Dell Ditching Proprietary Parts

One of the best arguments for building your own PCs is that you make the decisions regarding parts, which means you don't have to scrap the whole system or buy sub-standard hardware from the manufacturer when it is time to upgrade. This is especially true for gaming rigs. Dell, one of the biggest offenders when it comes to this issue, has announced that proprietary parts like power supplies and motherboards will be a thing of the past. More »

Shuttle SXDi: Water-cooled PC with CrossFire and Flames

This is the new Shuttle SDXi and although it's a variation of the XPC, it's also one BMF. It comes loaded for speed with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2 GBytes Crucial Ballistix RAM and a 10.000rpm Western Digital Raptor hard drive. But more importantly, the painted flames on the sides are guaranteed to make it run even faster. Or something like that. More »

ATI's Radeon X2800XT Brings Heavy Horsepower to Apple's Next Gen Mac Pros

So if the guys at AppleInsider are on the money, ATI's abnormally long X2800XT could be the graphics card to power Apple's rumored next gen Mac Pros.

The card will also bring CrossFire technology to the Mac, so you'll be able to string two of these suckers together for maximum voltage. It's about time we get some heavy duty card options for the Mac. Better start saving now, though, as I'm sure this config won't come cheap. More »

Sapphire's Godfather Makes Quad Crossfire a Reality

Sapphire scored some major bragging points this morning by demoing a dual-GPU Radeon X1950 Pro board it's calling, the Godfather. The card runs on a single x16 PCI-Express slot and provides the kind of performance you'd get from running two X1950 cards in Crossfire mode. What's interesting about the Godfather, however, is that it can be paired with another Godfather letting gamers create their own power-hungry Quad Crossfire systems. Chances are you're better off splurging on a single high-end card, but if Quad Crossfire gets your juices flowing, the Godfather is expected to debut in early 2007. More »

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro: CrossFire for the Mid-Range

Starting at $199, the X1950 has ATI's CrossFire technology so you can enable CrossFire without using an actual CrossFire Edition card. More »
