THE NEW AMD continues its mysterious marketing games. Once again it is set to rename an existing product rather than introduce a new one.

The RV 515 and RV516-based X1300 have been given a new name. From now on you will know these cards as X1550. This suggests that the card is not quite X1600 performance, but it ought to be better than the current X1300.

Well it's not. It is just a renamed product, which sounds better and looks good on the box. That's it. If you see one of these cards, beware, as you are buying X1300 generation of card.

The good news is that this card can run Aero glass, Vista's cool-looking interface. 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?
