Gateway FX6800-05 review : Intel 80GB SSD, i7 940, plus ATI 4870 X2’s gaming rig
By Daniel Lim on Friday, Feb 20th 2009 6 CommentsGateway’s FX6800-01e was the first i7, Nehalem, Quad-Core processor PC we tested, and its performance boost over the previous Core 2 architecture was obvious. That was the company’s lowest FX-series rig with Nehalem/Bloomfield; today we have the highest model in the FX-series, the FX-6800-05 desktop, to review. Gateway’s ultimate gaming rig sports high end components built upon the Intel’s i7-940 2.93Ghz, ATI Radeon 4870 X2 graphics, 6GB of DDR3 memory, and last but by no means least, an ultra-fast Intel X25-M 80GB SSD. All that will cost you around $3000 retail, so the big question is whether this Gateway is worth the asking price?
Fujitsu AMILO Sa 3650: new driver will boost notebook graphics too
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Feb 5th 2009 No CommentsFujitsu’s AMILO Sa 3650 notebook has a clever solution to the ultraportable graphics problem: an separate video card, the External Graphics Processor (XGP), that can be plugged in for a pleasant burst of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 with 512MB memory. Thing is, they also dropped the ball in making the XGP only work with external displays. Handy when you’re at your desk, but useless if you want to crunch some video while on the move. Thankfully the company is now preparing to release a driver that will let you access the boosted graphics performance on the Sa 3650’s own 13.3-inch display.
