NVIDIA Targeting the Netbook Market
NVIDIA is planning to take the plunge into the netbook market. NVIDIA contends that the current crop of netbooks lack enough video processing power, and hope to bring users a richer netbook experience. Rene Haas, NVIDIA’s VP of World Wide Sales, said, “It’s really about developing a platform which attaches to the Atom.”NVIDIA’s plan is to replace the legacy 3 chip design with a two chip combination of the Geforce 9400M and Atom.

NVIDIA GeForce 295 Video Card Preview @ Hardware Canucks and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!
Naysayers have long said that the GTX 200-series would never be compatible with a dual GPU, single card solution due to the immense power requirements and heat output of the 65nm G200 core. Well, enter a die shrink to 55nm and Nvidia has made into reality what many thought was impossible. We should also mention that pricing is.are you sitting down?…pegged at around $500 USD which puts it into direct competition with the HD 4870 X2.
Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 2000MHZ CL7 Memory Kit Exposed
It looks like the marketing crew over at Corsair Memory let Hexus leak out the details on their upcoming Dominator GT memory series that will be shown off at CES 2009. The 6GB DDR3 memory kit shown below is rated has tight CL7 timings at just 1.65V, which is mighty impressive. The image below looks to list the timings at 7-8-7-20, with the RAS-to-CAS delay keeping it from being 7-7-7. The new two tone color look is new for Corsair as the red trim on the label, but remember these are the GT's. With all the marketing leaks happening before CES I wonder if there will be anything left to show off during the expo.

The kit, pictured above in tri-channel form for Intel's X58 platform, consists of three 2GB modules that'll hit 2,000MHz at just 1.65V with low latencies of 7-8-7-20. That's pretty damn fast, and the low voltage should leave ample room for pushing these beauties a whole lot further.
Western Digital to slash 2,500 jobs, cut executive pay
Hard drive maker Western Digital said Tuesday it plans to cut 2,500 jobs, or about 5 percent of its global workforce, and will reduce executive pay in response to weakening demand for its products linked to the economic turmoil. Western Digital said demand for the current quarter is “significantly below” what it expected when it issued revenue guidance in October. The company now expects fiscal second-quarter sales of $1.7 billion to $1.8 billion, with a “consequent reduction in operating results.”
Western Digital will also stop its manufacturing operations from Dec. 20 through Jan. 1, reduce manufacturing hours by 20 percent through employee attrition and trim its use of temporary workers and overtime shifts. It is also closing one of its three hard drive factories in Thailand and will close or sell one of two facilities in Malaysia.

Sapphire HD4870x2 Atomic Review @ OCC and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!
“The Sapphire Atomic HD4870x2 is not what you usually see in a high performance video card. This is a different animal. It still boasts all of the HD4870x2 features such a 1600 stream processors, two gigabytes of GDDR5 memory on a 2 x 256 bit bus, HDMI over DVI, second gen UVD and more. It is also equipped with a single slot cooling solution that incorporates a water pump/CPU block, single 120mm radiator and fan to exhaust the heat generated by the CPU and GPUs. A pretty neat package in and of itself. No more hair drier in the case to keep you awake at night.”
