| 549579 | 2007-05-14 02:17:00 | That looks really.... good. Maybe Vista can run on a notebook reasonably!:thumbs: | wratterus (105) | ||
| 549580 | 2007-05-14 02:32:00 | Why did they keep the same name as the old Centrino Duo platform?? Just to confuse people!! My, almost 1 year old, Acer has an Intel Centrino Duo sticker on it. |

Samsung Electronics is putting the finishing touches on its DDR3 memory chips ahead of their commercial release later this year. On Monday, Samsung revealed that 21 of its DDR3 (double data rate 3) memory chips and modules have been validated by Intel. This validation, which certifies the memory chips are compatible with Intel's PC chipsets, is one of the final steps toward commercial release of the chips. DDR3 is the long-awaited successor to DDR2 memory, now the most common memory type used in PCs. The newer chips will offer data transfer speeds up to 1.6Gbits per second, twice the memory bandwidth of DDR2. That means better performance for both 3D graphics and multithreaded applications that tap the power of multi-core processors. The chips will also consume less power – around 1.5 volts compared to 1.8 volts for DDR2 – which means longer notebook battery life, Samsung said. www.macworld.co.uk |
