- Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 C3 2GB PC2-6400 -
Corsair's
Twin2X2048-6400C3 memory is the first DDR2-800 class memory that can run
with a CAS Latency of 3. Finally there is some true low latency memory on
the market, and as everyone knows, the AMD Athlon64 loves memory that uses
tight timings. From 3DMark05, Doom 3 and Business Winstone 2004, everything
was just faster on the Corsair Twin2X2048-6400C3.
- Biostar P35 DDR2 & DDR3 Bearlake Boards - Apparently there are 2
motherboard models - DDR2 and DDR3.
The higher end
model named TP35D3-A7 Deluxe supports DDR3 800/1066MHz memories, 4 DIMM
slots up to 8 GB, 1 x PCI-E x16, 3 x PCI-E x1, 2 x PCI Slots
- AMD Releases Final 'R600' Specs -
On March 30,
2007, AMD will initially debut the R600 as the ATI Radeon X2900 XTX in
two separate configurations: one for OEMs and another for retail. 1GB of
GDDR4 memory is the reference configuration for Radeon X2900 XTX! And 700
million transistors?!? Wow. Power will be something to see, and I really
hope that it's a 65nm part!
- GeForce 8600 cards to arrive in May? -
The GeForce 8600
GT 512MB will cost $219-229 at launch, while the 256MB model will be
available for $199, and the GeForce 8600 GS will sell between $159 and $165.
If this information is genuine, it would suggest that the $229 GeForce 8600
GT will pack more onboard memory than the newly-introduced GeForce 8800 GTS
320MB. Cards for the masses... good stuff :-)
- G84, Geforce 8600 to score 4500 in 3Dmark 06 - NVIDIA'S Geforce
8600 cards, based on the G84 die,
should score

- Inkless printer to be built into digital cameras -
The key to
creating the devices is doing away with ink, using a new type of digital
printing that changes colour of paper when heat is applied. The company
recently demonstrated a working prototype of the camera phone printer at the
DEMO 2007 technology conference in California, US. The printer is expected
to cost $200 while 100 sheets of paper will cost $20.

AnyDVD HD
comes with same functionality as AnyDVD, but with additional features for
full HD-DVD (High Definition DVD) support, including decryption of HD-DVD
movie discs.
- JavaScript code leaves routers open to attack - The researchers
found that it is possible to change the DNS, or Domain Name System, settings
of a router if the owner uses a connected PC to view a Web page with the
JavaScript code. This DNS change lets the attacker divert all the Net
traffic going through the router. So, if you haven't changed the default
password, you'd better do it.
- Mobile Phone on Your Wrist -
Talk time is a
cool 200 minutes, and standby time is an amazing 80 hours. The screen
isn't exactly huge, since it's a wristwatch, but it's a color OLED one, so
at least you'll be entertained a bit.
