It's been a while since we released a new review.
We had some server issues, and some of us some personal/family issues to take care of, but now we're back in action and ready to rock ( hopefully at a 10 pages per day rate ).

Today we're going to show you a fully fledged review of Asus's top P45 Express Chipset offering, the P5Q3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n.
Equipped with Intel's latest ( and last ) chipset for the LGA775 platform, DDR3 memory & CrossFire and CrossFire-X support and a pack of useful ( and some not so useful ) features and peripherals the Asus P5Q3 Deluxe seems to be a perfect solution for everyone's daily rig.

It comes at a reasonably good price, and will more than likely fulfill all your needs, it has 9 SATA II Ports ( 8 internal, 1 external [ e-SATA ] ), 4 PCI-Express 16x slots, 2 PCI Slots for your "legacy" expansion cards, a draft-n Wireless Adapter, Asus's latest 6-engine EPU ( Energy Processing Unit ) for better power saving, and a wide range ( and stable ) of voltages to satisfy your overclocking needs.

BenchZone proudly presents to you the Asus Striker II Extreme review.
The Asus Striker II Extreme is Asus's newest R.O.G. series motherboard utilizing nVIDIA's latest nFORCE chipset, the nFORCE 790i Ultra SLI.
The nFORCE 790i Ultra SLI chipset features DDR3 memory support, 2-way, 3-way and Quad-SLI for Intel's LGA775 platform.
The Striker II Extreme features a fully fledged BIOS with a enormous amount of settings, very good DDR3 memory overclocking capabilities, decent FSB overclocking capabilities and very good performance ( clock per clock ).
Like every "Republic Of Gamers" motherboard comes with lots of "goodies", a external LCD Poster monitor to troubleshoot your system if you're having problems POSTing, a illuminated I/O Shield, a led lit R.O.G. logo on the NorthBridge heatsink, the Fusion Block System / NorthBridge WaterBlock, a EPU for "optimized" power regulation & saving, quick power on / reset / clear CMOS buttons on board.

As usual, we performed several tests and checked out every feature of the new board, and also set up 2 systems to compare this motherboard with the Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard, and the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 motherboard.

A bit late ( or not ) to the party or not, the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 is a decent budget LGA775 motherboard that deserves your attention if you're looking for a stable, user-friendly, and easily overclockable motherboard to play along with your new Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processor.

We tested it in both stock & overclocked conditions and compared it with the brand new Asus Striker II Extreme 790i Ultra SLI motherboard, and our trusty Asus P5K3 Deluxe.

BenchZone proudly presents to you the review/article about 3D Mark Vantage, FutureMark's newest addition to the 3D Mark Series benchmarks.

The new installment features several new tests and for the first time, their brand new engine, with native DirectX 10 support. To be precise it's a DirectX 10 only benchmark, so you need a DirectX 10 compliant graphics card to run it, and of course Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system.

We tested various graphics cards, and different processors to see what we could score in FutureMark's new "toy" ( for the overclockers & gamers ).

We also take it a step further and explored ( tested ) how the benchmark's scores change by adding more CPU Cores to our system or overclocking our CPU.

We've everything you could ask for inside, videos, screenshots, lots of scores, comparisons for gamers & extreme overclockers. RAM Timings influence tests, CPU Core Count tests and more!

So, go ahead and read the review now!

Yesterday FutureMark has published some information regarding their latest installment of the 3D Mark Series, the soon to be released "3D Mark Vantage".
There's a count-down at FutureMark's website for the public release date/time for 3D Mark Vantage, and the day & time of release is April 28th at 16:00 EET ( Finnish time ) [ 6AM PCT ].

We're currently running several tests with various configurations and 3D Mark Vantage, and we should have a article/review of 3D Mark Vantage right on time with it's release.

Stay tuned!

I've just got some newer information regarding the release date of GT200 based cards.
It seems that nVIDIA is going to release the GT200 high end part in mid-June.

That's not 100% confirmed folks, but that's how things look right now.
I will try to get a confirmation on this from a second source in the industry.
