- Intel Xeon X5570 and E5520 Gainestown Processors
Tested - It should be noted that on the
Intel Xeon X5570 the processor operates at 2.93GHz with DDR3
memory speeds up to 1333MHz
- 3GB, 6GB or 12GB Investigated - Look
like the 6GB kit gives the perfect happy medium.
The gains 12GB had over the 6GB kit were minimal overall and this time
there was minimal difference in Vista's performance as opposed to the
3GB kit. The 6GB kit did not appear to put anywhere near as much stress
on the CPU, given that we achieved 200 MHz more. Once the 6GB threshold
is exceeded, performance differences seemed to diminish. There were
simply not enough differences between the 2 kits to warrant the extra
cash injection needed. Sure, a full rack of memory looks the part and
certainly grants those extra E-Peen points people yearn for but the
sensible money goes on the 6GB kit, at least until Microsoft decide to
munch through more of our memory with a new Operating system.
- Asus Eee PC1004DN-First Eee PC
to feature optical disc drive - The
Asus Eee PC1004DN
is the first in the Eee PC range to feature a Super-Multi optical disc
drive, enabling users to read and write optical discs for convenient
data back-ups.
- Western Digital acquires solid-state drive firm - Western Digital has acquired
solid-state drive maker SiliconSystems. The $65 million transaction is
already complete, and SiliconSystems has become WD's Solid-State
Storage business unit. The purchase will provide the current market
leader in 2.5-inch drives with a way into the growing SSD market. Based
in Aliso Viejo, Calif., SiliconSystems was established in 2002, and
makes SSD products for communications, industrial, embedded systems,
medical, military, and aerospace applications. SiliconSystems' product
lineup includes SSDs with a variety of interfaces, including SATA,
EIDE, PC Card, USB, and CF, in 2.5-inch, 1.8-inch, and CF.
- Conficker worm reaches go time, to no effect -
And the award for 'Best April Fool's Day joke' for the year 2009 has to
go to this whole Conficker worm scare. It seems
that everyone was panicking for nothing, no doomsday, no end of the world…yet
;-)
- Skype For iPhone: It's Official - In
terms of navigation, Skype's VoIP app for iPhone
looks more like your traditional iPhone app than it does Skype 4.0 for
Windows. For many who already prefer Apple's sleek interface archetype,
that's a triumph, but those who enjoy Skype's branding may feel
disappointed.
- Hoax site promising tan from computer screen gets
1 mil hits - A website
ironically claiming to offer users an all-year tan through their
computer screens has received more than one million hits in two
months....It's awesome how they have the "O1, O2, O3" chart they say
they combine to make "UVC rays." O2 is oxygen, O3 is ozone, and O1
doesn't even exist as a molecular formula.
- Urilift public urinal costs $100,000 (video) - The
Urilift public urinal lurks underground all day like some
strange nocturnal beast, and then rises majestically at 10pm every
evening just in time to satisfy the urgent need of drunkards looking
for somewhere to relieve themselves.
- How to Use Chopsticks - Become an Expert in 90
Seconds (video) - Tim
Ferriss shows us how to use chop sticks properly
- Deleted 'Twilight' Sex Scene (video) - Vampires
and mortals are forbidden from making love. Unless she's into
the kinky stuff.
- The Taking of Pelham 123
Trailer - Sony has debuted a
second new full length trailer for the remake of The Taking
of Pelham 123.
- April Foolin' 2009 - WB Acquires The Pirate Bay - check
it out
- Padma Lakshmi - Ocean Drive Magazine - Feb 2009 - For
any Padma Lakshmi fans out there, the
Top Chef hostess graced the February 2009 cover
of Miami based Ocean Drive magazine. The photos and poses aren't
particularly ground breaking...I would have loved to see a outdoor
setting like Kareena's Harper's Bazaar cover, but Padma looks pretty
and the clothes are nice and spring-y!
- Jarah Mariano - UHQ Photoshoot Model Pictures - Jarah-Evelyn
Makalapua Mariano is an American fashion model of Hawaiian,
Korean, and Chinese descent.
