I believe it’s been a lengthy 5 months since I’ve slapped together one of these guides. I’d say I’m a bit overdue, so here we go.

Anandtech Previews Intel’s Nehalem
06.05.08 - 08:52am
I just feel obligated to call to everyones attention that Nehalem looks to be a multi-threaded monster. While at Computex in Taiwan, Anandtech managed to snag two Nehalem systems, one at 2.66Ghz and one at 2.93GHz. Using pre-production boards with some serious bugs slightly impacted the scores recorded but even with these penalties, Nehalem bested [...]
Review: Gigabyte 8800GT 512MB
05.26.08 - 02:04am
Today I have a long put-off review of the Gigabyte 8800GT.

The 8800GT was originally launched in October 2007 and over the course of 7 months [...]
“Official” AMD HD4850/4870 Specifications

The RV770 core, which will form AMD’s HD4850, HD4870, and HD4870X2, will consist of 480 shaders, 160 more [...]
Review: 2×1GB Corsair PC2-8888C4 Dominator
05.14.08 - 08:49pm
During my recent trip to California, Corsair hooked me up with some of the DDR2 and DDR3 Dominators. Prior to this I have more or less stuck with OCZ since my DDR1 days however I simply couldn’t pass up these sticks. For the following week I was jittery in anticipation, these sticks had the potential [...]
Upcoming Gigabyte P45 Technologies and Features
05.14.08 - 04:12am
During Gigabyte’s Spring Break they presented a slideshow to us, highlighting upcoming technologies in their P45 launch. P45 really will be a remarkable chipset but not due to the actual chipset performance itself but the features that come with it. Gigabyte has a slew of features that’ll be a part of their P45 series boards, [...]
