X800XL reviews pop up, finally

GAME PC had the Silverstone LC11S some weeks back in its labs and they were apparently ecstatic over that desktop casing - yep desktop. Brushed aluminium and superb look. See for yourself here.

The Powercolor Radeon X800XL graphics card is put to the test at Firingsquad. It is compared to the 6800GT, the X850XT PE and the X800XT. The level of performance delivered by this card is simply stunning for the price. A+.

Flying Business Class for coach fare. This in a nutshell resumes the hardware test of the Winbook C240 at Hardwarecentral. With a Pentium M 725, 512MB memory and a large 60GB hard disk and a small price. It might just fit your bill.

Anandtech tests budget PC casings. For a change, peripherals being tested are not charged more than your pocket money. And there might even be some good surprises, especially from one old favorite.

One more motherboard review from hardwarezone, this time the Abit AG8 with the Intel 915P chipset, gets examined by Zachary Chan. Has the Fatal1ty aura trickled down to the other products? See here.

Puget Custom Computers sheds more light on one aspect of computing that gave rise to a number of arguments. Is SCSI really that much faster than SATA? SCSI and SATA proponents. Prepare to fight.

Yet another motherboard under the knives of PC Perspective and Jonathan Hung. The Chaintech Zenith V915P utilises the i915P chipset as are many mid range chipsets. But this one uses DDR instead of the usual DDR2.

Finally, two more ATI cards are on review here. Tweaktown has a look at the Gecube X800XL and the X850XT graphic cards. Like for Firingsquad above, tweaktown find that that the cards are real winners. µ
