 The MP3 player is arguably the final blow to the long-lived walkman. Now the question isn't just "how good does it sound?", but also "how small can it be?" Creative Labs' NOMAD MuVo NX certainly contends in that arena, but is it more than just show? Discuss this Article!

 Kingston has been making memory modules since 1987. In the last couple of years they have begun branching into the overclocker's market with their HyperX series of RAM. Already known for making high quality, affordable memory, many overclockers were curious to see how Kingston's performance line of memory would perform. Kingston began their HyperX line with PC2700 memory and recently have released PC4300 memory, producing memory for all the speed grades in between. Today we will be looking at their PC4000 1GB dual channel kit. Discuss this Article!

 If your shooting for silent computing then you've certainly noticed that no matter
how silent your fans or your more extreme cooling solution seem to be you still
have to put up with the constantly audible whirring noises made by your various
drives. Today we're going to take a look at Asus's attempt to help you quiet down
at least one of those drives, your CD-RW. So did they succeed in finding a silent
solution, or will earplugs still be necessary to those with finer hearing palettes. Discuss this Article!

Dell readies 624MHz Wi-Fi PocketPC
Although it's not often that a new PDA will cause you to go blind or hairy palms, this might just be an exception. The iPAQ's evil twin, the Dell Axim, has just mutated into a 775MHz beast.
"The new machines, together labelled as the x30 series, are based on Intel's PXA270 processor, aka 'Bulverde', clocked at 312MHz and 624MHz. While the former is numerically lower than the 400MHz PXA255 inside the current x3 line-up, Intel claims the 312MHz part is equivalent to a regular ARM-based CPU running at 520MHz, so users should see a significant speed-up. Intel claims the 624MHz version runs as fast as a PXA255 clocked to 775MHz."

For Sniffing Out Land Mines, a Platoon of Twitching Noses
Got a pesky rat problem? Tell it to the Army! Well, not quite. But nature's foot soldiers may just be catching up to human warfare. (From NYTimes.com. Soul-sucking registration required.)
"Just about every method of detecting land mines has a drawback. Metal detectors cannot tell a mine from a tenpenny nail. Armored bulldozers work well only on level ground. Mine-sniffing dogs get bored, and if they make mistakes, they get blown up. The Gambian giant pouched rat has a drawback, too: It has trouble getting down to work on Monday mornings. Other than that, it may be as good a mine detector as man or nature has yet devised."

ARM Gets SMP Core. Hands Everywhere Rejoice
Symetric Multi Processing (SMP) has made its way from the server to the ARM. The newly developed technologies will allow ARM processors to work as true multi-tasking (as opposed to multi-threading) processors.
"The SMP technology allows multiple processor cores to work together on a single silicon die. Generally you don’t see this sort of thing outside of a server. Its main advantage is that the chips don't get so hot, which is vital when you jack them into imbedded systems. Apparently Arm's MPCore design divides up the workload across multiple cores that can deliver the same overall performance at slower clock rates and remain cool. "

IBM hopes portal will build Power community
For years, members of the hardware community have looked to the open source movement for inspiration on opening the hardware development process. IBM may have come to the rescue, by giving the open hardware community the equivalent of the Linux kernel: the PPC architecture.
"IBM on Monday will take a step toward establishing an online community for developers that use its Power processor architecture. The company will announce plans to establish a Power portal, which it hopes will become a network for users of the chips and for third parties building Power-based products."
