Default GeCube Radeon X800 PRO Review

With the ATI X800 series flagship board only available in very limited quantities, the board vendors are first getting to grips with the X800 PRO. Here we take a look at GeCubes Radeon X800 PRO board, and also take a little look at the performance of the X800 PRO with the various drivers ATI have released since the boards introduction.
"Created as a subsidiary of Gigabyte, Info-Tek Corp were established in 1990, however recently they have added the GeCube brand to their product line-up, bringing a PC graphics components to their portfolio. Having formerly been an NVIDIA partner, Gigabyte were one of the first AIB’s to begin dual sourcing their graphics chips by including ATI graphics in their line-up. Despite Gigabyte continuing their dual sourced graphics product line, their GeCube subsidiary was tasked with bringing, at present, only ATI boards to the market."

Good review. I especially liked the driver comparison.

Noticed one typo. On the Test Setup page the GeCube is referred to as a X800 XT.

On the last page, should "in fact it would be a surprise" be "in fact it wouldn't be a surprise" ?

Nice review, especially the driver comparo section.
