HWZ review: Shuttle MN31N (NVIDIA nForce2 IGP) "The motherboard had near excellent layout and yet offered some of the connectivity options associated with full-fledged boards based on this platform. Performance wise, the Shuttle MN31N didn’t let us down either as throughout our benchmark suite, it rivaled all other nForce2-GT platform motherboards. The Shuttle MN31N is also one of the rare motherboards with dual VGA outputs and that is really cool to have without purchasing stand-alone graphics card for dual-head display."Read more at HardwareZone.

Gigabyte Radeon 9600 Pro GV-R96P128D Review @ Techseekers "Well ATI are discontinuing the 9500 Pro, and placing the 9600 Pro at a cheaper price point. Doing a quick search around some European shops, in places I could find the 9600 Pro ˆ50 to ˆ60 cheaper than the 9500 Pro. That’s quite a saving. It is impressive for ATI’s first 0.13 micron process and it does run a lot cooler than the older 9500 pro. It is overclocking friendly so you may be able to squeeze 9500 Pro performance from the 9600 Pro, especially easy with the Gigabyte as it includes the V-Tuner."Read more at Techseekers.
