ECS Geforce 8800 GT Dual Turbo 512MB Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the ECS Geforce 8800 GT Dual Turbo 512MB

They recently released their GeForce 8800 GT in retail and quite honestly, they are doing that properly by releasing this product with a custom cooler. Equipped with slightly higher than reference clock-speeds and custom made cooling made by Arctic Cooling they unleash their ECS Geforce 8800 GT Dual Turbo. It's a pretty nice card to be honest.

ASUS DRW-2014L1T DVD Drive w/ LightScribe Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the ASUS DRW-2014L1T DVD Drive.

The one thing that should boost ASUS sales of this drive is the addition of the LightScribe technology. The great thing about LightScribe is that you won't need to put stickers on your freshly-burned CD/DVD, now you just burn the picture or title directly onto the CD/DVD itself. However, this technology comes at the price of the increased cost of Lightscribe-compatible media.

ECS GeForce7050M-M Motherboard Review
Digit-Life posted a review on the ECS GeForce7050M-M Motherboard

It has been a while since we have tested the first board based on GeForce 7050 chipset. Meanwhile, we noticed the low interest of the other manufacturers towards this basically good chipset that reached the market a little late. We examined a board from ECS, a renowned expert in cheap integrated solutions.

Scythe NINJA Copper CPU Cooler Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Scythe NINJA Copper CPU Cooler

The Scythe NINJA Copper CPU Cooler one very large cooler! The heatsink weighs in at 1015 grams and if the fan is installed that adds another 115 grams. This is unquestionable heavy but not a big concern because of the way it gets installed using a motherboard back plate. It has an all copper heatsink with many fins. These fins are large and they are connected to long heatpipes which meet into a solid base. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

QuarkXPress 7 Passport Review
OCC has published a new review of the QuarkXPress 7 Passport

When I first opened up the program, I thought I had mistakenly opened Adobe Photoshop because the workspace looks almost identical. That's a good thing because Adobe Photoshop is an extremely easy program to use and it's easy to find everything you need. First, let's go ahead and see what all of the available tabs at the top have to offer. Under "File" you'll find options to start a new project or open a current project. If you look closely, you'll also see the option for "Job Jackets". A "Job Jacket" is a folder that you can use to keep all of the files, images, and attachments for your project together so that the final print comes with everything you collected along the way for your project. The next tab is "Edit" which is where I found the master collection of all the languages you can use with XPress 7 Passport. Quite a hefty list, huh? The next available tab without a project open is the "Utilities" tab. Here is where you'll be able to manage most of your projects or "Job Jackets" as well as tools, such as a dictionary.

NVIDIA SLI performance scaling - GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
Elite Bastards takes a look at NVIDIA SLI performance scaling

Of course, GPU manufacturers face some rather difficult challenges ahead if they really want to bring us into a full on multi-GPU future, but that's a discussion for another day. All we do know is that with ATI's Radeon HD 3870 X2 (sporting two RV670 cores) released this week, NVIDIA's dual G92 GeForce 9800 GX2 on the way, and rumours that ATI's next-generation R700 part will in fact be two RV770 cores on a single board, multi-GPU rendering in some shape or form is here to stay.

Thus (and with our Radeon HD 3870 X2 review coming very soon), what better time is there to take stock of the current state of multi-GPU rendering? To see just how well two graphics boards scale in current game titles on the NVIDIA side of the fence, we've taken two hugely popular GeForce 8800 GT 512MB parts, an nForce 780i SLI motherboard, and put this configuration through its paces to see what it can offer.
