Nikon introduced the D3X D-SLR at CES, a massive 24.5-megapixel monolith that is sure to please prosumers and budding professionals. The $8000 monster is an excellent match for the new Photoshop CS4 64-bit app from Adobe for Mac and Windows, since the camera and software can process images over 130MB in size (for very large images, 64-bit apps can handle large images with ease, so Nikon is capitalizing on that trend). The FX-format runs… Read More

“The new Windows won't be showing up on retail shelves, though.

Quote from the review at PC Perspective:

Quote from the editorial: “Recently it came to our attention that AMD and Atari were both promoting a new game called Shadow Ops: Red Mercury to the pubic as the first 64-bit game on retail shelves and was that it was supposed to be a very important step for 64-bit gaming in general.

The Pocket Bit Pro USD-2G measures 7.3 x 5 x 1.3cm, so it's hardly as compact as your average Flash drive. But capacity and access speeds should compensate. The unit uses USB 2.0, with the connector rotating out of the Pocket Bit Pro's casing, not only to protect it when not in use, but to make it easier to connect the drive to a host computer. If the Pocket Bit Pro's size makes it sound rather like a screen-less PDA, its… Read More

The issue stems from the Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro labelled cards using a 128-bit memory bus, as apposed to other Radeon 9800 Pro's that use a 256-bit bus. According to the site www.boycottsapphire.com, “The card was originally… Read More

Quote from the preview: “The first thing I noticed about the T42p is that it's a bit bigger than the T41p I reviewed. The main reason for this is the slightly larger screen at 15in instead of 14.1in. Now, notebook manufacturers have a habit of playing a numbers game when it comes to screen size – adding an inch just to look that bit better than the competition, even though the resolution stays the same. Thankfully that… Read More

Kevin Knox, director of worldwide enterprise business development for AMD, Sunnyvale, Calif., made the remarks during a keynote at the Enterprise IT Week conference held in Las Vegas, which is held at the same time as Comdex. “They have put $300 million into marketing, and have convinced you of a lot of things that aren't true,” Knox said. “It's not a processor,” he said, noting that Centrino is… Read More
