EN9600GT Graphics Cards by ASUS
Asus has introduced over-clocked versions of the latest Nvidia GeForce 9600GT GPU; the EN9600GT series graphics cards.
There are two models; EN9600GT TOP/HTDI/512M and EN9600GT/HTDI/512M. The EN9600GT TOP version claims to offer 10 percent engine clock improvements for gaming. While the EN9600GT version claims to turn a PC into a visually-stunning multimedia system that is capable of driving DirectX 10 games and high-definition movies.
Vinay Shetty, product manager (Component Business) of Asus India, said, "The EN 9600GT TOP/HTDI/512M graphics card is designed to synchronize the strengths of the chipset and Asus innovation and technology to give users that little extra when it comes to performance and quality."
According to Asus, with the EN9600GT TOP, gamers can expect core, shader, and memory clock performance boost from 650MHz up to 720MHz, from 1625MHz up to 1800MHz, and from 1.8GHz up to 2GHz -- respectively.
The new series of graphics cards integrates the SmartDoctor feature that allows users to tweak the Shader Clock on GPUs for better graphical performance, according to Asus.
Asus plans to upgrade both graphics cards with the newest thermal solution -- the Glaciator Fansink that will dissipate heat away from the GPU to help lower temperatures -- much like real-life glacial storms.
The Asus EN9600GT TOP/HTDI/512M graphics card will be available for an approximate price of Rs 13,500, while the EN9600GT/HTDI/512M version will be available for an approximate price of Rs 12,000.Source

Xbox 360 will have HD DVD Players no more...!!
Finally, after much dilly-dallying, Microsoft has publicly conceded to stopping making HD DVD players for its Xbox 360 gaming console.
However, the company said it will continue to provide standard warranty support for its HD DVD players. With this move, the last of the support to the dying (now dead) HD DVD format has ended. During the time the format lasted, Toshiba, Intel, NEC, and Microsoft were arguably its main proponents.
Actually, HD DVD's downfall began quite some time back when major Hollywood studios, including Sony Pictures, Walt Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, and Warner Bros Entertainment chose rival Blu-ray over HD DVD for distributing their high-definition content.
This was followed by nearly all of USA's major retail chains, the likes of Best Buy, Target, and 'last but not the least' Wal-Mart Stores, pledging support to Blu-ray over HD DVD
With Toshiba's public withdrawal of the format, the fate of HD DVD was more or less sealed, leaving Blu-ray the unchallenged victor.
Now that Microsoft has said it will stop making HD DVD players for its Xbox 360 console, Blair Westlake, a Corporate Vice President with the company's media and entertainment group, further said they will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room, along with playback of DVD movies that they already own.
Just how are they planning to do this?
With HD DVD players firmly out of the way, is Microsoft now going to make attachable Blu-ray players for its Xbox 360. In any case, Sony's PS3 gaming console already has built-in Blu-ray playback capability.
Or is the company now going to increase high-definition downloads on its Xbox Live service, as it said earlier. Source
