We’re not nearly as impressed with the gaming performance of the architecture’s cheaper cousin, the Radeon HD 3850. </p> <p>Click Read More for more.  </p> <p><a href="http://www.maximumpc.com/article/amd_radeon_hd_3850">read more</a></p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/amd_radeon_hd_3850#comments Hardware February 2008 Reviews From the Magazine 3850 amd build a pc direct x 10.1 pci express 2.0 radeon reviews Video cards 2008 Videocards Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:24:37 -0600 Michael Brown 1740 at http://www.maximumpc.com http://www.maximumpc.com/article/white_paper_pci_express_2_0 <!--paging_filter--><p>The PCI Express 2.0 spec was finalized one year ago this month, and we're finally seeing hardware designed for it.

Asus’s spanking-fast P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n mobo, which uses the enthusiast-oriented X38 chipset. The X38’s main highlights are apparently useful DDR3 support and PCI Express 2.0 support. We say “apparently” in reference to DDR3 because we didn’t have a DDR2 version of the board for a direct comparison, but from our tests, the X38 with DDR3 is a winning combination. Also good to have but not a proven performance boost yet is PCI-E 2.0, which doubles the bandwidth of PCI-E 1.0 from 8GB/s to 16GB/s. But does PCI-E 2.0 matter? </p> <p>Click Read More for more.  </p> <p><a href="http://www.maximumpc.com/article/asus_p5e3_deluxe_wi_fi_ap">read more</a></p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/asus_p5e3_deluxe_wi_fi_ap#comments Hardware January 2008 Reviews Motherboards From the Magazine asus ASUS P5E3 ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Wi-Fi bearlake build a pc DDR3 Gordon mobo motherboard pci express 2.0 Review 2008 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 18:18:12 -0600 Gordon Mah Ung 1662 at http://www.maximumpc.com
