With a fall gaming season ahead that is proclaiming a major jump in technology, it's time for many of us to upgrade our hardware so that we don't have to experience the pain of choppy graphics when we sit down to play. ATI has already released their graphics solutions ready to meet the challenge and First International Computer jumped onboard. The FIC Radeon A98P is based on ATI's R350 GPU and packs a punch with 128MB of RAM. Step inside to see what this card can do; it might be what you're looking for to gear up for this fall's coming attractions, such as Half Life 2, Doom 3, Deus Ex 2, etc.

Wi-Fi has its own challenges. Just wrapping your head around the myriad abbreviations and specifications can be a dizzying affair: IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, RF, WEP, WPA, OFDM, DSSS, CFK. Say what? How does the average consumer reap the benefits of the wireless revolution without having to take night courses in networking? Compex suggests its SKW811 Wireless Internet Gateway Kit. The SKW811 is an 802.11b-based, 11 Mbps bundle geared toward the networking neophyte. It aims to provide you with all you need to get a LAN up and running in an easy and efficient manner.
