On Tom's Hardware article on Networld+Interop 2004 Las Vegas Show Report - Wrap Up, from this page but it starts here! "ASUS also showed a wide line of switches including unmanaged, "smart" (VLAN, port control and QoS tagging) and fully-managed layer 2 and 3 switches in various combinations of 10/100 and 10/100/1000 port configurations. Its "smart" and managed models include quick-change fan modules, rack-mounting kits and dual-power capability. The mounting kit includes a simple, but robust post-and-hole feature that keeps switches from plummeting to the bottom of a rack if the mounting screws vibrate loose. On the low end of things, ASUS is trying to escape the fast…

Nvidia to pitch NV48 at ATI's R520 "Nvidia will launch against ATI's next-generation high-end graphics chip, the R520, in Q2 2005. So claim sources from among Taiwan's graphics card manufacturer community, cited by DigiTimes. They also allege that the part, codenamed NV48, will be fabbed by TSMC at 110nm, and not by IBM. The sources claim the move is a result of yields the Taiwanese foundry has achieved with the GeForce 6200 and 6600 chips. The shift from one manufacturing partner to another may account for the rumours that Nvidia had cancelled NV48. Certainly, the NV48 had been expected to appear late this year, according to Nvidia roadmaps doing the roun…

Looks like nVidia is back in the high-end chipset game with their new nForce3 250Gb chipset for the Athlon64!! Here is a blurb from AnandTech.com: "nVidia is very proud of their on-chip implementation of Gigabit LAN. The concept is very similar to Intel's CSA bus, which was introduced with the Intel 875 chipset, in that it moves communications off the slower PCI to a faster bus. However, nVidia carries the concept even further by implementing their Gigabit LAN on the single-chip nForce3-250GB. This removes the 1Gb LAN from all buses and allows performance at the internal speed of the chip." ~~drool~~ "nVidia has tried to address these types of security risks wit…

Virus hooks onto CNN headlines "E-mails laden with the virus, dubbed "Crowt.A" by Sophos, do not have a typical subject line and other characteristics, Sophos said. Instead, the virus sends out e-mail messages with subject lines, message content and attachment names drawn from the latest news headlines on CNN's Web site, which it gathers as it spreads. Very few Sophos customers have reported that they been affected by Crowt.A so far, the company said." Here is one for PurSuiT: Beware the Evil Twin "In essence, users think they've logged on to a wireless hotspot connection when, in fact, they've been tricked to connect to an attacker's unauthorised base statio…

NVIDIA's SLI Shortchanges Gamers? "According to NVIDIA’s marketing, NVIDIA’s Scalable Link Interface (SLI) "can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences." What NVIDIA fails to make clear, however, is that SLI currently requires NVIDIA to write driver profiles for each game to support SLI. Are all the games you want to play supported?"

ATI R520 "We have confirmed the 24 pipelines rumors from several independant sources. However, these 24 pipelines are not comparable to 24 of today's pipelines - multiply by 1.3. So the 24 pipelines will have the performance of 32 "normal" pipelines. The result of this is that the R520 will be two times as fast as the currently fastest X850s." Yeah, its rumor-mill stuff.... but most here will be drooling over the next flagship products from both houses!

Outsourcing costs more than in-house Alexa Bona, research director at Gartner, said businesses often fail to take hidden costs, such as in-house backup support to the outsourced function, into account. "The outsourced service is often more efficient, but then outsourcers need to make a profit too," she said.
