PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
As many of you know or will right now, the computer peripheral
sector is split into three separate defined markets. The first being
the budget, which caters to the low cost, low performance and mass produced
computer parts. The second is the mainstream market which is a mix of
performance decent quality with stil an eye on keeping costs low, but
higher than the budget sector. The third is the enthusiest or elite
sector where performance means everything and price in the most part
is not considered into the equation (within reason).
Today I will be reviewing a videocard that is powered
by the mainstream targeted FX5600, but with a kicker. The FX-71 although
shares a chip that is mainstream oriented, it encompasses many features
only found in the higher end enthusisiest card without the premium price.
What features are they you ask? In a few pages you will find out.
