WD Ships 600GB VelociRaptor Drives The WD6000HLHX ($329 list) 600GB drive supports the new 6-Gbps SATA interface, which may make for data transfer speeds up to 15 percent faster than could be achieved with the previous 300GB drive. An increase in cache from 16MB to 32MB will also provide another performance boost. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2362310,00.asp

Intel and Micron Double Flash Storage Capacity http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/arti...meter_nand.html The 25nm process produces 8 gigabytes (GB) of storage in a single NAND device, creating a high-capacity storage solution for today's tiny consumer gadgets. It measures just 167mm2 -- small enough to fit through the hole in the middle of a compact disc (CD), yet packs more than 10 times the data capacity of that CD (a standard CD holds 700 megabytes of data)."

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10414903-1.html At only 9.5mm, the regular 2.5-inch laptop hard drive is already very thin compared with the 25.4mm of the 3.5-inch desktop hard drive. But Seagate, one of the bigger hard-drive makers around, just decided to go even slimmer. The company announced Monday the Momentus Thin, a new 2.5-inch-based laptop hard drive that's 25 percent thinner, at only 7mm.

First off the starting blocks will be ATi's Radeon HD 5800 series of cards (starting with the HD 5850 and 5870), which should be hitting stores as early as next month. Nvidia's first line of DX11 cards - the GT300 range - will follow in December. Suddenly, my 8800 GT doesn't look so trusty anymore. http://kotaku.com/5350558/here-come-the-fi...irectx-11-cards http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20090901PD204.html DIGITIMES Nvidia and AMD readying for DirectX 11 Monica Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Tuesday 1 September 2009] Nvidia and AMD are preparing to launch their latest DirectX 11 supporting GPUs in the second half o…

USB 3.0 start to appear, sort of "USB 3.0 hasn't yet been fully completed but it's implementation could come more quickly than its predecessor's did. Vendors are already starting to prepare their computer hardware for the new bus standard. Today, for example, we saw an upcoming Asus notebook with a pair of USB 3.0 ports. Well, sort of. The ports are actually rated as USB 2.0 devices and didn't appear to have the extra pins required by the new version of the bus. However, the spaces where those pins will go were clearly present."

Radeon 3870 X2 works at 825MHz "ATI dared to clock two RV670 chips to over 775MHz, and it realized that its dual slot cooler can cool this chip all the way to 825MHz. This is the current clock of Radeon 3870 X2, but some partners might clock it a bit faster. This is the minimal clock of the card. ATI clocked it at over 800MHz in order to break one Teraflop, and this will be the first card to do that, while Nvidia’s Geforce 9800 GX2 will be the second to go over this mark." HD3870X2 delayed, benchmarked "AMD HAS riled world+dog by back the date on the 3870X2 launch. NDA’d for today, the twin engine graphics card was supposed to shock and awe consumers a…

According to Marvel, the SheevaPlug draws less than one tenth of the power of a typical PC being used as a home server. Though very much similar to a Powerline adapter in shape and size, the SheevaPlug computer contains a gigahertz class processor to offer PC-like performance. The current model uses a Marvell Kirkwood processor running at 1.2GHz, is equipped with 512 MB of Flash storage and 512MB DRAM and connects to a netw…

This might not be completely new, but seems to be the #1 kick ass sound card on the planet. I have spent alot of time on the creative forums and this seems like the card to own for a new rig, a 3rd party company finally does xFi right, since Creative could not, even includes the 64Mb of X-RAM and they do there own custom drivers and software. http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-fi_prelude.php

Here come the 9600GT specs "The funniest part is that they have a slide that says "116% Faster!!!", and immediately follow it with "Single Largest Generational Performance Increase in our History", in green no less. Does anyone else read this as them admitting that the 8600 sucked? Hint: it did."
