Sure, you've already heard the news (and probably seen reviews) of AMD's Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 card - we'll have our own review ready very soon. NVIDIA apparently got the news as well and decide to try and put some additional pressure on AMD to perform. The answer: GeForce 9800 GTX+.

BFG GeForce GTX 280 OC edition review <http://www.guru3d.com/article/bfg-geforce-gtx-280-oc-edition-review/>'>http://www.guru3d.com/article/bfg-geforce-gtx-280-oc-edition-review/> Today a review on BFG's GeForce GTX 280 1024MB OC edition. It had to go something like this; the minute BFG finished designing this product they got all giddily and figured .. ooh we gotta send Guru3D one. Sure thing, hey bring it on. So a couple of days ago, prior to the actual GTX 200 series product launch, we received that OC model from BFG. BFG figured, hey for the same launch price we can introduce a slightly overclocked version, fire off a life-time warranty at it and slap an OC label on there. Read the full review here: http://www.guru3d.com/article/bfg-geforce-gtx-280-oc-edition-review/ <http://www.guru3d.com/article/bfg-geforce-gtx-280-oc-edition-review/> --

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the Asus P5Q Deluxe Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "Overclocking on the P5Q Deluxe could not have been easier. Leave all of the voltages alone except for the CPU Vcore and the voltage for the memory, and you can go quite far. In fact, I went right to the limits of my CPU - and beyond. The P5Q allowed me to boot the computer through 500FSB and on into MemTest 2.0, where, sadly, it could not make a complete pass. But by dropping 5 FSB, I was able to get into Windows at 495x8 with my Q9450, but stability was nowhere to be found with the Q9450 at this level - voltages, GTL ref settings, VTT, PLL, nothing seemed to help. Dropping the FSB to 480 was benchmark stable, but not much else. At this point, all of the voltages were tweaked as well as the GTL reference voltages. These allowed me to finally gain stability at 474FSB. While only 4 FSB faster than the previous best on this CPU, it's still faster. Stability means different things to different people - some are fine with SuperPi stable, but in the non-benchmark record setting world, 24 hour stability is a must. Seeing how the P5Q responded without all the massive voltages needed on previous chipsets told me there is some honest potential for overclocking on the P5Q Deluxe."

Today we look at the Visiontek HD 3870 X2 Overclocked Edition. SNIP: Visiontek does it again!! It’s a two in one deal. Two GPUs under the same roof or should I say PCB. (To bad it isn’t two GPUs for the PRICE of one.) They couldn’t stop there though they had to make it even more tempting by overclocking it. Too many times space is wasted in your rig getting the power of two cards in Crossfire, now there’s just one card with one easy setup. Just set it and forget it. Or, if you are like me, drool over it. The Visiontek 3870 X2 Overclocked Edition is one of the first cards to reach 1 teraFLOP boundry. FLOP stands for Floating Point Operations Per Second. TeraFLOP means one trillion Floating Operations Per Second. It is a measure of how many multiplications in a second the device can do. It basically means the more the FLOPS the faster the device can compute. Class dismissed, it’s time to play! http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1292 A post on your site would be great if you can.

Hello Technology News Community, I4U NEWS published a review of the 24 inch ASUS MK241 LCD Monitor. Quote from the review: "Today we are checking out a reasonably priced 24-inch LCD from ASUS. The MK 241 looks good and offers a wide range of features to entice users. The display works well for normal computer use with nice color saturation and decent black levels. Skin tones looked natural and colors popped well. ASUS claims the display has a 130% color gamut, which is something you really can’t measure. Colors looked good though."

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Software) - GTX 280 ForceWare 177.35 Performance QUOTE: "We figured that graphs speak louder than words, so today we took the time to test the new drivers under XP and Vista across a range of benchmarks on our ZOTAC GTX 280. I’ve decided that although there are new Catalyst drivers available for me to test, people would be more excited to see what NVIDIA can do to (hopefully) squeeze more performance out of the GTX 200 cards. While a lot of sites have loved the GTX 200 series of cards, they don’t seem to completely understand what’s going on in the AMD camp. I can honestly say that NVIDIA need the GTX 280 to get a speed bump, or gamers may be flocking to AMD for their graphics card sooner rather than later."

Here's a quote from the article :- "With those chipsets fresh out of the oven, there will be nothing new from Intel until the end of the year when Intel is scheduled to launch the X58 Express (Tylersburg) chipset together with the Intel Bloomfield (Nehalem desktop) processor. It will use the same ICH10/ICH10R south bridge as the Intel 4 Series chipsets."

The Special Edition adds a mirror-finished stainless steel front and side panels along with a custom black interior and snake light to Antec's popular P182 enclosure. Does that help it stand the test of time for one of Antec's original classics? URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=563 Quote: "The Antec P182SE Special Edition advanced super mid-tower case will certainly appeal to a niche audience. If you like the clean lines and unique look that the mirror finished stainless steel front and side panels have to offer then Antec's P182SE Special Edition may be the one of a kind case for you! The P182SE is a relatively compact mid-tower chassis and yet still provides 11 storage bays and is a big improvement over the original P180. The three bundled 120mm Tri-Cool fans can be adjusted to deliver the right balance of airflow to noise thanks to the integrated speed controls." Thanks for a post!

Hello, OCIA.net has posted their AMD K10 - Phenom Overclocking Guide. Below is a direct quote from the review: "Although Intel's Core Duo and Quad processors have pretty much taken taken over the top performance rung from rival manufacturer AMD, fans of the underdog company have reason to rejoice... Phenom is here. With a new 9x50 numbering scheme to represent the latest stepping, and no longer plagued by the TLB errata, AMD re-released the Phenom X4 chips to retail suppliers with 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 Ghz operating frequencies. So if you're finally thinking about taking the K10 plunge, or you are looking to get a little more out of your Phenom processor, this guide was written with you in mind."

Hello Everyone, LCD monitors were supposed to free up our precious desk real estate as they relegated bulky CRTs to the local landfill. But with the quantity and quality of high-definition content increasing and LCD prices continuing to drop, widescreen LCDs are becoming increasingly prevalent. Now our desks are filling up again--only this time in width, instead of depth. Still, for many, this is a small price to pay for the relatively large screen area and wide aspect ratio that these widescreen monitors offer. One such widescreen LCD monitor is Asus's MK241H 24-inch display, which sells for a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $499. It measures just under 22-inches wide, which is a typical width for a 24-inch (diagonal) display. Head on over to the site and check it out...
