By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/31/2009 08:46 AM | 0 comment(s) ]

With Dell's Alienware line, you can be at the elast enjoy a decent gaming experience wrapped up in aa portable package, and their latest addition to the family would be the Dell M17x laptop. This Alienware laptop will start from $1,799 upwards, where the base 17" model will feature the following :-

  • 1GB nVidia GeForce GTX260M GPU
  • Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz P8600 processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • 250GB 7200-rpm hard drive
  • Slot-loading DVD-RW drive
  • 9-cell battery
  • nVidia GeForce 9400M G1 GPU with HybridPower technology
  • 802.11n Wi-Fi

Of course, you can always upgrade the DVD-RW drive to a Blu-ray model by throwing in more dough, but that would also mean including the optional 1,920 x 1,200 resolution edge-to-edge LCD upgrade as well in order to take full advantage of it.

Ehm, naah I'll stick to a PC that is upgradable .. thjanks anyway :-)


Verbatim TuneBoard Keyboard

Verbatim is back in da house with a brand new TuneBoard Keyboard, and dude it comes with built-in speakers to get you started right out-of-the-box, although don't expect this to blow your mind away with the audio quality it produces.

Apart from integrated speakers, the TuneBoard Keyboard even comes with iTunes control keys, switchable backlighting and bass boost, alongside connectivity options to hook up a pair of headphones and microphone.

Do you think $70 for the Verbatime TuneBorard is worth the money?

As it seems though they are slowly expanding their product line. As such, Onkyo is now offering LCD monitors as well. And these are not exactly sexy looking.

Is HTML5 Going To Change The OS Market?

By Thorsten Finck on: 05/31/2009 07:22 AM | 0 comment(s) ]

Regardless of the underlying operating system, HTML5 promises the ability to run applications platform-independant. Already being confirmed to be supported by Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla it is more than likely that all major browsers are going to feature an updated interpreter for the new version of the web programming language.

HTML 5 is currently in the developing stage and more than likely to remain in it for a few more years. Despite that, "its focus on running applications within the browser is an important driver of interest in cloud computing, where applications live somewhere off on the Internet and are delivered by the browser.

The focus of future browsers will shift from "going places" to "doing things." This will be a boon to free operating systems, which will increasingly be able to hide themselves under the browser user interface. While Windows and Mac OSX won't go away overnight, the pressure on them will be to innovate beyond the browser, perhaps through a common set of extensions for HTML5 applications to use."


Tim Berners-Lee's New WWW of Linked Data

"For his next project, he's building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together."

Intel to Eliminate Core i7 920 and 940

By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/30/2009 01:58 PM | 0 comment(s) ]

If you are looking out and plan an upgrade with Core i7 920 ... you might want to hurry up. It is now semi confirmed that Intel is going to axe the Core i7 920 and 940 quite soon. 

Now the 940 will be replaced with the 950 and also a 975 will be launched next week to replace the 965(we'll review it). But IF the Core i7 920 is to go EOL .. there will be no 'affordable' 300 USD counterpart anymore to fill that gap UNTIL Core i5 is released late(r) this year.

So if you where in the market for a Core i7 920 .. now's a good time to pick one up. And hopefully we'll be proven wrong. I picked out dome good deals the 920. Here you go:

  • here $279.99
  • here $294.99
  • here $313.70

MSI N275GTX Lightning pixelated

By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/30/2009 01:50 PM | 0 comment(s) ]

Thoe bro's over at vrzone have a couple of photo's on the the upcoming N275GTX Lightning card from MSI and now here's the card and cooler in its full glory before Computex. The company came up with a newer cooler, with a slightly different PCB. While retaining the Twin Frozr heatsink.

The cooler MSI is using on the N275GTX Lightning has a bigger fan and higher density heatsink so the cooling performance is enhanced.

  1. Military Class Component (Hi-c CAP, Solid State Choke, Long life Solid CAP)
  2. 8+2 PWM phase
  3. Hardware APS with LED (can shutdown PWM phase during IDLE) - this is something new that N260GTX Lightning doesn't possess
  4. 1792MB GDDR3
  5. V-Check Points (measure GPU/memory voltage)

According to MSI, the yellow Solid State Chokes (SSC) is new on this card.  As traditional choke has different parts inside (housing, coil, ferrite stick), it will generate high frequency noise under heavy load because of vibration. For SSC, it is made up of iron chunk with coil buried inside so there is no different parts thus it doesn't cause the buzzing noise anymore. Also, it can increase power density.

Info on availability, and price, are not known at this point in time.

Sweeney: Realistic graphics 10-15 years away from us

By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/30/2009 01:34 PM | 0 comment(s) ]

Gamasutra had an interview with Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney, one of the things they talked about is how long it will take for games to arrive that will look 100 percent realistic like a movie. We've come a long way in the last fifteen years since Doom was released, and Sweeney predicts it will probably take another 10-15 years until game developers are able to create games with graphics that can't be distinguished from reality.

There are two parts to the graphical problem. Number one, there are all those problems that are just a matter of brute force computing power: so completely realistic lighting with real-time radiosity, perfectly anti-aliased graphics, and movie-quality static scenes and motion.

We're only about a factor of a thousand off from achieving all that in real-time without sacrifices. So we'll certainly see that happen in our lifetimes; it's just a result of Moore's Law. Probably 10-15 years for that stuff, which isn't far at all. Which is scary -- we'll be able to saturate our visual systems with realistic graphics at that point.

But there's another problem in graphics that's not as easily solvable. It's anything that requires simulating human intelligence or behavior: animation, character movement, interaction with characters, and conversations with characters. They're really cheesy in games now...

Titan Fenrir CPU cooler review

By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/30/2009 10:01 AM | 0 comment(s) ]

The market is resourceful, plentiful and even a little saturated when it comes to CPU coolers. And you know what? That's just great as a matter of fact as that means you can get heatpipe coolers starting at 35 USD already, offering very decent performance combined with silent cooling. I mean that's what it's all about. Heatpipe based cooling was designed with silence in mind.

The Titan Fenrir is another mainstream heatpipe based CPU cooler and a pretty reasonable one too: 17dBA operation, 160W thermal load, universal socket support, PWM function, four 8mm heat pipes, and a 12cm fan. Oy not bad .. let's check it out to see where it stands in terms of price versus performance.

Check out the full review here.

DFI LANParty UT P55 Board First Look

By Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/29/2009 12:08 PM | 0 comment(s) ]

The chaps from vrzone have caught their paws on LANPARTY UT P55 board which is packed with several new interesting features.

Why is it interesting you ask ?well .. you can see that this motherboard has a complete digital PWM and there is a slot for NAND flash. Also, DFI will be using Flame Freezer for the chipst cooling department as well. On closer examination, there is a mini USB port on the IO backpanel.

So what is it doing there? DFI refused to say anything but gave us a clue that it is BIOS related and is a breakthrough for motherboard technologies.

This mystery will be unravelled at Computex Taipei 2009 where DFI will officially be announcing this board there.

   

So what do you think that feature is for? Head over to this thread to share your opinion.
