8800Ultra overclocks nicely with watercooling

TECHREPORT DUG into the world of Geforce 8600 graphics cards and posted a roundup of these boards that, finally, don't look like Siamese twins.

IT-Review.net overclocked an 8800 Ultra to get 13000 in 3DMark06. Bear in mind that the CPU these guys used was your regular E6700, and not a dual-core or quad-core processor, where the result would have improved by a notch or two. Impressive stuff anyway, especially the conclusion and the "Nvidia scrooged 8800Ultra" part. Second review of the day was OCZ's Flex XLC CAS3.

HardwareLogic tested Crucial's Ballistix PC2-8500 Tracer memory kit.

Bjorn3D tested OCZ's Trifecta. This is dual-SD (microSD/SD), USB 2.0 memory card that packs up to two gigs of storage.

One week after the launch of Radeon HD 2900XT graphics card. Sean's take is that the card delivers great performance, but has two serious shortcomings. Is it good enough? You can find that out here.

Penguins tested ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard, so the time has come for yet another review of the motherboard in alternate OS surroundings. Impressive effort can be read here. Staying in line with the penguins, Rob from TechGage reviewed NeroLinux3, which sole purpose is to burn CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-ray media and so on.

XSReviews tested Antec P182 case, another aluminium beast for those that want highest quality cases.

BIOSMagazine tested Netgear Prosafe DGFV338, a router that is a bit more than just another one in line.
