PC Perspective have thrown up their preview of ATi's Mobility X800 and X300 GPUs!

ATI is announcing a new mobility GPU based on the X800 technology and one based on the X300 technology. We go over the basics of what has changed in this PCI Express-based mobile chip.

Finaly we've got an official distributor of GeCube's products here in Bulgaria... The name GeCube usually is associated with nice Radeon based videocards that have quite good OC potentian and just a few days after the cards were available the 9550 series turned to be a great budget card with very nice performance/price ratio.

Here's the first tech demo for ATi's Radeon X850 using a modified Farcry engine and PS2.0b.

The official launch of Nvidia's SLI graphics technology is almost upon us. Possibly the biggest event for PC Hardware this year, Nvidia have sparked tremendous interest. Today, Hexus.net have an introduction to the technology, including the two modes in which SLI runs (alternate-frame and split-frame rendering,) how the system is physically setup, including the inter-gpu link and what happens if you remove it mid-game! Benchmarks in Far Cry , Doom III and Half-Life 2 are also included, in what is the first part of Hexus' SLI coverage.

Fido over at The Inquirer has snagged the latest Info on ATi's Radeon X850!

BEFORE ATI briefs the press tomorrow under non disclosure agreement, and in Munich, we'd like to share all we know about the R480.

PC Perspective reports You heard it here first, guys! I just learned that NVIDIA and Intel have inked a deal to allow NVIDIA to develop chipsets for the Intel platforms. Here's what I can tell you so far, based on the info in the press release and other information I was given. First, this is a broad cross-license, which means we will be seeing multiple chipsets from NVIDIA's nForce line for Intel's platforms, probably including the high-end markets as well as the integrated graphics market. *Edit* Here is a statement we got on the subject of segments for this new license:

ExtremeTech takes a look at Creative's Audigy 4 Pro!

Four is the new three. Or at least that's what Creative's model numbering system would have us believe. The company went from the Audigy 2 to the Audigy 2 ZS, and then went straight to its new Audigy 4. We've generally been impressed with the Audigy 2 series of sound cards, and Creative still has the most feature-complete line of consumer sound cards in the business.

We have set our focus on piecing together ? not an unattainable dream machine ? but a believably beefy box perfect for fast-paced gaming and multimedia.

Socket 754 ? 939 ? 130nm and 90nm fabrication process? This test is for those who are lost in AMD?s line of products. Here is a comparative test of 16 processors including 12 Athlon 64s. The P-Rating is sometimes just the tip of the iceberg.

We are happy to announce that Vaja has launched the first case especially made for notebooks!

Slowly but surely the new top end PCI Express Professional application cards are hitting the shelf?s now from the major manufacturers. Today we see an exclusive sneak preview of the ATI Fire GL V7100. This is a very new card to cover and summarise and we have to clearly state a pre-release unit. So what has the card got to offer then as we move swiftly onwards to brief specifications and a few pictures!

TrustedReviews has managed to get hold of a M28 and a GeForce Go 6800 laptop and has thrown up some comparative numbers! Although the M28 is yet to be officially announced, ATI is more than happy to show off the benchmark numbers, as long as no mention about the technology in the chipset is mentioned.

Cheaper 939-pin Athlon 64 CPUs are hitting the market and Newegg sent us a sample to try out. It looks as though the Athlon 64 just got an enthusiast shot in the arm.

Half Life 2 is nearly here (well, some people have jumped the gun a little) and Alienware have announced a killer system for your HL2 gaming pleasure. Check it out here.

There's been some confusion over whether Abit's CPU Accelerator is merely a fancy name for support for a 1066MHz front-side bus or Abit has found a way to change the Pentium 4's otherwise-locked multiplier. According to Abit, multiplier trickery is involved, but only for Pentium 4 540 3.4GHz and 560 3.6GHz processors.

Ever fancied having a close up look at a supercomputer? Hexus.net got the rare opportunity to do this, with a tour of Armari Systems Integrator's offices. You need to see it for yourself to appreciate the giant gold T90, and the mass of wires that is the T3D.

After getting whipped by AMD Opteron's performance specs during the past few months, a crop of Intel Xeon mobos offers possibilities that AMD doesn't. Will seven Socket 604 motherboards with features like SATA-II, PCI Express and DDR2 help Intel get its Xeon off the ropes?

According to GamesIndustry ATi's R500 parts headed for development kits, just in time for public unveiling on January 5th? The R500 is similar in many ways to the R520 graphics part which will power ATI's next generation PC graphics boards, and while exactly specifications aren't currently available for the part, it's known to be based on Shader Model 3.0, like NVIDIA's current high-end GeForce 6800 cards.
