Elite Bastards article: Adaptive anti-aliasing on ATI Radeon X800 boards investigated

"What firstly NVIDIA, and now ATI, have done is implement an algorithm that attempts to detect alpha textures in an application, and apply super-sampling (or also multi-sampling in NVIDIA's case) selectively to a scene, hunting out and anti-aliasing only alpha textures in this fashion while allowing the rest of the scene to be handled by the usual anti-aliasing method."

Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev.3 *7800 Series* Compatible @ PureOverclock.com

"I’m going to get right to the point here. The Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev.3 costs around ?15 from UK Vendors. For me it’s a no brainer. If you are lucky enough to own a 7800 you owe it to yourself to buy one. It’s incredibly easy to install, looks great and the performance is so very worth even double the price they charge."

Futuremark Interview (Part 1) @ Beyond3D

"Over the years, Futuremark Corporation has launched a new version of their well-known application, 3DMark, to coincide with either a new version of DirectX or when there is a big enough range of products that offers support for specific key features within D3D. With three SM3.0 implementations currently on the market (NVIDIA's 6 and 7 series, as well as ATI's X1000 series), there is sufficient hardware support available to warrant a new benchmark that tests these capabilities. On this basis, we approached Futuremark with a series of questions; the first part of this exclusive interview aspects of their past and present status, as well as goals for the future."

Sony VAIO VGN-S480 Review at Designtechnica.com

"The Sony VAIO S480 is the perfect notebook for people that don't want to compromise on performance when it comes to their lightweight laptop. With a 2.13GHz processor, 100GB hard drive, DVD+/-RW dual layer drive, and integrated GeForce Go 6200, the S480 has the power to replace a modest desktop PC. But, with a 13.3" XBRITE widescreen display and a weight of just 4.3 pounds, this powerhouse just barely misses a classification of an ultra lightweight laptop. While the battery life could be better, and this first class package comes at a first class price, the VAIO S480 is a top contender all around."

Howto LIFT you case off the floor and get more AIR in? @ Madshrimps

"Most homes in the U.S. have carpeted floor; we all know too well most ATX tower cases anchored or sunken into the carpet with those tiny rubber pads called feet. Are you sick and tired of dragging your PC from under the desk out? How about letting in more outside air? $4 to get your rig higher on the rug in 5 minutes and get more air from your front panel for $1 in about 30 minutes."

XFX 7800 GTX review @ HardwareHell

"By now, there is no need to question the power of the 7800 GTX, whether it comes with a factory set overclock or not. Everyone knows that it is the card to get if you want the best gaming performance available. When you care about raw power though, a factory and warrantied overclock is a big plus. In fact, XFX only offers overclocked versions of the 7800 GTX. If that's not catering to enthusiasts, then I don't know what is!"
