MODDING: blogs

Previously it was a race to get as many people to buy your phone as possible. Now the name of the game is to get as many people to register and use your software as possible – and if they happen to buy a phone as well that’s perfect. How does the strategy work out? Let’s find out.

Corsair today announced the launch of the new Dominator GT line of ultra high-performance DDR3 memory modules for Intel Core i7-based systems. Sporting a new racing red color scheme and the next-generation of Corsairs patent-pending Dual-path Heat eXchange (DHX) technology, the new Dominator GT comes in 3-up 6GB kit, running at 2000MHz with latencies of 7-8-7. To read the official press release follow the link below.

In addition to the 1866C7 Dominator GT, Corsair will be offering very limited quantities of hand-screened, hand-tuned, extreme performance modules in both 3GB and 6GB kits. These kits are specifically designed to allow hardcore overclockers to push the limits of PC performance and are built with the fastest chips available. Because of the complexity in screening, manufacturing and testing, the Dominator GT family will be available only through the exclusive online GT Performance Shop at http://www.corsair.com, where Corsair will offer also offer the full range of cooling options for the Dominator GT family.

PhotoFlow, from Scalado, is a piece of software that can be used to view, and zoom-in on, images stored on the phone. While Gallery ties in with the rest of the phone (e.g. send as MMS) PhotoFlow is a better performer if you are simply interested in viewing images; as our video demonstrates, you are able to browse through images and zoom in much faster than the standard Gallery application. Read on for more and to view the video.

There doesn't appear to be an official launch announcement but it looks like Corsair will be selling their products direct from their own online store. Right now, there are only the top performing Dominator GT RAM kits available but I would suspect more would be available soon.

Cavalry Storage CAND3001T0 1TB Network Drive Review @ OCC and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“The CAND3001T0 is an easy way to add shared storage to your network, as it comes with hard drives installed and preconfigured for use. For users wanting basic storage functionality with a minimum of fuss, the CAND3001T0 offers and additional 500GB of storage out of the box due to its RAID-1 factory configuration. I found the Web UI to be very basic and its use of fractured English to be mildly annoying at times and downright confusing at others. The interface seems more like a first attempt rather than a polished, completed product. The added features are where I had the most issues, from e-mail alerts that were too basic to be of any use, to the backup capability that left me wondering if maybe it should have been left out until an integrated working restore functionality could be included.”

XFX recently released their own Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card, so if you are in the market for the flagship ATI graphics card look no further.

Offering 2.4 teraFLOPS of graphics horsepower, 1600 stream processors and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, the XFX Radeon HD 4870 X2 is impossibly fast and exceptionally powerful. Specifically, dual TeraScale graphics engines work in tandom to deliver blazing frame rates for the gaming experience gamers have previously only envisioned. Add 1600 stream processors and 230 GB/sec of memory bandwidth of brute power, the XFX Radeon HD 4870 X2 can tackle the most intense 3D games-including those experience-killers that feature artificial intelligence, physics operations and tessellation.
