CeBIT Coverage
EVGA e-GeForce 6200 TC Video Card Video Review @ 3DGameMan.com
"The EVGA e-GeForce 6200 TC Video Card is based on the NVIDIA NV44 Chip and comes with 64MB of DDR memory. The TC stands for TurboCache which essentially means it takes system memory automatically for a total of 256MB. While this is certainly not a product for the hardcore gamer it does play all the latest games. It would be an excellent inexpensive quality product for a HTPC. Watch the Video to find out more..."
Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-SLI Review @ Neoseeker
"It seems that with every Socket 939 board that we test, overclocking capabilities only get better. Our last Gigabyte board, the K8NXP-SLI, topped out at the high 270's on the HT bus. On our K8N Ultra-SLI sample, I've managed to crank things up to 295 MHz. While I've been somewhat spoiled by the DFI LanParty NF4 Ultra's 365 MHz, I remind myself that going from 200 MHz to ~300 MHz is a ~50% jump."
Zalman VF700-CU Ultra Quiet Copper VGA Cooler @ OCIA.net
"The existing heatsink on the PCI-E/AGP interface must be used. If your existing cooler integrates the GPU and PCI-E/AGP interface, you cannot use the VF700. Well, you could, but a healthy heatsink must be used on this interface, as it gets very hot."
Sunbeam Samurai and Transformer ATX Case @ 3DXtreme
"Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of looking at the two newest products in the Sunbeam family. These products are the mid-tower Samurai ATX Case and the full-tower Transformer ATX Case. Neither Case comes with an included Power Supply Unit, however the pricing reflects that at mere $56 and $99."
