ATI's brand new Radeon HD5870 is one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market. It out-performs the last generation models in all of our tests, and it even edges out NVIDIA's GTX295 in some benchmarks too. Best of all, it does this while only consuming slightly more power at full load than last generation’s graphics cards.

AMD's Phenom II is a solid alternative to Intel's Core 2 Quad range of CPUs. It should definitely be considered if you're in the market for a speedy yet reasonably priced PC.

The HD 4550 is a good, affordable option for high-def movie playback and occasional gaming. However, unless you’re on a shoestring budget, we’d recommend the HD 4670 instead. It offers a vastly superior graphics performance for a slightly higher premium.

The ATI Radeon HD 4670 is a mid-range graphics card decked out in entry-level clothing. While it lacks the sheer processing power of its more expensive siblings, it still packs a pretty impressive punch. With an RRP of well under $150, it’s one of the best-value cards on the market.

If you’re a stickler for innovation, ATI’s ‘double-or-nothing’ approach is unlikely to tickle your fancy, but it remains a powerful performer. On the other hand, its benchmark results were not as impressive as we would have liked from a top-end graphics card.

When it comes to gaming performance for your dollar, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 is currently unmatched. If that's not enough reason to snap this card up, we don't know what is.

If you have a graphics enthusiast’s heart, but lack the wallet size to match, then ATI's Radeon HD 4850 is the kind of bargain you’ve been waiting for. It offers a solid performance in all but the most power-hungry applications, at a price that even a pauper could afford.

It's not going to get AMD any new users, but existing AMD platform users might benefit from the extra upgrade option. On its own, the tri-core Phenom X3 8750 is a fast CPU, but when its street price is compared against Intel's Core 2 Quad 6600 CPU, it doesn't look good at all.

Its performance isn't stellar, but it doesn't consume much power and it runs almost silently. This makes the 4850e desirable for a media centre, or any PC where noise and heat issues need to be tackled.

It's worth considering the Phenom 9900 if you want to extract top performance out of your existing AMD-based system, but the upgrade path might not be a smooth one. Wait until the motherboard manufacturers iron out any BIOS issues before investing in it.

Those of you who already own an AM2-based AMD motherboard can give your PCs some added punch by upgrading to a Phenom 9600 quad-core chip. Sure, it's not as fast as an Intel Core 2-based CPU, but it's still a very decent product, which also has plenty of features that aim to reduce power consumption during idle times.

AMD's new open-standard small form factor looks promising. It should hopefully re-ignite interest in the small PC market, as long as motherboard and case vendors take advantage of the smaller motherboard size and implement cool features such as ExpressCard slots.

Users already using an AMD platform may want to consider an upgrade to Barcelona, but it remains to be seen if AMD will win over any new users.

At this point in time a single-core CPU should only be considered by those on a tight budget or with limited requirements. While many single-core CPU models including the Athlon 64 3800+ are suitable for gaming, everyday computing, MP3 encoding and even video editing, their multitasking performance really does not compare to dual-core processors.

Like Intel's Extreme CPUs, AMD's FX range is aimed at the high-end PC market. Buy an FX-based CPU only if you want the absolute fastest Athlon-based performance that you can get for a gaming PC or an entry-level workstation. Wait for the Athlon 64 FX-70, FX-72 of FX-74 models if you want to buy or build a PC based on AMD's 4x4 platform for quad-core computing.
