We learned that ATI's highly anticipated next GPU will consume up to an incredible 250 W to work. No wonder we reported on many occasions that the chip will be one of the hottest ever.

We got a mixture of MSI and DFI nForce 500 series Socket AM2 boards. We put them together to find out the differences.

How much impact is there to SLI and CrossFire performance when the cards communicate over PCIe rather than dedicated links? We have some fun with high-end dongle-less and bridgeless multi-GPU rendering in an effort to find out. Our discoveries are quite interesting.

Our bro's over at HardwareOC have just got back from the hungarian mod-tech Hall 2006 exhibition ! you got to check out the Star wars TIE fighter Mod? and one of the overclockers Hit 4,0 GHz with Intel's Core Duo E6300.

Interested in a graphics upgrade for Battlefield 2142 but you have less than $200 to spend? If so, you may want to check out this article. We've got both single-card and SLI benchmarks for NVIDIA's mainstream offerings ranging from the GeForce 6600 GT up to the recently released 7900 GS. See how the various cards perform in today's article!

Available this holiday season in the United States, Zune includes a 30GB digital media player, the Zune Marketplace music service and a foundation for an online community that will enable music fans to discover new music. The Zune device features wireless technology, a built-in FM tuner and a bright, 3-inch screen that allows users to not only show off music, pictures and video, but also to customize the experience with personal pictures or themes to truly make the device their own. Zune comes in three colors: black, brown and white.

NVIDIA's fall refresh continues with the GeForce 7950 GT. The card features 24 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders, as well as 512MB of memory.

ATI and NVIDIA no longer only accelerate games as video is now also one of their objectives. And if that wasn?t enough, they decided to improve the quality of the images. The last generation of graphic cards now compensates one of the major downside of these monitors: the twinkling effect in movies!

We run our benchmark suite across the entire line of Intel Core 2 Duo and AMD AM2 CPUs, from the budget priced products to the ultra-high end. Which CPU is right for you? Check out our massive roundup and find out.

Ok, so we heard the Intel C19 Board from DFI has been cancelled while we have just finished our preview of it, based on a beta BIOS. I liked the board in comparison to the rest of the C19 boards, but the raw BIOS is headache for me.

Kinc of Nordic Hardware has put up a benchmark monster setup, consisting of a Cascade Cooled Intel Core 2 Duo X6800 running at 4.7GHz, and an ATi X1950XTX Master Card bundled with a X1900XTX running in CrossFire mode. The most impressive thing is that both cards are running different clockspeeds and the X1950XTX Master Card was just watercooled.

wtfdc over at XtremeSystems Forums has thrown up some benchies for Intel's CloverTown running at 2.66 Ghz, utlizing an effective 8 cores on a single setup.

Looking at an NVIDIA gaming GPU but can't decide on the GeForce Go 7900 GTX or the GS? We pit two similarly configured Dell XPS M1710 laptops against each other to test everything from performance to power consumption to see which GPU you should get.

Apple has announced the latest and greatest IPOD yesterday, an "improved" IPOD Video. Too bad many won't find it all that great.. Head over to Engadget for the full scoop.

Intel will walk all over AMD with its upcoming Core 2 Quadro processor. Its 8 MB L2 Cache and aggressive clock speeds will boost performance by up to 100%. Our benchmarks tell the story.

In this roundup we compare a mixture of DDR-2 memory to work out which offers the best overclocking performance.

Which CPU runs Battlefield 2142 faster, AMD or Intel? Does a larger L2 cache really play a huge role in performance, or is it minor? We've rounded up the latest CPUs from AMD and Intel to answer these questions. See the results inside!

I don?t know what to call this. Would it be a Tablet, a notebook or a full blown desktop? So, Toshiba is feeling Nintendo?s design apparently with this PDA + e-Book device. Toshiba is calling it a Dual Display PDA (e-Book) with SD Memory Card.

NordicHardware has posted one of the first reviews of the Abit AW9D-MAX motherboard. A board designed for overclockers and tested as such. The board displays some excellent performance and it truly a credit to Abit's good work.

Behardware.com has tested the two inkjet printers, compared their results to the previous generation of products, to other manufacturers Samsung, Epson, Sagem, Lexmark and even filmed some of the tests. Many things are improved starting with the price, speed, and cost per photo, however, some of the marketing arguments proved to be very bold, even too bold (HP's video of ink resistance to water is pretty funny!).
