- Diamond Viper Radeon HD 4850
- As a standalone 3D graphics card, and depending on the game, AMD's new $199 ATI Radeon HD 4850 is very competitive with Nvidia's $229 GeForce 9800 GTX+. What's potentially more exciting is that the 4850 also seems to scale better in dual-card Crossfire mode than anything Nvidia has for the...

- Too littleI've bought AMD CPUs in the past, but they lost their edge with Intel's release of Core 2. AMD has yet to recover. I just don't see myself going AMD to save $50. Frankly, $100 won't move me when I consider I will keep a new...

- The touch interface has arrived on smartphones, thanks largely to the iPhone. But it hasn't found much mainstream success on the PC despite years of trying.

Earlier this year, we bemoaned the blase styling of the Affinity 7308Ma, and although this new $800 Affinity 7334Ma looks just as generic, it still offers a robust set of components including...
