(12/05) ASROCK 939 DUAL SATA2 REVIEW BY ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Asrock 939 Dual Sata2 review testing this powerful feature packed motherboard using the ULI M1695 chipset against the Gigabyte K8NS Pro. The Asrock 939 Dual Sata2 is the motherboard everyone has been waiting for, full speed AGP 8x support, PCI Express 16x, Sata2 support and the Future CPU Slot for easy upgrading all on one motherboard."

(12/05) CLUB3D S3 DELTACHROME S8 REVIEW BY ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Club3D S3 Deltachrome S8 review also featuring MSI Geforce4 Ti4200, XFX Geforce FX 5200 and XFX Geforce MX 4000. We will also be testing the Deltachrome against the S3 Savage 2000 and S3 Savage4 to see how much of an improvement the Deltachrome is to the previous S3 video cards. Software used was 3dmark 2001 SE, 3dmark 2003, 3dmark 2005, PowerVR, Rightmark, Far Cry, Unreal Tournament 2004, Doom 3, Trackmania, Lego Star Wars, Delta Force, Scrapland, Warhammer 40K Dawn of War, Riddick, Quake 3 and Comanche4"

(12/05) AMD PROCESSOR CHART BY ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "This AMD processor chart contains useful information about the current AMD range of processors such as the Athlon64 FX, Athlon64 X2, Athlon64 and Sempron. The information which can be found in this chart contains the processor title and pr rating, amount of level 2 cache, front side bus speed, cpu mhz speed and the motherboard socket type."

(12/05) NVIDIA VIDEO CHART UPDATED BY ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Now includes specifications for the Geforce 7800 GS, Geforce 6800 GS and Geforce 6800 XT video cards."

(12/05) ATI VIDEO CHART UPDATED BY ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Now includes specifications for the x1900 XTX, x1900 XT and x1900 Cross Fire video cards."

(12/05) ASUS EXTREME N7800GT DUAL REVIEW BY COOLTECHZONE - "Guess what, 6800 is passé too. We are now moving towards the end of the reign of the 7800s as well and ASUS has come out with the 7800GT dual. Perhaps, if we get lucky, ASUS will provide a 7800GTX 512MB dual as well, but that so far seems to be only fiction. Thinking about single card SLI solutions, they would come in pretty handy if you cut corners while buying a motherboard and a non-SLI card. Needless to say, even with single GPU cards, users can play their favorite games at the maximum possible resolutions without having to buy an SLI solution, which will cost significantly more than a single GPU solution."

(12/05) GECUBE RADEON X1800XT REVIEW BY TWEAKTOWN - "While GeCube have released four variations of the Radeon X1800XT, we have the standard version with 512MB. There is also a standard version with 256MB and two “Extreme” versions with an increased core and memory speed which utilize 256MB and 512MB of onboard memory. Hopefully we will get a chance to look at the extreme version next year but in the mean time we will be looking at this bad boy."

(12/05) ATI RADEON X800 GTO ROUNDUP BY ANANDTECH - "Mid-range graphics cards are becoming more and more abundant on today's market from both NVIDIA and ATI. The market has become a little bit congested with cards like the X800 GT, X800, X800 XL, and four flavors of the scarce X1600. Many might want to read about hardware on the high-end, but what most people are actually buying is in the mid-range. And thus, we are taking a look at one of the best mid-range cards around. With all the clutter and options out there, it can be hard to figure out what to buy. Nevertheless, those who subscribe to the "more-is-better" philosophy will appreciate yet another mid-range graphics card from ATI called the Radeon X800 GTO."

(12/05) XGI VOLARI 8300 REVIEW BY PC STATS - "XGI has flourished quite well in the Asian market due to its low prices that resonate strongly with consumers. In North America, XGI is facing a more difficult path largely because of the competition put forth by comparable ATI and nVidia graphics cards that are marginally more expensive, but generally much more feature rich."

(12/05) ATI RADEON X1800 CROSSFIRE REVIEW BY TECH REPORT - "ATI'S FORTUNES HAVE BEEN dented a little bit by delays to its CrossFire dual-graphics solution and its Radeon X1000-series graphics chips, but red team has been scrambling to catch up. The company has brought to market most of the pieces of a brand-new, top-to-bottom lineup of products with a rapid-fire succession of product launches. After a few sputters, most Radeon X1000 series graphics cards are now available, as are CrossFire motherboards and video cards. ATI still needs to deliver a few missing pieces in order to catch up with its rival NVIDIA, and that's what we have gathered here today."

(12/05) MSI GEFORCE 7800 GTX 512MB REVIEW BY PC STATS - "The GeForce 7800GTX 512MB versions are here, and you'd better believe that 35 FPS from a single videocard in FEAR with 4x AA and 16x AF enabled, at 1600x1200, is a breeze with one of these bad boys! All this performance packed into a videocard that takes up an extra PCI slot, but is also quieter than the original GeForce 7800GTX's. Shocking performance capabilities, and shockingly quiet at that."

(12/05) DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR REVIEW BY PC STATS - "The DFI LANPartyUT NF4 SLI-DR Expert is based on the nvidia nForce4 SLI chipset. It supports all Socket 939 AMD Athlon64/FX/X2 processors on the market, and is geared for gaming performance. The four DIMM slots can be equipped with up to 4GB of the fastest dual channel DDR memory, just as you might expect."

(12/05) MSI GEFORCE 7800 GT REVIEW BY NV NEWS - "The NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series of Graphics Processing Units (GPU) have been a big hit in the enthusiast gaming community. Today, we check out MSI's NX7800GT-VT2D256E graphics card, which is based on the GeForce 7800 GT Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We previewed the reference GeForce 7800 GTX and GeForce 7800 GT models earlier, but this article examines performance of the MSI NX7800GT in recent game titles, some of which are pushing the graphics envelope further than they were a few months ago."

(12/05) DFI RDX200 XPRESS 200 CROSSFIRE REVIEW BY TECH REPORT - "THE MARKET FOR HIGH-END, enthusiast-oriented motherboards is presently dominated by NVIDIA chipsets. With few exceptions, the nForce4 has run the table for nearly a year, but that might be about to change. The recently announced Radeon Xpress 200 CrossFire chipset is finally poised to offer an alternative to SLI, and several mobo makers are lining up with boards based on the ATI's new core logic."

(12/05) GIGABYTE K8N51PVMT-9 REVIEW BY AMDZONE - "Starting with nForce 430 and GeForce 6150 gives Gigabyte the best integrated video chipset solution to start with. We like that they include 4 memory slots, and that also a 1X PCI E slot is included. Having 8 channel audio and Gigabit Ethernet is a must for a good multimedia box, and Firewire is a definite bonus when transferring files from video cameras or external hard drives. We really like the SATA cable port brackets that should keep any breakage off the board from occurring. The included utilities and software could also come in handy. We certainly are happy to see the component video output which we tested on our LCD TV."
