Remember those triple-core processors I told you about a while back? Well basically they were the quad-core processors that had only one damaged core and they were more or less repurposed as triple-core processors.
Imagine the XPS M1330, but about 2 inches larger in the diagonal, that’s pretty much what this laptop is. It has nVidia graphics, but to 256MB video ram, and the option for a Blu-Ray drive and HDMI out. It has Bluetooth, and WiFi N.
It offers up dual core processors from Intel, a card reader, a [...]
That means you can start expecting to see the new mobile graphics chips in your favorite high end laptop manufacturers product lines. They both work with DX9 and DX10 and include PowerMizer tech to keep power usage down when you aren’t gaming or watching HD content.
I had the pleasure of toying around with the Alienware [...]
So today, AMD released the worlds first comprehensive PC building platform, it involves a specific chipset, processor, and graphics solution, all three of which come from AMD. The platform has been given the codename of Spider.

The 40GB [...]
The xw6600 and xw8600 will be making use of your choice of Xeon 5200 and 5400 the second digit in those numbers representing the number of cores each has. So the 5200 has 2 cores and the 5400 has 4 cores.
Those two machines have a pair of sockets each meaning you can have up to [...]
So let’s say you have roughly $5000 sitting around and want to make a supercomputer. You could try and hunt for the necessary hardware, such as RISC processors, motherboards with high speed bus’ stuff like that, and probably spend a small fortune, or you could buy 8 PS3s.
I don’t know how much you do or [...]
Umm, lets see, what’s new, first off the X38 chipset which allows for the 1333MHz front side bus. There are 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 ports, meaning you can install a SLI setup if you wish.
