Is AMD's New 2D Acceleration Architecture Still Slow? @ PCSTATS
"Last week we examined the ATI Radeon HD 4250 integrated graphics performance found with the AMD 880G chipset introduced a few months back. We found the performance of the 880G IGP to be not that different from the higher-end AMD 890GX chipset when using the proprietary Catalyst driver, but today we are looking more at the 880G chipset a...

the Norco RPC-4020 4U @ PCSTATS
"The In Win Dragon Slayer is a pure joy to build with. For the size of the case, there is a lot of room to work with and the design does very well keeping the components temperatures down. In reviewing the chassis, I could not really find anything that I did not like about the design and operation. It is a solid, well made case that does what it is... [PCSTATS]

ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe @ PCSTATS

After playing for a bit, I pulled up the in-game FPS counter and surprisingly, I was able to run the game at ... [PCSTATS]
