Digital Picture Frames have really taken off; they're one of those devices that could have been quickly considered as a useless gimmick, but a decent flow of sales in the retail market proves otherwise.

I've never put much thought into their usefulness myself, that is until eStarling contacted us recently with details of their new WiFi Digital Picture Frame.

Update: It's since been brought to our attention that the below is quite simply just a form of basic trickery. It's as easy as this.

Thanks to Anshel for the heads up.

Our friends over at Real World Labs have plucked something rather interesting from a MOD RIG of EVGA's which lists some of the possible upcoming high-end desktop graphics cards we may (hopefully) end up seeing from NVIDIA in the near future.

Coinciding with the full version release of Crysis, there's a new ATI Catalyst hotfix driver available which deals with a number of things and also brings full support for Radeon HD 3800 series cards.

The fixes include :-

- DirectX 10: Fixes texture flickering in bushes, clouds, trees

As was the case with AMD's RV670 cards last week, we're starting to see retailers jump the gun a bit and throw up pricing on AMD Phenom processors; these are set for an imminent launch, November 19 to be exact.

Florida based online retailer ISORM list the Phenom 9500, 9600 and 9700 with pricing of $279.99, $309.99 and $319.99 respectively. Let's hope Phenom's performance is good enough to warrant forking out this kind of money.

It seems like it's all about the Radeon HD 3870 X2 today and AMD showed the cards at their European launch event as well and Fudzilla scored several pictures of the new card on its own. AMD was showing two cards running in CrossFireX, just as they did at the US event that we wrote about here.

It appears that AMD has castrated the 3870 X2's in terms of one feature, they're limited to having only a single CrossFire connector, which means that it's not possible to run four of these cards in one system, no matter what you do. Each GPU has dedicated memory and our guesstimate is that each GPU has 256MB, at least for now.

E-ten has been busy over the last couple of weeks as it has just launched a third Windows Mobil 6 device today, the Glofiish M800. Think of it as the X800 with a keyboard and that's the M800. Although it's not quite that simple of course, since there are some other slight differences between the two.

The M800 features the same Samsung S3C2442 500MHz CPU and it has 256MB of Flash ROM as well as 64MB RAM. There's a micro SD card slot for further memory expansion. The touch screen measures 2.8-inches and has VGA resolution at 480x640 which is a feature that we're really keen on when it comes to Windows Mobile devices.

It seems like there's no end of new gaming keyboards this week and the latest one comes from another traditional mouse mat manufacturer, Everglide. Their new gaming keyboard goes under the name of the Everglide DKTboard and it's sold in a bundle with a DKTmat.

Apparently the DKTboard has been designed and engineered with help from Razer. The keyboard features a slim key-cap structure that is meant to deliver faster response and a more tactile comfort. It also comes housed in an aluminium casing to add to the ruggedness.

It's not every day we get news stories for free, but it appears that one of our forum members that goes by the alias of windwithme has posted a review of Intel's upcoming Core 2 Duo E8500 processor and he's even managed to overclock it to an insane 4.7GHz with a standard air cooler.

The test setup consisted of 2GB of Corsair DDR3-1800 memory, a GeForce 8800GT graphics card and an Asus P5K3-Deluxe motherboard. There's a bunch of pictures of all the kit as well as several screen shots of various benchmarks. At default clocks the E8500 managed to do a 32MB Super PI run in 15min 12.828 seconds, at 4.4GHz on a 491MHz this was reduced to 12min 17.86 seconds,

There are also some 3DMark benchmarks and CPUMark numbers. You can read the full forum post here

Gigabyte has launched two new case ranges, the GZ-X4 and the GZ-X5. These both appear to be targeting the budget minded buyer that wants something a little bit extra for their money, or at least that's the case with the GZ-X4. The GZ-X5 slightly more conservative, although it looks like it still offers a good range of features.

As you can see from the picture below, it looks as if the GZ-X4 will come in two colour schemes, red/black and black/silver. Our only concern here is the matter of finding matching red optical drives, looks like a custom paint job will be in order, unless Gigabyte themselves steps up to the challenge. The GZ-X4 comes with front mounted connectors for two USB ports, a FireWire and two 3.5mm jacks for headphones and a mic.

As just about every other AMD/ATI partner, Gigabyte has announced a pair of Radeon HD 38x0 series cards. The first two products from Gigabyte aren't that much to get excited about, as they're both reference cards at stock clock speeds. Gigabyte hasn't even bothered posting the clock speeds of these cards on its website, that's how different these cards are.

Both cards come with a copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 and that's about how exciting these cards get. However, if you're an avid reader of TweakTown, you know that Gigabyte is already working on its own cards as we told you about here. These blue cards with a Zalman cooler should be available in a few weeks time.

For now, you can find the product pages for the reference cards here and here
