Mon Nov 13 2006, 09:47
IN CASE THE GeForce 8800 series doesn't float your boat or if it's a little out of your price range, WCCFtech has reviewed the ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB Graphics Card. This card supports ATI's new internal Crossfire setup and, at around $200, certainly seems to give you a lot for your money.

MadShrimps has brought us the Scythe Infinity CPU Cooler Review, a tower based CPU cooler with more aluminium fins that all the Jaws movies combined. The cooler certainly seems to do the job. Make sure you check out the 'Ask a Ninja' clip in the conclusion.

BIOS magazine brings us the UK exclusive review of the Netgear EVA700. Also known as the Digital Entertainer, this bit of kit allows you to stream digital media from all your network devices to your TV. As long you can get set up to work properly.

SysOpt has been looking at the Core 2 Duo board for those on a budget, namely the Elitegroup P965T-A. Probably not the first choice for overclockers, this sub-$100 does allow for dual graphics cards making it an attractive option for gamers on a shoestring.

If you've been thinking of trying to squeeze a bit more performance from your notebook then check out the review of the Dell PC2100 SODIMM 512MB CL2,5 from RBmods. As one of the few things you can actually upgrade in most laptops, this looks like a good choice.

So, you've decided you want a new GeForce 8800 graphics card. You've scrimped and saved and you're ready to make your purchase. The question now becomes, do you get the GTX or the GTS version? Tweaktown has brought us the XFX GeForce 8800 Graphics Cards - GTS & GTX Compared to help answer that question. It seems as though you get what you pay for in this instance, so if you're gaming in super high resolutions it may be worth your while to spring for the big daddy GTX.

Virtual-Hideout has reviewed the VIZO Voyager, Orbiter & Propeller Cooling Fans. These fans look like the do trick at cooling you graphics cards and hard drives and they have a blue glow, so you know they're cool. ยต
