Regardless of the fact that it's stuck half way between value and performance, it's still a good card.

It’s the best-value graphics card for those playing games at 1280 x 1024.

There is only one card in this picture. No, really. Okay, let’s discuss this.

Another big performer this month, the L17AS was unlucky not to have received an award for excellence.

Where XFX rose early with the DirectX 8 tests and dropped off in the DirectX 9.0 tests, this card did the exact opposite - it jumped up five places to the middle of the pack in 3DMark05.

The 'Ti4800SE' tag of Albatron's graphics card doesn't signify that it's a superior extension of the GeForce4 Ti4600 – in fact, it's really just an NV28 (the AGP 8x of the GeForce4 Ti) version of NVIDIA's Ti4400, coupled with a slightly increased core clock speed.

Albatron's offering to the 865P family is bursting at the seams with features. SATA and IDE RAID, eight-channel audio, FireWire, dual-channel DDR, USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet.

Aztec’s PC is a very different take on our $4000 PC A-List challenge.

Lack of power and features make it one to avoid, despite the price.

AOpen began its run to glory by topping our 3DMark01 tests with an impressive 14,977 marks in the default resolution with four samples of full-scene anti aliasing.

Thou shall not cast the name 'Zeus' around with careless abandon, unlesseth one can backeth up claims of PC godliness.

It’s one of the facts of the gaming hobbyist’s life: cutting edge games require cutting edge hardware. It’s as set in stone as Moore’s Law (which is itself now 40 years old). Every 12 to 18 months you need to upgrade or get left behind. Our contenders this month make a very good case for starting with a clean slate, and none more so than this month’s winner, the Modtech Civic-64FX.

A little lacking in the feature department, the P4G8X Deluxe is lean in some big areas. Short 800MHz, DDR400 or DDR333 support, its biggest selling points are its BlueMagic PCI slot, inclusion of PC-cillin antivirus software, and ASUS PC Probe for system monitoring.

The Flatron 1710B scores well at specifications thanks to its video and USB connectors: its performance in the clarity tests was excellent, despite the smaller viewing angles.

Poor performer but worth a look if building a media centre.
