My news email account got screwy with me, so I don't have many reviews for the past week. There are also issues with image uploading and stuff, so uploads currently don't work. I'll have to fix that.
Biostar K8NHA Grand.
ATI X700 Pro/XT @ Hexus.
Corsair Twinx 5400 @ RBMods.

Biostar has embraced the AMD64 platform with motherboards and small form factors. We have looked at several of their boards. Today we look at their latest Athlon 64 board based on the nForce 3 250GB chipset. The K8NHA Grand builds on their previous nForce 3 boards. Let's take a look at the specs before we get into the review.
ATI X700 Pro/XT @ Hexus.

This article serves two purposes. We'll take a look at the new XT, paying close attention to its thermal characteristics before looking at performance, and I'll also publish some numbers and thoughts from that initial look at the PRO. It was only 5MHz away on the core clock from matching ATI's final set clocks, so while its results are gleaned using an older driver build that ATI aren't especially happy with, it'll serve as a nice reference point for when we get a final PRO board to look at.
Corsair Twinx 5400 @ RBMods.

Today we will have a look at our first pair of DDR2 memory that was sent to us by Corsair. We will have a drive and see how these perform against some normal DDR from Corsair and see what we can get after some overclocking. It will be interesting to see this high end memory in todays test so stay tuned.
