These P55-based boards run the gamut of both pricing and features but none have excited us more than the one we will be previewing for you today: the EVGA P55 Classified 200."

NL: PC Game Reviews Roundup
Published: Monday, September 14, 2009 | By: WillWell time for another roundup of game reviews and I even have one of my favorites in it.
F.E.A.R. 2 Reborn DLC (18) PC - Review @ Gamingheaven
F.E.A.R. 2 was met with a mixed response - some gamers thought it combined strong core gameplay with high octane FPS action while others felt it was just riding on the coat tails of the original game which was a huge seller when it was released. Me? I thought it was entertaining enough, even if it didn't reinvent the wheel.
Lost Planet 2 Preview @ OCModShop
In the previous game (Lost Planet: Extreme Condition), the world was completely covered with snow and ice, which required the use of Thermal Energy to survive. Lost Planet 2 takes place 10 years after the previous installment. The planet has been terraformed, and is now green and has flowing rivers and streams.

AMD Next Generation ATI Radeon Eyefinity Technology @ HardOCP
Published: Thursday, September 10, 2009 | By: WillIt is cool to see all the new technology coming out. This super high resolution demo looks like the cat's meow here. Still I do have to ask that ultimate question. How much is that setup going to cost me, and is it realistic for this kind of economy now?
"Just a few snapshots to show you some of the capabilities of AMD's next generation Radeon Eyefinity graphics card doing what it looks like it will do best. Muti-monitor gaming is back from the dead...with a vengeance!"
It still looks cool, but I hope this is not ATI big win for the HD 5800 Series cards.

Mushkin GeForce GTX 295 Single PCB 1792 MB @ techPowerUp
Published: Tuesday, September 8, 2009 | By: WillSailing the sea of the flooded video card market we get one more company to add to the mix. This time it is from one of our favorite ram makers here at Ninjalane, Mushkin. I hope they add something more than a wooden box to the package deal to get buyers.
"Mushkin's GeForce GTX 295 comes in a very stylish wooden box that radiates "premium product" as soon as you have it in your hands. Other than that the card follows NVIDIA's single PCB GTX 295 reference specifications to the letter, but also comes at an attractive price point of $499."
Hmmm...wood box how unique!
