 It's Vistastic! Friday, 2nd February 2007

By now any remnants of the holiday escape have probably withered away, and it’s go mode, 100%. No bad thing, as long as you embrace it with the right attitude and equip yourself for the 2007 road ahead.

We’ve posted some cool stuff this last week to help get you going. Our Budget Graphics Card roundup pits a dozen cheap but somewhat powerful cards against each other. Craig benchtested them all and his writeup, we hope, will save you some pennies and headaches.

Dave’s had a first look at the 20% better Dell 30” 3007WFP-HC. This thing is still the monitor to die for, once you’ve used one we promise you’ll never go back.

And among the rest of this week’s Atomic online action is the WoW: The Burning Crusade video we made of the midnight launch. Your favourite Atomic boys were there giving the crowd a solid once-over. Worth a watch even if you’re not a WoW obsessive.

Go 2007! It’s great! Yeah!
