VR-Zone does the 128MB Radeon AIW 8500
ATI Loves meeting there customers needs, and they have come up with the perfect solution. The ATI ALL IN WONDER Radeon 8500 128mb. Basically It's a TV Tuner, Graphics Card, DVD Decoder and Video Editor, All In One (as the name implies). Powered by the same GPU as the Original 8500 by ATI, This Card is one Bad Ass Gaming card!

SimHQ reviews another Visiontek Ti4400
While the Ti4600 is the fastest of the NVIDIA based boards today, the Ti4400 is certainly no slouch with performance just underneath the Ti4600. LetÂ’s take a look at what VisionTek is offering with their Ti4400.

Overclockers AU does yet another Ti 4600 from X-Micro (who?)
One potential issue with the RAMsinks is that they could foul tall components near the back of the AGP slot. As we saw in the Asus review, the array of components clustered along the back edge of Ti4600/Ti4400 cards can make installation problematic on certain motherboards. The RAMsinks on the X-Micro card can have a similar effect in a slightly different location, as seen by the card when used in Gigabyte's GA-7VTXE (VIA KT266A) motherboard. The Gigabyte board has a small locking clip to hold an AGP card in place, but it rises away from the slot and hits the RAMsinks, making insertion of the card impossible. Again I would probably lay the blame for this at the feet of the motherboard manufacturer, as suggested here by [H]ard|OCP. Fortunately, this plastic lug can be removed from the motherboard without damaging the board. I haven't seen any other motherboards with that style of clip or tall components that close to the socket, so hopefully it won't become a major issue.
