AMD Phenom II 550 x4 :)

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:29:00 +0000

Yes, I have one.... AMD Phenom II 550 with 4 cores (after unlock in BIOS). The CPU runs stable up to 3,6GHz, in different Benchmark test even in a 24h CPU burn in Test. I run the CPU with 3,4Ghz that´s fast enough :) I´m lucky one.

So maybe you will try your luck 2 ? Have fun.

Windows 7 is ready now

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 09:40:00 +0000

that is what Microsoft say.
And I´m also sure about that. I tested the MS Windows 7 beta and RC1. And I would rather use MS Windows 7 beta that MS Windows Vista. Windows 7 is much faster and much more comfortable that Vista. And you have tha subjective fealing that your system is running faster than with Vista. I tryed Windows 7 with my Notebook (no further driver needet to install - IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad R61i with 3GB RAM and Core2Duo with 1,5GHz) was fastern than Vista ond my newer Notebook (IBM/Lenove ThinkPad SL500 with 4GB and Core2Duo 2,4GHz).
After that test I downgrade Vista ----> Windows XP .... much better! :)

But I also look forward to use Windows 7. (Of course as dual boot with my Ubuntu system)

Personaly I think Windows 7 is that what Windows Vista should be....

AMD with PowerSaving 45nm

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Sun, 31 May 2009 08:32:00 +0000

The new AMD Opteron is the first 45-nanometer chip made by Advanced Micro Devices. The new processors are being shipped ahead of schedule and promises faster performance while using 35 percent less power consumption.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc is shipping its next generation of AMD Opteron chips ahead of schedule. The new AMD processor offers faster performance with 35 percent less power consumption.

AMD Opteron is a quad core processor which are used in servers. The company shipped the new processor months ahead of schedule to compete with rival Intel Corp. Intel currently has 80 percent of the global market for microprocessors.

The new AMD Opteron is also code-named "Shanghai" which was first unveiled last year. The quad core is the first 45-nanometer chip made by the company. Each core operates independently on the chip. The chip is also smaller in size than the previous generation of processors.

The new processor is energy efficient which can automatically turn off non-working parts which are not in use. Overall, the new chip uses 35 percent less energy.

There are two versions of the AMD Opteron chip available. The second processor is a more enhanced version which will be available at the end of the month. IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and Dell are among 25 systems vendors who will be shipping servers this quarter with the new Opteron chip installed.

Dell earnings down!

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Thu, 28 May 2009 21:37:00 +0000

That is real hard for Dell because they earnings down 64 percent from last year!

The PC maker announced Thursday it recorded a net income of $290 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, and earnings of 24 cents per share, or 15 cents per share when accounting for write downs from severance pay and factory closings during the quarter. That's down 63 percent from the $784 million, and 38 cents per share recorded a year ago. Revenues were also down 23 percent to $12.3 billion.

Analysts on average had been expecting revenue of $12.66 billion, and earnings between 19 cents and 27 cents per share.

"It started out as a slow first (fiscal) quarter. It picked up a bit in the second half of the quarter," Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden said on a call with reporters Thursday. But he said it was "still a challenging IT demand environment" and emphasized that Dell is not yet ready to say that the drop in demand has yet reached its lowest point.

Dell has been saying for the last few quarters that since its core customer base--corporate IT departments--are being battered by the economy, it would try to focus on internal housekeeping tasks like cutting expenses and operating costs. Gladden said the company's operating expenses had fallen by $101 million from the previous quarter and by $312 million from a year ago.

Despite that, Dell is still facing major challenges. Revenues decreased in every major business unit significantly, though a relatively bright spot appeared to be the consumer group. Consumer revenue was down 16 percent to $2.8 billion, and consumer shipments rose 12 percent from a year ago. It's been spending much more on research and development on products down in Round Rock, Texas, and produced yet another Netbook, and more notebook models--including the high-priced Adamo--during the quarter.

Asus Radeon HD 4890

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:07:00 +0000

ASUS 'EAH4890 videocard is going to capture the attention of a lot of enthusiasts. ATI's Radeon HD 4890 has so far proved to be one of the fastest single-GPU videocards on the market. The closest performing counterpart from NVIDIA, the Geforce GTX 285, is significantly more expensive. Combine that with the ability to play pretty much any game at 1920 x 1200 resolution with all eye candy options turned to their maximum, and the ASUS EAH4890 HTDI/1GD5/A is a compelling videocard for anyone who's serious about having a high-quality gaming experience.

Integrated Chipsets Today

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 10:29:00 +0000

Enthusiasts used to fear the “integrated” moniker, as it generally meant both pathetic performance and inflexibility, regardless of whether the chipset was provided by AMD, Intel, Nvidia, SiS, VIA, or someone else. But those days are now long past. Even the cheapest desktop system you can get today will be fast enough to browse the Web, work on office files, and play multimedia content.

Today’s integrated chipsets not only include relatively flexible graphics units, they also come with quick network controllers, plenty of USB and storage interfaces, and limited--but still available--upgrade paths. Many of them can even be paired with high-performance processors, turning these systems into fairly muscular desktop PCs.

Skype for iPhone

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:53:00 +0000

Apple has been guarded about adding iPhone apps that perform functions its built-in features handle: The absence of third-party choice in browsers is one good example. Yet, although there's hardly a more core function of the device than making calls, a few VoIP apps have made the cut. Now you can include Skype in that number. Why is Skype for iPhone (and iPod Touch) a big deal? Consider this: On a recent bus ride from New York to Boston, I found that the vehicle had its own Wi-Fi signal. So, if I'd wanted to, I could have talked with my friend in London for free during the whole journey. iPhone users can now make free calls anywhere they have WiFi access, without lugging a laptop. And they still get Skype's trademark slick interface design and clear call quality.

Beware of Conficker C

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 11:37:00 +0000

Every few years security experts are racing against time to mitgate the impact of a bit of malware whitch is set to wreak havoc on a hard-coded date. Often the date is April 1. Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years. Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent.
The "D-Day" should be the April 1, but no one is really sure when it will be exactly! So be careful and keep your Antivirusprogram up to date!

SSD Drives, GB up – Price down

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 09:45:00 +0000

Today is a SSD (Solid State Disc) affordable but compared with a common 2,5” HDD still expensive. You can have ha 320GB or even a 500GB 2,5” HDD only for some bucks more than a 250GB drive. But an SSD would cost more than twice as much.
A quite cheap SSD with good transfer rates is about 30GB which you can have for about $100. But in the next few years that will change. The manufacturers expect SSD prices hit the same level as hard drives of the same capacity in the near future. And a 256GB SSD will be available this year but still for a high price I think.

The best chance to get some U2 tickets is with GET ME IN! As the leading marketplace in Europe where you can sell or buy e.g. U2 tickets in a safe and guaranteed way.

Intel vs. AMD - Next Round

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:50:00 +0000

Intel sent a notice to Advanced Micro Devices that AMD has breached a patent cross-licensing agreement from 2001. The agreement covered royalty payments by AMD in regards to aspects of the x86 instruction set used in CPUs, as well as foundry and production rights.
AMD defended itself, with Harry Wolin, AMD's Senior Vice President and General Counsel, stating that Intel's unilateral "purported attempt to terminate the Company’s rights and licenses under the Cross License itself constitutes a material breach of the Cross License by Intel".
Under the terms of the license agreement, the notification to AMD means the two parties will attempt to resolve the dispute through third party mediation. Otherwise Intel could shut down AMD´s CPU production completely in two month.

Schumachers Mercedes Benz

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:12:00 +0000

Nearly every body in the world (where cars are known) knows the name Mercedes Benz. In fact it is perhaps the most famous name associated with German automobile manufacture. But Mercedes Benz is not only a name of a company manufacturing cars it is also a synonym for high quality and durability and even luxury.
So nowadays a Mercedes Benz is maybe the best car you can get for your money. It is not only the modern dynamic style of the car, the high quality but also the feeling of safety while siting inside. But why I should now talk long around? The best is you will have a look and visit Phoenix Mercedes Benz. Mr. Schumacher it selfs will guide you and introduce the new cars to you.

Turbo-Charging Batteries

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:56:00 +0000

I´m sure that everybody knows that charging batteries take some time - that means some hours. But now MIT professor Gerbrand Ceder and fellow researcher Byoungwoo Kang have developed a battery material they say can both discharge and recharge its energy up to 100 times faster than of today´s batteries. So we could be able to charge a cellphone battery within a few seconds. That also could help to develop cars powered with batteries. They developed a new lithium iron phosphate particles in a glassy film (lithium pyrophosphate) just a few nanometers thick. New batteries should be available within 2 or 3 years.

CeBit 2009 Results

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:39:00 +0000

The CeBit in Hannover (Germany) is now over and with 400,000 visitors there were 100,000 less than last year, that is a loss of 20 per cent. Also the exhibitors (4300 companies) dropping around 20 per cent on last year.
But the tune is quite positive. The visitors say "It is not so overcrowded" And the exhibitors say "We have now more quality instead of quantity and our orders books are well inked" - so everybody is satisfied.
Some 100 political delegations also jumped on the IT bandwagon to spend some time in Hangover for the show.
But in fact there was nothing really new this time.

First Dual 1366 Socket Main Board

noreply@blogger.com (onwebcheck) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:23:00 +0000

So have a look at the first dual 1366 socket main board from Asus.

This ASUS main board is in 12'' x 9.6'' ATX form factor. Among the features highlighted by the manufacturer, I can count the fact that it is the first dual processor ATX motherboard in the world, which fits perfectly into any standard PC chassis.

In addition, it has 24+8 pin power connector with support for both ATX and SSI power supplies. The standard ATX power supply is meant to reduce the costs, while the server SSI power supply is able to deliver enhanced performance and expandability. Moreover, the board allows for a wide range of processors and memory modules to be installed.

The ASUS Z8NA-D6 motherboard is able to provide support for next-generation Intel Quad-Core Xeon 5500 series processors, and features the Intel 5500 chipset + ICH10R. The memory options range from 48GB RDIMM to 24GB UDIMM, with or without ECC, DDR3 800/1066/1333 RDIMM/UDIMM.

The expansion slots available on the board include one PCI-Express x16 slot (x16Link), two PCI-Express x8 slots (x4Link), one PIKE slot for storage expansion, as well as one MID slot for a discrete audio card. There are six SATA2 300MB/s ports, and the mobo supports software RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5. It also features LSI MegaRAID for both Linux and Windows, with support software for RAID 0, 1 and 10.
