New PC2-9200 FlexXLC ram modules


Dailytech has reported that OCZ has unveiled its . The unique point of these new memory modules is the new cooling solution, which offers both passive and water-cooling. This is accomplished by using a hybrid copper and aluminum design with a copper liquid injection system.
OCZ has gone on record to say that, while passive cooling is quite adequate the new water cooling system is far more efficient. It will allow the RAM to reach new levels of overclock without compromising on system performance. The OCZ PC2-9200 modules are available in 2 GB kits and will feature a lifetime warranty. Price and availability are unknown at this time.

"Nvidia Quadro" The graphic card for next generation desktop


It had been some time since NVIDIA introduced any ultrahigh-end graphics cards, but earlier this year the company announced two additions to the Quadro
family. Cadalyst received the first of these new cards to review here. I hope to evaluate the second new model, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600, in the near future.
The Quadro FX 4600 is a PCIe 16x workstation-level graphics card with 768MB of onboard GDDR3 memory. In a radical departure from previous Quadro graphics cards, the FX 4600 (and the FX 5600) are based on the G80 series of GPUs (graphics processing units), similar to an architecture used in the latest NVIDIA line of consumer-grade cards, including the GeForce 8800 GTS and GTX. In the new workstation versions, the graphics cards are enhanced to support the needs of professional users. This move affords NVIDIA support for DirectX 10 on the new Microsoft Vista operating platform and offers a unified shader architecture that also benefits OpenGL and legacy DX 9 applications.

The FX 4600 supports OpenGL 2.1 and has 20 new OpenGL extensions. Additionally, the new Quadros support high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) for playing back protected content. NVIDIA POWERdraft for AutoCAD and NVIDIA MAXtreme for Autodesk 3ds Max are supported for those who use these design applications. Among the many extras for the professional-level Quadro FX 4600 are extensive application certifications

We tested the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 on an Xi MTower PCIe from @Xi Computer, which was based on an Intel Core2 X6800 2.93GHz processor that was overclocked to 3.47GHz and water cooled. The system had 2GB of RAM installed, and testing was done with NVIDIA prerelease drivers v.6.14.10.9772 (01/29/07) that had incorporated the configuration files for the new Quadro card. We changed our benchmark test procedure slightly for this review, as noted below.

Anti spam system

Anti spam for Exchange and Lotus Domino
Policy Patrol Spam Filter works with Exchange and Lotus Domino and uses a multi-layered anti-spam approach to effectively detect spam messages, analyzing headers, content and third party lists. Spam messages can be forwarded to a junk mail folder, quarantined or deleted and can include a header or tag. Quarantined mails can be viewed from the program or via the web. Policy Patrol includes an advanced challenge/response system and allows users to update white lists and black lists via public folders and mailboxes.
Version 4 now includes many new features including Sender Policy Framework, public folder management, move to junk mail folder and improved anti-spam challenge/response. What else is new in version 4?
By blocking unwanted mails, Policy Patrol Spam Filter for Exchange and Lotus Domino reduces network traffic, saves bandwidth and improves employee productivity. Policy Patrol ships with a default configuration that will start blocking spam within seconds after installation. Policy Patrol is used by companies such as USA.net, Nissan, Daewoo, Targus, Canadian Pacific Railway, Lotto, Fujitsu Services (Central Government customer) and many more.

New intel server the future of the server system

Powerful New Intel Server Platforms Feature Array Of Enterprise-Class Innovations
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 2, 2004 - Intel Corporation today unveiled a new generation of Intel® Xeon™ processor-based server platforms. The platforms are based on an array of new performance-enhancing technologies and capabilities that collectively help to better address the evolving needs of enterprise computing.
Intel's new dual-processor capable platforms, which are based on the Intel Xeon processor at 3.60 GHz introduced in June, utilize the new Intel® E7520 and E7320 chipsets (formerly codenamed "Lindenhurst") that vary in features and prices. The platforms also include the new Intel® IOP332 Storage I/O Processor (formerly codenamed "Dobson") that delivers improved RAID storage performance over previous generations. The platforms also incorporate a host of other new and enhanced memory, I/O and bus technologies that increase performance in key server benchmarks over prior generations.
"We've innovated and integrated the processor, chipset, storage and networking components with these technologies into platforms that help deliver a new standard in performance, reliability and cost," said Abhi Talwalkar, Intel vice president and general manager, Enterprise Platforms Group. "Utilizing these technologies will enable the systems built on these platforms to perform many of the most demanding jobs business, science or government can throw at them."
Other new technologies include faster DDR2 400 memory, a higher-throughput 800 MHz system bus and higher-bandwidth PCI Express* interconnect technology than previous generations. Each works in concert with the performance, power optimization, and flexible 32- and 64-bit memory addressability of the Intel Xeon processor for balanced overall operation.
