“How well did the Thermalright Ultima 90 actually do? On the Intel side, compared to the stock heatsink, the Ultima 90 won hands down. As per its other two competitors, both come equipped with 120mm fans that put out between 85 and 110 CFM, where the fan that I used only put out a max of 68 CFM. On the AMD side, while it was only compared to the ZeroTherm Nirvana and the stock heatsink, it performed just as well or better aside from idle temps while overclocked. The Ultima 90 is much lighter and compact than the Nirvana and the Tuniq tower, which to me is a plus since I always seem to cut my hands on the fins of the others.”

A couple of weeks ago, news broke that AGEIA was set to be acquired, but it wasn’t clear as to who the parties involved were; the initial story claimed only that it wasn’t AMD.  As of a few moments ago, however, that rumor has become fact.  NVIDIA just sent word that they will be acquiring AGEIA Technologies for an as yet undisclosed sum.  We don’t have all of the details just yet, but more information about the acquisition will be disclosed during NVIDIA’s quarterly conference

Remember the days prior to self-serve? OK, maybe none of you are that old. Well, if the Dutch have their way, we may soon been seeing “Full Serve,” “Self-Serve,” and “Robot Serve” prices at gas stations.Dutch inventors unveiled on Monday a 75,000 euro ($111,100) car-fuelling robot they say is the first of its kind, working by registering the car on arrival at the filling station and matching it to a database of fuel cap designs and fuel types.A robotic arm fitted with multiple sensors extends from a regular

Don’t you hate those buts?  Besides the fact that it won’t release to download or Windows Update for six weeks, that old bugaboo for Vista strikes again.  Yep, device drivers.As we update our customers to SP1, we want everyone to have a great install experience.  We are going to stage our rollout of SP1 for current Windows Vista users to be approximately concurrent with the availability of Windows Vista SP1 on new PCs and in stores.  There are a couple of reasons for this.  Our beta

Solid-state memory is the future. Micron and Intel, working together, have brought us closer to that future with the announcement of  a new flash  memory architecture that more than doubles both read and write speeds for solid-state memory devices.IM Flash Technologies, a joint venture between Intel and Micron, has developed an 8G-bit SLC (single-level cell) high-speed NAND chip which can reach read speeds up to 200M bytes per second and write speeds of up to 100M bytes per second, which could mean

Microsoft has made a hostile takeover offer for Yahoo!. It would be difficult and time-consuming for Microsoft to try to catch up with Google in Internet searches and online advertising, but buying the moribund but prominent Yahoo! would likely vault them into a competitive second place. Google  doesn’t like the idea, and is working tooth and nail to stop it.Publicly, Google came out against the deal, contending in a statement that the pairing, proposed by Microsoft on Friday in the form of a hostile offer,

As a leading hard drive supplier to major enterprise, surveillance, consumer electronics and computing manufacturers worldwide, Western Digital announced the company has joined The Green Grid, a nonprofit consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems.

“As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more efficient power solutions becomes paramount to our customers, said Tom McDorman, WD's vice president and general manager of enterprise storage. “WD's innovative GreenPower technology makes it possible for large scale data centers to increase storage capacity while minimizing the increase in power consumption, and in many cases actually reduce power consumption. Our membership in The Green Grid demonstrates our continued commitment to advancing greater energy efficiency in data centers worldwide.

The great migration from Internet Protocol version 4 to IPv6 has officially begun, after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers added the first addresses to its root servers that conform to the new version. On Monday, ICANN, which maintains the Internet's addressing systems, said it had for the first time added IPv6 addresses to the appropriate files and databases on six of the world's 13 root server networks–the systems containing the authoritative databases that form a master list of all top-level domain names. Before ICANN did this, those who were using IPv6 had no choice but to run it alongside IPv4, because the root server networks accommodated only IPv4.

“IPv6 will be an essential part (of) our future, and support in the root servers is essential to the growth, stability, and reliability of the public Internet,” said the chairman of ICANN's Internet service and connectivity provider constituency, Tony Holmes. “The ISP community welcomes this development as part of the continuing evolution of the public Internet.”

Apple on Tuesday introduced models of its iPhone and iPod touch devices with double the memory available in previous versions. The products come on the heels of Apple's launch last month of a service that lets iPhone and iPod users rent and download movies to watch on their devices. Both of the new devices will sell for $499, Apple said

The iPod touch, a wireless touch-screen device that plays music and videos, adds a 32-gigabyte model. Apple will continue to sell its iPhone with 8 gigabytes of memory for $399. A 16-gigabyte version of the iPod touch remains at $399 and an 8-gigabyte model, at $299.

Intel has informed motherboard makers that it will definitely launch its X48 chipset in mid March, two months later than its original launch date, according to industry sources. The X48 chipset was originally slated for launch in January, but Intel pushed it back as inventory of X38 had yet to be cleared, the sources said.

Some makers, such as Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI), have already announced details of their X48 motherboards, but Intel's delay in officially launching the new chipset is preventing the mobo makers from setting shipping schedules of their new motherboards. But Intel has told motherboard makers that the mid March launch date is definite, and there will be no more delays, the sources claimed. As X48 will be launched in mid March, the Core 2 Extreme QX9770 that the chipset supports will not be available until then, the sources said.
