SLI Linux taboo broken

Hardware Roundup Gateway One won't dent iMac sales
Thu Sep 27 2007, 19:46

PCPERSPECTIVE came with yet another podcast, going in detail what is going on with now delayed Crysis, DDR3 memory, Ray-Tracing and other shenanigans from the world of hardware and software. Ryan was at IDF last week, so expect a lot of IDF-related newsbits inside.

ComputerShopper.com reviewed Gateway One. This all-in-one system from Gateway has some interesting features, but it can hardly expect that it will dent sales of Apple iMac.

Bit-Tech.net came up with a clash of two titans in DDR3 memory space, this time bell told about Kingston and OCZ. Kingston sent its KHX11000D3LLK2/2G modules, or the name just made for breaking a tongue, while OCZ sent its PC3-10666 in Platinum Edition.

BigBruin.com published a review of OCZ modules alone, but this time it was PC3-10666 Gold Edition, basically a pair of 1GB modules clocked at 1.33 GHz.

Elite Bastards reviewed Asus Xonar D2 sound card, first board to seriously challenge dominance of Creative X-Fi in the add-in board space.

Eventually, we found a review of Inno3D video card. This time, time came for 8600GT iChill, a factory overclocked board.

Oddly enough, we got news from Benchmark Reviews about a review of new product from Tagan. This time, it seems like every power supply manufacturer is entering the chassis space and vice versa, since Tagan's CS-EL Diablo Mid Tower ATX case ended up on a test bed.

Overclockers Club published a review of Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 + Turbo module. Long story short, this is a passive cooler for mid-range graphic cards with a dual-fan module that should cool down higher-end cards from mainstream segment.

Phoronix published an interesting article touching the subject of SLI under Linux. This subject was a taboo until recently, and now with new drivers things are looking rather different... or not.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
