ASUS Mars GTX 295 SLI with 8GB RAM + Far Cry 2160p @ TweakTown
Published: Thursday, June 4, 2009 | By: WillComputex 2009 is going strong, and Ninjalane is loving this year the most. By the way the looks of it are going so is everyone else hitting the show.
"Computex Taipei 2009: When you visit a company at a trade show like Computex, there is always one truly standout product for us and for ASUS this year out in Nangang it was its Mars GTX 295 demo.
What's special about the ASUS Mars GTX 295? Well for starters each is a limited edition and labeled as such and each comes with a massive 4GB of onboard video memory. Double them up in SLI and of course you have 8GB of video memory which is much more than the average user has of actual system memory."Can you say OVERKILL MUCH!

Asus Maximus II Gene @ Bjorn3D
Published: Thursday, June 4, 2009 | By: WillLooks like everybody is getting onboard with a Micro-ATX board that can beat any big boy boards. Asus has just kicked another one of these beasts out for everyone to enjoy. Let's see how the guys reviewing like it.
The Micro-ATX boards wiht huge features are all the rage, and Asus looks to have one awesome beast on there hands. Let's see what the guys reviewing it thinksSince the introduction of Intel's new Core i7 CPU's, we were all amazed at its performance it offered us. At the same time we were all shocked at the cost it would cost us to upgrade to this newer standard, ranging anywhere from 800-1200 USD at a minimum. With the cost of this new CPU standard in mind, lot of people decided to hold on to there Intel socket 775 platforms, which still proven to be a good solid platform for gaming and anything we saw fit for the use of our computers with out the large expense of moving to a entirely new CPU socket and motherboards, including memory.
With all of this in mind, it is good to see manufacturers like ASUS still working hard on improving the Intel socket 775 CPU's. Like its bigger brother the ASUS Rampage II GENE motherboard, the Asus Maximus II GENE motherboard is a micro ATX form factor, but with a couple of difference's, the Maximus II GENE motherboard supports the Intel socket 775 CPU's, dual channel DDR2 memory, and it uses the P45 Eaglelake chipset, paired up with a ICH10R south bridge, with a few extra's added we seen with the Rampage II GENE motherboard.I will admit I want one real bad! That ugly addiction just keeps coming back.

AMD Athlon II X2 250 and AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition @ InsideHW
Published: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 | By: WillHere is the newer dual core line up for AMD. On the lower end of things these look to be pretty powerful beasts.
"AMD decided to surprise us this summer with new generation of dual core CPU. Goal is, obviously, to take key positions in mainstream segment and to pull the rug out from under Intel's feet. One thing is for sure: K10 cores are starting to dominate in every segment of AMD product lineup. This is very good news for all users that own an AMD Socket AM2 motherboards because new CPUs present themselves as easy and cheap upgrade solution compared to older Brisbane and Windsor models. It is obvious that there is a lot of hidden potentials in new AMD 45nm manufacturing process. As illustration of this statement we will tell you that new dual core CPUs can be easily overclocked up to 4GHz while stability won't be jeopardized in any way..."
Is it an addiction to want all the new hardware?

Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition @ Techgage
Published: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 | By: WillIntel has just dropped out some new highend beasts for the Core i7 platform. Looks like Intel is going for the highend and AMD is going for lower end.
"It's been a good seven months since the launch of the original Core i7 processors, so isn't it about time we got to see some new models? Don't fret, as Intel has just announced their i7-950 3.06GHz mid-range and i7-975 3.33GHz high-end models. We're taking a look at the latter today, so let's see how it compares to its predecessor."
Wow if only I had unlimited funds.

Intel's wall of P55 Express mobos caught on video @ TweakTown
Published: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 | By: WillComputex 2009 is going on right now, and the buzz is starting on the Core i5 processors. So here is a video of a quick look over a bunch of P55 motherboards.
"Computex Taipei 2009: We made a stop at the Intel booth out at Nangang earlier today and what got our attention was its wall of P55 Express based motherboards for the upcoming Lynnfield "Core i5" processors, if they'll even end up being called that.
We asked Intel to give us a rundown of P55 and the partner boards on display, but it seemed like they were all too scared to talk us. I guess Intel has too many rules when it comes to talking to media. That was a bit of a shame, but we managed to produce a short video of the mobo wall and you get a look at a range of upcoming boards from the likes of ASUS, GIGABYTE, DFI, MSI and so on."Enjoy!
