Although it’s more of an evolutionary step as it still uses a G92 chip, we can’t get enough of the soon-to-be-released GeForce 9800 GTX, and we’re not alone. Some nice far Eastern folks have got their hands on a 9800 GTX and, after swapping the stock cooler with a Zalman Fatal1ty fan, put it to the test in 3DMark06.
Backed by a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU set to 3400 MHz and the ForceWare 174.40 , the GeForce 9800 GTX returned a score of 13212 at the default resolution, an unimpressive but still decent result. In addition to running Futuremark’s benchmark the card has also been put side by side with a few current graphics cards and, as you can see from the images below, if size matters, then the 9800 GTX takes the cake courtesy of its 10.5" length.
The 9800 GTX is set to cost between $299 and $349 and will be officially introduced on March 25th.

This slower than expected/desired Friday has almost been saved by a new online find which is the USBee, flash drive concept. Designed by Damjan Stankovic and winner of the MS Industrial USB Competition, USBee is a USB flash drive with a twist, given by its shape, overall look and features.
While tech specs aren’t the case here the design shows great promise as it can better protect the drive due to its flexible and slim ’neck’. Since the USB connector is not directly put ...
