ATi Radeon 8500

Posted by michael on from the faster-hardware,-whoo-hoo dept.

punkmac writes: "The new ATi Radeon 2 8500 is finally here, with previews at Anandtech and Tom's Hardware. Could ATi finally have the killer card that we've all been hoping for? With promises of a 33% speed increase from the GeForce 3, they might." Gamespot has a piece too, all published simultaneously. I love it when a hardware company decides to lift their embargo and all the "independent" reviewers dutifully follow the herd. Compare the three articles and see if you can determine which images/text came directly from the press kit.

    Was that his main home, or his secondary home? At least you understand the English possessive. You could teach CmdrTaco at thing or two.

    I just heard sad news on talk radio - Horror/Fiction writer Stephen King was dound dead in his Main home this morning. No more details were available. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly an Amercian icon.

      Every freakin' tech article here dealing with the ps2 or a video card or a new processor or a new toaster has somebody posting the exact same thing. Can you imaging a Beowulf cluster of these.
      Man, can you imagine if half of you thought about your posts before you made them. I'd make a beowulf cluster of all of these unmade posts and take down the internet.

  9. Michael Dell Denies Relationship With Larry Wall by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Michael Dell Denies Relationship With Larry Wall Slashdot doesn't usually report on stories like this, but when it's two people like this we cant resist. Acording to an article in Fast Company Michael Dell and Lary Wall have been spoted dining together sevveral times in a Santa Clara establishment, but the article is rather ambiguous as to whether its a professional or personal relationship.

    The pictures circulating on the net make it a little clearer.
