This is AMDs is the cream of the crop processor of the quad-core product line it runs at 2600 MHz on all four cores with a multiplier of 13. But really it doesn't mind 3000 or 3200 MHz either. And that's what we'll show you in today's article. http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-phenom-x4-9950-be-processor-tested/ Processors http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-phenom-x4-9950-be-processor-tested/ Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +1000 A790GXM mainboard test - ECS is trying get a more reach in the enthusiast market I wasn't surprised to see them release the product as shown today.

It's the cheapest desktop graphics product that ATI can deliver at your doorsteps. This Radeon HD 4550 GPU codename RV710XT comes with an optional 256 MB GDDR2 or optional 512MB GDDR3 and will cost you .. 45 to 55 USD respectively. http://www.guru3d.com/article/ati-radeon-hd-4550-512mb-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/ati-radeon-hd-4550-512mb-review/ Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +1000 Today a test and review on the new AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB. Obviously ATI is releasing a 1GB model to compete with the new Core 216 version of that GeForce GTX 260. The 4870 series really diggs that GDDR5 memory bandwidth and what's the cheapest thing to do to gain some extra performance Increase the framebuffer volume. Now that by itself is not going to work miracles yet in memory limited situations loads of high quality textures filtering and AA modes it will help you here and there. And a little bit of extra bite is all the product needs to get beat that Core 216 card again. http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-ati-radeon-hd-4870-1024mb-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-ati-radeon-hd-4870-1024mb-review/ Mon, 29 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +1000 Sun rays burst through cracks in wooden roofs.
