World's First Powerless Air Cooler on a Mainboard! "The "Air Power Cooler" transfers the chipset heat into air momentum, when the air becomes hot, the air will expand then push the fan to rotate and In doing so cooling the heatsink immediately. After the air moves from the bottom to top of the piston, the air will become heavy to push the up piston down. The better air piston design can transfer over 70% heat power and transfer to air power, that's great efficiency transfer from Stirling engine theory. In a comparison with solar power the transfer rate is only around 20~30% requiring more surface and as a result cost." One thing I DO like about this, is the fan wo…

ASUS Creates Upgradeable Graphics Cards "The vision of upgradeable graphic cards goes back to the late 1990s, when Micron Technology was experimenting with removable sockets. In 2006, both MSI and Gigabyte showcased upgradeable graphic cards, but their concepts, which were based on GeForce Go MXM boards, never took off. Earlier this year, Asus introduced a single board with three MXM slots for ATI Mobility Radeon 3850 or 3870 cards (upgradeable with future parts), and has now unveiled its single-MXM product."

Creative launches USB X-Fi "The USB sound card supports X-Fi Crystalizer, various CMSS-3D modes and EAX HD, which makes this a pretty high-end solution even compared to some of the cheaper PCI cards. As the product name suggests, there's support for 5.1-channel and this comes via three 3.5mm audio jacks. Furthermore, it has a 3.5mm jack for line-in and one for microphone input, as well as two RCA jacks for stereo audio out and an optical S/PDIF out for connecting to an external amplifier etc. At US$59.99 it's more affordable than the X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook for those looking at upgrading their notebook audio and it offers some additional features, but it's …

Battlefield 2 preview "LAS VEGAS--Microsoft surprised us by displaying a work-in-progress version of EA and DICE's Battlefield 2, the upcoming modern-day online warfare sequel, at its booth at the Consumer Electronics Show. But we weren't so surprised that we didn't immediately belly up and jump into the game to see how it will maintain the reputation of its vaunted namesake. Though there weren't a whole lot of people in the game, we did get to play around with the included player classes and several vehicles, and we can say with confidence, based on our playtime, that the spirit of the Battlefield series is certainly alive and well here." ....... .......
