<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>For those </strong>that are craving for additional displays, EVGA has announced its UV Plus+ lineup of USB display adapters. These two display adapters branded as  UV12 and UV16 will use an USB to connect to PC in order to give support for additional displays.</p>
<p>Both UV12 and UV16 feature DVI and VGA support, and come with the so called GPU-less design. This design uses a virtual driver and high-performance DDR memory which gives it enough juice to run Windows Vista Aero and do high resolutions.</p>
<p>The UV12 will be able to produce up to 1440x900 resolution at 60Hz of refresh rate, while its bigger named brother UV16, will be able to give  up to 1680x1050 at the same 60Hz. The design is stackable so you are basically limited by the number of USB ports.</p>
<p>These new USB display adapters should be available sometimes during this week at the suggested retail/e-tail price of €79. Both devices are based on DisplayLink chips and they will be definitely good for anyone that needs more than one additional display on the notebook.</p>
<p>You can check out additional info <a href="http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin:0 10px;" src="http://dgiul.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/evga-usb-graphics-thumb.jpg" alt="evga_usb_graphics" width="200" height="196" align="left" />EVGA has announced that they have begun shipping their new line of USB graphics adapters called "UV Plus+". (plus plus? Eh, they can call it whatever they want I suppose.)</p>
<p>The new UV Plus+ adapters plug into the USB port on your Windows Vista or XP computer (sorry, looks like no Mac support at this time) and then on the monitor end it supports both VGA and DVI connections.</p>
<p>While the UV Plus+ doesn't have an on-board GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) it does still support Windows Vista Aero.</p>
<p>Two models will be available in this line--the UV12 and UV16. Apart from physically different, it looks like the only other difference between the two models will be the resolutions they support.</p>
<p>For more info and to see which resolutions are supported, check out the product page <a href="http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Could be a nice, easy way to add an additional monitor to your computer without having to pay for a new video card (assuming the card you have now supports just one display).</p>
<p>No pricing info yet but they are expected to be less $100 but since they are shipping we'll find out soon enough.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">EVGA, hasta hoy conocido por sus correctas, y en ocasiones notables, tarjetas de video, trabaja en un producto que lo hará conocido en otra arena: la del software.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more-->Se trata de Precision, un software que permite ajustar la sintonía fina de tu tarjeta de video, alterando frecuencias de GPU, memorias, shaders y hasta del ventilador. Los ventiladores tienen frecuencia, o no sabían? Además, sirve para monitorear temperaturas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-869" src="http://aledb12.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/placa.jpg?w=468" alt="" width="468" height="351" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No es primera vez que un fabricante incluye una utilidad de overclock con sus productos, pero la mayoría de estas aplicaciones no le hacen sombra a buenos y eficientes productos gratuitos como <a href="http://www.nvworld.ru/docs/rt.html" target="_blank">RivaTuner</a> o <a href="http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/436/ATITool_0.26.html" target="_blank">ATITool</a>, por no mencionar las utilidades que los mismos drivers incluyen. EVGA tendrá que esforzarse bastante si quiere que su producto haga tanto ruido como sus tarjetas.</p>
<p>Como sea, ya lo veremos el día en que lo ofrezcan oficialmente.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://aledb12.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/logo.jpg" alt="logo.jpg" height="249" width="459" /></p>
<p>Hoy, 1 de Abril, NVIDIA saco a la venta su esperada GeForce 9800GTX. Al principio se especulaba que iba a tener 256SP gracias al núcleo G100/GT200 con un bus de 512Bits, todo un monstruo, estos rumores eran de mitad del año pasado, y ahora todo cambio, ya que la 9800GTX utilizaría el tan nombrado G92, con un bus de 256Bits y 128SP. Mas de uno se desoluciono ya que estamos ante una 8800GTS 512 renombrada, aunque con algunas caracteristicas nuevas que se pueden ver en la 9600GT. En este informe, vamos a redactar todo lo que se sabe sobre la 9800GTX.</p>
<p><!--more--> <b><u> Especificaciones:</u></b></p>
<p>Empezamos por el punto mas importante, las especificaciones. La GeForce 9800GTX contiene el núcleo G92, un derivado del clasico G80, este contiene 128SP (Shader Processors) corriendo a 1688Mhz mientras que el G92 corre a 675Mhz. Las memorias GDDR3 corren a 1100Mhz (2200Mhz efectivos) con un bus de 256Bits, con estas características tiene un ancho de banda de 70.4 GB/s obteniendo mejor rendimiento al aplicar AA y AF.</p>
<p><img src="http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/7527/gpuzexp5bef8aasx3.jpg" /></p>
<p>En cuanto a la cantidad, al ser una placa High-End, al parecer llevara 512MB aunque se espera versiones de 1GB, en cuanto al tipo de memoria, el nucleo G92 puede utilizar GDDR2, GDDR3 y GDDR4 dependiendo de cada emsamblador. Metiéndonos un poco mas al fondo, encontramos 16 ROP y 64 unidades de textura (Mas que la 8800GTX basada en el G80) con lo cual le da un poder en bruto mayor, aparte de todo eso, el núcleo esta fabricado a 65nm y soporta DX10 y SM 4.0.</p>
<p style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Diseño y Consumo:</p>
<p>En esta parte mucho no puedo decir, ya que es el mismo que tiene la 8800GTS pero con la diferencia que es un poco mas alargado, es un cooler Doble-Slot diseñado por CoolerMaster, y tiene dos conectores SLI en la parte superior con lo cual se puede hacer 3-Way SLI.</p>
<p><a href="http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5209/anglec5b94fvw2.jpg"><img src="http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5209/anglec5b94fvw2.jpg" height="305" width="463" /></a></p>
<p>En cuanto al consumo, segun dicen en VR-Zone, la 9800GTX consume 168W en total, esto es en full-load, asi que en idle, obviamente es menor. Para alimentarse lleva dos conectores de 6-PIN.</p>
<p style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Rendimiento:</p>
<p>Otro punto fuerte aparte de las especificaciones es el rendimiento y según NVIDIA, la 9800GTX viene a competir contra ... ehh nadie, ya que ATi no tiene ninguna placa para competir contra la 9800GTX (Olvidense de la HD3870 X2, esta compite contra la 9800GX2)</p>
<p>Actualmente NVIDIA esta usando muchos derivados del G92 a tal punto que tienen casi el mismo rendimiento (!).</p>
<p>Hoy al vencer el NDA, ya hay muchos reviews sobre esta esperada placa. Ahora pasamos a mostrarles una lista con todos los reviews existentes:</p>

<p>Y bueno, con estos reviews cerramos la nota del dia de hoy, en cuanto a los precios, en Newegg las 9800GTX varian segun el ensamblador (EVGA, XFX, ASUS, etc.), los precios van desde los USD330 a los USD340 (Que diferencia xD) ,seguramente bajaran cuando AMD lanze su nueva linea HD4xx0.</p>

<p>Desde ya hace algunos años que Abit se había alejado del mercado de las tarjetas graficas para enfocarse principalmente en el mercado de placas madres para plataformas Intel y AMD, quedando en la retina de sus usuarios productos como la mítica <a href="http://www.madboxpc.com/contenido.php?id=212" target="_blank">Abit 9550 Turbo Guru</a>, pero Abit según reportan desde Digitimes, se prepara para volver a este atractivo mercado.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><a href="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/6964/foto10ce5e5d59fh6.jpg"><img src="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/6964/foto10ce5e5d59fh6.jpg" height="279" width="431" /></a></p>
<h6>Recordando los viejos tiempos, aca vemos a la Abit 9550 Turbo Guru</h6>
<p>Es así que la compañía taiwanesa hará su reingreso a este mercado como un fabricante exclusivo de tarjetas graficas con GPU NVIDIA, y se une otros como por ejemplo Elitegroup Computer System (ECS) y Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision Industry) que ofrecen de manera exclusiva tarjetas NVIDIA. La tarea no será tan fácil para Abit en virtud de capturar cuota de mercado, pues tiene que competir con importantes fabricantes como EVGA, Zotac, XFX, ASUS entre otros y que se reparte gran porción de la torta en el mercado de tarjetas graficas.</p>
<p>Por ahora no hay fechas de lanzamiento al respecto, pero se presume por lógica que Abit comenzaría ofreciendo productos de la serie GeForce 9 bajo la marca Fatal1ty de la cual es dueña y que ya usa en algunas placas madres destinadas al segmento de jugadores (Gamers).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I usually avoid shopping for anything on the day after Thanksgiving. Too many people and of course the bad behavior that goes along with it. This year, against my better judgment I headed out to Fry's with Very (37prime guy). I did pick up a new <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001095">Samsung 20" LCD</a> monitor for my Windows/Linux machine. Pretty good price too, only $250. I also picked up a new Video Card, a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130292">EVGA Geforce 8600GT</a> with 512MB ram for $99. It did not have the dual DVI that I would have preferred, but for the price I can't complain.</p>

<p align="center"><strong>PARTE 1 </strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>MOTHERBOARD NVIDIA nFORCE 680i SLI</strong></p>
<p>¿Qué pasaría si te dijéramos que hay una manera de que tu nuevo procesador puede correr hasta un 80% más rápido que su velocidad actual? Pues bienvenido al mundo del overclocking.</p>
<p>Overclocking se refiere al proceso de hacer que una pieza de hardware corra más rápido que su velocidad predeterminada. Hoy en día el overclocking es más fácil que nunca gracias a que mucho del hardware y su interfaz viene diseñada con este objetivo. En esta guía nos vamos a concentrar en hacer overclocking a los motherboard que utilizan chipset NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI al CPU y un poco a la memoria RAM.</p>
<p>Antes de comenzar debemos de considerar ciertos aspectos:</p>
<ul>
<li>Overclocking no es una ciencia exacta ya que se pueden tener resultados diferentes inclusive usando piezas de hardware idénticas que otra computadora, pero nos da una idea de los límites que podemos alcanzar, por ejemplo en mi caso yo utilizo un procesador Core 2 Duo E6750 y lo máximo que he logrado alcanzar es 3.432 Ghz cuando muchas otras personas logran los 3.6 Ghz.</li>
<li>Se puede dañar el hardware cuando se hace overclocking específicamente cuando se incrementan demasiado los voltajes, <strong>como resultado se puede anular la garantía así que háganlo bajo su propio riesgo, siempre hay que consultar que voltajes son recomendados para cada hardware.</strong></li>
<li>Cuando se basan en la misma arquitectura el hardware de bajo rendimiento tiende a ser mejor para overclocking, por ejemplo un Core 2 Duo de baja velocidad, relativamente hablando, alcanza mejor overclock que un Core 2 Duo de una velocidad más alta.</li>
<li>Mejorar el sistema de enfriamiento de nuestro sistema puede ayudar debido a al incrementar los voltajes y frecuencias la temperatura se vuelve más elevada.</li>
<li>Toma cierto tiempo encontrar la configuración ideal, overclocking no <strong>es para personas impacientes</strong>, también es posible causar corrupción de los datos en nuestro sistema operativo, por lo tanto se recomienda hacer back up de los archivos importantes antes de comenzar los experimentos.</li>
<li>Usar hardware de marcas reconocidas y especialmente diseñado para overclocking ayuda a tener un mejor resultado que cuando usamos hardware genérico.</li>
<li>Si algo sale mal a tal punto que la computadora no pude cargar, se puede resetear el CMOS (BIOS) con esto regresaremos a la configuración original, por lo tanto es recomendable anotar los últimos valores que nos funcionaron bien.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Los multiplicadores y Front Side Bus.</strong></p>
<p>Estos dos términos son fundamentales para entender la velocidad de los procesadores. El Front Side Bus (FSB) se refiere a la velocidad que se transfieren los datos en el motherboard, este conecta al CPU  con el resto de dispositivos en el sistema, es multiplicado por cuatro dando el total del FSB por ejemplo el Core 2 Duo E6750 es 333Mhz x 4 = 1333 FSB. <strong>El FSB puede ser ajustado y gracias a eso se puede hacer overclock</strong>.  El otro termino es el multiplicador, la velocidad de un CPU es igual a FSB x el multiplicador del CPU, por ejemplo la velocidad predeterminada del Core 2 Duro E6750 es FSB 333Mhz x 8 = 2664Mhz.</p>
<p><strong>Los ingredientes.</strong></p>
<p>Procesador: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2666MHz</p>
<p>Motherboard: EVGA 122-CK-NF68</p>
<p>Chipset: nVIDIA nForce 680i SLI</p>
<p>Tarjeta gráfica: NVIDIA EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB</p>
<p>Memoria RAM: 2 x Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-6400C4D SLI EPP DDR2 800MHz</p>
<p>Tiempos de Memoria: 4-4-4-12 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS)</p>
<p>Disco duro: Western Digital Caviar WD5000AAKS-22TMA (500 GB)</p>
<p>PSU: ULTRA 500 Watts modular</p>
<p>CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9500 LED</p>
<p>Windows Vista Business</p>
<p>El motherboard soporta la aplicación nVIDIA nTune, "supuestamente" podemos entrar a todas las funciones del BIOS pero realmente no es así, por lo tanto modificaremos directamente el BIOS, cuando encendemos la computadora presionamos la tecla Delete o Suprimir, dependiendo el idioma del teclado, y entramos a la famosa pantalla azul del BIOS, hay que tomar en cuenta que puede variar ligeramente los nombres de las configuraciones dependiendo de la versión de BIOS que tengamos.</p>
<p><strong>Paso 1.</strong></p>
<p>Antes de comenzar el overclock hay que  modificar ciertas opciones para sacar el máximo rendimiento. La mayoría de estas tienen que ver con el monitoreo de la temperatura y ahorro de energía. Desde la pantalla principal fig. 1</p>
<p><a href="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/advchip.jpg" title="advchip.jpg"></a><a href="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/advchip.jpg" title="advchip.jpg"></a><a href="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/advchip.jpg" title="advchip.jpg"></a><a href="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/advchip.jpg" title="advchip.jpg"></a></p>

<p align="center">Fig. 4 Systems Clocks</p>
<p><strong>Paso 3.</strong></p>
<p>Ahora si estamos ya casi listos para exprimir al procesador y memoria, desde "Advanced Chipset Features" elegimos "FSB &#38; Memory Config" fig. 5 y modificamos lo siguiente:</p>
<ul>
<li>FSB - Memory Clock Mode - <strong>Linked</strong></li>
<li>FSB - Memory Ratio - <strong>Sync Mode</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Al modificar el FSB afectamos no solamente la velocidad del procesador, también afectamos la velocidad de la memoria y con Sycn Mode activo logramos una relación de 1:1 en la memoria. Pero si tenemos una memoria que no es muy buena para el overclock dejamos el  "FSB - Memory Clock Mode - <strong>Unlinked</strong>", con esto dejamos bloqueada la memoria a la velocidad que elijamos manualmente en "MEM (DDR), MHz"</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/fsbmem.jpg" title="fsbmem.jpg"><img src="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/fsbmem.jpg" alt="fsbmem.jpg" style="width:542px;height:441px;" height="460" width="538" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Fig 5. FSB &#38; Memory Config.</p>
<p>Ahora sí, comenzamos a darle lentamente incrementos de 40 ó 50 Mhz al "FSB (QDR), MHz", guardamos los cambios y dejamos que cargue Windows completamente, si logramos eso reiniciamos y entramos nuevamente al BIOS e incrementamos otros 40 ó 50 Mhz al "FSB (QDR), MHz", repetimos este proceso hasta el punto que no Windows no pueda iniciar, cuando suceda esto retrocedemos a la ultima configuración y cargamos Windows, noten que dijimos lentamente, si tienes ganas de triplicar el "FSB (QDR), MHz" de una sola vez y no entiendes porque tu computadora es ahora un pisapapeles muy caro, no digas que no te lo advertimos.</p>
<p>Usando este método personalmente logré alcanzar 3432MHz usando un Core 2 Duo E6750, cuando encontremos el máximo en "FSB (QDR), MHz" es tiempo de probar si es 100% estable, para esto podemos usar el programa <strong>SP2004 Orthos Edition</strong> el cual podemos bajar de en <a href="http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm">http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm</a> , este es un programa gratis para estresar el CPU y memoria RAM, si todo sale bien debería de correr por varias horas sin dar ningún error, si sucede lo contrario entonces hay que bajarle un poco al "FSB (QDR), MHz" y correr nuevamente SP2004 Orthos Edition por varias horas, si da error repetimos el proceso hasta alcanzar estabilidad en el programa.</p>
<p>Siempre que corramos el programa SP2004 Orthos Edition hay que vigilar las temperaturas porque no queremos alcanzar los 65-70°C, si es así hay que cambiar nuestro sistema de enfriamiento por otro de mayor rendimiento o hay que disminuir los voltajes fig. 6, desde "Advanced Chipset Features" entramos a "System Voltages" y bajamos el voltaje al "CPU Core", guardamos los cambios y repetimos el proceso hasta que ya no cargue Windows, si es así subimos el voltaje a la ultima configuración que nos funcionó bien. Luego probamos la estabilidad de la computadora corriendo SP2004 Orthos Edition, si falla subimos un poco el voltaje hasta que corra el programa sin errores, modificar los voltajes puede ayudarnos en estabilidad o lo contrario. Si las temperaturas se encuentran bien y queremos mejorarlas también podemos hacer esto.</p>

<p align="center">Fig. 6 System Voltages.</p>
<p>Podemos consultar en Google los voltajes recomendados para cada procesador, también podemos ver los resultados obtenidos por otras personas y tener una idea de hasta dónde podemos llegar  con nuestro procesador y ahorrarnos un poco de tiempo. También pueden experimentar desactivando "LinkBoost" y "SLI-Ready Memory" en lo personal no vi mayores beneficios.</p>

<p><a href="http://guanageek.wordpress.com/files/2007/11/cpuz.gif" title="cpuz.gif">Espero que con esta guía y un par de horas logremos "sacarle el jugo" a nuestra computadora e igualarla a otras más potentes y así ahorrarnos cientos de dólares. En guías posteriores entraremos en más profundidad acerca de otros temas como el overclocking a la memoria RAM y ¿Por qué otros logran mejores resultados usando los mismos componentes de hardware?</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_25" align="aligncenter" width="496" caption="Tiles I have worked on and/or MODed for"]<a href="http://mloope.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/game_ti_014.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-25" src="http://mloope.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/game_ti_014.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="439" /></a>[/caption]
<p style="text-align:center;">A big part of my addiction to 3D is the gaming side, the ability to work with a team of people for long periods of time, striving for the same goals! its an awesome experience. Level Design is my specialty, I always loved building forts and sandcastles as a kid, and now helped build a tropical island in the china sea which wound up being a front for an alien invasion! Even though the Crysis days are over for me, I still love using my knowledge of the "Crytek Sandbox Dev" editor to MOD new places and scenarios for people to explore, destroy, and enjoy. like right know I'm working on three different MODs, one that triples all the AI in large scale areas to increase battle length and intensity, one that adds a large scale (250NPC+) jungle engagement between US and Koran Forces, and the newest being "Oasis Assault" which is a large sandbox style map that features several villages and secret locations the player can visit, also includes a run down shack the player and go to restock on ammo and maybe grab a new vehicle. So although I'm very happy I was not responsible for creating the world in 7 days with C4D, 3D studio Max, Maya, and the Sandbox Dev editor, I do love what I do and look forward to excelling in the fields of 3D and Game Design.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
[caption id="attachment_29" align="aligncenter" width="496" caption="Oasis Assault"]<a href="http://mloope.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/game_oassault3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-29" src="http://mloope.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/game_oassault3.jpg" alt="Oasis Assault" width="496" height="439" /></a>[/caption]
<p> </p>

<p style="text-align:center;">(3D programs and editors I'm currently working with: C4D, Realflow4, COH World-builder Dev, Sandbox Dev, and Ob Dev.)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_17" align="alignright" width="320" caption="Michael &#34;The 3D Guy&#34;"]<a href="http://mloope.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/wordpmichael.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-17  " src="http://mloope.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/wordpmichael.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="255" /></a>[/caption]
<p>All the above please. Unlike some blogs and online profilers who prefer to be an absolute mess, I would like to keep this apparently clean and to the point of interest. Reserving the right of "Whatever", I will tag the start of each new entry with a main subject title, for example (<em>*3D</em> would be on the subject of anything 3D). This might also be a really dumb idea, so maybe I won't do it at all.     </p>
<p>So yeah for those of you that may have heard of me or know someone who knows me, than you know I'm "The 3D Guy". Well you see I have a funny disability that forces me to enjoy siting at my desk learning all kinds of 3d programs and editors. I sometimes ask my self why I do it, but before I can answer, a thought of a new cool idea for a game or animation pops into my head, which is not always a good thing because I'm ether working on a project that has a deadline and/or its 4 am in the morning and my wife is begging me to come to bed, because "global illumination" rendering makes the computer run a little hotter than normal, making my case fans turn up the RPM's.</p>
<p>(the following is a recommended product for all those crazy people that get "yellow and red eye" from working or playing in front of their computer screens for outrageously insane amounts of time/<em>Murine Eye Drops, <span style="font-style:normal;">offering super relief to all your bloodshot problems! available at your local <em>Walgreens</em> and </span>CVS<span style="font-style:normal;"> stores</span></em>)</p>

<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Τα μοντέλα <strong>UV12</strong> και <strong>UV16</strong> της σειράς UV Plus+ μπορούν να μετατρέψουν μια USB θύρα ενός desktop υπολογιστή, κάποιου laptop ή ενός UMPC σε μια έξοδο για δεύτερη <strong>οθόνη</strong>! Με αυτό το τρόπο, προσφέρεται η δυνατότητα σε διάφορες ομάδες χρηστών (επαγγελματίες κ.α) να επεκτείνουν το περιβάλλον εργασίας τους (υποστηρίζονται λειτουργίες <strong>expand</strong>, <strong>rotate</strong> και <strong>mirroring</strong> χρησιμοποιώντας απλό σε λειτουργία και ρυθμίσεις λογισμικό) για να αυξήσουν την παραγωγικότητα τους.</p>
<p>Τα μοντέλα UV12 και UV16 (διαφέρουν σε εμφάνιση και σε ορισμένες λεπτομέρειες που αφορούν τις υποστηριζόμενες αναλύσεις) τροφοδοτούνται μέσω του διαύλου <strong>USB2.0 </strong>και χρησιμοποιούν εξελιγμένη τεχνολογία συμπίεσης (<strong>lossless compression</strong>) ώστε στο δεύτερο monitor να είναι δυνατή η μετάδοση υψηλής ποιότητας σήματος εικόνας. <a href="http://www.evga.com/articles/410.asp" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://www.evga.com/articles/images/410_header.jpg" alt="" width="410" height="226" /></a>Τα "μικρά κυβάκια" που διακρίνετε και στις φωτογραφίες, δεν διαθέτουν στο εσωτερικό τους επεξεργαστή γραφικών [GPU] παρά επιστρατεύουν ένα chip της <strong><a href="http://www.displaylink.com/products.html" target="_blank">DisplayLink</a></strong> (αντίστοιχα τα <strong>DL-120</strong> και <strong>DL-160 </strong>chips για τα μοντέλα UV12 και UV16) που αναλαμβάνει συνοπτικά  (και με τη βοήθεια λογισμικού) το έργο της συμπίεσης, της αποκωδικοποίησης και της "μεταφοράς της εικόνας" στη θύρα USB2.0.</p>
<p>Στη διεργασία αυτή επιστρατεύονται επίσης ένα chip μνήμης τύπου <strong>DDR-SDRAM</strong> καθώς και ένα chip <strong>DAC converter </strong>της <strong>Chrontel</strong>. Αν θέλετε να διαβάσετε περισσότερα για την τεχνολογία των chips DL-120 και DL-160 της DisplayLink αλλά και την εκπληκτική τεχνoλογία συμπίεσης που χρησιμοποιούν πατήστε <a href="http://www.displaylink.com/pdf/DisplayLink%20DL-120%20and%20DL-160.pdf" target="_blank">εδώ</a>.</p>
<p>Και τα δυο μοντέλα είναι πλήρως συμβατά με το τρισδιάστατο περιβάλλον εργασίας "<strong>Aero</strong>" των Windows Vista. Το μοντέλο UV12 ωστόσο υποστηρίζει VGA και αναλύσεις έως 1280x1024 ή 1440x900 pixels ενώ το μοντέλο UV16 υποστηρίζει DVI και αναλύσεις έως 1600x1200 ή 1680x1050 pixels (στα 60Hz) . Περισσότερα για τις υποστηριζόμενες αναλύσεις αλλά και τα χαρακτηριστικά των μοντέλων UV Plus+ της eVGA στην <a href="http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp" target="_blank">επίσημη ιστοσελίδα</a> της εταιρείας.</p>

<p>You know when an entire day seems like it's been wasted.  You feel so emotionally drained you begin to ooze around slowly like your shoes are stuck to the floor.  That's pretty much what my day turned into.  It started out optimistically, I waited for some critical replacement parts for one of my computers to come and waited and waited...</p>
<p>An hour after I should have stopped waiting I finally gave up and got some work done.  That's the beauty of publishing on the internet.  Location isn't a huge factor as long as you have internet access.</p>
<p>Late in the evening I finally tracked the UPS man down (who's actually quite nice).  We shared a few laughs and he sent me on my way with an armfull of corrugated cardboard.  I spent the rest of the night fixing my computer which has been down for the last week.  It's times like this that you think about migrating to network storage.</p>
<p>Here's the hardware configuration after my recent "refresh":</p>
<p>Intel Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8400 3.0GHz<br />
Corsair XMS TWIN2X2048-8500C5<br />
Gigabyte GA-EX38-DQ6 motherboard<br />
EVGA 8800 GTS 512MB (G92)<br />
Western Digital Raptor 74GB<br />
2x Seagate Barracuda 250GB</p>
<p>That's enough tech-speak for the rest of the day.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dandan.gamers-fix.com/wp/oldcomputer.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;margin:10px;" src="http://dandan.gamers-fix.com/wp/oldcomputer.jpg" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="350" align="left" /></a>So it's finally happened. My computer of 4 years (yes 4 years!) has died. Actually, it died about 2 years ago when the motherboard failed. I don't know exactly what happened. It seemed that something shorted out. I did want to upgrade at the time, but thought better of it and instead invested in a replacement of the same model. It was an Asus P4P800. RIP.</p>
<p>At the time I didn't think much of it, and thought it simply was its time, until even the replacement board failed 2 years later. I began to think that maybe the power supply is the one to blame. Everything worked good until my video card fan broke down and I had to buy one of those giant Arctic Cooling fans. I also replaced the CPU heatsink as well along the way, but something in there wasn't right. Perhaps the wattage on my power supply just wasn't cutting it anymore, it most likely is the case.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>This time, instead of simply going through the effort and cost to get back to pretty much the same state as before, I shelled out for a new PC. It was time, really. The only thing I managed to keep actually, were my hard drives, and the case... I had originally wanted to just simply replace the motherboard with a newer model, but since motherboards nowadays all use PCI-Express, and all I have is an AGP video card, it also meant I would have to get a new video card with the motherboard. One thing lead to another... In addition, my power supply is only 360watts, which isn't enough to power current gen hardware (and also lacks the supplemental plug for the video card). My DVD drives are also IDE, and current motherboards only have one IDE port (which I'm currently using with my one IDE hard drive) which meant I had to get a new SATA DVD drive as well. My computer case is an Antec Sonata, and the power supply has a "quiet feature" which monitors the case fan as well. Unfortunately, my new power supply doesn't have that feature, so I had to replace my case fan as well. Also, my RAM was outdated. Though it might have been compatible with my new motherboard, it probably would have slowed the system down. Also, because I was getting a new motherboard, it also meant a new CPU as well.</p>
<p>In the end, my shopping list wound up to be fairly big:</p>
<ul>
<li>Antec Earthwatts 500w power supply</li>
<li>Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600</li>
<li>E VGA Nvidia 8800GT</li>
<li>OCZ RAM (2 gigs)</li>
<li>Asus P5K ATX motherboard</li>
<li>Pioneer DL DVD +/- SATA</li>
<li>Scythe Slipstream case fan</li>
</ul>
<p>For the first time in my life, I took apart my own computer, and installed a new one in its place. I'm still praying that everything will remain fine and working...</p>
<p>I have to say though, that it was much easier than I thought. Only light cursing (and mostly in humor) was the highlight of the process. Every plug has pretty much been dummy-proofed so there's no real way you can plug it in wrong (except for the Firewire and USB plugs, that is). Overall, I'm quite happy with the performance, especially with the Scythe Slipstream. It's inaudible!  Same with the power supply fan! Right now, the loudest fan I have is the Zalman CNPS7500-CU, which in its own right is probably one of the quietest CPU heatsink fans already!</p>
<p>So now, everything's all closed up, and my system is re-installed. It pretty much looks the same as before, but now it's improved significantly. It'll prolly last me for another 4 years before I need another replacement, but in terms of my needs, this will probably do for the rest of the computer's life.</p>

<p>A EVGA anunciou o lançamento de outra gráfica SuperClock, desta feita baseada na 8800GT e baptizada de AKIMBO SC. A nova placa está disponível com velocidades de núcleo a 720MHz, 1728MHz para shaders e 2GHz para a RAM. Muito bom se tivermos em conta as velocidades por omissão de 600MHz, 1500MHz e 1800MHz respectivamente, o que faz desta placa um sério oponente à 800GTS. O preço ainda não foi divulgado, mas de certeza que será mais barata que a GTS, tornando-a muito apetecível para quem procura a melhor performance para o seu sistema.</p>
<p>A gráfica apresenta aquele que parece ser o cooler da 8800GTS, mas para quem procura as mesmas capacidades de cooling a EVGA também a vende com as velocidades por omissão.</p>

<p>O novo <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipset" target="_blank">chipset</a> <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/page/mobo.html" target="_blank">Nforce</a> da <a href="http://www.nvidia.com" target="_blank">Nvidia</a>, o Nforce 790i DDR3 vai sair lá para o meio de Fevereiro. O novo chipset tem como objectivo sair antes dos novos <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processador" target="_blank">processadores</a> da <a href="http://www.intel.com/" target="_blank">Intel</a>, os <a href="http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2XE/index.htm?iid=prod_desktopcore+body_core2ex" target="_blank">Core 2 Extreme 9770</a>.  O anterior chipset,  <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_780i_sli.html" target="_blank">Nforce 780i</a>  tá a ser alvo de inúmeras reclamações por parte dos clientes.  Supostamente por apenas suportar <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR-II" target="_blank">DDR2</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y172/xsetor/Blog/nforce.jpg" height="150" width="155" /></p>
<p>Os truques deste novo chipset, pelos vistos, são a sua capacidade de suportar <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mem%C3%B3ria_%28computador%29" target="_blank">memória</a> <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddr3" target="_blank">DDR3</a> até 1800 <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHz" target="_blank">MHz</a> e um <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_side_bus" target="_blank">FSB</a> de 1600 que vai ser compatível com a última geração de processadores, Core 2 Extreme Quad Core.  Ao que se inclui o bom funcionamento com os novos processadores de 45<a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nm" target="_blank">nm</a> <a href="http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2quad/index.htm?iid=prod_desktopcore+body_core2quad" target="_blank">Core 2 Quad</a>.</p>
<p>A juntar, só mesmo a nova <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placa_gr%C3%A1fica" target="_blank">placa gráfica</a>, <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_family.html" target="_blank">GeForce</a> 9600 GT. Esta última também está prevista ser lançada em Fevereiro. Para já a versão de 512 <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte" target="_blank">MB</a> será a primeira a ser lançada e de seguida vêm as versões de 256 MB e 1 <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte" target="_blank">GB</a>. O site <a href="http://www.tomshardware.tw/" target="_blank">Toms Hardware</a> já apresentou imagens da GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center">GPU Overclocking Guide</p>
<p align="center"><b> Disclaimer:  Game and Tech Reviews is NOT responsible for any damage to your components.</b></p>
<p>    So, you've bought a really low budget Directx 10 card?  Wanna squeeze every last ounce of performance out of it?   You bet you do!  You are gonna need ATITool to do the overclocking.  You can find a download here: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/ .   Take a moment and get used to the program.    nTune can also be used to overclock; and, can be easily accessed by right clicking on the desktop and selecting "NVIDIA Control Panel", choosing the "Performance" tab, and then by clicking on "View System Information."   This also comes in handy because you can manually turn the stock fan to the desired speed.  Check your card stats out with GPU-z available for download here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/896/mirrors.php .</p>
<p>So, what exactly are we doing here?   Well, a graphic card works using the same basic parts as a CPU does, only it uses different architecture.  It has a clock speed for the processor or the core.  And a clock speed for the RAM or memory.   For the 8600GT,  the core comes at 540MHz and the memory comes at 700MHz.   By using the sliders on ATITool, I was able to get mine to a very stable 710/750.   A higher clock speed is better than a higher memory speed.   But, as a general rule of thumb the memory should be equal to or greater than the core frequency.  You can use the auto finders to get a general estimate of what your card will do.  But, I really recommend you do it manually.  Scan for artifacts to test stability, and I also recommend using a 3dMark program.   My overclock boosted my score 1000 points.  Expect crashes, snow, and a weird screen flashes.  Just restart and try again.  Don't be alarmed if it doesn't start right back up again.  This IS normal.  Just turn it off, wait a few seconds, and try again.  I really recommend you have proper cooling and do NOT exceed temperatures of over 70C. I suggest you invest in some decent cooling if you wanna push it really high.  Every card overclocks differently.  And, you at some point will hit a wall because of voltage.  There are other guides out there, but they require soldering a resistor on to your card and/or shading in parts with a pencil.  I chose not a write a guide on this because its way to risky and plus it would void my lovely warranty.  And, I can't afford to not be eligible for the "Step up" plan.</p>
