Sun announce MySQL 5.1

Sun Microsystems announced a new Version of the relational data base management system MySQL. A release candidate of MySQL 5.1 is now available on the download server.
The Version 5.0 is now about 2.5 years alive and 5.1 promises to be a little bit faster. The DB-Admin should be able to have a better control about the system.
I´m sure it is worth to make that upgrade. And the 6.0 Alpha is also on the way!

Ram Memory Prices

Now we have a really great time to buy computer memory at a low price. I can remember the time I was glad to upgrade my PC to 512MB and later to 1GB. Today I have 4GB of RAM. The Ram Memory Prices are at the lowest level ever. Memorydeal.net offers high quality modules and low Computer Memory Prices. So have a look at it and find the right 2GB Memory Upgrade for your PC.

ONwebCHECK: Test the GeForce 9800 GX2

ATM is the fastest VGA-Card the GeForce 9800 GX2 from nVidia. The demand for new and much more faster VGA cards grows and grows. The main reason is that new games which want to be more and more realistic and so they need more and more graphic power and for that you need Windows Vista with the direct 10X. The GeForce 9800 GX2 is a very powerful card with two GPU´s ( 2x G92-Chips) with 128 Shader-ALU´s per chip with 2x 512MByte and 256 Bit-Bus between GPU and graphic-RAM. And don´t forget this card demand 200W!
But to play with that card is really a pleasure!

Industrial Directory

Do you using web or online directories? I use different kind of directories more times a day, and the most important directories I have bookmarked in my browser. It helps me to find that what I want much faster and easier and so I´m able to save a lot of time.
The industrial directory from Zycon we can take as a exemplary directory. This directory connecting engineers or technical buyers with companies which have the right products and/or services they look for. The site is clear and simple to use and so you can find that what you want quickly. For example you want to look for some butterfly valves, sou you select ´V´ on the home directory and than ´valves´. In a second you can choose from all kind of valves including the butterfly valves you was looking for.

ONwebCHECK AMD and Intel new CPU´s

Two weeks before the IDF, Intel and AMD give us some new details about the next CPU generation. Some facts was already know, like that the new Xeon-CPU (which will be compatible to the Xeon-MP Tigerton) will have six Penryn cores with a 16MByte L3-Cache and so about 1.9 Billion transistors on one die. Really new is the information is that the new AMD CPU Nehalem which should launch in the 3 quarter of 2008, will have only a256KByte Cache per core and so only a half of the Barcelone and Phenom core but with a L3 Cache of 8MByte. But there should be also some CPU´s with only 6MB L3 Cache. So we will see if Intel and AMD will be able to realize their promises.

ONwebCHECK form CeBit

This year on the CeBit the large slogan was green IT. Everything was better than the last time. Maybe not faster but much better for the environment. The power consumption from the CPU, GPU and other chips was reduced. But not only big Companies like AMD or Intel wrote the slogan we are so green on their banner, even smaller companies do it so.
I think that is the first step to a new generation of computers and other electronic stuff and there is still a lot of to do to lower the wasting of energy. So the Green IT 2.0 will come soon.

Direct X 10 on Board

Now there are new Mainboards with Direct X 10 on board graphic chips form AMD and Nvidia.
The manufacturer will present the new mainboards on the CeBit next moth.
AMD with the new 780G with Direct 3D 10 will also support Hypertransport 3.0 and PCI Express 2.0. On the other side if I want to have Direct 3D 10 I also want much more power :)

Power Gaming PC

My customers often ask me what kind of computer they have to bye. Than I ask them what kind of application they want to run on that computer or what for they need the PC. After I get the answer I need I can offer them a solution for their demands.

But for real power gamer there is no limit. There is a new Super Gamin PC. Intel Skulltrail with 2 CPU´s – with 8 Cores 4 GPU´s and 1400W - WOW what a power!

Intel Core2duo with stolen tech?

Does Intel use in their Core2Duo CPU´s a technology without permission? That is now the big question, because the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison blames Intel to use their paten with the No 5.781.752. The patent is about the acceleration for parallel processing CPU´s. It is about the command prediction. This technology had been appreciated of the network architecture in experts as a milestone.

Now the WARF wants Intel to stop selling the Core2Duo CPU and pulled it now before the court.

That will be interesting.............

Airplane GPS and more Accessories

Do you own an airplane or you have to take care for one? Do you still looking for a reliable supplier with good prices? So maybe you still don´t know Sky Geek! But why you should choose Sky Geek instead of others supplier? Quite simply – it is a supplier like it should be. They they have experience for several years. They offers a huge amount of accessories and special stuff like Airplane GPS. They Sky Geek have aviation-oriented clients in the whole World!

So if you looking for a GPS system for a good price and quality I´m sure you you could choose the right one from the Garmin Avionics which are offered there. Garmin Aviation is a good choice in quality. But you will also find there many other stuff with a good quality to a really good price.

You can get there a loot of thinks for your airplane or a pilot like airframe parts, avionics, books & DVD´s engine parts, electrical and fuel accessories.

And if you know a pilot and you don´t know what does he need – no problem! You can also order a gift certificate from 25$ up to 1.000$. That is what I miss in so many other online shops!

New FireWire

The new FireWire S3200 runs with 3,2 GBit/s. At the moment it is still unknown when new components with that will works with this new specification.

ONwebCHECK - AMD in deep trouble

Now I´m sure - AMD is in deep trouble at the moment. AMD stops the distribution of the Barcelona CPU´s. The reason is a bug in the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) - It was so important for AMD to be in time with this CPU but now we can only hope they will be able to fix this problem soon. I will give you more information about that later.....

You want to know how it looks inside of a Hard Disk Drive (HDD)? I open one for you. So you can see the rotating disk and the read/write head.

ONwebCHECK Trip to Mars

NASA plans manned Mars mission 2031. I think there is still a long long way to other planets and the biggest problem is to have the right engine to get high acceleration. With conventional engines the trip to Mars take several month. The whole Mission (Earth-Mars-Earth) including stop on Mars will take about 900 days. That is really a long time. I can´t imagine to be away over 2 Years somewhere in the space......

ONwebCHECK: Rambus still alive and with new visions

Rambus aims for the year 2011 with new signal and transmission chips which should be able to transfer data up to 1 TByte/s (1.000 GigaByte per second). The Rambus developers wants to combine several technical innovations. So the new memory type can transfer 32 of data transfers per cycle between DRAM chip and the memory controller. So we can look forward to some really fast chips .... but sometimes it also depends on the price and not only on a good technology.

AMD presents first graphic chips with Direct X 10.1

Right now to the Christmas business AMD presents their new graphic chips with direct X 10.1. The chip will work in the new Radeon hp 3870 and hp 3850 - both with the GPU RV670. So if you think about a new VGA-Graphic-Card you maybe want wait until the new one will be available.
The clock frequencies of the Radeon hp 3870 with 775 MHz for the chip and 1200 MHz for the 512 MByte GDDR4-RAM. Below of it AMD stations the hp 3850 (670 MHz) with 256 MByte GDDR3-RAM (833 MHz).

Intel introduces several 45-nm CPU´s

Some sample of CPU´s of the ´Penryn´-generation with 45nm-structure Intel already sent to the press and some developers months ago. Within the next 30 to 45 days Intel start to sell 12 variants of the quad core Server CPU Xeon 5400 and two dual core Xeons 5200 as well as the only 45-nm CPU for desktop computers, core 2 extremes QX9650.
We also still expected a new chip set ´San Clemente´which is able to handle registered DDR2-DIMMs instead of fully buffered DIMMs!
