Detective stories and movies are usually pretty popular. A good detective novel appeals to your logic, imagination and lets you enjoy the author’s skill. At first you get acquainted with the main characters and can only guess who the killer is. As the plot develops, your suppositions may transform into certainty but by the end it inevitably turns out that the main suspect is innocent and the real killer is the one with rock-solid alibi, who we never even suspected.
Our today’s ZOTAC nForce 790i-Supreme mainboard review is pretty far from detective story-telling. However, throughout this article we had to change our opinion about he board so many times that detective genre came to mind.

In other words, Nvidia nForce 790i Ultra SLI chipsets have been specifically hand picked from the whole bunch of chips. The chipset specs are quite up-to-date, check for yourselves:
