Meet the Radeon HD

DAAMIT drops the X factor

WE HAVE CONFIRMATION of AMD's final naming convention for the R600. And the top end card is now the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT.

The new series of cards, including the 2600, will drop the 'X' that has accompanied the model number since the X800, and harks back to the heady days of the Radeon 9700 series.

The HD has been added to the name to indicate the card's ability to process video and audio through HDMI outputs and onboard sound chips.

The HD 2900 XT will support a massive 24x anti-aliasing, we're led to believe. Can anyone seriously tell the difference between this and the 8800's 16x? Will you need a projection screen 60-inch wide to see the difference? 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?
