Gainward CoolFX Powerpack! Ultra/2600
There's a performance increase to be had from the Ultra/2600 CoolFX, but unless the price differential drops to within L100 of the air-cooled board, the Ultra/2600 CoolFX is hard to recommend. Undoubtedly the fastest unmodified consumer graphics card in the world in quite a few scenarios, but not far enough away from boards like the X800 PRO, XT PE and other 6800-based cards to be attractive, given the price.

Sony DRU-700A review
Sonys DRU-700A is a superb first generation dual layer DVD ReWritable drive. It can burn the ultra-high capacity dual layer discs with ease, but is also lightning fast at burning both DVD+R and DVD-R media, and is a very solid performer in the CD-RW/DVD-ROM areas as well. The drive is quick, quiet, comes with a decent software bundle, and black or white faceplates, so aesthetics should not be an issue.

GeForce 6800 finally goes mainstream
Nvidia has finally revealed the specifications for its standard GeForce 6800 graphics card. The GeForce 6800 comes in at a $299 price point--with a 12-pixel pipe clocked at 325MHz and 128MB of memory clocked at 700MHz. The new card is a single-slot solution and requires a single-Molex power connector. The pricier GeForce 6800 Ultra and GT cards both have 16-pixel pipe engines and feature 256MB of memory. The $399 single-slot GeForce 6800 GT has a 350MHz core clock and a 1GHz memory clock. The $499 Ultra edition has a faster, 400MHz core clock and memory clocked at 1.1GHz, but it also uses a double-height cooling unit that protrudes into an adjacent card slot. According to Nvidia, GeForce 6800 card manufacturers should begin shipments sometime next week.

Ironically, the ATI X800XT will be clocked at 500/500 MHz. X800 XT PE, Platinum edition is a 525MHz card with 560MHz memory and will ship at the end of June or early July and the X800 PRO is already in the market and it's clocked at 475MHz core and 900MHz memory.
