NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, 5700 Ultra, 5700 and 5600XT [Review, Digit-Life]
Following ATI with its RADEON 9800 XT and 9600 XT, NVIDIA announces a new line of products. If you think that they simply overclocked the old models, you will be partially right. For the middle sector NVIDIA produces not the overclocked NV31 but a redesigned processor codenamed NV36. Thu, 23 Oct, 2003 | 2798 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
PowerColor RADEON 9600 PRO EZ 256MB, 9200SE 128MB, and 7000 64MB [Review, Digit-Life]
What if we make a hybrid of the RADEON 9600 and 9600 PRO? Well, this is what C.P.Technology did: it launched the RADEON 9600 PRO EZ. This solution is based on a cheaper PCB from the RADEON 9600, has cheaper TSOP memory, but the chip used is RADEON 9600 PRO (400 MHz). That resulted in a card with just the memory clock lowered (relative the RADEON 9600 PRO - 200 (400) MHz instead of 300 (600)). Later on we will estimate its performance, but do remember that it's just a bit dearer than the RADEON 9600. Sat, 13 Sep, 2003 | 2020 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis 256MB [Review, Rage3d]
Introduced last fall, the RV350 based Radeon 9600 was meant both as a replacement for the more expensive to produce RV300 based Radeon 9500 and as a "proof of concept" for ATIs ability to design a .13µ graphics chip. While still not as fast as the 9500 Pro, 9600 Pros are never-the-less very popular today and are excellent performers when compared to cards in the same market segment from other companies.

Shuttle SN85G4V2 XPC Review – Quiet And Cool! [Review, SFFTech]
Late last year, in symphony with AMD’s release of the Athlon 64, Shuttle produced the industry’s first AMD 64-bit capable SFF, the SN85G4. Now, less than a year later, they have started shipping the 2nd generation of this system, the SN85G4V2 (version 2). It’s still the same great system, with a few extra bells and whistles, engineering modifications, and other enhancements, all designed to make the system run a bit cooler, quieter, and overall more efficient.

Samsung 193P: Exclusive Preview [Preview, AnandTech]
Today, we celebrate our third generation of 19" LCD monitors from Samsung. We first saw samples of the 193P six months ago at Comdex Las Vegas. The SyncMaster 193P caught our eye as something different; it has no interface other than the on/off switch. Windows or Mac software control typical functions of the On Screen Display (OSD).

Samsung 957MB 19-inch CRT Monitor [Review, Bjorn3d]
Over the last six months, I have reviewed several monitors, including the Samsung 192T, which I even ended up buying for myself. There has however been one problem with all the LCD displays I have reviewed so far – they only go up to 1280x1024 in resolution. Since I review many video cards, I really need to be able to go up to at least 1600x1200, and so far I have been forced to use my six year old, trusty Samsung 900P to do this duty. Today, I am happy to give you my thoughts on the new Samsung 975MB. I have been using this monitor for about a month and am ready to give you my opinion of it.

Samsung SyncMaster 192N [Review, Hardwarecentral]
LCD monitors may have gone mainstream, but friends and coworkers will still cast covetous glances at Samsung's big (19-inch), handsome (sleek slim bezels) display -- and if you ask them to guess its price, they'll pick a number well north of its reasonable $749. Even with one or two cost-cutting compromises, it's one of the classiest flat panels we've seen. Thu, 03 Apr, 2003 | 566 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
NVIDIA's GeForce Go 6600 and GeForce Go 6200 Launch [Review, Hexus]
It's speedy mid-range graphics with a power-optimised bent, in skinny
notebooks, for gaming and good video on the move. NVIDIA have brought the
entire stable of discrete products to the portable market, with them all
shipping as I type this, in a bunch of designs from the likes of Clevo,
Uniwill, Wistron and others.
ATI are doing much the same with PCI Express, HyperMemory and optimised mobile
versions of desktop ASICs. 3D gets ever powerful on the move, and it's good to
see NVIDIA push their latest architecture onto devices you can use to play Half
Life 2 on the bus. Tue, 22 Feb, 2005 | 644 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Nvidia nForce 2 Ultra 400: Biostar M7NCD Ultra [Review, AMDZone]
If you are looking for a low cost motherboard based on the nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset then look no further.
