Intel said that it was able to fine tune its DRAM design and hit a physical clock of 2 GHz using a 65 nm manufacturing process. The resulting 2T-DRAM offers a stunning bandwidth of 128 GB/s. If Intel is successful to take the clock speed up to the level of its QX9770/9775 processors, the bandwidth would climb to 204.8 GB/s.

Dear Dekard,

The Windows Home Server team is pleased to announce details of the public beta of Windows Home Server Power Pack 1. This public beta will include the fix for the data corruption bug described in Knowledge Base article #946676 as well as a host of other bug fixes and new capabilities. The Power Pack 1 download is planned to be available in early June and Beta participants are encouraged to sign up and begin preparing now.

Due to the nature of the shared folder data corruption bug (KB #946676) a broad beta test program with sufficient time for feedback is required. The timeline for a final release will depend on this feedback and testing, in order to deliver a fix of the highest quality. To meet our goals for the beta test we need the number of beta testers who are actively using and testing the Power Pack 1 beta to ramp up very quickly. Therefore we are asking beta testers to begin preparing in advance.

Futuremark released 3dMark Vantage recently and have already found a few ways to improve it. For the full patch notes read on and we'll be mirroring the files here just as soon as we get them.

The majority of us access OCW through our computer's web browser. An increasing number though, are using their phone or pda's mobile browser to access the forums. We've optomized the forums to display wonderfully on the smaller screens that most of these devices have. To access the mobile version of the forums just head to the same address you use currently from your computer. That's http://www.overclockingwiki.org/forums . Our systems will automatically detect that your on a mobile browser and give you the smaller, optomized version of the site which will look great on your phone or PDA.

Its just one more way we're trying to make OCW the best site for you. 

The Hauppauge HD-PVR could be what we've all been waiting for since approximately 2003. Ever since people have been connecting their PCs to their HDTVs, there has been a strong desire to watch, record, and store HDTV content on the PC.  The first option came by way of HD tuners for "OTA" (over the air) HDTV signals that can be received via a digital antenna.  This option is obviously limited to only those channels that can be received via antenna, which is primarily the "big" networks.  However, for those of us who subscribe to premium HD channels like Discovery HD, ESPN HD, etc. 

All of us have been waiting for the release of Futuremark's latest benchmark, 3DMark Vantage. Well, its out and you can download it here .

3DMark® Vantage

3DMark® Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware. 3DMark® Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.

Presets

A key new feature in 3DMark® Vantage is the rendering option Presets. These pre-selected combinations of rendering option settings, like resolution, anti-aliasing and texture quality, represent different, successively more advanced levels of visual quality. When running 3DMark® Vantage with one of the presets selected, the benchmark produces an official score for that preset. Instead of the single default setting of previous 3DMarks, there are four Presets available for Entry, Performance, High and Extreme visual quality.
