6.2.2008 Microsoft's Big Bet: Win Within the Web
Although the latest version of Microsoft Windows is more than six months from shipping, company brass already have christened Vista as the best and biggest Windows release since Windows 95.
The company is making bold predictions, claiming Vista will be preloaded on as many as 200 million new personal computers in the first 24 months that the product is available. Windows 95 shipped on a mere 67 million new PCs during its first two years. These numbers are important. The prospects of nearly every product Microsoft makes ride on maintaining the ubiquity of Windows, which has in excess of 90 percent of the PC operating system market. It's been five years since the current Windows version was released, and Windows XP now is looking rather dated.

25.06.2009Customers get a supercomputer on the cheap
IBM ratcheted the world of
supercomputing up a few
notches in June with the Blue
Gene/P, a system nearly three
times as fast as its
predecessor at a cost of
US$1.3 million per rack.
But in
anticipation of the Blue
Gene/P, IBM dropped the price
of the Blue Gene/L, to about
$800,000 late last year,
prompting sales of the older
supercomputer to more than
double during the first half
of this year compared to the
second half of 2006, says Herb
Schultz, IBM's deep-computing
marketing manager.
At its highest price, the
Blue Gene/Lcost $1.3 million
per rack, same as the P's
current price.
"It's still a very

says. Among universities,
"we've had some really big

Polytechnic Institute in Troy,

03.01.2008Do-It-Yourself SSD Guide
Kevin O'Brien: Solid state disks (SSDs) are a flash-based memory storage device that carries an insane price premium in the current market. They will
usually cost $600 to $1,000 as an upgrade from the manufacturer or computer parts store, making them outside the price range of many consumers. A new
cheaper (slightly slower) option is available thanks to low-cost, high-capacity flash cards. This option is using a cheap compact flash to SATA
adapter, and purchasing a moderately fast memory card that would fill your storage needs.
For this review I aimed to keep the
price less than $100 just to show how affordable this option could be.

08.01.2009Core i7 on a budget: MSI X58 Pro-E review
Perhaps the biggest problem we saw with initial Intel X58 motherboards was their substantial price. Add to that the serious price premium for DDR3
memory, and you ended up with a relatively affordable and fast Core i7 920 processor that nevertheless needed to run on an expensive platform. The
recent drop in DDR3 pricing got us thinking about the affordability of the Core i7 platform, and we began to wonder just how cheap users could build
one of these systems. MSI has quietly been preparing an army of Core i7 motherboards, now with five unique models on offer, we feel they may have
what we're after.

31.10.2006Like having 2 graphics cards? How about 4? And why not add 4 CPU cores too...
About a year ago if you asked a PC building enthusiast what processor to use, he/she would probably have pointed you toward a slick 64-bit AMD chip
which at the time was some of the best performance at a sweet price, win-win right?
That all changed when the Intel Core 2 Duo
chips came out with better performance and even lower price points. The Intel fanboys rejoiced as the top spot had returned to the chip making giant.
To this day Intel has remained in the lead with multiple iterations of the Core 2 Duo architecture with increased speeds and even doubling the cores
(Quad Core chips) thus solidifying their top dog status.
AMD, however, has not given up... not by a longshot. While we all have
waited to see the results of their ATi acquisition, today I had the chance to check it out firsthand. That's right, folks, AMD has its own
triple-play to show off: new true quad core 64 bit CPU--the Phenom, a new Radeon 3800 series set graphic cards, and to support it all... a fancy new
chipset known as "Spider."

Unfortunately, like most new technologies, the GeoBulb does not come cheap with a price tag of $120.00 it will take some time before the GeoBulb
or any other LED based light bulb will receive mass market adoption. Like any other new technology the price should drop dramatically as the bulb is
