The just in for those of use that have the most awesome phone in the world, the ATT Tilt or HTC TyTn II, the folks over at HTC Class Action have got hte drivers up and running…
Click HERE to visit them and check out the video of the driers in action!
Quote from the site:
What you can see here is D3D running on the TyTN II - hardware accelerated! Seems we’re getting places. It’s still not perfect though; the drivers have been improved somewhat, but both OpenGL ES and D3D do not work in full-screen mode yet. For the technically inclined, there will probably have to be some modifications to the XIP and a special ROM for this.
We will be releasing a CAB based installer for the drivers in their current state probably later today, if everything goes as planned. The hacker who is actually doing all this has stated he wants to remain anonymous, so we wont tell you who he is

Title: Everything You Need to Know About Dual Channel
Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/133
Category: Tutorials
Summary:
Everything you need to know about dual channel technology, which is used to double memory transfer rate. Includes how it works, how to set it up, how to calculate transfer speeds and more.
Here is a snippet:
“The system RAM memory prevents the PC of achieving its maximum capable performance. This happens because the processor (CPU) is faster than RAM memory and usually it has to wait for the RAM memory to deliver data. During this wait time the CPU is idle, doing nothing (that’s not absolutely true, but it fits in our explanation). In a perfect computer, the RAM memory would be as fast as the CPU. Dual channel is a technique used to double the communication speed between the memory controller and the RAM memory, and thus improving the system performance. In this tutorial we will explain everything you need to know about dual channel technology: how it works, how to set it up, how to calculate transfer speeds and more.”

CPU3D Review: PALiT GeForce 9600GT SONIC 1GB Video Card
One gigabyte of GDDR3 ram is not reserved only for the higher end enthusiast cards. PALiT have introduced an affordable Geforce 9600GT card that has just that … a full 1Gb of GDDR3 ram onboard. What’s more this card features an overclocked GPU @ 700Mhz, while the ram runs at a speedy 2000Mhz. Our CPU3D review team puts the PALiT Geforce 9600GT Sonic through its paces.
“…PALiT brings us a 9600GT with more connectivity options than you can shake a stick at. Also let’s not forget the connectivity options with twin DVI ports, HDMI port, an optical S/PDIF out port (enabling HDMI sound from the motherboard), and a DisplayPort.”

Title:
Zotac GTX 280 1GB AMP! Edition Video Card @ TheTechLounge
Quote:
It’s a tough place to be, having six hundred dollars to spend on a single video card. It’s rough, and if you’re there, may God have pity on your soul. You’re about to buy a GTX 280. Some of the glimmer has blown away; this is the fastest single-GPU card of all time, but HD 4000 is a whirlwind. It’s all value, though, and the best has and will always require a price premium. NVIDIA people won’t be dissuaded, and the GTX 280, despite competitive pressure, is selling well. A lot of work went into making this a new card, not a streamlined or overclocked G80 part. It’s beastly, costly, and if you’ve any doubts about buying this card, they’re warranted. Fortunately, you can know this: it’s powerful, and there probably won’t be anything like it for some time to come.

OCIA.net has posted their review of the Moneual Labs MonCaso 972 HTPC Chassis. Below is a direct quote from the review:
“We received the silver model but a black version is also available, if that would better fit your home theater system color scheme. The 7″ touchscreen immediately makes its presence known, taking up the entire center area of the front bezel. Just below the LCD screen is a spot for your optical drive. To the right, we have a bank of control buttons and a volume knob. On the left, we find a power button, HDD LED and IR sensor (more on all of these in a bit).“

Manufacturers are working hard to make these new PC cases look like traditional Home Theater equipment. The cases are built with anodized aluminum, come with authentic HT feet, and are adorned with volume knobs, media controls, stealthed DVD bays, and display readouts. One of the latest (and coolest) display readouts is a large LCD touchscreen that allows the user to operate the PC completely without a remote control.
The DH-102 Home Theater Case is Thermaltake’s flagship case that comes with a large 7″ touchscreen LCD, media controls and knobs, and is certainly worthy of being included in any elite home theater rack.

NEW CONTENT (Memory) - Corsair XMS3 DHX 1600MHz 4GB Memory Kit
QUOTE: “Well before NVIDIA had any plans for DDR3, EPP or Extreme Performance Profile DDR2 memory was making its way into the mainstream. These modules were really designed to work with 680i chipsets, since any AMD solutions have the memory controller moved to the CPU, this eliminated any offerings NVIDIA can give.
EPP has made its way into DDR3 with EPP 2.0; this being the DDR3 variation. Today we have Corsair’s monster 4GB DDR3 kit (2×2GB) supporting EPP 2.0. Let’s see how it copes.”

TechwareLabs has published a review of the Sans Digital MobileSTOR RAID Enclosure (MS2UTN+). Here’s a clip from the review:
Quote: Once again TWL embarks upon our quest for storage and speed only to come across the MobileSTOR RAID enclosure which promises both. The MobileSTOR RAID is the cheapest raid capable enclosure on the market with a slick design and good features. But all that glitters is not necessarily gold as Justin discovers in his tests. Read about what Justin liked and about the hidden dark side.

CPU3D Review: ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120 CPU Cooler
Today we take a look at the new kid on the block, the ZEROtherm Zen FZ120 CPU cooler. The Zen CPU cooler is built around tower design, and utilizes a clear 120mm fan for its cooling duties. The feature list is pretty expansive and among them is effective 8-line Heat pipe effect, honeycomb structure for optimized air flow, 120mm fan for max air-flow and PW (Automatic Fan Control).
“… Considering you can acquire this monster for only around $39.00 USD it becomes a real value. Big-time air cooling for people on a modest budget “
