Inno3D GeForce 7950 GT i-Chill edition!!!! Hot Stuff!!

The Inno3D iChill series of products is a two-fold cooled graphics card line. One has Zalman cooling, the other has Arctic Cooling products cooling the cards. Guru of 3D today will be focusing on the Arctic Cooling product, yet from that Arctic cooling range there are again two choices – active and passive cooling. Last time Guru3D reviewed their actively cooled product. Today they’ll see if passive cooling (no fans thus 100% silent) can keep a GeForce 7950 GT cool enough. Equipped with a remarkably playable graphics core (clocked faster than reference) and equipped with 256 Megabyte of GDDR3 memory, this product is ready to bark loudly in your PC. With that being said, let’s startup this review where we explain the technical details and test the cards with a game or twelve. Those games include S.t.a.l.k.e.r, GRAW, War Front, X3, HL2: Episode One, F.e.a.r. and many more.

>>>>humm……..ready for everything……100% effective cooling system…….you can forget about loud noises with this big boy here…….and you can play anything with her at FULL Power……. but What about the price??

SAMSUNG Introduces 1.8” 64GB Flash-based Solid State Drive!!!! HOT!!!

Samsung Electronics announced at its annual Mobile Solution Forum in Taipei that it has developed a 1.8″-type 64 Gigabyte (GB) flash-solid state drive (SSD). The new flash-SSD is based on an eight gigabit (Gb) single-level-cell (SLC) NAND, which provides significantly higher performance over conventional SSDs. The read and write performance of the new SLC flash-SSD have been increased by 20 percent and 60 percent respectively over the 32GB flash-SSD Samsung introduced last year, meaning that the new SSD’s ability to outperform conventional rotating-media hard drives is even greater than had been anticipated. Samsung plans to start mass production of the 1.8″-type 64GB flash-SSD in the second quarter of this year. Samsung’s continued nano-technology migration is a key enabling factor in the continued market segmentation for storage media. Besides the use of the 64 GB flash-SSD for notebook PCs, 8~16GB flash-SSDs will become viable solutions for use in personal navigation systems and digital camcorders, as will and hundred GB-level flash-SSDs for use in the server market. The flash-SSD, a drop-in replacement for a hard disk drive, is a secure and reliable means of storing personal or work-related data. It uses instantly-accessible, non-moving NAND flash memory instead of the noisier, power-hungry, jarring-sensitive rotating disc found in conventional hard drives, allowing it to upload and download data quickly and quietly with minimal power consumption. The SSD market is expected to reach US$6.8 billion by 2010 – an impressive compound annual growth rate of over 200 percent.
