Dual GPU card reviewed

The ears of Richard Williams, the reviewer, have suffered a bit. But if you are not so fussy as reviewers usually are, and can cope with low volumes - if you live in a small room for example, then read over here

OCworkbench has a world first. It is reviewing a Gigabyte GV-3D1 Dual GPU card featuring two 6600GT. The son of ARM - ATI Rage Maxx, as it is called, perform wonders but apparently compatibility is still problematic. The technology is still in its infancy and improvements through drivers for example. Have a look at it here

. 01net reviews five mediadrives, what those French reviewers call dischargers. Yet another gadget that came along with the rise of digital cameras. Again some names will be familiar to you. Read it here

. From Italia comes a review of the Aopen iGME-mLFS Pentium-M motherboard bundle. The review pays particular attention to overclocking performance and uses a series of benchmarks including OpenGL ones. If you don't understand italian, use Google's translator to do the task.

Anandtech also pays a tribute to the Pentium M CPU but tests it specifically on a Linux platform. Results as you will see will vary to some extent but they will be helpful if you plan to use that baby to build a cool powerful rig.

Still in the domain of coolness, Hexus reviews the latest VIA Epia MII. MII or M2 for those who still remember it, was a denomination/core associated with Cyrix. Andy Hanley drools over the capabilities of that tiny platform.

VR-Zone reviews the ECT Mach 2GT cooling unit. If you are one of those happy few who have the means to buy one of those lovely units or if you want to have the fastest computer in your country, then head over http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=1556&s=1.

Sudhian reviewed the Pentium M motherboard from DFI that we mentioned a day or two. More importantly, it benchmarks the Dothan against Athlon 64s and Prescotts, and concludes it is no slouch. The Dothan is "fast, overclockable and capable of going toe to toe against Prescott," the site reckons. That's here, in multiple parts.

Extremetech has a look at one inexpensive 50-inch HDTV screen, from Olevia/Syntax, which sells for less than $2000, that's less than £1100 by the way. They are not that much happy with the result though even if it has a pretty good overall image quality. µ
