NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX Graphics Card Review Posted!
Tech ARP :: Thursday, April 06, 2006
“The fastest from NVIDIA just got faster! Introducing the new GeForce 7900 GTX graphics card! Join us today as we put both the single GeForce 7900 GTX card as well as two cards in SLI to the test! ”

BFG 7600GT OC SLI and AeroCool ZeroDBA PSU
Neoseeker :: Thursday, April 06, 2006

“My first impressions of the BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC SLI have been very well received. I feel that this is an ideal product for the gamer on a mid-level budget, or a DIY-enthusiast that wants a video card with some kick to it that won’t turn his/her HTPC box into a nuclear reactor. The 7600 GT series cards were going for just under $200 USD on Pricewatch yesterday, which makes them an awesome bang-for-the-buck deal. With the Radeon X1600 XT going for slightly more than the 7600 GT (believe it or not!), while being a miserable slowpoke in comparison, this becomes a no-brainer if ~$200 is precisely your budget allocation.”

NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT Video Card Review
Legit Reviews :: Thursday, April 06, 2006

“As an enthusiast and overclocker I have to say that if you were planning to upgrade or building a new system I highly recommend looking long and hard at the 7900 GT. If you were thinking of spending within $75 of its asking price I would still look at the performance of this card and beg, steal, or borrow enough to purchase one. The added value that the 100MHz + overclock gives can’t be matched anywhere. A pair of these overclocked in SLI is an enthusiast’s dream of bang for the buck…”

Albatron K8SLI Motherboard Review
Hardware Secrets :: Wednesday, April 05, 2006
“K8SLI from Albatron is a socket 939 motherboard (i.e. targeted to Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2 and Opteron CPUs), based on nVidia nForce4 SLI chipset. Its main advantage is its price, lower than other SLI-based socket 939 motherboards available on the market. Does lower price mean lower quality and lower performance? We will check this out on our review.”

XFX 7900GT and 7600GT Video Cards Review
Overclockers New Zealand :: Wednesday, April 05, 2006

“Nvidia’s 7900GT is an excellent choice for the performance seekers, offering a new level of performance, which is faster than the Nvidia’s previous flagship card 7800GTX. This should not come as a surprise to anyone, as the 7900GT is essentially a higher clocked 7800GTX that is built on the advanced 0.09mm manufacturing process. The 7900GT offers an excellent performance/price ratio, with 80~90% of 7900GTX’s performance at 3/5 the price.”

Altec Lansing iM11 Portable Audio System
Think Computers :: Wednesday, April 05, 2006

Quote: “The beloved iPod, the most popular MP3 player ever. With the popularity there are tons of companies making accessories to cash in on the iPod’s success. Over the past years we have seen a lot of junk accessories. Only a few companies have been able to come out with good quality iPod accessories. Today we will look at the iM11 from Altec Lansing. Altec Lansing is known for making quality audio products, so let’s see how the iM11’s perform.”

Samsung HT-P50 Home Theatre System Review
The Tech Zone :: Wednesday, April 05, 2006

The Samsung HT-P50 Home Theatre System is one of Samsung’s many home-theatre-in-a-box (commonly referred to as HTiB) packages. It’s a higher end model in Samsung’s line-up, and provides you with the very best combination of features. For starters, the receiver has a 5-disc turntable changer that plays not only DVD, CD, and VCD, but also WMA, DivX , and most other MPEG4 compression schemes. The 5.1 speakers system produces a total of 1000W of pure audio power. This will ensure some wall shaking that your neighbors will love to hate.

MSI RX1600Pro-TD256E Video Card Review
Virtual-Hideout :: Wednesday, April 05, 2006

Quote: ATI is pushing the x1000 series of cards for its Shader capability, which is great, but doesn’t mention much about other kinds of games. As newer games are developed, the makers are saying that they will be more Shader dependent. Of course, that would lead us to believe that the x1000 series of cards are the way to go. Only time will answer that question.

EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GS CO SuperClock Review
MVK Tech :: Wednesday, April 05, 2006

“This year NVIDIA released in February an AGP version based upon the GeForce 7800 chip. Somehow the AGP market is still bigger then the PCI Express and therefore NVIDIA saw the need to kick out a new product to bring em at the top of the performance gain in the AGP world. By releasing the GeForce 7800 GS AGP based upon the GeForce 7 series released previously NVIDIA made sure they can deliver top notch performance and an attractive upgrade path for all AGP system owners. And with EVGA being a close partner of NVIDIA, we see the release of the e-GeForce 7800 GS CO SuperClock.”

MSI NX7300GS-TD256E Videocard Review
PCStats :: Tuesday, April 04, 2006
The extra memory on the MSI NX7300GS videocard did certainly help things, but if you’re in the market for a PCI Express videocard it’s well worth your while to understand the limitations of this GPU. It is affordable, it shows a marked improvement over the Geforce 6200TC, but it is still a mainstream PCI Express videocard.

Diamond Viper X800GTO
techPowerUp! :: Tuesday, April 04, 2006
With all the attention on the high ends cards being released most people overlook the bargain video cards that are already out by numerous OEM manufactures. It seems everyone is on the band wagon and this includes Diamond Multimedia. With the release of the GTO and GTO² series there are some goods deals to be had. We’ll be taking a look at Diamond’s Viper X800GTO PCI-E to see it’s no X1900 but would take the sting out of finally upgrading to PCI-E.

HIS X850XT iceQ II Turbo Review @ Techware Labs
Techwarelabs :: Tuesday, April 04, 2006
“ATI has sent TWL a Radeon X850 XT for review and without hesitation; we put it to the test. The HIS X850XT iceQ II Turbo Dual DVI 256MB PCIe is every impressive looking with its two slot design. The card is designed with a long list of features which left the reviews reading up on the advantages and testing out the tweaking tool to see what we can really get out of the card.”

AVerMedia AVerTVHD MCE A180 HDTV PCI TV Tuner
Big Bruin :: Tuesday, April 04, 2006

Quote: I am most pleased with the interface of the AVerTVHD MCE A180. It has a modern look, with well laid out controls that makes operation in Windows XP Pro easy and enjoyable. As compared to the interface of tuners from other manufacturers, I’d have to say the AVerTVHD MCE A180’s ranks at or near the top.

ATI Launches Crossfire Xpress 6400 Platform (4xCrossfire!)
The Tech Lounge :: Sunday, April 02, 2006

“After recent news of NVIDIA launching their 4xSLI platform, ATI now announced the launch of the Crossfire Xpress 6400. With an Xpress 6400 motherboard you will be able to purchase two master cards and two slave cards from the X1000 series to power a single display with FOUR video cards. While this may not exactly be the making of a mainstream computer system, you can bet green team isn’t happy about it.”

BFG Tech 7900GT 256MB Video Card
GideonTech :: Sunday, April 02, 2006
“Overall, I think this video card is worth purchasing if you are looking to upgrade or are moving to PCI-E. For a mid-high range card it holds well in FPS games and does well in RTS and MMORPGs as well. It stays cooler than the 6600GTs which it replaces, which idled around 50c, a temperature this one only reaches after a gaming session. Although I’d still like to see the card come with RAM heatsinks, I have not run across a time where the extra cooling was required. The biggest disappointment I had was having to wait for the second card to arrive after the first one arrived DOA.”

MSI NX7900GT
t-break :: Sunday, April 02, 2006
Besides the highest-end GTX from nVidia, the 7900 also has a GT version priced considerably less. We take a look at MSI’s solution to find out how well it performs. Here’s a bit from the article:

Today, we have the younger sibling of that card- the 7900GT and this one’s by MSI. The 7900GT is basically lower clocked version of the GTX with the core running at 450MHz and 256MB of memory at 660MHz. The number of pixel and vertex shaders remain unchanged so a good overclocker should be able to reach close to the GTX in terms of performance while the pricing for this one starts at $249

Samsung SyncMaster 244T
Bytesector :: Sunday, April 02, 2006
“As video cards continue to become more and more powerful, support for multiple monitors is becoming increasingly common. But instead of buying 2 monitors of marginal quality, what if you could buy one huge monitor instead? And what if that monitor could also take television inputs? The SyncMaster 244T is just such a product from Samsung. This 24″ widescreen monitor is nothing short of massive, and takes five different types of video inputs, making it very flexible. The long list of features and incredible viewing quality for all uses will make any user question the practical use of multiple monitors. Although this monitor supports multiple inputs, it will be reviewed as a PC Monitor instead of a TV because of the lack of speakers.”

ATI’s CeBIT Graphics Press Coverage Analysis
techPowerUp! :: Sunday, April 02, 2006
At this year’s CeBIT NVIDIA had a load of new products and was very aggressively marketing them, which made ATI’s existing customers feel insecure. In order to level the playing field and reassure distributors that ATI is indeed able to compete, this presentation was created. It quotes several big websites on topics like X1800GTO, 7600 and 7900.
