While Intel is rolling out new designs, AMD's focus is on getting the most out of its existing Phenom II process. The AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black edition is just what the doctor ordered.

VIA has dominated the AMD arena the last couple of years, and its latest offering is the KT400 chipset, which despite its name, only officially handles DDR333 memory. Many boards however do have limited support for DDR400, as well as AGP 8x.

The A7N8X Deluxe features dual-LAN ports, which allows you to connect to a broadband service and share it without the need for a separate PCI network card.

Like the AK39N, the AB48N is a slightly smaller ATX board with two DIMMs, and does not come with SATA, although it does incorporate six-channel audio and 10/100 Ethernet.

For it's price, the 7NNXP has the usual set of features, and offers IDE RAID but no SATA RAID.

Compared with some other VIA KT400A boards, the Gigabyte 7VAXP Ultra is a little pricey; however it’s also the most feature-packed.

A capable card – decent performance without a high price.

The ATI HD 4800s hit a sweet-spot of performance and price. If you're after high-end performance at a few hundred dollars less than the 4870, then this is your card

A cheap card, with the bonus of reasonable gaming ability.

Not particulary quick, but a resonably priced media card.

I'm currently in the market for a new car. My 1977 Datsun 260Z, the current much-loved but abusive incumbent, has quite simply gone on the fritz one too many times (or ten too many if you listen to my friends and family). By the repair bill from the last few years, you'd be forgiven for thinking I owned a Collins class submarine.
