TechNews RoundUp - Core 2 Extreme @ 5.2GHz! - tech
(hx) 03:05 AM CEST - Aug,04 2006 - Post a comment / read (6)
I am leaving in just minutes for a trip. This means that news are not going to be posted probably until Monday, 7th of August.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 review - See how this CPU performs in comparison to the latest and greatest, as well as older CPUs like the Athlon 64 X2 4800 and Athlon 64 3500+ in both single-GPU and multi-GPU setups.
Overclocker squeezes 5.2GHz out of Core 2 Extreme - Coolaler has managed to crank up Intel's Core 2 Extreme X6800 to a blistering 5.2GHz.
ATI's RD600 chipset tested - Not only this, but the big shock is RD600 was designed for the ground up to support not only DDR-2 but also upcoming DDR-3 memory. In fact, ATI has already fully tested DDR-3 memory on RD600 and it is working fine, months ahead of before it is due to be released for public consumption.
The Scientists' Opinions on Gaming Physics - Ageia recently released its PhysX card to the public, and it didn't take long for Nvidia and ATI to in turn present their own take on how to calculate physics. There are some, however, who say that none of these methods is especially good for the task. According to physics scientists, there are just no algorithms good enough to yield satisfying results.
Acer Aspire 9800 a true desktop replacement notebook - It is powered by Intel Core Duo T2600 (2.16-GHz) processor and runs on 1 GB of DDR2 memory, GeForce Go 7300 (256MB) graphics module, and has up to 240GB of storage (120GB x 2).
Gateway intros $1200 Core 2 Duo desktop PC - The entry-level system comes with a Core 2 Duo 6300 (1.86 GHz) processor, 1 GB of memory, an 80 GB hard drive, a DVD burner, an ATI X1300 graphics card and Windows XP Professional for $1200.
Intel Sends Out Centrino Patch - Intel has issued patches for its Centrino device drivers and ProSet management software that affect the security of the wireless products. If you have a Centrino powered laptop, I suggest you get updated.
Samsung SyncMaster 205BW - 20inch Widescreen Monitor - The 205BW does have a slightly lower response time than the 215TW at 6ms compared to 8ms. Thankfully the lower response time doesn't come at the expense of colour depth, since the 205BW still uses an 8-bit panel rather than a 6-bit model. This means that the 205BW has the full complement of 16.7 million colours at its disposal. Unfortunately it doesn't mean that the 205BW can match its big brother when it comes to colour fidelity and image quality, but more on that later
Corsair Introduces Power Supplies - Corsair is catering the new HX620W and HX520W towards enthusiast gamers, workstations and file servers.
Hitachi-Maxell to Ship Holographic Storage this Year - Maxell's director of technical marketing Rich D'Ambrise said that 300GB holographic discs will be available in November or December of this year
Move over Mouse & Keyboard! - Jeff Han is a research scientist for New York University's Media Research Lab. Here, he demonstrates-for the first time publicly-his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen (video), which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure. The technique is force-sensitive, and provides unprecedented resolution and scalability, allowing us to create sophisticated multi-point widgets for applications large enough to accommodate both hands and multiple users.
ATI Catalyst 6.7 Performance Analysis - Overall there isn't anything really exciting with the new driver release, as far as the performance numbers go. We can see that the X1300 takes a small rise in some applications, while the X800XL drops in a few but nothing major.
AOL's Xdrive Beats Microsoft and Google to the Storage Punch - AOL is making up to 5 GB of storage available for free to any users with an AOL or AIM screen name starting in early September. AOL also is offering a paid premium service with up to 50 GB of storage.
Dozen Windows, Office updates coming next week - Specific details on the types of issues that the bulletins address were not available, but at least one update for each product is considered critical and some will require a restart, Microsoft said in a notice posted on its Web site.
Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' - Paul Thurrott answers the question that some IT folks are asking: 'Is Windows Vista Ready?' His answer is not only no, but 'No. God, no. In related news, Microsoft invites hackers to test Vista.
Windows games to Mac without porting - Cider portability engine for Intel-based Macs, offering game developers and publishers the ability to deploy Windows-based games on new Macs quickly and easily, without the need for traditional arduous porting.
UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email - According to this announcement they have spent the last month attempting to recover 700GB of accidentally deleted emails. By their estimates, up to 12GB of these had yet to be read by their recipients.
Linux Command Line Cheatsheet - A list of linux commands for common operations including: file searching, networking, directory navagation, etc
Easy Fix for Scratched CDs - Ben Hayes (om3ga) has performed an experiment as to the best method to fix scratched CDs.
Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot K800i photo phone - The K800i's screen is an excellent 2in, 320 x 240, 262,144-colour unit. It's bright, vivid and sharp, and its visibility holds up well under bright sunlight
Messy network pics: be glad your network doesn't look like this - check it out! / check it out - LOL, maybe they are overclocking the wires, and are going for the water cooled option :P
iTunes to Give Away 70 Million Songs - Apple is teaming up with Coca-Cola in Europe for a huge iTunes giveaway, in which 70 million codes for free songs will be distributed inside packages from the soft drink maker. The far majority of the songs will be offered in the United Kingdom, while 67,000 songs will be given away in Germany.
Ford Recalls 1.2 Million Vehicles - Ford has issued a massive recall of 1.2 million of its trucks, vans and sport utilities. While not really tech related, there are a ton of you out there that drive a Ford or know someone that does. Ford said the recall was tied to the speed control deactivation switch system, which could corrode over time, overheat and ignite. It builds upon one of the largest recalls in U.S. history.
Top 5 Humanoid robots - Here's a list of Top 5 Humanoid robots.
Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? - IMDB.com are reporting that Matt Damon has been cast to play a young James T. Kirk in the new Star Trek Movie directed by J.J. Abrams. Is this the end of the Star Trek series we fans know and love, or the beginning of something bigger and better for the series?
Dell Lying in TV Ads? - The Advertising Standards Authority has criticised Dell for a recent TV ad which quoted a price not available by default online.
