Anyone with $400 to spend on a graphics card should currently be looking at a RADEON X800 XL. It boasts the same 16 pipelines as an X800 XT, and also packs 256MB of GDDR3 memory to boot.

A final price will decide the fate of this chipset. It needs to be well under $200 to compete.

Price drops for the X1800 GTO make this new card obsolete from the start.

Impressive performance for an affordable card, but the 9600 GT treads on its toes.

It had little competition at this price, and it knocks Nvidia 8600 cards out of the race, but Nvidia’s 9600 GT trumps it.

Performance, software and value that almost snatches away the A-List crown.

Potentially Much faster than a X1900 XTX in games with large textures yet it costs the same. At over $100 less than Nvidia’s 7950 GX2, it’s a fine card.

It was all looking good until Nvidia’s new cards overtook it on the final straight.

We’ve seen several manufacturers make use of FIC’s Spectra case before, but few have made such a good job of it as Pioneer.

Another big name brand PC gets a cutting-edge, all-format, high-def optical drive capable of playing Blu-ray and HD DVD.

Looks and feels good, but performance is more super Aguri than Scuderia.

A great combination of power, features and downright value.

The sweet taste of AM2, in the form of an ultraportable powerhouse.

With consumer PCs these days being as fast as the supercomputers of yesteryear, are dedicated workstations still relevant?

A decent multimedia notebook, but it’s not exciting enough for the price.

Impressive quality, considering the bargain basement price. We're talking sub $1000 here.

Right now, this is the best bargain to be had in the notebook world.

All the current chipsets from both the big gaming guns – ATi and Nvidia – tested, reviewed and rated.

Lacking in some areas, but punches above its weight where it counts.

Very powerful and, with few features missing, it’s good value at the price.
