- Intel Prices Its First 45nm Processor -
Intel's first
45nm processor will be a quad-core Core 2 Extreme and cost $999.
- OCZ launches 1.8 GHz DDR3 -
The new modules belong to Platinum Edition series, therefore they carry
platinum-painted heatspreader and a number PC3-14400. Latter number means
single of these babies is able to result in a 14.4 GB/s bandwidth. Combined,
these could reach 28.8 GB/s if there was not for Intel's 64-bit GTL+ bus
that is keeping people stuck at 8.5GB/s (1066 MHz one), that is 10.66 GB/s
with the latest 1333 MHz one.

- BFG Tech's GeForce 8600 GTS OC2 graphics card tested -
BFG has pushed what's arguably the best mid-range GPU on the market to
even greater heights with a little dose of factory "overclocking," making
the OC2 one of the fastest 8600 GTS cards you can buy. All this sounds good
until you get to the price tag. The GeForce 8600 GTS OC2 currently sells for
$240 and up online.
- Random slowdown bug plagues GeForce 8800 cards -
The slowdown bug
is probably caused by texture eviction from device memory. Textures
aren't being evicted when they should be, causing a loss of available device
memory for other resources. Let's hope they fix it as soon as possible.
- Carmack is 'not a believer' in physics processors - id Software
star programmer
John Carmack has told Boot Daily in no uncertain terms that he still has
