Shopping for a GeForce 7 card is akin to stopping at Baskin Robbins these days, with so many flavors to choose from. We decided to grab one of those little plastic spoons and do a little of the sampling for you. Up for today's taste test are MSI's NX7900GT-VT2D256E-HD, a pre-overclocked 7900 GT also featuring HDCP support, and two cards from Asus: the EN7900GS TOP/2DHT/256M/A and the EN7950GT/HTDP/512M/A. The former card also comes overclocked by default, and by a large margin, while the latter card sports 512MB of RAM as well as HDCP support.

Kingston Technology was kind enough to send over some of their evaluation DDR2 RAM to test out. The RAM kit that came in, is the KHX600D2K2/2G; for those of you who aren't versed in Kingston product nomenclature, this is a 2GB Kit made up of two 1GB 128M x 64-bit PC2-6400 CL5 240-pin DIMM modules. Each of the modules has been tested to run at DDR2 800MHz with the low latency timings of 5-5-5-15 at 2.0v.

Headphones. Some like them big, some like small, some people want noise-canceling and some want wireless. Wait. wireless? Yes! Altec Lansing AHP612 Wireless Studio Headphones to be exact. While not exactly portable in the taking-the-bus-to-work sense, they promise to let you roam free of wires when home. No more being tethered to your computer or knocking the headphones off your head when you get carried away with the air guitar.

Believe it or not, the term 'consumer' does not describe every PC user in the home. A new trend emerges as the term 'prosumer' is created to commodate this change -- usually referring to computer enthusiasts who want something beyond the features and characteristics of even a relatively high end consumer product. So, how about it -- a workstation motherboard for the home? With four PCIe slots and a truckload of other features built on Intel's i975X chipset, the Asus P5W64-WS Professional "Wall Street Quartet" motherboard is definitely a very interesting product. The evoked sense of performance, stability, and features just seems to be overwhelming. Let's see how well and what this board can deliver.
