Leadtek 9800GTX+ Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Leadtek 9800GTX+

With today's newest additions to graphics cards, it seems like they keep getting bigger and bigger. And along with each rehash we usually see a die decrease, but the card doesn't necessarily get smaller in size. This is unfortunate for people with smaller cases or mid tower cases where the hard drive cage gets in the way. As we all know, a standard 9800GTX or 9800GTX+ is 10.5 inches long. That's pretty long for a video card and requires some serious roomage in your case to have one. Leadtek though, has decided to go beyond Nvidia's reference design and create their own. They made a new card that will deliver the performance of the bigger cards, but take up less space, use less power, and generate less heat. Sounds like a winner.

DFI LANParty DK 790FX-B M2RSH motherboard Review
bit-tech published a review of DFI's LANParty DK 790FX-B M2RSH motherboard

The short answer is that unless you're only interested in maximising the overclocking potential of your CPU, the DFI LANParty DK 790FX-B M2RSH doesn't hit the right spot because it really lacks on virtually all other important fronts. As much as we don't like the MSI board we've also tested here, the DFI does little to stand out above even this low bar and the few positives are largely countered by an overwhelming "meh" experience.

We used the Asus M3A79-T for several months and certainly feel that it's a better board - it may not be as sexy looking, but it's better featured, far more compatible with different memory and more tolerant to BIOS abuse. The DFI works well enough, and it's certainly not a bad board, but there are better options out there.
