AMD and its partners released the HD 4770 graphics processor earlier this week and we turned up a pair of additional reviews for you to check out. In motherboards, we have a pair of Core i7/X58 offerings from Foxconn and ASUS. Foxconn's Quantum Force X58 Flaming Blade is a full-size board, part of its high-end Quantum Force series of products. ASUS brings enthusiast-class performance to the mATX form factor with its Rampage II Gene board. AMD has introduced support for DDR3 memory with its latest Phenom II socket AM3 processors and the MSI 790FX-GD70 board offers a full set of features including quad-CrossFireX support.
