The LegitReviews gang is trying to see just how much juice one rig can pull with this Tri-SLi 9800GTX review. Looks real crowded in that first shot, doesn't it?

"Actually, with a street price of $289 plus shipping buying the graphics cards will only set you back $867. This sounds like a large amount, but keep in mind a single GeForce 8800 Ultra cost $829 when it launched back in early 2007."

ExpReview's got an english summary along with three photos lifted from PCOnline of the upcoming integrated graphics board from AMD. The 790GX has its own on-board memory module for what they're reporting is the HD3300 graphics core.

Meanwhile, the HardwareSecrets crew have posted a five-page in-depth preview of the ASUS take on the nForce 780a, the M3N-HT Deluxe. The board even sports an integrated heatpipe memory cooling attachment.

The Pro-Clockers crew have included four different brands of DDR3 in their roundup. As DDR3 boards start to be more widely available, this should give you an idea of what's available in the 1800MHz range.

"I will take some of the fastest DDR3 modules on the market and see how high I can get them to overclock. We are taking four sets of the highest quality DDR3 that are advertised at least 1800MHz from their respective manufacturers."

The guys at HotHardware are doing a forums-based give away for a full Phenom-based rig that comes with a 3870 X2 & custom-painted case. Just fill out the contest form to be entered into this month's Gamepyre contest for a chance at one of a pair of eVGA nForce 750i SLi boards. Finally, you can fill out an eerily similar contest form ;) over at Motherboards.org to drop your name in the hat for a pair of XFX 8800GS video cards.

Those should whet your freebie appetite for a bit.

Blockbuster's looking to release an STB to compete with the likes of the AppleTV. According to the article, Netflix is also working on such a box in conjunction with LG. Renting movies on discs may be set to hit the history books...

"The product would be an offshoot of Movielink, the online film service Blockbuster acquired last year that allows consumers to watch films licensed from the major studios on their PCs."

Yes, Jen-Hsun actually said "whoop-ass." The chances that nVidia was just going to sit back on its laurels and wait for Intel to make their recent big moves in the graphics market are slim & none, & slim just left town. Also see this DailyTech story for more details on nVidia's APX 2500 Mobile HD Platform, something they're calling, "the world's smallest visual computer." It's like an SoC for mobile devices, really.
