Called sales about upgrading or to discuss buying new gamming pc. The first experience was good. Guess what. Four emails to Danny didn't inspire me. He said he'd get me pricing info out the next day. Again, the next day. I called and spoke to Chris. He was surprised and reported Danny was jammed up. Asked me to forward email and said he'd reach me. Nothing yet. I can easily purchase the new ram and video card on newegg, but thought I would shop with company that sold me the great pc. My sense is the sales team may be jammed up or not interested in the mild upgrades I was considering. Either way, it is unacceptable.

Intel is very happy Intel USB 3.0 chip business plan Q4 production of the Sandy Bridge processor will be an independent controller, the Faraday, Genesys, Wang Jiu such a boon
By Reporter Tu Chih-hao / Taipei】 Intel set next week in the fall Developer Forum held in the United States (IDF) next-generation 32-nanometer processors enshrined in Sandy Bridge, will be announced in the Sandy Bridge motherboard reference design (reference design), the official into separate host-side USB 3.0 (host) controller. Corporation said the move will accelerate the popularity of USB 3.0, and Faraday (3035), Chong Wei (6104), Wang Jiu (6233), etc. in terms of industry would be a boon. IDF Intel's annual gala will be held next week in San Francisco, this year's main event is to take the new structure of 32 nm processors Sandy Bridge, will be advanced to production in Q4 cast film, and was to ship in Q1 next year. Although Intel does not carry the Cougar Point Sandy Bridge chipset, the original built-in USB 3.0 Host Controller, but rival Advanced Micro USB 3.0 layout has been in full swing, so Sandy Bridge reference design directly into the motherboard USB 3.0. AMD is currently leading Intel USB 3.0 layout, including Season 2 will be launched next year, code-named Llano's new four-core processor speed (APU), also introduced native built-in USB 3. 0 Host controller Hudson-D2 , Hudson-M3 chipset; The group had no support other chips, but AMD has been with Renesas Electronics (Renesas) cooperation will Renesas USB 3.0 into their motherboard reference designs. That is, after next year's Q2, AMD will support all computer platforms USB 3.0. Intel originally intended to promote the fiber-optic communication transmission interface for the Light Peak mainstream, but the new standard for promotion, Intel shifted attention to the potential business opportunities for USB 3.0, in addition to already announced Ligh t Peak connector with USB 3.0 compatible motherboard industry rumors, Intel AMD and Renesas will follow the example of the cooperation model, the Sandy Bridge motherboard reference design by adding USB 3.0 Host Controller, is now in the final debugging work. Motherboard industry indicated, into the reference design is still used by the independent USB 3.0 host controller, the customer can decide whether to support, but now the controller has less than three U.S. dollars price situation, almost all motherboards are determined will join the USB 3.0 functionality, which will drive USB 3.0 Host controller chip sales, on the Renesas, Faraday, Yu Chong, Wei Feng and other businesses will be profitable. Intel and Advanced Micro USB 3.0 interface fully into after, including flash drives, external hard drive, Blu-ray disc players and other storage devices, USB 3.0 will be fully shifted from generation to generation, and fully detonating device side (device) USB 3.0 control chip sales , including Genesys, Wang Jiu, Yasukuni and other industry, 4 quarter are receiving module works or hard disk factory orders and start shipping, USB 3. 0 market has officially entered the explosive growth stage identified. ]]> General Discussion y eye http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4028-Chinese-News-translated-Source-Intel-IDF-Sandy-Bridge-w-USB-3-0 http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4027-Article-The-Shift-%28a-brief-very-brief-review%29&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:08:44 GMT You can view the page at http://www.maingearforums.com/content.php?183-The-Shift-%28a-brief-very-brief-review%29 You can view the page at http://www.maingearforums.com/conten...rief-review%29 ]]> vBCms Comments admin http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4027-Article-The-Shift-%28a-brief-very-brief-review%29 http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4026-The-Shift-%28a-brief-very-brief-review%29&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:51:35 GMT This is not my first Maingear machine, in fact it's now my forth which includes a laptop that is literally bullet proof.

When I emailed Maingear and said I wanted a Themalteke 10 (think that how you spell it) i& with 6 cores they quickly recommended I consider going for the Shift, their custom built casing. Given the fact they have never steered me wrong I went with their recommendation, WOW!

So this stealth big black box was delivered to my apartment ...

Not only is the actual performance of the box, I use my machines for number crunching and not gaming (although Cyrsis does purrr on my new Shift) absolutely outstanding but the thing that I was extremely happy with was the noise, or lack thereof. Other than cool white lights showing off the liquid cooled CPU and GPUs you wouldn't know the machine is even powered on. The huge fans spin so slowly that you can't even hear them.

This baby has been churning non stop for almost two weeks.

Yes I would have recommended Maingear before this machine, but not I urge any power users to point and click ... this is truly an amazing machine, to such an extent the firm I work for is now also considering implementing the Shift. ]]> Customer Reviews grgilbert http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4026-The-Shift-%28a-brief-very-brief-review%29 http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4022-Nvidia-said-to-be-planning-chipset-that-combines-GPU-and-southbridge&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:44:26 GMT Latest news
Monica Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 1 September 2010]

Nvidia has recently been developing a chipset that combines the functions of a southbridge and a GPU, with the goal of the product to reduce cost for PC makers as well as create more potential for smaller and lighter devices, according to sources from motherboard makers.

The makers stated that legal considerations, in terms of permission from Intel for Nvidia to participate in the chipset business, should be made smoother by the recent lawsuit the US Fair Trade Commission (FTC) took up with Intel. However, Intel is not expected to start any such negotiations with Nvidia in the near future, the sources speculated.

Therefore, Nvidia is developing the new chipset to bypass Intel's new Sandy Bridge architecture, which combines CPU and northbridge chipsets. Nvidia's expected business model would be for motherboard makers to purchase Intel's Sandy Bridge solution without the southbridge solution (Cougar Point). This would save the makers US$10-15, and that money could be applied to purchasing Nvidia's combo solution, though the sources did not comment on any Nvidia pricing.

An Nvidia spokesperson denied the news saying,"We have already announced that we have withdrawn from the Intel chipset marketplace. We have no plans to return to it and are not developing new Intel chipset products."

Nviida commented by reiterating that it announced it has withdrawn from the Intel chipset marketplace and it has no plans to return to it, nor is it developing new Intel chipset products

I'm in the market (OR will be when I get school funds) for a new laptop. I'm looking at the eXL-17 with a the 480m inside. I've been a die hard Mac fan for a long time but my school works almost exclusively with Windows based software, and as well I have not been able to play the games I've wanted to for a long time (Only this month did I play Portal and ... Half Life 2, crazy I know). The 15 incher was appealing as well for it's lower price and similar performance but I just started school for programming and nVidia seems to have a roadmap (And current success) for running code on GPU's while AMD seems to have none.

I was amazed by the reseller ratings for this company, one of the main reasons I'm contemplating becoming a customer. I did have a few questions though. I'll keep this thread to hold future ones should I think of them.

Question one: The Clevo chassis the desktop i7 and 480m sit in. How loud is it, how hot does the keyboard get, have you guys done burn in tests to make sure it won't die from prolonged use and gaming sessions? How hot does the CPU get under load? The GPU?

Questions Two: I want a custom design on the lid, but how do I ensure it's perfect, what if I think it's messed up? It's not a side panel but part of the laptop as a whole, how would this be delt with?

Questions Three: Why no choice for a 2.5 Seagate Momentus XT hard drive? I have read many a good thing about this drive and think it would be great for all of your laptops.

Again that's all I can think of now but, hello everyone! ]]> General Discussion philharmonic http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4013-Hello-all-new-here http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4012-new-products-from-Seagate-for-the-it-s-coming-store&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:38:04 GMT http://link.brightcove.com/services/...id=76515009001 ]]> General Discussion y eye http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4012-new-products-from-Seagate-for-the-it-s-coming-store http://www.maingearforums.com/showthread.php?4011-This-weekend-Weekend-Eye-of-the-Storm&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:53:18 GMT By Steve Christ | Saturday, September 4th, 2010 Steve definitely knows his eyes. ...

ARM Cortex-A9 Processor Platform with Gate First High-K Metal Gate
Qualification Vehicles will enable smooth production ramp-up and faster time-to-market for foundry customers

Milpitas, Calif. – September 1, 2010 – At today’s inaugural Global Technology Conference, GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced it has taped-out a qualification vehicle based on the ARM® Cortex™ A9 dual processor [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)], an industry first on 28nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) technology. This Technology Qualification Vehicle (TQV) will allow GLOBALFOUNDRIES to optimize its 28nm HKMG process for customer designs based on the next-generation dual-core ARM processor, providing a faster path to market for foundry customers developing the computing devices of tomorrow.

The jointly developed TQV reached the tapeout stage in August at GLOBALFOUNDRIES Fab 1 in Dresden, Germany and was a part of the strategic collaboration with ARM announced last year. Silicon results are expected back from the fab in late 2010.
