Micron is laying claim to the world's fastest solid state drive (SSD) ever built, and on paper at least, it is an accurate statement. Its new X100 SSD is rated to deliver more than 9 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of read and write bandwidth, a staggering figure for sure, along with up to 2.5 million IOPS. These figures make it more than 3X faster than competitive SSD offerings, Micron says. As you may have surmised, the X100 is bound for datacenters rather than home PCs. That's okay, though, because bleeding edge technology often starts in the datacenter and eventually trickles down into the consumer space. In the meantime, we will have to make do with the growing field of PCI Express 4.0 SSDs...

Fujifilm's X100 isn't your average camera. In fact, it's no one's average camera. It's a high-end point-and-shoot. A compact that runs well over $1k, yet doesn't have a zoom. But the design and image quality is unparalleled, and evidently that's good enough for some. There's a major APS-C sensor in there, and tons of good looks, but the X100 was born with a few issues, just as most first-run devices are. Thankfully, most modern-day devices can also handle a firmware update, which enables manufacturers to improve upon products that are already in the hands of customers. Fujifilm has announced that their X100 firmware is now up to v1.10, which clears up a bunch of settings that reverted themselves,...

It may not be the fastest SFF system out there, but its feature set and form factor make the X100 truly impressive. Who needs a Mac-Mini when these things are available? "Shuttle is taking a different approach to the notebook-based small form factor system. Unlike the limited upgradeability of the Apple Mac mini and AOpen mini PC, Shuttle's new notebook-based small form factor system attempts to pack the goodies and upgrade capabilities of a gaming notebook into a slim rectangular box. Does Shuttle's X100 have what it takes to win over enthusiasts...

The Register has exclusive info regarding Shuttle's latest living-room destined SFF system dubbed the XPC X100. With a size significantly smaller than the company's previous offerings. Designed around Windows Media Center, the system uses an Intel Core Duo CPU matched with DDR2 memory, SATA drives, and the usual array of ports. Perhaps most interesting is the availability of an MXM-based graphics solution that should make for some interesting mods and upgrades once the system becomes available.Shuttle has taken the wraps off its upcoming next-generation small form-factor PC which crams an Intel 65nm dual-core processor, memory, hard drive, optical storage and other goodies into a case that's...

This past year has been a tumultuous one for ATI. The Canadian graphics giant has been plagued by well-documented supply problems and have had to deal with multiple delays to their next-gen product, being developed under the code name "R520". The situation is reminiscent of NVIDIA's prior to the launch of the NV30 which later became known as the GeForce FX 5800. Back then, NVIDIA had been commissioned to develop a GPU and chipset for the original Xbox, and planned to have their new GPUs produced on an advanced .13 micron manufacturing process. The combination of the move to .13 micron and the resource drain of developing core components for the Xbox caused NVIDIA to falter, which allowed...

Hey folks, it's time to empty the box again. We've got some different articles in tonight, such as the Apple iPod HP 20GB review, and a review for the Logitech Quickcam ORBIT Face-tracking Webcam. Goodnight all, enjoy your reading :) Danger Den RBX Waterblock Review @ OCModShop "The accelerator nozzles on the RBX are a very interesting concept. They allow the end user to adjust the water flow through the block to best suit the rest of the cooling system. The accelerator nozzle kit contains four precut nozzles and one blank for your own design. The #1 nozzle is the only one included with the block but the nozzle kit is fairly inexpensive considering the adjustability and performance tweaking...
