Nvidia's 8800 goes mobile!

Nvidia's flagship GPU, the 8800 is gonna be available for laptops now!
This doesn't come with the 768 MB that its desktop counterpart offers, but still offers a really modest 512 MB.Also, companies like Dell offers SLI too on their XPS M1730 gaming laptop, giving a total of 1 whole GB of graphics memory, on a portable notebook!!!Coupled with some powerful Centrino duo processors, your games will look simply AWEsome!!
This is SO cool isn't it?

PS3 'Becomes' 40!The Big Daddy-120!!

No, not 40 years old, I'm talking about the new 40GB version of the PS3!
This is simply awesome.The always powerful but pricey PS3 has finally gone low enough for shallow-pocket buyers to consider.This could easily make it one of the most value-for-money multimedia entertainment solutions available right now, considering it has a Blu-Ray drive and HD capabilities.
The price has gone down from [approx, for 60GB] Rs 32,000 to Rs 24,990!
Also since Blu-Ray has won the format war, I might just say Microsoft's Xbox 360 is gonna take a pretty decent hit...
The PS3 when compared to the Xbox or Nintendo Wii, is good value taking into consideration the stuff you get by spending the extra money.
ALSO, it seems there is a 120GB PS3 also coming up!That is much needed, since 60GB [that too a hard disk] for a multimedia device is nothing to brag about.I honestly feel it could use 320GB, if not more!
The 40GB is a great buy right now.
What PS3 now needs the most I feel, is-A SLIMLINE VERSION!A low profile PS3 would look just deadly.
Till then, lets just enjoy what is already available!

45 nm Core2 Extreme!

It used to be 'Extreme'ly powerful, now its extremely small as well!!
The Core2 Extreme QX9650 has arrived, now with 45 nm transistors.
This means better energy efficiency, more power and in general-better utilisation of space, as a lot more of 45nm transistors can be embedded on a given silicon wafer than 65nm ones, thus contributing to better performance on the same space.
Intel hasn't done this too early, since AMD is hot on their heels with the Phenom 9000 series, the real quad-core chip.
There is also a QX9770 and QX9775,the former having a 3.2Ghz clock, and an earth shattering 1600Mhz FSB!!!Too cool isn't it?Hope they bring out another with 2000Mhz FSB next!!!
Lets hope they keep it coming!

Long time, no see......

You will not see much of me in the coming months, I've got my final exams comin up.I know I am a bad blogger, and I apologize.I just dont have much time.I like a blog to be neat, which of course, takes time!So I'll give it my best shot.
Stay tuned!

"voici'n the Phenom"!!

Not poison and venom, here its the new AMD Phenom range!
AMD has unveiled their quad-core on a single die solution!The quad-core is the '9-series'.This will pose some serious competition for the Intel Core2 Quad and Extreme line up.It will have great energy efficiency, and excellent performance too.It's clock rate is suprising, for a single die solution-upto 2.5Ghz!Cache is low, just 512 kb X 4.
There is also the 8-series, consisting of-triple core processors?!?!? :-o
That's novel, albeit crazy!Usually, we put the number of cores just like RAM, in designs of 2,4,8,16,32 etc so this is weird!Wonder if Intel also decides to introduce something like this soon...
I get a feeling of deja vu here... Pentium D and AMD's real dual-core Athlon 64 X2, remember?
So where could Intel's "Core4 Quad" be????!!!!

Silent night, Startling night.....

I was all alone.My parents had gone out to buy provisions.It was relatively cool so no fans were on.I was completing a school project, while listening to music on my iPod connected to a 5.1 channel home theatre.The home theatre is not a high end model or anything but has 4000W P.M.P.O, which is more than enough for me.I attached no external amplifiers or such.
I was listening to Daddy Yankee's song 'Rompe'.For those who don't know the song-towards the end, it fades with some people saying 'who's this?'.I knew the next song was gonna be bad so I went near the iPod, ready to change it.The song faded completely, or so I thought.
Suddenly, I heard someone say 'who's this!' distinctly to my left behind me!!
I spun around, REALLY startled.I thought someone was outside and said that to scare me!Nonetheless, I cautiosly opened the window and looked outside with my flashlight.Nothing.I thought about it, and decided to play the last few seconds of the song.The usual 'who's this' played and faded.Then, distinctly louder but not enough to be heard if any other noises are present, was the real culprit-the last 'who's this' in the recording.It was placed SO strategically- right behind me!!!
I was so focussed on completing my project that I did'nt even consider that the speakers could have played it!!!

Digicam corrupted?Do not fear!

I had this digital camera which got messed up pretty bad, to say the least.I tried many apps to try and get the pictures out.One was a stupid demo version of a software that costs $69.It located the pics, but said I could only retreive them once I buy the full version!
I was furious.I later looked out for good freeware.
Thats when I got PhotoRec.
I downloaded the thing easily[just some 1.2 or 1.5MB!]I scanned the camera with it.It not only found the same photos as the demo one, but also more than the other!!![Ones that I had erased on purpose!]
PhotoRec is good.I give it my recommendation.In case you're planning to search for a download on Google though, it may take some time.Most links are just descriptions of it.So I decided to give u the link to the site which I got it from-
www.artplus.hr/adapps/eng/downloads.htm
If something goes wrong though, DONT put the blame on me!Read other reviews about it, then decide whether it will suits your needs or not.
Happy recovering!!!
