Week in Reviews

Certainly the big news in computers last week was the release of the new Intel Core 2 Quad processor. Another product launch got overshadowed by this news. ATI launched a new mid-range graphics card the Radeon X1650XT. It uses the same internal CrossFire technology as the previous release X1950 Pro but at a more reasonable price point. The only problem is that the new graphics card isn't available just yet with mid-November as the target date for availability.

This weeks list is extremely large due to these two product launches, but there are also a large number of other components that were reviewed as well. So, if you wish to check out some of these reviews continue on to see the list.
