Hexus sets out to find out which of the major brands putting out sticks with the TCCD chips are the best of the best. If you're looking for serious overclocking performance, Samsung's TCCD's are the way to go right now.

"To sum up, if you want the coolest modules on the block and you're feeling flush, the Corsair Xpert is in a niche of its own. Paired with Samsung's TCCD modules, there's a world of performance to be had from them at modest Vdimm. Otherwise, the G.Skill and OCZ both come recommended at around the £200 mark, with Corsair's XL PRO and XL PT under that price, too."

More cool stuff from CeBIT, this time over at DigiTimes. They're reporting on the new mini-ITX board from VIA that supports dual-processors. That's right, a mini-ITX duallie. These boards run two of VIA's 1GHz Eden chips.

"Peripheral features of the board include one Gigabit Ethernet port, two Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) ports, one PCI slot, one Mini-PCI Type IIIA connector, one Ultra ATA/133 connector, two Serial ATA channels (with RAID support), up to four USB ports and VIA’s Vinyl Six-TRAC audio codec."

Whaddaya know? Yet another Sunbeamtech Transformer giveaway! Man, they're dumping these things like last week's American Idol contestants. Maybe we should look into having one? Heh. This time the giveaway's taking place over at CoolTechZone, & you've got to join up on their forums & have a minimum of five posts to be eligible.

Palm is apparently serious about their plans for a Linux based PalmOS. I can see a ton of people buying Palm's if for only this reason. Used to be you could get Sharp's Zaurus & slap a Linux OS on it, but they're now only available in Japan :-/

"CELF was founded two years ago to promote the use of Linux in devices such as handheld computers and mobile phones. Founders include Matsushita Electric Industrial, Sony, Hitachi, NEC, Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sharp and Toshiba to promote the use of Linux in devices such as handheld computers and mobile phones."

How sweet would it be to have a couple of these cards in your gaming rig? All settings on max, all the time, baby. Nice.

"Oh yes, you can rely on us to bring you the good stuff. Over here at CeBIT, the mighty (and rather impressive) XFX stand is showing off the very latest in GFX grunt.. a very sexy SLi set up using two 6800Ultra 512megs!"

CNet is reporting that there's another company out to put fuel cells into laptops, but this time they're promising delivery by year's end. How cool would that be? Never having to worry about your laptop's battery dying on you sounds pretty sweet to me. Long plane rides... awww yeah. You can see a larger photo of it here.

"The prototype, which is the size of a CD-ROM, was demonstrated at the CeBit trade show here on Thursday. The company also showed off a prototype 12W fuel cell for notebook PCs and a prototype fuel cell charger for cell phones."

Good stuff as always at the Inq-well. They've cornered an AMD PR rep & beat the tar outta... I mean... questioned him about the emerging re-vamped AMD naming scheme & the release of a dual-core Turion.

"He added: It's on our roadmap to have a dual core notebook chip. Opteron processors will be the middle of this year, then the desktop, then the notebook."

That's what it's looking like. I'm not entirely sure why the Mozilla foundation even continued to develop & promote two major projects like this in the first place. Maybe if they weren't so similar, but with the resounding success of Firefox, you had to know this was coming.

"Further discussion seems to indicate that with Firefox and Thunderbird development, along with other Mozilla Foundation activities, and the lack of developers, reviewers, and sufficient users of the Suite, there very well may not be a final release of the 1.8 version of Seamonkey."
