This guy got a 6800 Ultra yesterday, and overclocked the memory to 1.3GHz on stock cooling! Default memory clock speed is 1.1GHz And the card is still ready for more. Check it out here:

AnandTech reports that at Computex we saw at least two Intel 9xx based motherboards that featured an AGP slot, contrary to Intel's claims of no AGP support in their 9xx chipset line. Did Intel lie or are motherboard manufacturers guilty of creative engineering? Read on to find out...

Naser @ tbreak forums have posted some pics of the MSI NX6800 Ultra, benchmarks coming soon...

"I only got time today to actually try it out & my first impression is its NOISY & the drivers on Nvidia site (56.72) does NOT support this card. I am sure it is faster then my 9800XT BUT will the performance diffrence reallly justify its price!? well i doubt it but theres only one way to find out.And im seriously more into games then benching. Farcry was awsome but even on my FX51+1GB Ram & the 9800XT (450/390) still runs like crap."

X800 XT $434 at Gateway NOW and a couple of people have already ordered 'em!

If you hadn't noticed from the vast flurries of Press Releases, Taiwan?s Computex is underway and everyone is keen to show off their latest technology goods. High up in the PR volume stakes was ATI, with their announcements of their PCI Express graphics products from the Desktop, Mobile and Workstation graphics groups. With three new native PCI Express graphics chips, not less than 10 different reference graphics solutions have been announced. In a short article Beyond3D takes a look at these new ATI products and what they offer.

Since the new Intel CPU didn´t prove to be faster then the P4 Northwood clock for clock, maybe it can beat it when it comes down to overclocking? Time to find out, as the Madshrimps push a 3Ghz Prescott to its limits using Air and Phase Change Cooling.

What makes this drive so special to any other current DVD writer on the market is that it can write too dual layer discs as well as single layer discs, what's this I heard you ask; well basically a single layer disc is 4.7GB, a dual layer disc is 8.5GB (also known as DVD+R9), this is a similar idea to the current single layer double sided DVDRs on the market but with out the need to actually flip the disc over to write data on the other side. The writing is done on the underside on the new dual layer (DL) DVD as with normal single layer DVDRs, so still it leaves a protected surface on top.

Madshrimps takes a look at a Japanese engineered 3-in-1 CPU cooler, it has support for all popular sockets out there (754,940,939,370,478,462), features easy installation and a speed adjustable fan. Let´s find out how it stacks up against other popular heatsinks

Thermaltake has launched the industry's first Power Supply Watt Viewer. TWV is a 5.25" Bay Drive Display Panel that allows the users to see exactly how much power is being delivered to your computer system.

AnandTech have thrown up their Computex 2004 coverage with the first ever pictures and information on NVIDIA's NV45, including current clock speed information. Intel's PCI Express chipsets are all over the show, as are a number of other neat looking things that will find their way into your PC in the coming months. They also spy the first BTX motherboards. What are you waiting for?

This year's main focus was on 64-bit computing, Athlon 64 and Opteron processors, which were recently announced. There were also a lot of anti-Intel talk during the keynotes by special guests, which was expected but amazing to see how professionalism quickly disappeared in the room.

OCIA.net checks out the Foxconn 865M01-G-6LS mATX Motherboard in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review:

"First, I like how all of the cables coming off of this board will be to one side, the front. The Floppy, ATX Power, both IDE, and even the PWR/RST/SPKR cables will all run right off the front of the board without covering up other components. The AGP slot also features an AGP retention clip. While almost all AGP cards are designed for this, most manufacturers leave it off of the motherboard. Also, even though this is a small form factor, Foxconn still managed to squeeze in three PCI slots."
