Back in 2005, however, we were on the lookout for high powered PSUs and thanks to a Japanese manufacturer, we even saw 900W power supplies enter the Japanese market, which further led the community to believe that high powered PSUs were right around the corner.

DDR2 Expected to Take off with AMD's M2 Socket
According to memory makers, DDR2 is steadily growing and the transition from DDR to DDR2 is rather smooth as well, but in order for DDR2 to really take off, at least in the enthusiast market, AMD would have to be a key supporter.

ATI?s R580 Versus Nvidia?s G71
ATI thinks that the number of pixel operations per clock is more important than the pixel number itself. Nvidia disagrees. It believes in a totally different ratio. With the birth of the R580, ATI sends the message that you should have three to one ratio as R580 has 48 Shaders and 16 pixel pipelines.
