After taking a look at PowerColor's Radeon X1650 PRO exactly a month ago, before boards were on retail shelves, Elite Bastards have now had a chance to look at Sapphire's take on this SKU with the hindsight of boards on retail shelves and confirmed retail pricing, as well as new drivers. Does it still best NVIDIA's GeForce 7600 GS?

Today we have a special graphics card in our labs. Believe us or not, but it?s an AGP card and it?s intended for all of those who still have a motherboard with an AGP port. Yes, I?m talking about the GeForce 7600GS AGP - Nvidia?s latest response to ATI?s RADEON X1600PRO AGP. This is the second card of the GeForce 7 family that is intended for the AGP market.

A few weeks ago, we reviewed the high end board from ASUS, the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe featuring the 975X chipset. Today, we take a look at its little brother the P5B Deluxe based on the 965P chipset.

Once again we have a new memory product from OCZ. It seems that these people never rest. I guess if they aren?t in the forums helping people that are in the labs cooking up some new products to satisfy our overclocking appetites. Well we were fortunate enough to be sent the latest creation from OCZ.

The Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 nForce 590 SLI motherboard is pretty swanky, check out how what we thought of this bad boy.

Just today Thermalright were friendly enough to send out their newest model in coolers, the Ultra-120. The Ultra falls into the same category as the very popular type of coolers known as towers types. They are both tall and fairly heavy and cool better than any previous cooler design of the past. Today we will see how the Ultra-120 stands up to our reigning champ, pitting it against the Scythe Infinity.

OCIA.net takes a look at the CoolerMaster Blue Ice Pro Chipset in their latest review.

The thin copper fins are skived, meaning they're actually sliced from the base during the manufacturing process. Because the fins are still attached at the bottom there is better heat transfer than if the fins were soldered. It appears that this heatsink has a missing fin at the far left, there is a ridge on the base as if there was once a fin there, and there is certainly room for one. The fan bracket also appears slightly bent.

Even if manufacturers often predict future price raises (with great aspirations), they actually continue to drop regularly. In September, it?s even worse. A new size of diagonal has showed up, the 22 inch, which will may make quite an impact because of its very aggressive price.

Team Group Xtreem overclocking memory is gaining a reputation as some of the most exciting and desirable high-end memory on the market today. Every careful step is taken to ensure that our end users can really push this memory to the extreme.

In today's article we've rounded up four different Core 2-ready motherboards from ASUS for review: the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe WiFi-AP, P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP, P5N32-SLI SE, and finally the P5NSLI.

OCIA.net takes a look at the OCZ 2 GB Dual SD Card in their latest review.

OCZ began to diversify their offerings in 2004 with the release of power supplies aimed specifically at gamers. Since that point, OCZ has continued to expand their horizons, now offering cooling solutions to go along with their already wide array of products. Today we will be taking a look at yet another one of their new innovative products in the 2 GB Secure Digital Dual Memory Card.

If Kentsfield didn't impress you, we managed to get our hands on something that will. Dubbed Clovertown, Intel's new addition to it's Server CPU lineup will be marketed as a Xeon. Featurng 4 physical cores and based on the Core 2 architecture, you'd probably be thinking what differentiates this from (boring?) old Kentsfield. Well for starts, it utilises the LGA 771 socket rather than the well known LGA 775 socket, so you can't give it a home in your gaming rig. OK, we admit that that's not the most interesting feature, so we'll tell you - Whilst Kentsfield CPUs will run in more or less all Core 2 Duo supporting motherboards, you can couple two Clovertown processors and create an incredible octal-core monster!!

We recently reviewed the Thermaltake Mozart TX case and mentioned that you can add a Thermaltake 7" LCD screen to it. Today we have this display which comes with an integrated touch screen. The device is connected to the video card via VGA cable and can display resolutions from 640x480 up to 1280x760 (and sometimes higher, depending on settings).

Elite Bastards take a look at a Radeon X1300 XT-based graphics board, but with a whole load of extra 'zing' on top, in the form of Sapphire's Radeon X1300 XT Overclock Edition. This part makes full use of ATI's recent relaxation of the rules with regard to AIB partners factory overclocking their boards, with impressive results.

Looking for a new heatsink/fan unit to go along with your new AM2 Athlon 64 CPU purchase? If so, you may be interested in today's review of the Zalman CNPS9500AM2.

Today we're taking a closer look at NVIDIA's 7900 GS with a mini-roundup from five manufacturers: Albatron, BFG, EVGA, Leadtek and XFX.

One of the most overlooked components of a modern day PC has to be what I like to refer to as 'The Engine Room'! While most low end systems seem to chug happily along with a no-name PSU , we find that with every increasing demand for the ultimate graphics and game play experience, most systems are falling over at the first hurdle.

So, is the Mozart Tx "The Ideal Home Entertainment Center"? It easily could be. It could also be so much more. With an impressive feature set and an even more impressive list of available options, the Thermaltake has a real winner on their hands. Priced at around $250 US, the Mozart Tx ain't cheap, but considering what it delivers and its potential, I'd consider it a good value.

Elite Bastards take a look at BFG's factory overclocked GeForce 7800 GS OC. Is it worth the cash outlay as we head towards what will doubtless be the death knell for AGP?

Today we have a World Exclusive review of the brand new XFX GeForce 7950GT 512MB Extreme graphics card. Check it out!
