Today we are looking at a second offering in
the X1600 line-up from Hightech Information Systems or as we refer to our
friends as the gang over at HIS. We will be reviewing this video card
in much the same fashion that we did the X1600 PRO when we reviewed it last
week, with one small change, this time we will be combining the two video
cards so that they can be tested as in a CrossFire configuration. We
will get into that a bit more as we get deeper into the review.
