PixelView GeForce FX5600 256MB:

The GFFX 5600 is a great budget board for people looking for good performance at a decent price. Guru3D looks at a 256MB version of the GFFX 5600 from Prolink. Surprisingly the added memory doesn’t add to the pricetag much. Have a look:

This product is about 25 bucks more expensive than the competition with a 256 MB model GeForce FX 5600. Bare in mind though that this one is equiiped with 3.3ns memory and has VIVO connectivity. If you do not want to spend heaps of money on a high-end graphics cards then we definitely recommend the product.

Canterwood Round-Up:

Nordic Hardware has has rounded up several i875P Canterwood mainboards for your viewing pleasure. Boards from ABIT, DFI, MSI and Gigabyte are all represented in the round-up giving you a pretty good idea which board offers what.

Intel's 875P chipset offers superb performance, which we have seen today, provided that it's paired together with a new 800MHz FSB processor. If one's aiming to get the fastest motherboard available, it has to be based on Canterwood.
