XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card

When we looked at the 9800 GTX+ for the first time the other week, the ASUS TOP version did impress us to a degree. As mentioned in our review, the 9800 GTX+ is pretty much an overclocked 9800 GTX, while an overclocked 9800 GTX+ is just an extremely overclocked 9800 GTX.

While XFX has overclocked the card, there doesn’t seem to be any extra naming for the card like we’ve seen in the past. For example, the 9800 GTX+ XXX Edition or something similar. Today we’ll check out what XFX has done with the card and see if it can stand out from the pack like the ASUS one we looked at just the other week. But before we get into the performance side of things, let’s take the time to have a quick look at the box and what’s inside.

ECS GF8200A Motherboard Review
Digit-Life posted a review on the ECS GF8200A Motherboard

The idea of building an inexpensive PC on a full-size integrated motherboard with a digital monitor output is getting increasingly popular. ECS is well aware of requirements of budget PC buyers. At least, judging by the abundance of motherboards with this very market positioning. Let's see what the company has to offer this time.

Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H

Essentially, the 790GX will fill the midrange gap where the 790X failed to gain ground - it'll offer more features and better overclocking from the new SB750 southbridge, but depending on what price the few *790FX* and SB750 boards arrive at it or whether ATI pulls its finger out in Hybrid Power, it will be make or break as to whether the 790GX is /ever/ appealing or not. There's just no point to expensive Hybrid CrossFire.

This undoubtedly affects the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H. It's a board with some compatibility issues and even if the features are solid and at least what we'd expect, it has a decent general performance, fantastic IGP performance but basically fails in reliability. In some respects it's one of the best featured (in terms of SATA and overclocking) CrossFire board you'll find today, however given the problems we would recommend looking around to see what else is on offer.

Asus Eee PC 1000 Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Asus Eee PC 1000

The Eee PC 1000 is a very interesting product, especially to someone like me who still uses the original Eee PC 701 regularly, but the issue with it is that Asus are obviously struggling on ways to upgrade the older models without losing the focus on web browsing and general office tasks.

Still, the sneaking suspicion remains that Asus have somehow failed to offer anything truly, greatly new with the new Eee 1000 and the impact it's made on us is definitely less than that made by the first sightings of the Eee PC 701. Maybe we're just getting old, twisted and cynical.
