Gigabyte P55-UD6 Motherboard @ iXBT Labs
“So why the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6? It looks like a perfect example of the principle “make it glossy no matter the cost”. It’s a perfect choice for users who want the ultimate motherboard. Or at least to dream about one. Besides, such boards are necessary to show off manufacturer’s engineering skills to create bleeding-edge devices. Devices called to amaze people.”
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156 Motherboard @ Bjorn3D
“Instead of 32 GB/s of total PCIe video bandwidth and Triple Channel DDR3, LGA 1156 gets 16 GB/s of total video bandwidth, Dual Channel DDR3, and relocation of the memory and PCIe controller from the motherboard to the CPU. This makes CPU and motherboard production cheaper, which makes purchasing cheaper. Now that we’ve covered the brief history of this brand new platform, lets move on to what the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe motherboard is all about.”
XFX Radeon HD 4890 1GB @ Legit Reviews
“When it comes to performance, the XFX Radeon HD 4890 is very capable of playing any game out now even at high resolutions. As the highest performing single card in the ATI Radeon HD 4000 series arsenal, that is to be expected. What was very surprising was just how little difference there was between the Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 2GB and our XFX Radeon HD 4890 1GB.”
Sapphire HD 5850 @ Overclockers Club
“The HD 5850 is a bit smaller than its big brother the HD 5870. It’s smaller stature in no way is a reflection on the performance that is delivered by this card – it just eases the minds of those who have a smaller chassis and are looking for an upgrade path. The only down side I have on the 5800 series is the fact that while the 5850 has much improved cooling with its two heatpipe equipped heatsink, the fan noise is still there.”
AMD’s Radeon HD 5770 and 5750 @ Tech Report
“In just a few short weeks, AMD’s DirectX 11-class Radeon technology has migrated from the high-end 5800 series to the mid-range 5700 series. Now you can pick up a DX11 graphics card for $159 or less. Is this the right upgrade for you? We’re on it.”
NVIDIA GeForce GT220OC / GT210OC Launch Review @ Motherboards.org
“These are not gaming cards that is the first thing to get out of the way. If you are looking for a fast video card I would suggest looking elsewhere as these cards do not have the performance to run the latest and greatest games without some sacrifice in playability resolution or setting. On the other hand performance on the GT220 OC from Gigabyte was enough to play many games with some decent performance numbers at low resolutions and is a nice upgrade from the Inetl integrated or AMD integrated graphics on their motherboards without spending too much money.”
Sapphire, XFX, Gigabyte, Radeon HD 5850 RoundUp @ Motherboards.org
“ATI has two products on their list which are game-changing in the fact that they will likely be the only DirectX 11 supporting video cards on the market until 2010 when the consumer version of the Fermi architecture announced by NVIDIA yesterday will be released. Until then, they have the highest performing chip in the HD 5870 and a very high performing chip in the form of the HD 5850 which costs $120 less than the HD 5870.”

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 4GB Kit DDR3-1333 @ OCInisde
“Since current AMD processors supports DDR3 memory modules, DDR3 Dual Channel kits got more demand. Because who like to build a new PC system with an AMD Phenom II processor, surely prefer a motherboard with DDR3 Dual Channel support. This OC review will show the difference between DDR3 and DDR2 RAM and the review will also show how far this DDR3 kit can be overclocked on a current AMD 790GX system.”
