There will be several iterations of the Voodoo4/5, each with a different number of VSA-100 chips, ranging from one to four running in SLI (Scan Line Interleave). The Voodoo5 5500 features two VSA-100 chips and has a total of 64Mb of 166MHz SDRAM, although both chips require their own texture memory, so some of the RAM is shared.

AMD’s next generation of CPUs brings 45nm technology and higher clock speeds - but is that enough to compete with Intel’s latest and greatest?

The move to a new platform brings credible new challengers to Intel’s Core 2 processors

Everything you need to know about AM2 -- without the headache.

A diverse family including some stellar CPUs and numerous also-rans.

A diverse family including some stellar CPUs and numerous also-rans

Your PC is only as good as your last upgrade, and this is truer than ever with current gaming and software applications milking machines for everything they're worth.

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.

ATI is the current market leader in graphics chips, and offers four varieties of DirectX 9-capable video cards; these are the company's most sophisticated products when it comes to 3D rendering.

A welcome update to the Sound Blaster that can deliver perceptibly better audio than onboard chips, but it goes beyond most people’s needs for PC audio.

Designed from the ground up with gamers in mind, GameVision has produced a fine looking and practical system with plenty of potential. The system is built around Intel’s now legendary 2.4GHz Pentium 4 ’C’ stepping processor, one of the most overclockable chips available on the market. With substantiated overclocks of up to 3.6GHz with stock air-cooling, these unassuming CPUs are powerhouses of frequency, if you know how to milk the most from them.

When we think of SiS graphics, we usually think of low cost, low-end cards or integrated offerings for the entry-level 2D market, with the possibility of some rudimentary 3D capabilities thrown in.

The KYRO II chipset differs significantly from the other solutions on the market. It uses a technology known as tile-based rendering to achieve peak performance, rather then the brute force solutions employed by competing chips.

An old standard, but one that still provides decent performance at a great price.

The nForce2 is the only dual-channel memory controller available in the AMD pantheon. There are two Northbridges to choose from: one with the Integrated GeForce4 MX-class graphics (nForce2 GT) and one without (nForce2 ST). Both offer support for AGP 8x and up to DDR400 memory, although we recommend you use DDR266 or DDR333 memory in synchronous mode (DDR266 for chips with a 266MHz FSB, DDR333 for those with a 333MHz FSB) for best performance.

Intel’s new range of desktop processors has been a long time coming, but at last it’s arrived - and it leaves all others in the dust

Sony's first CMOS based consumer HD camera brings control and fidelity to images in a package that's hard to beat.

With CrossFire performance more erratic than SLI, and NVIDIA outgunning ATI with its Shader Model 3 cards, it's hard to recommend this board.

Gateway has made a habit recently of bolstering its offerings in the sub-$2,000 space and this latest model is certainly no exception.

The attraction is immediate when you cradle the contoured shell in your hand. Everything is rounded - no hard edges, the control buttons are sparse and round and the LCD is elliptical.
