ATI has listed some of its first DirectX 10 offerings with specs and prices. Topping the list is the X2800XTX, with a 750 MHz core clock and a Gigabyte of GDDR4 running at 2.2 GHz on a 512 bit bus. Like Nvidia's new cards, it features 128 shaders and an 80nm architecture. The card will initially...

Codenamed lasso, AMD's external graphics solution will use the external PCI-e connection announced last week. This solution is targeted at both desktops and laptops, but obviously will make the biggest difference in the latter. Laptops are not known for their high powered graphical solutions...

1333... 4 MHz too slow.

I thought it was the Wii, not the Wi. Have they shortened the name?

Nah, I would find a way to set it as a macro for easy network nuking. Set it up with ettercap so the little red button fucks everyones connection on campus. Then you can threaten people with it and stuff. Demand money when they're feverishly working on a huge project for the next day. :D Alla yo...

AND MOVE ALL 80 TANKS OUT OF THE CORNER WHERE YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE HIDDEN! :laugh:

Lenovo, the company that bought up IBM's Thinkpad and Thinkcentre brand, plans to use AMD processors in their PC's. Until now, the brand had been exclusively Intel based. The first AMD based business solution, the ThinkCentre A60, will be outfitted with either Sempron 64 or Athlon 64 X2 CPU's...

Any idea what these will retail for?

A month after news of the layoffs was first heard, Intel is cruising along, quietly pruning workgroups. The first to find the notice on their desks were those in the XScale group, followed by the Software Solutions Group. However, while it's not exactly pleasant to find your senior manager...

Newegg.com, one of the most sucessful online retailers of computer hardware, appears to be eyeing the European market. Having cleared approximately 1.3 Billion USD in sales last year(5-7 Million dollars every day), the American etailer is considering targeting the european market via an...

And how does it show this?

As many of you will remember, Blue Security went under just a few weeks ago. The company offered a powerful antispam service called Blue Frog, and when it began to take a toll on spammers' networks, a russian spammer launched a massive DoS attack on their servers, overwhelming them with a...

Well, first of all, FSB is nearly synonymous with HTT anymore. Second of all, “HT bus” refers to Hyper Transport, which has nothing to do with our conversation. I was talking about the HTT. Well, assuming you are talking about hyper transport, you're right, but since AMD isn't changing that...

I think Conroe is going to be pretty sweet, but I don't think it's going to blow AMD out of the water like people are saying. Remember when intel compared their conroe to a "projected FX-62"? Conroe beat it by a fair amount, but independant tests showed the overclocked FX-60 performing...

Holy crap. The chip isn't even out yet. And look at that FSB. Conroe sure is going to be a nice overclocker.
