Good morning HotHardware fans! We've got two new articles posted up for you today. In the first we take a look at ATI's brand new Radeon X800 XL. This card will appeal to anyone in the market for a high-end PCI Express graphics card, as its got all of the features of an X800 XT, but it's MSRP is actually less than $300! Click here to check it out.
In the second article, we cover NVIDIA's brand new entry-level GPU, the GeForce 6200 with TurboCache Technology. The new GeForce 6200 with TurboCache Technology has the same feature set as any other GeForce 6, and performs like a card with a large amount of on-board memory, but it gets by with as little as 16MB of local memory. TurboCache gives these new cards the ability to render direct to system memory, eliminating the need for larger frame buffers. You can read up on it right here...
Marco Chiappetta
Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
