Just got word that Hexus Tarinder Sandhu has posted his day out with AMD's Athlon XP1700 JIUHB CPU! and by the end of the day she was screaming for mercy! Here's a snip.

The idea of getting something for nothing is the enthusiasts' motto. The something, in this case, is an extra 800Hz+ with minimal voltage increase on all fronts. There's no denying the satisfaction one feels by running a sub-£50 CPU at speeds faster than any officially released AMD Athlon XP. Further, pairing it up with select nForce2 motherboards allows you to fully exploit the performance potential of any XP1700 JIUHB.

Just got word from Darkcrow.co.kr that they have snagged a few photo's of the Radeon 9800 Pro and Radeon 9200 graphics cards from: PowerColor - GiGACUBE - GIGABYTE - Info-Tek - FIC - TYAN. Now what beauty do you want? You can also check out what Hercules is offering here. My personal favourite...

Here's a piece of news from Anton Shilov at Xbitlabs that should have you Nvidia fans jumping for joy!
