Gigabyte is making a lot of noise at the moment with their new range of wireless networking equipment. Their new range has just made it into Australia and we've taken a look at their new goods. They sent us a wireless desktop router, wireless access point capable of A/B/G standards and a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter which uses the PCI Express bus for optimal speeds. We?re feeling all networky, so read on and learn more about the new products from Gigabyte.

A certain US-shop offered for a short time the retail version of a GeForce 7800GTX for US$ 649. There was also a fact sheet for the card which I could save before the page was taken down!

The Chinese website HKEPC Hardware have thrown up some benchmarks for ATi's Radeon X550 DDR2 + Heatpipe GPU and they also tell us they have the first picture of Intel's Yonah Dual Core Pentium M CPU for Apple's x86 platform.

With Intel's integrated graphics offerings continuing to dominate the graphics market, both ATI and NVIDIA have unveiled newer DX9 value cards that hit price points that were previously unheard of -- just $50! In this article Paul takes a look at two different GeForce 6200 TC cards, as well as ATI's equivalent offering, the RADEON X300 SE, pairing them against Intel's latest integrated offering found in the 945G chipset. See how the four graphics chips stack up in a variety of games and benchmarks in our latest article!

Have a real terrible looking computercase? Would you like a chance to win great prizes ?? Put those 2 criteria together and what do you get??

Xtreme Resources and NZXT would like to introduce you to the "Pimp my case" Contest. Participants are required to post their heinous looking case with a note denoting the case picture was taken for the purpose of entering the contest as proof of ownership of said case. Stories in the post of why you have a terrible looking case are encouraged and may help the final voting outcome.

EA's tactical combat-inspired opus, as well as employing some impressive rendering technology, pumps just about every dial there is to 'insane', with accurate texturing, complex level geometry, life-like detail on every single model, and shader technology everywhere, for a combination that makes no compromise on graphical quality - it will take mainstream machines a while to catch up to this game, and it's just as well, because it the lifespan of its predecessor is anything to go by, it's going to be around for a fair bit. The Contenders: GeForce 5200, GeForce 6200, GeForce 6800, Radeon 9800, Radeon X700LE, Radeon x800xl and the Radeon x850xt pe!

ASUS Computer International (ASUS), a leading provider of high-performance notebook computers, introduces the V6V notebook. Available in Canada, the US, and Europe, the ASUS V6V notebook?s carbon fiber composite chassis is lightweight, durable, and sophisticated with its sleek, brushed gunmetal colored surface. The result: a fusion of form and function that won the prestigious iF Design Award. The V6V notebook includes the latest personal computing technologies such as DDR II memory, ATI 3D graphics processor and Bluetooth? wireless connectivity to offer robust computing capability and wireless freedom. The V6Vnotebook has a Zero Bright Dot (ZBD) LCD panel with an ATI Mobility? Radeon? X600graphics processor that guarantees total satisfaction with notebook display performance. The V6V notebook innovates by positioning powerful speakers in the notebook? s palm rest to deliver loud and clear sound quality.

Time for a special treat. We recently had the chance to look around ASUSTeK's new R&D lab in at their new HQ. Of course, their up-coming products are tested there, which at the time we visited were their dual GPU cards. We've got plenty of pics for you, along with benchmarks of both the dual 6800GT and dual 6800Ultra versions!

Well if you are wondering what FX57 performance will be like then you should check out my performance preview here. We take the FX55 San Diego core, and test it at 2.8GHz and 3.0GHz so in effect it could also be a preview of FX59 performance if that part ever comes available. We topped out at just over 3.1GHz for overclocking with the Thermalright XP-90C. Enjoy.

It will have eight vertex shader units and will be able to process 24 pixels per clock. Nvidia claims that it has 24 pipelines. Some senior editors are referring to this chip as NV47 as it's nothing more than the NV47 was supposed to be, an NV40 with more pipelines and two more vertex shaders.

There?s no doubt that Logitech is one of the pioneers when it comes to peripherals such as keyboards, mice, joysticks and other key components for personal computers. It?s almost as if the company has perfected the art of designing peripherals that are nearly faultless in every way.

The Chinese website HKEPC Hardware have thrown up some benchmarks for ATi's CrossFire vs Nvidia's SLI!

Here's the System Spec's.

VR-Zone has taken a close look at 3 nForce 4 SLI Intel Edition boards out there in the market from EPoX, ASUS and MSI. We will touch on the board features, price, performance and overclocking potential to give you a better understanding.

All of the big names in motherboards and graphics cards are present, as are the smaller ones?not to mention the obscure and the start-ups. Also visible everywhere is the presence of these companies' chip suppliers, including larger North American semiconductor firms like Intel, AMD, ATI, and NVIDIA. A line of Asian women dressed up as ATI's Ruby snakes between the convention center halls on motorcycles while a competing pack of NVIDIA-themed pixies hands out leaflets beckoning showgoers to a partner's booth. It's unintentional comedy gold, and it's also the best place on earth to see the latest in computer hardware.

During Computex, we had the good fortune of meeting and grilling DFI's enginner - Jarry Chang on their latest Crossfire motherboard! Their new Crossfire motherboards boast, not only the ability to run two ATI graphics cards simultaneously, but also allows the user to do so WITHOUT the use of a signal-forwarding card.

VR-Zone have snagged AMD's latest Mobile CPUs Roadmap , Desktop CPUs Roadmap and the Opteron CPUs Roadmap.

We have heard enough of G70 on the desktop front so now let's shift our focus a little to the mobile front. VR-Zone has gotten some interesting news tidbits that the notebook makers are currently sampling the G70 Mobile GPUs. NVIDIA MXM has won the hearts of many notebook manufacturers therefore inevitably G7xM will be on MXM even the ATI's mobile GPUs as well. Well at least the MXM connector will be standardized but the layout and form factor might differ slightly from each ODM.
