At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your site's news section would be greatly appreciated. Title: Overclocking The NVIDIA Quadro FX1700 ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12341 Summary: "Back in March we had reviewed the Quadro FX1700 512MB graphics card, which is NVIDIA's lower-end OpenGL 2.1 workstation graphics card that's based upon the consumer G84 core. In the benchmarks that had followed, we had compared the Quadro FX1700 performance under Windows, Linux, and Solaris. We had found the performance of this Quadro graphics card performed well under all three platforms, but Ubuntu Linux had led the race. We are now preparing a review of the high-end ATI FireGL V8600 1GB graphics card for publishing in the coming days, but we have stumbled upon some results from the FX1700 that never ended up making it out earlier. Specifically we had overclocked the Quadro FX1700 with CoolBits and it had actually worked out quite well. In this article are the overclocking results from this NVIDIA workstation graphics card as well as comparing the performance to an ATI Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB graphics card."

Hi all, We have just published some news regarding the removal of DirectX 10.1 from Assassin's Creed, in which we talk with AMD, Nvidia and Ubisoft - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/05/12/ubisoft-caught-in-assassin-s-creed-marketing-war/1 *Quote:* "I spoke to Richard Huddy, AMD's head of developer relations, on Friday in an attempt to find out when we can expect to see the path implemented again, because I'm sure that owners of Radeon HD 3000-series graphics cards aren't too happy that they're missing out on a 20 percent performance increase (when AA is enabled). Huddy said that he is working hard with his team to get DirectX 10.1 support back into the title for Radeon HD 3000 graphics card owners. I pressed this point further on Saturday during a call with Nvidia spokesperson Ken Brown, and asked him if Nvidia had requested for DirectX 10.1 content to be removed from the game. "/We aren't in the business of stifling innovation - it's ludicrous to assume otherwise. Remember that we were the first to bring DirectX 10 hardware to the market and we invested hundreds of millions of dollars on tools, engineers and support for developers in order to get DirectX 10 games out as quickly as possible,/" said Brown. That response was to the point, but I felt it was worth pushing from another angle. I asked him if Nvidia ever signs exclusive deals with developers. "/Every developer we've worked with on TWIMTBP has not been part of an exclusive arrangement - we do not prevent any developer from working with other hardware vendors,/" responded Brown. "/Assassin's Creed is a great example of this because both Nvidia and ATI developer relations teams worked with Ubisoft to help during the development phase./""* *Cheers guys!

Today we look at the Super Talent Pico: World Smallest Flash Drive. SNIP: I often thought that US customers have such a narrow selection when it comes to the USB flash drives. Look at Far East counties, like Japan, Korean, and Taiwan, and you can see an array of flash drives in different shapes and forms. Of course, having a flashy looking drive really does not offer anything else as a flash drive is a flash drive. However, I do think that as long as a flash drive is able to deliver the performance, having an exotic and eye-catching looks is certainly a plus. A few week ago, Super Talent has released world smallest flash drive—Pico. I was so excited to see that finally someone has released something unique and different in the US. I am so excited that I thought I must take a look at this baby and the folks at Super Talent are extremely generous and sent one out to us for review really fast. So, here we are today, let’s take this drive out for a spin, shall we. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1268 A post on your site would be great if you can.

Hi all, We have just published a review of *DFI's LANParty LT X48 T2R motherboard* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/05/12/dfi-lanparty-lt-x48-t2r/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/05/dfi-lanparty-lt-x48-t2r/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"For a DDR2 board the gaming performance is very good, outperforming even the Nvidia nForce 780i SLI board in all of our gaming tests. It can't keep up with the DDR3 boards, but buying 4GB of DDR2 is still a fraction of the cost of even 2GB of DDR3 -- that alone will offer significant headroom for games as well. It is more expensive than its X38 brethren and you'd be hard pressed to tell the two apart if they were standing side by side. However, if you were concerned about price you'll probably want to wait for the P45 launch anyway. It's not power friendly either, but DFI has never claimed to even care -- it's not about the latest bandwagon, it's about being true to its core, of which it does in spades. The incredible north bridge heatsink and its simple interchangeability is no greater example of this -- you're free to replace it with anything you like because they are no heatpipes. If you love your DFI boards then you'll be onto a winner with the LANParty LT X48 T2R -- everything you need out of Intel's X48 chipset is provided and there's a lot of fun and time investment to be had with it. After talking to BIOS engineers and others in DFI's QA team, the limitations we've been finding are essentially chipset level and there's plenty of beta BIOS out there to try on DFI communities that only add to its true, core-enthusiast appeal. However finding these places and knowing who to ask isn't the most obvious thing on earth -- DFI should fill its manual with more BIOS details, overclocking tips and support forum links for new DFI owners can dive into. This "left to get on with it" is //harsh to say the least. All in all, it's well priced, well featured, great looking and it can be very stable. While our concern this that if you lack patience or don't have much time to learn then look elsewhere -- the LANParty LT X48 T2R is certainly not for everyone, and while we think DFI //can do better in the experience as a whole, it'll still be perfect for some of you." / * *Cheers guys!

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the Mushkin Ascent XP3 16000 2 x 1 GB Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "Having to test modules rated for 1000 MHz (2000 MHz effective) presents some unique challenges. First of all, you need a board that can push 1000 MHz+ on the northbridge. Second, you need a chip that can run speeds of 500+ MHz to run 1:1 when testing. Well, we have the next best thing. Since my poor Q9450 just won't let me play in the 500 MHZ range, I had to look at the alternatives. The modules are designed to run on an nVidia 790i SLI chipset based motherboard, so thats what I did. Because of FSB holes, or a poor divider, I was not able to gain any speed over 2000 MHz at the rated latencies of 9-9-9-24. So instead of going higher, I decided to try and see how tight I could run the latencies. 2000 MHz at the stock volts of 1.9 to 2.0 volts and 9-9-9-24 was a cake walk. Heck, it should be. Now it got a little interesting. First up was 9-9-8-24, good so far. Then down to 9-8-8, then 8-8-8 - I thought this looked promising. After a few hours of test and repeat, latencies of 8-8-8 were a reality at 2000 MHz. Hmmm, let me push my luck at 8-7-7-24. Surprisingly, this fell after another session of test and repeat benchmarking. "Can there be more?" I asked. Well, yes there was. CAS 7 was a no go at 2000 MHz, but 8-7-6-24 was good. However, it would lock up randomly in a few tests. With the voltage adjustments I had been successful with, they still would not allow it to happen. So, I figured I'd start low-balling the voltage to the DIMMs, and ended up at 1.82 volts for my game and benchmark stability."

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Visual) - Palit 9600GT Sonic 1GB Graphics Card QUOTE: "Palit are back again with another 9600GT. While this model is a Sonic variant, this one also sports 1GB of memory. What’s cool about this card is that more often than not you have two options when it comes to getting a card other than stock. You can get yourself one with more memory, which generally comes under the “Super” naming scheme; the other option is that you get yourself an overclocked model. This comes under the “Sonic” naming scheme for Palit. Today we’ve got ourselves a 1GB card which also happens to be overclocked. Unfortunately Palit has called it the 9600GT 1GB Sonic; personally I think they should have called it the 9600GT 1GB Super Sonic which just sounds plain cool, and since the card carries with it an overclock and more memory, it’s more than appropriate."

Hello News Partner: Benchmark Reviews has released a new article which your readers might enjoy. We would be grateful if you would please share it with them. TITLE: DDR3 RAM: System Memory Technology Explained ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews DESCRIPTION: These are uncertain financial times we live in today, and the rise and fall of our economy has had direct affect on consumer spending. It has already been one full year now that DDR3 has been patiently waiting for the enthusiast community to give it proper consideration, yet it's success is still undermined by misconceptions and high price. Benchmark Reviews has been testing DDR3 more actively than anyone, which is why over fifteen different kits fill our System Memory section of reviews. Sadly, it might take an article like this to open the eyes of my fellow hardware enthusiast and overclocker, because it seems like DDR3 is the technology nobody wants bad enough to learn about. Pity, because overclocking is what it's all about.

Hi all, We have posted a review of Razer's high-end 2.1 sound system, the Mako. Title: Razer/THX Mako 2.1-Channel Speaker System Link: http://techgage.com/article/razerthx_mako_21-channel_speaker_system/ Quote: Razer is well-known for producing high-quality peripherals, but audio can be an entirely different bag. Our concerns over their new found venture can be set aside though, as the tag team effort between them and THX helped build an amazing 2.1 system that's actually worth its $400 price tag.
