Good morning friends, I am glad to see you are back :) Things around the HH lab are shaping up to be a busy day. With most of the team grinding away on their respective reviews I am sure the Mr. Coffee is going to get a through workout today. Speaking of which, go grab a cup of joe and settle in.

Albatron PX865PE Lite Pro vs. Asus P4P800S-E Budget boards take a bite out of the market by Robert Maloney November 20th, 2003 With the proliferation of 800MHz FSB processors and the wide acceptance of DDR400 memory, it's quite easy to see how Springdale and Canterwood boards have captured a large share of the current market. Performance-wise, both of these chipsets provide a large jump over the very successful i845, but with an equally large bump in the price. Cost-conscious users who are currently content with their i845 setup might find the cost of upgrading somewhat prohibitive. As we all know, the upgrade cycle can sometimes...

The Gigabyte GV-R98P128D Powered by the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro By - Marco Chiappetta July 17, 2003 At the moment, gamers looking for a "Top-of-the-Line" graphics card, basically have two GPUs to choose from, either an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro or an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900. Video cards based on these two GPUs are so evenly matched, they swap the first place position in most of today's popular benchmarks, depending on what resolutions or settings are used. And to further complicate matters, the performance landscape changes slightly with each driver release. It's very difficult to determine which product is superior or whether one is better for your personal needs versus another. ...
