Latest Net Reviews (6/11/03)

Fairly large list of reviews posted out on the net today. One of the interesting reviews is from Beyond3D on the Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Fireblade video card. Most of the video card reviews out there focus on the high-end or low-end and fail to show the performance of the middle cards which tend to be the best sellers for the companies. I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro on order and plan to review it in the coming weeks. It isn't the Fireblade edition, but I hope to test its overclocking ability.
