MAKER OF motherboards and bits, Gigabyte has just released new motherboards for gamers with a Nvidia Nforce 600 chipset under the bonnet.

The GA-N680SLI-DQ6 and GA-N650SLI-DS4 motherboards use the newly released Nvidia Nforce 600 Series chipsets and support for Intel's Core2 Quad processors.

According a press release, the board has been designed for those who like the idea of extreme overclocking and high-definition gaming performance.

By incorporating the Nvidia Nforce 680i SLI MCP chipset, Gigabyte claims the motherboards can provide dual PCI Express x16 connectivity.

This means smoother 3D video rendering and better frame rates, the outfit claims. The board will hit the shops in late December. There is no word on price yet. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
