If you're familiar with the computer hardware industry, Asus should be a company that needs no introduction. Whether referring to their motherboards, notebooks, or video cards, Asus' products have consistently ranked amongst the best in their respective classes. We've had a ton of experience here at HotHardware.Com working with products from Asus over the years, and save for a couple of rare aberrations, we've usually come away with favorable impressions. We've actually even handed out a number of rare "Editor's Choice" awards to Asus for some exceptional products like the A8N SLI Premium and V9999 Ultra, among others.

In this article we're going to take a look at an ambitious product from Asus, the EAX1800XT Top. As its name implies, the EAX1800XT Top is based on ATI's powerful Radeon X1800 XT GPU. This isn't simply a reference design with a custom badge though. Asus has taken ATI's Radeon X1800 XT, tweaked the VRM, jacked up the clock speeds, enhanced the cooling, and thrown in a wide assortment of accessories. There is a lot to get cover here, so what do you say we get down to business?
