 I must go to Atomic Live. I must go to Atomic Live. Friday, 11th November 2005 

Issue 59 is on the stands and it's packed with top gear *and* sexual connotations related to RAM, what more could you want?

We did the dirty with a stack of DDR and DDR2 modules to see if they were up to the task of gracing an Atomican's PC. 26 gigs worth in fact. There's something inherently forbidden about holding this much memory in the one hand, but hold it we did before putting their sticks through their paces.

We also had the pleasure of playing with an i-RAM. Well, two actually. We had Windows booting in *four seconds*, which was enough to cause a lab full of geeks to all spontaneously combust in awesomeness. In RAID, the two i-RAMs were pushing nearly 300MB/s. This in an age when the fastest mainstream hard drives push little more than 60MB/s.

And of course, we also got our grubby hands on the entire lineup of ATI's new X1000 chipset. They may have entered the market late, but ATI could have a winner on its hands. Can they nudge out NVIDIA for the crown of the fastest GPU on Earth? Find out on page 56 this issue.

We also have a special Christmas Gearbox, ASUS new dual-GPU 7800GT behemoth, an all-new Matchbox challenge (think Hotbox, but about performance), and loads of games the names of which you can conveniently drop around the house so 'Santa' knows what you want.

Let us know what you think, if you're coming to Atomic Live on Dec 8th, I'll see you there!
