One of my general annoyances with ATI is with their reluctance to have a default design structure with twin DVI ports, commonplace with the top of the range Nvidia 6800's. The R3xx and R4xx chips have a VGA, DVO (digital video out) and a TMDS out (DVI, single TMDS). To get dual DVI you need to get a DVO - TMDS convertor chip, ATI currently do this on their high end Firegl boards but to keep costs down on their boards they dont use the extra chip.

The AX800XT goes all the way and includes this additional chip for dual DVI, those of you on dual TFT will appreciate this extra as the video signal out from a standard VGA gives inferior overall image quality.

OCWorkbench has posted a review of the XGI Volari V8 versus a S3 Deltachrome S8, along with Radeon 9550 and GeforceFX 5700LE results.

The Volari V8 certainly proved to be a very interesting piece of hardware.

Its performance seems to match the Radeon 9600/9600 Pro too.

GamePC have thrown up their review of Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005! Here's a snip.

Windows XP Media Center Edition was originally launched roughly two years ago, and was the first variant of XP designed to be run on home theater systems and to be controlled via remote. The OS itself was based upon Windows XP core, but ran Microsoft's Media Center application on top of the operating system, which was custom built to playback and record TV, movies, music, and videos. Since Microsoft was in complete control of the OS, the application, and the remote control hardware which was used, XP Media Center Edition had a higher level of integration and smoothness compared to other media center type applications.

Overclockers Club has posted an exclusive review of the new Razer Diamondback mouse which offers a 1600 dpi optical sensor, 7 physical buttons which can be independently programmed, 16-bit data path, and on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. The Diamondback is available in two colors, chameleon green and translucent flaming Magma/salamander red. As the name suggests, the chameleon green changes colors when you look at it from different angles which makes it look like a deathly predator!

Today 3DXtreme has the great pleasure of reviewing a video cooling solution by Arctic-Cooling for the nVidia 6800 series GPU, the NV5 Silencer. With current GPU transistor counts exceeding that of even the latest CPU?s on the market it?s not surprising that the latest video cards would require a cooling solution to rival a CPU cooler. Also, factor in the added heat from the DDR3 memory on the video card and this becomes even more apparent. Let?s find out if this cooler can outperform the less bulky, stock cooler from an EVGA 6800GT.
