Hardware Roundup: Friday Edition

Intel’s latest processors are expected to be released sometime in the fourth quarter of this year and a new family of processors means a new chipset and new motherboards as well. Today our roundup gets a quick look at a shot of a X58-based board from Foxconn. Speaking of new chipsets, the Asus M3N78 is an AM2+ board based on the NVIDIA GeForce 8300 that features integrated graphics and NVIDIA’s Hybrid Power technology. Alienware is synonymous with gaming laptops and when you combine an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 mobile processor and a GeForce 8800M GTX (512MB) graphics card the Area-51 m15x gaming notebook is an impressive looking machine - albeit at a pretty hefty price.
