28.02.2008Leading Memory Maker Acquires Enthusiast PC Manufacturer
In a bid to leverage its memory market footprint, OCZ Technology Group acquired Hypersonic, a leading maker of personal computers for gamers. The move

get a PC manufacturer and is likely to be the first with own branded OCZ personal computers eventually.
OCZs goal is to
deliver the highest performing products to consumers whether that is with premium components or total solutions. We are delighted to welcome
Hypersonic PC, a company and brand well-known for their commitment to enthusiasts into the OCZ fold, said Ryan Petersen, chief executive of the OCZ
Technology Group.
The acquisition of Hypersonic by OCZ emphasizes the move the memory company to broaden its market share with
new sources to sell its memory modules and power supply units. Moreover, it is an indisputable proof that OCZ is do working not only on revenue
sources, but also on the ways to get them with Hypersonic PCs.

26.10.2007Memory trick breaks PC encryption
Encrypted information held on a laptop is more vulnerable than previously thought, US research has shown. Scientists have shown that it is possible to
recover the key that unscrambles data from a PC's memory. It was previously thought that data held in so-called "volatile memory" was only
retained for a few seconds after the machine was switched off. But the team found that data including encryption keys could be held and retrieved for
up toseveral minutes.
"It was widely believed that when you cut the power to the computer that the information in the volatile memory
would disappear, and what we found was that was not the case," Professor Edward Felten of the University of Princeton told BBC World
Service's Digital Planet programme. Volatile memory is typically used in random access memory (RAM), which is used as temporary storage for
programs and data when the computer is switched on.

12.05.2006Help Find Memory Leaks in Firefox
If youre a Firefox enthusiast, the Mozilla community is currently looking for additional volunteers to help reduce memory usage and fix any memory
leaks in the browser. If youre not a programmer, Firefox programmer
Jesse Ruderman says you can still
help:
If youre a Firefox user, an easy way to help is to browse with a trunk nightly build wrapped in a script that calls leak-gauge.pl when
Firefox exits. If it reports that documents or windows leaked, try to figure out how to reproduce the leak and then file a bug report.
The
goal of the project is to reduce the memory usage in Firefox 3. On his blog, Ruderman details a number of leaks that have already been identified and
fixed.

22.09.2007Dell, Intel, and Microsoft to push 'ReadyBoost,' Hybrid Drives
Companies including Dell,
Microsoft, and Intel announced
on Wednesday the formation of
a new group to promote the
adoption of nonvolatile
memory, or NAND flash, in PC
storage applications.
The Non-Volatile Memory
Host Controller Interface
(NVMHCI) Working Group, as
it's being called, will be
chaired by Intel and will
provide a standard software
programming interface for
nonvolatile memory subsystems.
The group says the
interface will be used by
operating system drivers to
access NAND flash memory
storage in the applications
such as hard drive caching and
solid-state drives. Today, PCs
already use this technology;
"ReadyBoost" is what
Microsoft calls its Vista disk
caching technology that makes
computers running the OS more
responsive by using flash
memory on a USB 2.0 drive, SD
card, or other forms of flash
memory. ..

11.01.2008Intel signs up vendors for Classmate PC in India
Intel has tied with three
large Indian PC vendors to
assemble the Classmate PC, a
PC specially designed for
schools. The three vendors --
HCL Infosystems, Wipro, and
Zenith Computers -- will start
shipping the product to Indian
schools next month.
The Classmate PC will be
sold only to schools, and not
through retail channels to
consumers, John McClure,
Intel's director for
marketing in South Asia said
on Monday. The Classmate PC
has been specially designed to
work in a networked classroom
environment, and comes with
software and features that
give the teacher in the
classroom control over the
dissemination of content to
students' PCs, he said.
The Classmate PC, for
example, does not have a hard
disk. Instead it contains up
to 2GB of NAND flash memory.
Most of the content will
reside on the teacher's PC,
McClure said. ..

23.07.2007Reclaim Memory by Mastering Windows' Task Manager
The best way to speed up your PC is to give it more available memorybut freeing up as much of the memory you already have is cheaper and easier than
cracking open your case to
install a
new stick of RAM. It takes a lot of memory to get a modern Windows system up and ... well, not doing anything in particular, really. Between
cryptic system processes, confusing "helper" applications, and background utilities, a whole lot of who-knows-what gobbles up memory and slows down
your work. While a lot of programs claim to optimize memory use and pare down processes, Windows' built-in Task Manager can do the job just fine,
given the right tools and know-how. Today you'll extend and empower Windows' Task Manager to speed up your system by cutting out unnecessary memory
hogs.

27.11.2007Notebook Makers Moving to 4 GB Memory As Standard
Digitimes reports that first-tier notebook manufacturers are
increasing the standard
installed memory from the current 1 GB to 4GB. They claim the move is an attempt to shore up the costs of DRAM chips, which are currently
depressed because of a glut in market. The glut is supposedly due to
increased manufacturing capacity and
the slow adoption of Microsoft's Vista operating system. The proposed move is especially interesting, given that
32-bit Vista and XP cannot access 4 GB of memory. They have a
practical 3.1 — 3.3 GB limit. With Vista SP1 it seems that Microsoft has decided to fix the problem
by reporting the installed memory rather than the
available memory.
