It's true that we haven't seen K10's full potential yet, but if the switch from Socket 939/DDR to Socket AM2/DDR2 is any indication, the difference is not going to be great, because core performance is still king. Let's just hope it scales well. If i...  [Read More]

It'll take some time for it to catch up with Intel though, but with such low frequencies they might attack the mainstream market with quads in the same price range as Intel's when quads start taking over from dual-cores... It all looks very promisin...  [Read More]

^^^^ the thing is that the HD2600's are more energy efficient than the HD2900's. having the 65nm core does make a big difference in power consumption and heat production which is both considerably less. as for the card itself, well, if it performs s...  [Read More]

Are you sure that it only has 128MB? All the ones that I've seen have 256, and you're going to want 256. That's what I thought, cause the brand is XFX, so I checked out the site and the only AGP that's on there is 256Mb, but hey for that price I can'...  [Read More]
