Test Drive 6
Graphics showdown comes to Vista on an Intel Core 2 duo system WE SIMPLY cannot get enough of Vista. We are spending a lot of time with this still-unfinished operating system in order to give you as many impressions about it as possible. We are heading for a dead end as the Vole still doesn't want to give us a key to further unlock its mysteries but our copy will work for a week or so before it shuts itself down. This time we wanted to give roughly equal Nvidia and ATI cards a try on Vista. We changed our test machine to an Intel Core 2 duo 6700, the only dual core we have in lab. EVGA was kind enough to give us the Nforce 680i motherboard and we decided to use the Radeon X1950 XTX and the fastest single-core Nvidia 7900 GTX card. We simply cannot get the drivers for Geforce 8800 GTX or GTS. There is definitely something fishy going on with that card on the Vole's latest OS.

But things slid downhill quickly. The Mounties won the toss, the only thing they won all day, and deferred taking the ball until the second half. Central Mass. champion Holy Name took the kickoff and needed only four offensive plays to get on the board. Emil Igwenagu scored the first of his four touchdowns on a 41-yard scamper through the Greylock defense, as the defending Super Bowl champions finished with a perfect 12-0 record and cruised to an impressive 36-8 win over the Mounties yesterday at Coughlin Stadium on the Worcester State College campus.

Xbox 360 Review - 'Need for Speed: Carbon' In a crowded launch lineup that featured three solid racing games, Need for Speed: Most Wanted for the Xbox 360 was a surprising breath of fresh air. I had expected little more than a gussied-up port of the Xbox version, but what I got was an excellent port that featured enhancements to both the graphics and gameplay alike. It was the less-rigid, arcade-style alternative to Project Gotham Racing 3, and the more-exciting, less-repetitive substitute for Ridge Racer 6. Nearly a year has passed since the launch of the Xbox 360, and the racing market is more crowded than ever. In the last several months, we have seen the brilliant port of Burnout Revenge, not to mention the unique Test Drive Unlimited, a casual cruiser that brings commerce and community into the fray. A number of other titles, including Full Auto and MotoGP 06, have taken the basic racing mold in other directions with varying amounts of success.

Asus EAX1950PRO faces the HIS IceQ 3 X1950PRO overclocker ASUS and HIS X1950PRO cards made it ways to our lab and despite all the testing we are doing with Vista graphics, memory, G80 and Quad FX madness we squeezed in some time for these two cards. Before we even begin we have to say that the cards are not in the same category, as the Asus is close to a reference design and is much cheaper while the HIS offering is a high-performance, overclocked card that will cost a bit more. We compared them together just to give you a picture what will happen if you pick one or the other. The Asus card uses a special white heatpipe cooler. It is a single slot cooler but it did a good job and was very quiet. You can see two new Crossfire connectors on the top of the card. The card of course has a 6 pin power connector. The Asus card comes in a nice package and includes a quick setup manual, VGA driver CD and a multilanguage manual on the CD.
