AMD/ATI released 3 new graphic cards today which goes straight into the budget/middle class. These cards will be okay for gaming but the performance of the card is not very high. The model numbers on the new cards are 3650, 3470 and 3450. These cards are less powerful and a class under the existing Radeon 3850 and 3870.

 Radeon HD 3650

 Radeon HD 3650 will compete directly with Nvidias GeForce 8600 GT and will be available in 2 versions: 256 MB GDDR3 (800 MHz) and 256/512/1024 MB DDR2 (500 MHz). However both of the GPU’s runs on 725 MHz. The prices starts on around 100$.

 Radeon HD 3470/3450

Radeon 3470 has a GPU on 800 MHz and GDDE3 memory on 900 MHz, while HD3450 has 600 MHz GPU and 500 MHz DDR2 memory. Both of the cards supports DirectX 10.1, PCI Express 2.0 and DisplayPort. The price on these cards will start on 50-70$ which is quite acceptable. These cards are also based on 55 NM technology and supports HDCP and HDMI out.

The official launch of Radeon HD 3870 X2 will be tomorrow according to what i heard, but i have managed to get some good details about the card and i thought i should post it here. The card with codename R680 is based on the RV670 processor. This will be AMD’s next top model. The cards price will be on around 250$ which is very cheap for such a powerful card as this.

 Here are a list with some of the specs:

* 55 nm-technology
* Two processors (R680)
* 825 MHz core frequency
* 1800 MHz effective memory frequency
* 512 MB GDDR3-memory (x 2)

 A Early Test

 The chinese Pconline website also took a closer look on one of the 3870 X2 cards. The tests shows us that the card can do 18000 points in 3DMark06, while GeForce Ultra card only manages to get around 14000 points. The power usage on the whole system reaches close to 330 Watt, and the same system with GeForce 8800 Ultra reaches 300 Watt. This card will be the most powerful card on the market until Nvidia releases their double processor card known as GeForce 9800 GX2

Earlier it has not been possible to drive Vista Home Basic or Home Premium in a virtual environment. So far this has only been possible with Vista Business or Vista Ultimate. The reason for these restrictions was according to Microsoft a security issue. Microsoft claims that virtual machines could been used in a bad way by dangerous programs, and you would need to have expert knowledge to protect against such dangerous programs in a virtual environment. Microsoft has now changed their opinion on this matter, and they will make it possible to use both home Basic and Home Premium as virtual machines.
