Connect3D Radeon 9800XT 256MB review by Digit-Life - "The year end is just around the corner, and it's high time to sum up what 2003 brought for 3D gamers. But today we will study one more production card based on the RADEON 9800 XT. The experience and other reviews on the net show that all of them are copies of ATI's original solution. All RADEON 9800 XT are produced at the same factory and ATI's partners buy the whole cards to sell under their on trade marks."
(12/03) CreativeLabs GeForceFX 5900 review by NVNews - "One such example is the GeForce FX 5900SE, which debuted around September of this year. The GeForce FX 5900SE is based on the GeForce FX 5900 and is outfitted with a lower clocked processor that operates at 400MHz and less expensive 2.8ns DDR memory that runs at 350MHz (700MHz effective). Add-in card manufacturers, such as Creative, eVGA, Gainward, and Leadtek jumped on the bandwagon and began offering graphics cards based on the GeForce FX 5900SE at very attractive prices."
(12/03) MSI RS3M-7003 Radeon 9100 IGP review by Motherboards.org - "ATI is a world leader in display device technology (read video cards). Existing as a company for the last 22 years, ATI is an old hat in the business that won't be going away anytime soon. Over the last 22 years, ATI has concentrated on building video cards and related technologies that aren't matched by any of their competitors at this time. ATI entered into the motherboard chipset race last year for the first time with the release of IGP320M and IGP320. Unfortunately, due to ATI mostly concentrating on the mobile front with this chipset, we only saw a few examples of the IGP320 in the desktop arena. With graphics based upon RADEON 7000 technology, the IGP320 is hardly a good integrated chipset for the modern games of today. Enter the IGP9100 chip set that I'm reviewing today."
