OCZ today premiered the world

OCZ Technology just announced the world's first 4GB DDR3 memory kit that operates at 2GHz. The PC3-16000 4GB (2×2048MB) DDR3 dual channel kits and are backed by an industry-leading lifetime warranty that overclockers have come to love over the years. Designed to offer the earliest adopting enthusiasts the advantages of high-density memory coupled with the highest speeds available, the OCZ PC3-16000 4GB kits make use of the unbeatable overclocking capabilities of the latest platforms and takes DDR3 to unimaginable performance levels.

It is no myth that higher memory densities make it harder to push higher clock frequencies, commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. OCZ Technology pulled off this seemingly impossible task with the release of the worlds fastest high-density memory solution. The new OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Edition kits combine two 2GB modules for 4GB system density running at 9-9-9 latencies and a record-breaking 2GHz data rate. All of this is achieved at only 1.9V which falls well within the voltage tolerances of any DDR3 memory controller currently on the market.

Psiloc Connect looks to be, as Symbian In Motion says, ‘the app we’ve all been waiting for’. Creating its own unique access point, this then (behind the scenes) tries all your valid Wi-Fi access points and then (optionally) presses on down towards 3G/GPRS/EDGE etc. For much more on Psiloc Connect, you might as well start with SIM’s write up.

Intel, Samsung and TSMC today announced they have reached agreement on the need for industry-wide collaboration to target a transition to larger, 450mm-sized wafers starting in 2012.. The total silicon surface area of a 450mm wafer and the number of printed die is more than twice that of a 300mm wafer. The bigger wafers help lower the production cost per chip.

If you’re in the UK, make sure to watch The Gadget Show tonight. As part of a big ‘multimedia phone’ roundup, the Nokia N82 runs away with the top prize, with the presenter commenting that the N82 had one of the best cameras she has ever seen on a phone. The video quality was also sharp with accurate colours. 8pm UK time, channel 5.

XFX GeForce 9800GTX Black Edition Review from Gamepyre and other reviews from around the web can be found in our forums!

The bundle and support are very well with the XFX Black Edition GeForce 9800GTX, it comes with COD4, which is one of the hottest PC gaming titles available at this moment and costs around $49.95 at most e-tailors or retailers making the card a more attractive buy. Support and warranty options are well taken care of BY XFX as they take very good care of their customers in the after purchase environment and quick RMA return times. Overall this card is a solid piece of equipment that excels in the 1920X1200 and below resolutions with moderate AA and AF settings. In the 1680 and 1280 resolutions you can turn up the AA and AF settings to their maximum values and get great FPS gameplay. Not quite a gamers gold card, but definitely a Gamers Silver card award winner.

Kudos and respect to the Shelbinator for putting together a pretty definitive guide (with supporting text, but you need to watch the video) on how to set up the Nokia N95 (or N82 or N93 etc) with a pro-audio external microphone. Filed away for the next rainy day looking for weird adapters in my local RS or Tandy store! (via Mobile Jones)
