We sit down with our buddies from HotHardware, like we do every week, to talk graphic cards this time around. First on the list? ATI's gigantic Radeon 5970, which other than topping performance charts, also tips the price scales more than most cards. On the cheap end of the spectrum, we break down a new card from Zotac which is a low-power unit capable of fitting in well to a home theater without breaking the bank. Also, Adobe has added hardware acceleration support in its latest build of Flash, which is perfect for lower-end computers to play back hi-def Flash content. And, MSI has come out with a desktop that fits that mold really well, which has a touchscreen, Nvidia ION processor, and comes in at about $750. Check the show for the full details.

Asus to release 12-inch Ion-packing netbook?

In a leak from the Chinese Asus site, it seems the company is prepping a new 12-inch netbook which will carry the Nvidia Ion graphics technology. The Ion GPU will allow low power netbooks to handle HD video much more smoothly and allow for higher resolution screens on netbooks.

First Nvidia Ion netbook brings mid-range gaming and HD video

Lenovo's getting geared up to release the new S12 toting the new Nvidia Ion chipset, making it the first netbook of its kind. The new hardware brings the 9400m graphics chip to mobile devices, and the offering makes Lenovo's netbook a powerful competitor to others, allowing it to display full 1080p video and competently play some current games.
