Ice Teks ::
Whether or not the card is worth considering over a RadeonX1950 Prodepends on what games you’re playing and your personal preferences forATI and Nvidia hardware and / or software.

At just over £100 including VAT though, theInno3D GeForce 7900 GS iChiLL is a great buy if you’re gaming at1280x1024 and aren’t too worried about DirectX 10 support for the timebeing.

Asus Commando [March 06th 2007]

In all the Commando is a well priced and solid motherboard withfantastic overclocking potential.Even if it doesn’t provide everything you’d ever wish for fromoverclocking, the board’s fantastic stability will more than make upfor it.

If you’re looking for a solid and very overclockable board, but don’trequire multi GPU support, you can’t go far wrong with the AsusCommando.

Usually I would say that this isn’t very interestinginformation, but since this is a first of its kind chipset combination,pairing the north bridge of the 650i chipset with the south bridge of the570 SLI chipset, that kind of performance and reliability is a great victoryfor Asus.
