Thegraphics solution world is constantly evolving with visual qualitybeing stepped up at an ever-growing exponential rate. The launch ofWindows 7 and with it the tantalising prospect of DirectX 11 games isperhaps not so much just a single step up but a whole flight of stairsdesigned to deliver unparalleled graphics quality. With nVidia sliding by the way side, ATI is setting about monopolisingthe market rolling out numerous members of its 5 series cards, each ofwhich offers a different price/performance ratio, following the mainlaunch of the 5870 – a card which packed some serious performance andcertainly turned heads at the beginning of the DirectX 11 era.However, with DirectX 11 games still very much on the horizon and priceof the 5870 way over budget for many enthusiasts, the inevitableintroduction of the 5850 followed shortly. Based on the same RV870core, codenamed Cypress, but located inside the $250 price bracket, the5850 should consolidate the performance achieved by its bigger brotherplacing it in the upper mid-range section so as to push all the buttonsfor DX11 enthusiasts.

The performance of the Patriot Box Office HD Media Player was incredible. High definition movies and lossless music played quickly and stutter-free. Even large-format images that we captured in JPG or TFF looked great on our TVs. Overall, we were really pleased with this device and would recommend it over others in this price range mainly because we can use a local hard drive. Unlike the Western Digital where the WDTV Live can “partner” with a USB connected drive externally, the Patriot Box Office solution is sleeker and more functional...

We were first sent the SH93 320GB yellow waterproof and shock resistant portable HDD for video review two weeks ago or more, but on first attempt we managed to kill the device by getting a little too excited with it.The A-DATA SH93 is a portable hard drive coming in sizes of 320GB, 500GB and 640GB with design choices of racing car style yellow or red. It is built using highly durable rubber and plastic and is able to stand drops and incidents with water, as long as it is turned off and the USB cable lid is closed.

The Western Digital WD TV has plenty of attributes to help it score at the top of the list of media players I have checked out so far. It has a slick but simple appearance, the user interface is attractive and easy to use, the system is quick to respond to commands from the remote control, it supports plenty of file formats, and it has HDMI connectivity.

*/The crucial question on the minds of many is obviously going to be whether or not it’s worth forking over for //Left 4 Dead 2 considering that their original game has such an active modding community, with new maps released fairly regularly. The answer is a definite ‘Yes’.

One of the best way to save money and still get a kick ass home theater set up has always been three words, “build it yourself”. Now the company Saybas is changing that and hopefully for the better with the Popcorn Hour C200. The Popcorn Hour C200 is a Network Media Tank that promises to pack a wallop when it comes to home theater set up’s. Thanks to Saybas you now have the option to purchase one of their sleek looking Popcorn Hour C200 units and still have enough in your budget to purchase a few of the latest blockbusters. Ladies and gentleman follow me as I review Saybas’s Network Media Tank, the Popcorn Hour C200.

The new AMD Radeon HD 5970 graphics card takes PC gaming performanceto a completely new level by combining a pair of Evergreen-based GPUs on asingle PCB, 2GB of GDDR5 memory and plenty of headroom for overclocking.For a single card system, the performance that the HD 5970 provides issimply unmatched but that does not mean the card is without its slightmisgivings.

The GeForce GT 240 is NVIDIA’s latest performance-class GPU that enables the mainstream PC to become vastly more functional and enjoyable. Compared to PCs using integrated graphics that struggle with today’s increasingly graphical and GPU-computing workloads, systems outfitted with GT 240 offer great general gaming performance, Power Gaming (PhysX acceleration + 3D Vision), and GPU Computing at under $99. With the addition of a GeForce GT240, a PC can also provide smooth HD video playback from Bluray, DivX, and Flash 10.1 sources, while also facilitating seamless HD video creation and editing. The concept of Power Gaming is more than just high performance graphics. Gamers using a GeForce GT 240 can enjoy the latest games with PhysX and 3D Vision for a truly immersive gaming experience...
