Hi, We've just posted a new article on our website, Hardware Secrets. Title: SLI vs. CrossFire Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/391 Category: Articles Summary: Everything you need to know about SLI and CrossFire, including the latest 3-way SLI and CrossFireX technologies. Updated to include Hybrid SLI and Hybrid CrossFireX technologies. Here is a snippet: "With the recent release of CrossFireX by AMD/ATI and 3-way SLI by nVidia we think it is a good time to make a technical comparison between all incarnations of these two technologies, which have the same goal: to allow video cards to be connected in parallel in order to increase gaming performance." A news post would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gabriel Torres Editor-in-Chief Hardware Secrets http://www.hardwaresecrets.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! "LAKS' DVB-T Watch puts an innovative spin on watching digital TV broadcasts on the move. You'll probably spend a lot of time tweaking the software's settings and moving the aerial to get the best reception, but most other devices have the same 'problem' in terms of a lack of decent mobile reception. Let's be clear though: you'll never get high definition video or outstanding audio quality. And the fact you have to take the watch off or hook a laptop up to your wrist is bizarre. Nevertheless, we're all for innovation and the DVB-T Watch would make a great gift for any self-respecting DVB-T fan. If we could change one thing it would be to eliminate the need to install any software - how cool would it be to just plug the watch into your PC at work and kick back to The Sarah Connor Chronicles." http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=728 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____

The do_corefump function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.24-rc3 did not change the UID of a core dump file if it exists before a root process creates a core dump in the same location, which could possibly allow local users to obtain sensitive information (CVE-2007-6206). The shmem_getpage function in mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel versions 2.6.11 through 2.6.23 did not properly clear allocated memory in certain rare circumstances related to tmps, which could possibly allow local users to read sensitive kernel data or cause a crash (CVE-2007-6417). Additionally, this kernel provides a fix for megaraid_sas and updates it to version 3.13, updates mptsas to version 3.12.19, and updates e1000-ng to version 7.6.12, as well as adds igb version 1.0.8.

Greetings, Overclockers Online has posted a new review. A news post would be greatly appreciated. Title: Mitron Duplus DUP-35 HDD Selector at Overclockers Online Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1691 Quote: Mitron's HDD Selector is a very clever device which allows the user to switch hard drives when necessary. The unit was very easy to install, and works flawlessly. The only drawback of this design is the limited control of two hard drives. Thanks for the post.

Hello, Auras Fridge JES-988 Passive VGA Cooler Review "After-market cooling solutions have never been so popular, every month new units are released and it was not too long ago when the first Auras Fridge sample arrived at our testing lab. Auras might not be known by many, but they have been around for nearly 9 years which not only makes them very experienced in what they do, they also know quite well how to bring out attractive products with a high price/performance ratio. Today, we gladly look closer at the JES-988 video card heatsink, continue reading if you want to find out how it this passive VGA cooler performs." http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=815 __________________ Thank you in advance for posting,

Hello Everyone, We're writing to let you all know that we've just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate Diamond Multimedia's Viper Radeon HD 3850 512MB Overclocked Ruby Edition graphics card - perhaps one of the longest names for a single product that we've come across. As its name suggests, the Viper Radeon HD 3850 512MB Overclocked Ruby Edition's frame buffer has been doubled from the reference card's 256MB to 512MB. Additionally, Diamond has gone an extra step and raised GPU and memory speeds from the default 670MHz / 830MHz of the original reference design to 725Mhz / 900MHz. Higher speeds and more memory just might be what the doctor ordered to make the Diamond Viper HD 3850 512MB a bit more competitive in an already crowded field of mainstream graphics cards. Head on over to the site and check it out...

Optimize USB Drive Performance in Vista ( -at -) [OC]ModShop Another one of our articles shows you how to speed up SATA hard drive performance in Windows Vista by enabling advanced write caching. A similar performance tweak can increase USB drive performance, by using more system memory as a write cache, which significantly increases performance when writing to the disk. Flash-based USB devices can benefit greatly from this tweak, as many of these drives peak at a 6 or 7-megabyte per second write speed. The storage capacities of today's flash drives are measured by the gigabyte, so filling up an 8GB or 16GB drive can be a long process. This tweak won't magically make the silicon in the drive work faster, so copying 8GB of MP3s will take just as long from start to finish with or without this tweak. Relative drive performance improves by making the device available sooner for other processes, like when you're using portable applications on the device or transferring small batches of files.

MacPractice and Parallel Software announce integrated card processing - Published on 04/15/08 Parallel Software and MacPractice, Inc. announce availability as of April 15 of integrated credit card and debit card processing for all of the MacPractice suite of practice management and clinical applications. The integration allows the user to process and journal credit and debit transactions within their patient's accounting record at minimum per transaction cost. Lincoln, Nebraska - Parallel Software and MacPractice, Inc. announce availability as of April 15 of integrated credit card and debit card processing for all of the MacPractice suite of practice management and clinical applications. The integration allows the user to process and journal credit and debit transactions within their patient's accounting record at minimum per transaction cost. Mark Hollis, the President of MacPractice, Inc. announced the availability of credit and debit card processing in each of MacPractice's portfolio of products. Mr. Hollis said that "his chief concerns in offering this capability were to work with an established partner to provide clients tight integration for the greatest staff efficiency at the lowest cost." John McMahon, President and CEO of Parallel Software stated that "when he saw the ease of use and elegance of MacPractice software, he was challenged to develop a credit and debit card system that matches this ease of use and yet lowers the transaction fees that doctors typically pay.

Armed with an nForce 780i SLI motherboard and a set of GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB video cards in 3-way SLI, we push the limits of graphics technology on our 30" Dell monitor at a resolution of 2560x1600. A couple of months ago we showed you 3-way SLI with a set of GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards, but today that is old news. Sit back and see what 3-way SLI looks like with a set of GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards! Quote: "Today is April 15th, 2008 and that means that it is the day taxes are due in the United States. While this is a time of stress for many Americans it shouldn't be as you might be one of the many that is expecting a substantial income tax refund this year. It turns out that over 70 percent of Americans get money back at the end of the tax year, with the average refund being close to $2,000! Rather than having those precious dollars being absorbed into your normal spending routine or being used wisely to pay off bills you could do something crazy with your refund, get three GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards for triple SLI! Actually, with a street price of $289 plus shipping buying the graphics cards will only set you back $867. This sounds like a large amount, but keep in mind a single GeForce 8800 Ultra cost $829 when it launched back in early 2007..."

Hi all, We have just published an early look at the *Asus Eee PC 900* with lots of pictures and some early thoughts ahead of our full review - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/04/15/unboxing_the_asus_eee_pc_900/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/04/unboxing_the_asus_eee_pc_900/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"Another cool feature is the Macbook Air-esque (I just died inside) multi-touch trackpad, so you can use two fingers to zoom and scroll. While the scroll works in everything, the zoom function is currently limited to Works, StarSuite 8 and Adobe Reader. There's also a new OS option: Windows XP Home. That will make the extra memory and storage evaporate, although it is now open to a wealth of other software and more immediately familiar to non-Linux users. Included in the package are Microsoft Works, Intervideo DVD XPack and Sun StarSuite (databases, spreadsheet, presentation, illustration and word processing – basically a “slim†Microsoft Office). The problem with the XP version is that despite the larger screen resolution, you still have to scroll up and down the desktop - that's not ideal. // The 20GB Linux model pictured below should retail for £329 in the UK, which is only a modest increase in price considering the advantages. Our resident games expert, Joe, recently spent £250 on an Eee PC and is now regretting it – the extra screen room makes a huge difference and the added storage is a definite boon. The Windows XP version will only ship with 12GB of hard drive space but will retail for the same price. Because of this, we'd absolutely suggest buying the Linux version and then shoehorning XP into the 20GB model." / * *Cheers guys! Tim Smalley www.bit-tech.net

At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your site's news section would be greatly appreciated. Title: AMD Opteron 2356 Dual Quad-Core ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12208 Summary: "When looking at the AMD Phenom 9500 under Linux, we had found this processor had posed a number of issues from kernel panics to other troubles when running Ubuntu 7.10 with the Linux 2.6.22 kernel. Once, however, upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 with the Linux 2.6.24 kernel these problems had vanished and we were pleased by this native quad-core desktop processor from AMD. Released a month prior to the first Phenom desktop CPUs were the quad-core Opteron 2300 "Barcelona" processors. We hadn't looked at any AMD Barcelona processors at that time, but today we finally have our hands on two of the new AMD Opteron 2356 server/workstation processors. The Opteron 2356 CPUs come clocked at 2.30GHz, and is a revision B3 Opteron meaning that it has a proper fix for the TLB erratum -- this model was introduced only earlier this month. We have benchmarked the new Opteron 2356 in both single and dual CPU configurations and have compared the results -- under Linux -- to two of Intel's quad-core Xeon processors."

Dear Editors, we just posted a new article which might be interesting to your readers. A post in your news section would be appreciated.

Hello Technology News Community, I4U NEWS reviews the Foxconn 9600 GT OC Video Card. Quote from the review: "Today we are looking at the Foxconn 9600 GT OC video card. As the name implies this is a factory overclocked 9600 GT video card that offers good performance at a good price. The Foxconn 9600 GT OC performed well, but was on average 300 points lower on 3DMark06 than the other overclocked 9600 GT video cards I have tested. In the real world that performance difference equates to around 3 fps slower on average when playing video games. The difference is minimal in performance, but the Foxconn 9600 GT OC lacks a bundle whereas other cards include first rate video games as well."
