Hardware Roundup for March 23

This years Game Developers Conference is fully underway and Greg is getting a lot of work done down there. Be sure to check out his day 1 and 2 reports, and expect far more info in the coming days. The GDC is not the only thing going on though… reviews are also abundant! Hexus, Tech Report and Hot Hardware all take a look at the new high end Intel, the Pentium EE 965 which is clocked at 3.73GHz. As you’d expect, it keeps close to the FX-60, surpassing it in a handful of tests. Tech Report also has a look at the new MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard, which is jam packed with many extras. It’s a great looking board, but the northbridge cooler seems huge.
