PowerColor Radeon X800Pro ViVo:

InsaneTek has a down and dirty one page review of the PowerColor Radeon X800Pro ViVo. PowerColor has made a name for themselves by offering basically a reference card for a lower price point than other manufacturers so if cost is an issue, this card will definitely appeal to you.

Mushkin seems to have a sure winner on its hands with a low latency memory setup for those wanting max system performance.

First Person Treadmill?

Here is one for all you couch potatoes…the FPGamerunner. While this is not even close to a new idea (see our exercise bike version from 5yrs ago below), it is fun to look at. There is a video showing it working but I’m not sure if that is actual game play or the guy just walking along to a pre-recorded demo.

Blame Mark Jacobson for reminding us we even had an exercise bike version of this here in the underground bunker years ago.
