I swear one of these days we'll get around to doing a CPU review :) We've got stuff planned but this month is turning out to be very GPU intensive.
We tried to incorporate as many of your requests as possible, I hope you enjoy the review.
I saw Kill Bill btw; I liked the movie, it was very gory and it made me want to watch something funny or happy afterwards, but I still thought it was a good movie. Be warned if you can't stomach blood though, it's not too realistic but there's a lot of it :)
Take care.

Great site, except I can't find a link to reviews of displays...?Anonymous - Sunday, October 19, 2003 - link
Wow, The Matrix Online is going to cost you 50$ to buy and also they make you pay a monthly subscription fee.... So, I don't know about any of you, but paying 50$ for an online only game and then making me pay additionally monthly is gonna scratch that game off my list.The most obvious reason why is, when you have to pay for a game online and you don't manage to get enough time to play it monthly you lose your money basically. I mean it could be appealing for kids who don't have any responsiblities. But managing college and a job is not gonna let me play this much.
Additional note this game has a revolutionary engine which adapts to your video card and future video cards.
So anyone agree with me with this monthly pay thing? Which would make a 50$ game end up being thousands over years

Good points, all I want in a video card is at least 128mb memory and 8 pipelinesGTaudiophile - Saturday, October 18, 2003 - link
We'll find out more about the FX5950 and FX5700 this week. Anand already benched the 5950 in his Radeon 9800XT review, and the XT still comes out on top in most situations. I still argue that nVidia has issues with its PS2.0 shaders, and although the 52.XX drivers help, they are nothing but optimizations, a work around for their inferior hardware.The FX5700 may be a different story, though, as it's rumored to be a totally new core. It's possible the FX5700 will best the 9600XT unless ATi or their OEMs ship it with faster memory.

Hmm, maybe I will consider the pro because its the only card with true 8x 8pipline rendering. What if the 5950 proves to be the best?GTaudiophile - Saturday, October 18, 2003 - link
I personally do not OC either, but it is not as difficult as it sounds. Actually, I do OC my videocard through PowerStrip.The 9800XT is not worth the price premium for like 1-5% improvement in performance. A PRO is fine.

#21what about the 9800XT? And #20 i said I'm not an overclocker so whatever speed I get I stick with. Its too risky to overclock especially since I've never done it before. Too many problems I do not want to get into.GTaudiophile - Saturday, October 18, 2003 - link
Instead of spending the $200 difference on 200-400Mhz of CPU, you'd be much better off getting a Radeon 9800 PRO to replace the 9600 PRO I recommended.Luagsch - Friday, October 17, 2003 - link
#19: BTX won't be out for over a half a year or more. and when BTX is coming there will still be ATX around (the transition will take some time). also lots of mobos for the p4c will support prescotts (check them out)....and o/c that p4c 2,6...
