AMD新一代顯卡發布:ATI Radeon HD4770
ATI最新一代40nm製程的Radeon HD4770產品,除了在價位上相當犀利外,在規格面的部份也比現有的HD4670還要高上一個檔次,正式的官報牌價為109美元,至於通路建議零售價則是3,890元台幣,相比於目前同價位的版本大概就屬自家的HD4830與對手的9800GT這兩款,而一旦HD4770開始販售,HD4830的退位將會是不爭的事實,想要趁機撿便宜的玩家可以密切關注一下店家的出清特價,應該也是不錯的選擇;至於對上9800GT的部分就看大家對PhysX與CUDA的需求大不大,比較著重遊戲的玩家可得考慮清楚,畢竟目前的幾款重量級3D遊戲大作還是比較偏NV最佳化的。

etbooks—those tiny, low-priced laptops geared mainly to Web surfing—have become increasingly ubiquitous in the PC marketplace. Nettops are their desktop equivalents—lesser known, but retaining the same low-power/low-price orientation as the netbooks. There have been a few attempts at the nettop, including the Zonbu Desktop Mini and ASUS Eee Box. But while both of those require an external display, the ASUS Eee Top 1602’s ($599 list) monitor is built in, making it the first all-in-one nettop PC. The Eee Top is an intriguing alternative to low-cost desktop PCs as well as netbooks. Unlike the first netbooks, it runs Windows XP instead of Linux. The Eee Top also has a neat touch screen and a bigger display than any cheap netbook. Read more
