Buffalo company, after Christmas, released a new pair of DDR3 modules with 2200 Mhz . This is the fastest RAM made today. But only drawback is, it requires high input voltage.
This is the new "FireStix FSI2200D3K-K2G" at considerable 2.1 volts. Normally DDR3 Ram requires 1.8 Volts. This 0.6V difference is very considerable size. Because of high voltage it can be used at timings 9-9-9-24. Its really helpful for overclockers. This 2*1 module will soon appear in the market. The price is not out.

Big profits are coming from 4xxx series. (ATI) to our AMD !!
That is one P4 Northwood core processor.
Northwood core was introduced in January 2002.
Intel stopped L3 cache and Hyperthreading concept because the core then was not able to fully utilize these two.
Now, Nehalem has superb core, wider bus, lot of bandwidth, they had a chance to try L3 cache and Hyperthreading and it worked wonders. Hyperthreading is giving 30% increase in performance in 3d applications.
Intel still rules....

Thus, we were a bit surprised when we first heard about the ECS GeForce 9800 GTX+ Hydra - a twin pack of high-end graphics cards consisting of two GeForce 9800 GTX+ cards combined with liquid-cooling. The 9800 GTX+ is the upper level of the 9xxx series, with the plus denoting an extra bump in the clock speeds to get better peformance in the most demanding applications. Two of these used in an SLI configuration would be a gamer's dream, although the noise and heat output could be an issue. ECS has solved these problems by providing the customized liquid cooling unit from ThermalTake using the BigWater 760is. ECS hopes to make a big splash here with the Hydra pack, possibly the first of its kind to include all three components in one box. First, we'll take a look at the specs of the GeForce 9800 GTX+ and then move onto a closer look at ECS' take on it and finally the BigWater 760is.
