ATI?s newest, high end board in their flagship line of multimedia boards, the All-In-Wonder X800 XT, has been heard of for some time but only seen fairly recently. Whilst the All-In-Wonder hasn?t stood still in terms of features, neither has the rest of ATI?s businesses here we?re taking a look at the new board to see what new functionality it offers over the previous generation.
PNY?s nVidia QuadroFX 4400 512 MB with SLI @ GamePC
The QuadroFX 4400 512 MB card has just hit the market, right as nVidia's GeForce 6800 512 MB cards (which are based on the exact same design, funny that) are hitting store shelves as well. We've got the remarkable opportunity to test our two of these QuadroFX 4400 512 MB cards, not only in single card configuration, but in a dual-card SLI configuration as well. Curious how 512 MB of video memory affects games and applications? Curious to see if SLI helps workstation applications? Curious to see what a full SLI system with 1 GB of combined graphics memory is capable of? Us too. Let's continue.
Sunbeam 20 in 1 Superior Panel Review at 3DXtreme
It seams everybody is wanting to do more and more with their PC these days. We have ultra fast systems that put out lots of heat, so we want to keep them cool. We have digital cameras and other devices that use all kinds of media cards, not to mention those that use USB, Firewire or even SATA connections. To fulfill these needs companies have come up with fan controllers, I/O panels, card readers, and temperature displaying LCD screens. But what about the limited amount of real estate on the front of your case? If you have all these items and a standard mid-tower case, there?s no room left for your drives. How are you supposed to make that work? That?s where Sunbeam comes in.
HIS X850XT and X800XL Graphics Cards ? iTURBO is back again
HIS are back in the labs again this month with their latest generation of cards, the PCI Express versions of the ATI Radeon X850XT and X800XL. Both cards are part of the HIS IceQ II series which claim (and do) to offer better cooling than ATI reference cards as well as not exceeding 20db in the noise department. Both cards support iTURBO and the X850XT version even has a standard iTURBO overclocked setting which matches the clock speeds of the more expensive X850XT PE. That means you?ll get the performance of the ultra high-end X850XT PE for the price of the high-end X850XT. Read on as TweakTown take a close look at both cards!

Patriot introduces a new memory rated at both DDR400 and DDR533. The question, of course, is how the Patriot performs compared to other TCCD-based memory. It has the right stuff in its design, but does it deliver in the all-important performance arena?

D-Link DGL-4300 Wireless Router Review @ FiringSquad
Do you share your internet connection with a bandwidth hog at home and it's affecting your ping times while gaming? If so, D-Link's DGL-4300 router may just be the solution for you.

Thermalright SI-97 CPU Cooler Review at 3DXtreme
Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of testing the latest Socket A heatsink from Thermalright, the SI-97. Although A64 and Pentium 4 users have been given the opportunity to use the XP-120 and XP-90, the users of the older Socket A platform have not been able to share in their good fortune. Thermalright would not forget, and soon they produced the SI-97, an even lighter version of the XP ?Light and Easy? series of heatsinks.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Review @ Tweaknews.net
For $70 USD you can pick this little gem up and it is well worth it. The practical applications of a wireless desktop set are endless and to have it work as well as a wired set is even greater. If you are restricted to where you can place your tower because of input cord lengths, or are just sick of having wires tangled all over the place, than this set is for you.

SilverStone TJ05 *2005 Revision* Review
OCIA.net has posted a 7-page review on the SilverStone TJ05 *2005 Revision*. Below is a direct quote from the review:
Finally, someone listened to the cries of enthusiasts and got rid of the horrible rear stamped grill. A free-flowing design offers much better airflow and lower overall noise. The rest of the backside looks pretty standard, except for the button-switch near the middle-right side of the rear.

NVIDIA's nForce4 SLI Intel Edition chipset @ TechReport

The nForce4 has not been without its growing pains, but it still dominates the enthusiast motherboard scene for the Athlon 64. Is the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition good enough to stand toe to toe with Intel's 925XE? We're about to find out.
