"Hardware Avenue have posted a brief, down to business performance comparison between today's top two 3D chips - the 5900Ultra from Nvidia and the 9800Pro (with 256MB) from ATi." They're not kidding when they say brief
We've had several questions lately about quiet, effective cooling in the forums. Hopefully some raw data can help with these types of questions:
"With a Mikron IR Thermal Imager and a Canon A40 Digital Camera in hand, Spire was kind enough to detail all of the hot spots on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard with a Radeon 9700 PRO AGP Card... and the results may be surprising!"
In the market for RAM but don't know what you want? This article is a great starting (and maybe even ending) point for your RAM questions:
e GeIL PC-3200 Ultra Golden Dragon has a rather peculiar behaviour. It failed miserably with the more aggressive timings, e.g. 2-2-2-5 or 2-2-1-5. However, its performance at recommended timing (2-3-3-6 or 2.5-3-3-5) is good. Based on its design and timing, I would say the Golden Dragon is more suited towards P4 folks who work with high FSB and a slack timing. For the AMD users, you will be better off with Corsair, Mushkin, or OEM Winbond BH-5 module."
