November, 2008
Another month, another Atomic, another action and tech-packed issue of your favourite PC and gaming magazine!
Issue 94 kicks into gear with an in depth look at all the intricacies of modern PC parts, with a guide to building a PC for the modern enthusiast. From CPU choice to power supply and motherboard, this guide – by the forum’s own cyberglitch! – is a must have for anyone thinking of building a PC from scratch.
Our Head2Head this month looks at the market sweetspot that is 22in LCD monitors. We covered this on line a little while ago, but it’s too good – and the monitors too cheap – to ignore. Hell, nearly all of them have dropped in price even further, so there’s absolutely zero excuse to be using anything smaller. And which one wins? Well, that would be giving it away, wouldn’t it?
And then we’ve got our usual slew of hardware and game reviews. We’ve got new mobos, graphics cards for every price-point, overclocked gaming PCs, and the very latest solid state hard-drives. SSDs FTW, most definitely! On the games front, we get stuck into the latest MMO, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, to find out if WoW has anything to worry about.
And much more!
