Geforce 8800 GTS 320 SLI report

Already with our Geforce 8800 GTS 320 report we briefly began to cut the topic SLI, since it interested us whether 8800 GTS 320 SLI system would be worthwhile itself and whether one could make the lost memory performance compared with the large 8800 models again. Today the day of the truth is, today goes we to the thing on the reason. We have 2. Geforce 8800 GTS 320 from BFG to the order posed get, so that we can answer these questions.

Already before the acquisition of a diagram map we considered 8800 whether we 8800 GTX, 640 MT 8800 GTS or nevertheless the 320 MT a variant to purchase to be supposed itself. The reason for long considering are apart from the different initial costs also the future use of the map. 8800 GTX under-demanded and bored GHz dual core system would be obviously with the today's Games in a 3. On other side 2 pieces would cost 8800 GTS 320 the same. But a SLI pays the system in this variant at all? Questions over questions, which one can answer only by measurements.

Wrapping up on CeBIT 2007 - Intel P35 to support AMD Crossfire

Hi people
I was just surfing around the net, and thought that I've give you pretty much all details on SLI and news around it... but I've unforetunately read one article that dissapointed me! No it's not Nvidia it's Intel (again) :-(
I mean... why does Intel produces motherboards with Crossfire?! About 0.1% people use it! It's a waste of time and valuable pci/pci-e slots! Ah... I'm going home now, and this news really bothers me!



We expect AMD to announce Crossfire support for Intel P35 on the chipset's launch, if this Foxconn presentation slide is anything to go by at least.The Foxconn board we've snapped showing the Crossfire support looks suitably high-end, with support for up to 8GiB of DDR2-800, a 1333MHz front-side bus, Core 2 Quad and Fox One overclocking support.

We're not sure what IC they're using for IDE support, since the ICH9R I/O processor doesn't suppport any IDE channels (ICH8 was the first to drop it). Foxconn say pricing should be competitive with other boards with the same rough feature

Velocity Micro Gamers' Edge DualX Custom Gaming Computer

I know that you're probably tired of so many links and reviews of complete based systems (Alienware, Dell, Velocity Micro etc.) but it's just that there are so many reviews around the web, that it's a shame not to mention it....





When you are looking for an ultimate gaming PC there are not a lot of choices. It's not like you can go down to your local Best Buy or Circuit City and get a great gaming PC. At those retail stores you will find basic consumer systems, no hardcore gaming systems. So where do you turn if you want a top of the line gaming PC where you can choose the components inside and have it professionally built for you? Velocity Micro is one of the few companies out there that will do this for you. Today we will be taking a look at their Gamers' Edge DualX Custom Gaming PC. We will see how it performs against our test system and compare results to the price of each system.
