MSI P45 Platinum and Diamond Motherboard Reviewed

Topic:

Hothardware takes a look at the new MSI P45 Platinum and Diamond Motherboards.
Quote from the review: "A few months back, Intel released the P45 Chipset, which at the time was considered to be their mainstream offering, playing second fiddle to the X48 Express. With official support of a 1333MHz FSB, PCI-E 2.0, ATI CrossFire, and support for both DDR2 and DDR3 memory, there's a lot of roads to go down with the construction of one of these motherboards, and MSI went down all of them. MSI fleshed out a complete top-to-bottom assortment of boards, which means that they have a P45 motherboard that suits just about every potential buyer's needs. Read more

HTC Touch Diamond P3702 released

Topic:

HTC released a new version of its HTC Touch Diamond in Taiwan dubbed HTC Touch Diamond P3702.

The HTC Touch Diamond P3702 features as far as I can see the same specifications as the Touch Diamond available in several markets today.
The P3702 has a more round case design. Supposedly the Taiwanese consumer is not into diamond edges. The images published on the Taiwanese carrier site are not clearly showing the backside of the phone, so it is hard to tell how the Touch Diamond looks without diamonds. Read more

Diamond ATI Radeon HD 4850 Review

Topic:

Motherboards published a Diamond ATI Radeon HD 4850 review. Diamond just announced the HD 4850 Card last Friday.

Quote from the review: "This card will essentially be a XFX Black Edition 9800GTX as the clock speeds will be 738MHz for the core and higher clock speed for the Shader clock. It will be an interesting battle for sure, but ATI has fired the first salvo towards high-performance sub-$200 video cards of 2008. The high-end enthusiast market wanting an ATI card that competes well against NVIDIA's best will have to wait a month or so until the HD4870 arrives and its dual-chip brother the 4870X2. They will have higher clock speeds, GDDR5 memory and be much more competitive against the GTX260 and GTX280 (here's a hint; two 4870s working together on a single PCB will likely outperform GTX280 for the same price point) If this forces NVIDIA to lower their prices it will be a much better market, after all, who wants to spend $650+ on a new video card if you can help it.

Diamond Viper HD 3870 1GB Video Card Reviewed

Topic:

TheTechLounge published a Diamond Viper HD 3870 Review.

Quote from the review: "Under the heatsink is a whole lot of GDDR3, which in itself doesn't mean much--you can find a pile of budget cards with a gig of RAM, the extra memory incapable of boosting their meager performance--but the 3870 is plainly able to fill its frame buffer. If it were truly a budget card, it would come off as sheer marketing; with a high-end card like this, it really does make a difference. The last great ATI card was the HD 2900 XT, a spectacular misfire. Read more
