Taipei, Taiwan, 26th October, 2004--Info-Tek, producer of the leading GECUBE brand name graphics cards, today marks the release of the new GECUBE RADEON® X700 series graphics card, which rounds off GECUBE's complete line of PCI Express (PCIe) graphics cards and gives consumers an even wider range of choice.
