The Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D is a PCI Express graphics card that is fully SLI compatible, which makes it suitable for those looking for SLI on a budget with a dual GeForce 6600 GT setup. With the prices of such cards getting more attractive with each passing day, the Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D may not be the fastest or cheapest GeForce 6600 GT around, but with its competitive bundle and price, it is likely to hold its own even in a crowded market.

G-Power Pro is one of the best air CPU coolers I have ever come across, both in performance and design. It is definitely one of the easiest CPU coolers to install as it works with all the different socket type's stock retention modules. With the use of the suburb sintered power wick heatpipes, G-Power Pro's performance is simply amazing at all fan speeds. For anyone looking for an easy to install and great performing CPU cooler, the Giga-Byte G-Power Pro Universal Cooler should be seriously considered.

Blessed with the fastest graphics processor now - the ATI RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition, our initial impression of the Gigabyte GV-RX85X256V-B was that it looked like an exact replica of ATI's reference design. Find out whether our thoughts were right and what else you get in the package...

GigaByte's GA 8N-SLI is a pretty good performer in all kinds of tests. We're also happy with the board's packaging- those SATA cables that lock into the port and device are great. Overclocking wasn't that great on the 8N-SLI even though Gigabyte provided plenty of options. However, that's a general case with Gigabyte boards and we don't think they focus too much on overclocking. Feature-wise, Gigabyte has packed a reasonable number of onboard options such as an extra RAID controller, an additional Gigabit Controller and a Bluetooth dongle...

Overall, the Gigabyte's GA-8I955X Royal provided a strong debut for their Intel 955X Express lineup with a very desirable feature set. Overclockers would definitely be happy with the potential displayed too, but bear in mind that the higher memory timings may have helped it maintain stability in this area. The Gigabyte GA-8I955X Royal has already begun trickling out into retail channels and users can expect to fork out between a range of US$230-240 for a spanking new board.

Regarding the 8I955X-Royal, Gigabyte certainly has a board that's big on features and great on stability. We thought that the performance was a bit lacking in some areas and overclocking wasn't as great as we've experienced with other boards in the past. That is pretty much in a nutshell what this board is about. Basically, if you're planning on building a system that might act like a server with tons of storage devices, then we would certainly recommend the 8I955X-Royal as it seems like a reasonable solution to keep your data safe.

Gigabyte's GO-W1616A dual-layer DVD burner shows off a good mix of performance and ease of use. With the drive only 17cm in length, users with cramped/SFF cases should be able to install the GO-W1616A easily. Additionally, during operation the drive was very quiet and did not produce much vibration either.

One of the most interesting features of the nForce 4 SLi Intel Edition is that it has native support for 667MHz DDR2 memory. This is not yet a ratified standard, but Corsair is already offering memory which will run at this speed and faster. The new Twin2X CM2X512A-5400UL modules we were sent to test the GA-8N-SLi Royal with worked flawlessly at 667MHz on a 1066MHz bus with a 3.73GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition CPU.

Overclocking wise, I was able to bring the Gigabyte board up to 301MHz without the DPS installed and 308MHz with, using a 570J ES at 14X multiplier, Crucial Ballistix memory and the retail 570J air cooler, all powered by a Tagan TG480-U01. Pair that with a great bundle, performance that marginally beats the ASUS, presentation to befit a £150 mainboard and features that you'll struggle to make full use of, such are their number, and you have a board that's hard for me to say a bad thing about...

The Gigabyte AirCruiser GN-BC01 is a flexible home routing and Internet sharing solution which just happens to go on the inside of your computer rather than the outside. Apart from this wrinkle, it's an excellent networking product with the best potential coverage of any 802.11g router we've yet tested. Another area it shines is in file transfer speed and its range of uncommon (for a home routing product) features.

In the end, the GeForce 6600 GT SLI proposition doesn't seem very convincing unless you are a serious workaholic who requires more than two monitors to multitask (with dual graphics cards, you can have up to four monitors in the Windows environment), as well the need for gaming power somewhat equivalent of a GeForce 6800 GT to reward yourself after a hard day's work. In this case, the GeForce 6600 GT SLI combo gives you the best of both worlds as an affordable quad-monitor setup (minus the displays themselves) and packs a fair bit of firepower too.

The NVIDIA nForce4 SLI Intel Edition has finally arrived. As one of the first retail boards, the Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Royal comes loaded and introduces new technologies for the Intel platform. In our extensive review, we found out that a generous dose of performance never hurt anyone either.

Gigabyte has tried to create a motherboard that takes the forward-thinking approach of Socket-T and marries it with established Springdale technology. The end result is a hybrid board, unimaginatively named 8IPE775-G, that will last as long as Socket-T is around. It's also priced at a wallet-friendly £60 and makes use of regular DDR1 RAM and AGP-powered graphics cards, thus making the jump to LGA775 a palatable one for most.

The Gigabyte GV-RX80L256V videocard on the test bench today is a silent videocard; a unique thing for any product wearing a "Radeon" name, but there it is - not a single fan. This brand-new videocard is built from the ground up around the ATI X800 XL VPU, which is nicely hidden behind a complicated heatpipe-based passive cooling system. The X800 XL VPU has been matched with 256MB of GDDR3 RAM. The memory hums along at a full 1 GHz speed on a 256-bit wide memory controller. The GV-RX80L256V also supports TV/S-Video output as well as component out for HDTV applications.

Overall, the G-Max N203 is a jack of all trades. It definitely has the processing power to handle serious office applications with its 1.6GHz Pentium M processor (though a memory upgrade from the default 256MB would be recommended) and it works well as an entertainment PC with its DVD drive and adequate battery life. Since the N203 is new to the North American market, check with your local dealers for pricing.
