Fantastic, I love to watch videos online and this one is right up my alley.
FiringSquad had a tour of the Gigabyte factory in Taiwan. They have compiled the whole experience into a video for your viewing pleasure.
Watch the Gigabyte Factory tour at their website or download it and save it for later.
Gigabyte manufacture computer components, mostly motherboards and video cards, but other computer components as well.
Bigbruin takes a look at this set of DDR2 sticks from Transcend. They are actually two seperate sticks, and do not come in a single package. That being the case, you just buy two sticks.
They are shockingly unexciting, without any heatspreaders or any little lights. Just plain old black chips on green board.
Although their looks are nothing to write home about their performance is not half bad. In overclocking efforts done by bigbruin they managed to get them to overclock by about 20% without adding heatspreaders or making drastic adjustments. Just upping the voltage to keep things stable.
For a set of very plain looking sticks, these are worth a look at, especially if you like the old school look of memory cards.

This Leatek video card, based on the GeForce 7900 GS chipset comes with a pretty good set of extras and a good cooling solution.
Keeping the card cool and only spinning up enough to be heard when temperatures get quite high, Leadtek have done a good job at making this budget oriented card quiet. The cooler is reminiscent of a 6800 GT cooler.
The card comes with two games, Serious Sam 2 and Spell Force 2 as well as Cyberlink PowerDVD 6 and a utility CD. Also included is a DVI-to-VGA connector, S-video combi cable and a 6 pin PCIe power adapter.
Testing at bit-tech shows that the card places itself well amongst the other cards of the same type. There is very little difference between one card based on the 7900GS and another, the main difference comes in their cooling solutions and the extras that you get with the card.
The card itself has room for about a 33% overclock using the standard overclocking software that comes with the card. A pretty good card at a reasonable price.
