This is our first review for BHFO and initiates our transistion towards more review content. Here is the Leadtek WinFast PX8800GT 512MB pitted against modern gaming and synthetic benchmarking.

**Update**: Leadtek has lowered the price of the card from 229-194USD, which changes our analysis. We have also fixed compatibility issues with Internet Explorer browsers.

BHFO will be shifting gears to focus on our original intent, our review section. Despite some set backs, Chris is finishing his Leadtek WinFast PX8800GT for BHFO’s first review publication.

Coinciding with the name, Black Hole File Org, we will be releasing torrents containing extra content with each review. The torrents contain files such as higher quality videos, graph images, screen shots, raw .xls files, and any other relevant files are included to enhance the user experience. The goal is to allow those with the desire to delve into the information and make their own analysis.

Below is our pre-release for the Leadtek 8800GT. Pre-release packs in the future, similar to this one, will be available prior to publication by logging in and going to the torrents page. Read more for the file list and an examples of content.

Now that the Wii has been shipped back, we have completed our four-part article covering the entire repair process from discovery to full repair.

**Update1**

Packaged and protected, the Wii was shipped off for repair.

**Update2**

Nintendo has recieved, repaired, and successfully shipped the Wii.

**Update3**

Within the stated time frame, the Wii is returned in working order. BHFO's final analysis:Drive Failure.  

NVIDIA is not short of press coverage on their new 9800X2 and 790i chipset. Several sites around the net have these new beasts in Quad SLI. The benchmarks point to a small advantage in HD gaming, but not worth the severe cost. BHFO also welcomes our newest affiliate, Benchmark Reviews. They have some serious SSD coverage and an article on Overclocking for beginners.

Following an early report, high quality copies of a Canadian show will be uploaded the day after airing on TV, and without any of those "friendly" DRM restrictions.

The CBC is not alone, European broadcasters, such as the BBC, are currently working on a bit torrent client of the next generation kind, allowing broadcasting companies to distribute their media online. By using bit torrent, productions costs are reduced dramatically, and are distributed in a form the public are consistently using.

Approximately 50% of all bit torrent downloads are of TV-shows, and episodes of popular shows such as "Lost", "Prison Break" and "Heroes" get up to 10 million downloads per episode, spread over thousands of sites.

It is promising to see broadcasters coming around to the benefits of both dropping DRM additives on their media, and using Bit Torrent for low-cost distribution. Last month Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) made the popular TV-show "Nordkalotten 365″ available in a DRM-free format. This experiment turned out to be a huge success, while the distribution costs were close to zero. Thumbs are going up all over the community for these companies willing to brave the possible losses, and try their hand at offering legitimate sources of media that people will actually use.

PC Perspective has an excellent interview with John Carmack on id Tech 6. It is Well worth the read and provides insight on the future of none DX gaming. In other news, ars technica has an analysis from IDC on digital information vs. actual storage capacity.
