MSI RX2600XT Diamond (Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB GDDR4)



The two-slot heat pipe based cooler on the MSI RX2600XT Diamond is a custom cooler that has appeared before in other MSI products. It's a relatively simple design, with a slow and quiet fan keeping the temperatures down. Heatsinks are also found for some of the onboard components and the memory chips are all cooled passively in such a manner.
The core got a nice boost of 50MHz to 850MHz, while the memory clocks had a increase to 2300MHz DDR from the original 2200MHz DDR. Since this is a GDDR4 version, the clocks are obviously higher than the GDDR3.

SPECS

-ATI Radeon Radeon HD 2600 XT GPU (RV630)
-390 million transistors on 65nm fabrication process
-Core Clock: 850MHz
-24 shader processors (120 stream processing units)
-Full support for Microsoft DirectX 10.0
-Two independent display controllers
-HDMI output support
-128-bit 8-channel GDDR4 memory interface
-256MB DDR4 SDRAM
-Memory Clock = 2300MHz DDR

Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 (Intel X38)



The main reason to be excited however, is the new chipset Intel X38. The X38 will feature some significant Northbridge improvements in a while. Firstly, the X38 will improve upon the dual PCIe x8 support of the 975X Express and feature native dual PCIe x16 rails this time around, which will make full speed CrossFire configurations a reality with an Intel chipset. As yet, NVIDIA's SLI is still not officially on the table for any chipset outside of NVIDIA's own. In addition to the two PCIe x16 lanes, the X38 will also mark the introduction of the new PCI Express 2.0 specifications. Even then, it is important to note that PCI Express 2.0 is only available to the two PCIe x16 lanes on the MCH. Basically, PCI Express 2.0 doubles the maximum bandwidth from 2.5Gbps to 5Gbps. A single x16 connector will now be able to achieve up to 16Gbps (8Gbps each way) total transfer rate.
