D-Tek Fuzion and Fuzion GFX Waterblocks at Virtual-Hideout:

As water cooling continues to be the top extreme, feasible cooling method, more companies offer many, many variations of products aimed at improving upon performance. This typically requires months and months of machining and continued testing. Some ideas and designs make it and others are revamped till they are ready for release. Sometimes, we see several variations of products like back when AMD and Intel, as well as ATI an NVidia, kept changing socket and PCB designs like shirts. Many companies had to adjust and invest a lot of money to keep their cooling blocks up to date and able to work with as many processors as possible. This didn't help the industry and in fact, caused many users to not consider water cooling due to the increased confusion.

AMD Quad-Core Opteron (Barcelona) Technology Report at Tech ARP:

AMD is in the same boat as ATI. Delays after delays of their long-awaited Barcelona core not only ensured the dominance of their rival, Intel, in the desktop processor market, it also ensured that Intel would be the only choice for those who want a quad-core processor. Although that wait will end in August, 2007 when the Barcelona is finally launched, it remains to be seen if AMD's new processor will be able to inflict serious damage to Intel's dominance.

Windows Home Server Connector at Krunker:

The third bullet is an important aspect to Windows Home Server. It alludes to the remote administration capabilities of the Windows Home Server Connector software. As I mentioned in Part 1, once you have WHS installed, you can disconnect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse because you won’t (ideally) be needing them anymore.

E3 2007 Major Events Recap at Bona Fide Reviews:

The majority of the support from the Nintendo Wii at E3 came from Nintendo itself, which held a gigantic press conference to show off the Wii’s new titles, peripherals, and capabilities. At the top of the show was Wii Fit, an exercise game taking advantage of anew touch mat peripheral. Wii Fit is the next step in Nintendo’s campaign to having the Wii be “relevant to everyone in the home.” The game itself focuses on fitness and exercise, and tries, through a series of minigames and guided exercises in strength training, aerobics, balance, and yoga/flexibility training to provide a full body workout for the participant. The mat peripheral itself is essentially a gigantic guided pressure sensor. It can tell how much pressure is being placed on it and where at any given time.

Quality Control in Tech Today at HCW:

The line between hardware and software engineering is not only concealed from the consumer, but even a difficult one to pin down by computer experts. Is the hardware failing or are the drivers poorly written? Will software ever scrutinized as much as hardware? People depend on computer systems more every day – will this eventually cause a change in how these systems are designed to assure success, or will business continue to rely on attempting to control damages later? These are the interesting topics we should discuss.

The Laws of PhysX at Bit-tech:

It's fair to say that the PhysX card developed by Ageia has been a controversial new product for the geek and hardware enthusiast community ever since its introduction. It’s a fairly simple idea at its base level; a piece of hardware dedicated only to processing physics so that the graphics card and processor don’t get bogged down by the calculations, but it’s one which has struggled to catch on in quite the same way as other hardware devices.

Thermaltake iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad at ThinkComputers:

The iXoft failed to cool my laptop. In fact, it almost caused the laptop to overheat! The bottom fan was blocked, preventing cool airflow to the innards. Users with bottom-fanned laptops should probably avoid the iXoft. Others, however, might decide that the iXoft is right for them, especially MacBook users.

More letters at Dan's Data:

Before you installed the new video cards, your first two cards each had a 256Mb "memory hole" up above 3Gb, as normal. Now that you've swapped those for two more 256Mb cards, I suppose it's possible that the computer's decided to leave the previous two memory holes in place and stuck the I/O memory holes lower in the memory map, but I doubt it. It certainly does seem to have put the new memory holes lower in memory, but I don't think it's because it remembers where the other two cards used to be.
