The Asus U3 is certainly quite an unusual product. It approaches the 13.3in form factor quite differently to other manufactures, removing the optical drive but adding discrete and integrated graphics along with eSATA and GPS. In this sense it's very feature rich, and caters for a whole raft of niches not normally found on other notebooks. Whether this proves winning formula we'll just have to wait and see, and naturally you can tell us your thoughts in the forums.

Two weeks ago we looked at the Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB from Sapphire Technology and in preparation for the new ATI/AMD Linux display driver coming soon, today we are previewing the ASUS EAH2600PRO 256MB graphics card. This PCI Express graphics card has HDMI output support with HDCP compliance, OpenGL 2.0 support, and its core runs at 600MHz with a 1000MHz memory clock. Distinguishing this graphics card from the reference ATI Radeon HD 2600PRO is claims that this ASUS cooling solution is 20 degrees Celsius cooler than the reference model.

ASUS launches their third generation Black Pearl Edition motherboard with the ASUS P5K3 Premium. Packing its own low latency DDR3-1333 memory onboard, great cooling, extreme performance and overclocking plus everything else that comes with the regular P5K3 Deluxe, this you've got to see.

ASUS offers no fewer than 12 motherboards based around Intel's P35 chipset. We've already reviewed two, the P5K Deluxe and P5K3 Deluxe, and now we're checking out the P5K64 WS workstation board. This has four PEG slots but not enough lanes for four graphics cards to all run at full width.

ASUS R1F is by the specifications a combination of mobility and performance. While most of the Tablet PCs are targeting either users with specific needs or the ones who want an attention-grabbing computer, ASUS R1F seems to successfully hit both target markets.

In today's article, we are zeroing in on the ASUS GeForce 8800 Ultra, a card which turns out to be identical to the reference NVIDIA 8800 Ultra board. ASUS provides only the box, the bundle, and stickers. And that's it. By the way, in case you are still looking for a famous ASUS quality video card, please try to understand that there is nothing to pay extra money for.

Asus saw the need for an enthusiast-class motherboard based on the P35 chipset, but with a more flexible PCI Express configuration. And leveraging what they undoubtedly learned from designing the PW564-WS , engineered the Blitz Extreme and Blitz Formula motherboards, complete with a PCI Express switch that allowed them to connect the P35 Northbridge's PCI Express lanes to not one, but a pair of PEG slots. Asus didn't stop there, however, and also outfitted the Blitz boards with a hybrid air / liquid cooling apparatus and a number of other features that are sure to please.

Tweaking your graphics cards is now as simple as turning a knob with ASUS' OC Gear edition of the GeForce 8600 GT. We tried our hand at fiddling with this new product and here's what we found.

If you're after a solution that offers a high quality home theatre experience or want something for entry-level music production, the Xonar offers a strong package. With a comprehensive PDF manual (marred by the usual translation mistakes), Vista drivers and a thoughtful design, this is an impressive and capable card.

If you do not have a lot of space for a large sized monitor in your PC area, the ASUS PM17 is the perfect choice for an A+ product that excels in its class and price range. Having a 3ms response times makes it perfect for ghost free gaming, and its clarity is crisp and sharp with very clear text for writing or viewing articles on the internet.

Despite the fact that this is not a new product, it's still definitely worth reviewing. After the introduction of cards based off the NVIDIA 8800GTS GPU configured with 320MB of video memory, it has created a unique price segment of its own. It is a DirectX 10 compliant card that claims to offer strong performance in majority of today's games, while retaining a price of roughly $300 -- within the budget of semi-hardcore gamers that cannot spend $700 on the latest, most powerful graphics solution. Today, we'll take a look at Asus' version of the 8800GTS. What makes this card different from the rest? It comes at an affordable price, but also a bundle of a couple of games, and even a copy of Futuremark's 3DMark06 Professional full version. Let's take a look at what Asus has to offer us today, complete with our standard set of benchmarks.

There are numerous P35 boards available, so what does a company have to do to have an edge? Well, as far as ASUS is concerned, they should produce feature-packed boards that also come with many extras, including a game and 3D Mark 06. Oh... not to mention a water-cooled northbridge!

As GeForce 8800 GTX seems to have no rivals (RADEON HD 2900 XT is positioned a step lower), we continue to examine the fastest graphics cards for gamers. Today we'll examine a product from ASUS. Not a reference one, but significantly modified. The highlight of this product is its liquid cooling system from ThermalTake.
