iMac QuadCore with Snow Leopard in 2009?

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Apple has decided not to release a new iMac in November and we know why. Indeed, it appears that the Cupertino firm is waiting quietly for the new QuadCore processors from Intel. In the program, we should find three types of processors: the Core 2 Quad Q8200, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 and Core 2 Quad Q9550 will be respectively clocked at 2.33 GHz (4 MB of level 2 cache), 2.66 GHz (6 MB of level 2 cache) and 2.83 GHz (12 MB of level 2 cache).

The release date of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has been advanced to the first quarter of 2009. So we thinked that the future iMac desktop will benefit from the latest version of Mac OS X.

Asus ROG CG6190: Gaming computer with a Core i7 processor

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Asus has just introduced its gaming computer with a Core i7 processor, the new Intel architecture. This desktop PC is called CG6190.

Two processors can fill the socket 1366 for the Core i7, one is basic processor and the other in Extreme Edition version. We don’t known how many gigabytes of storage this gaming computer will be equipped with the basic configuration. However, Asus states that the motherboard is capable of supporting up to 12 GB of RAM DDR3 scattered in over 6 locations.

It’s the same for the storage which can, however, be equipped with several hard drives and SSD to achieve the enormous capacity of 4 TB, or 4000 GB. Owned by the Republic of Gamers range of the manufacturer, this gaming computer obviously has a high-end graphics part. Like its other components, it’s not exactly clear between which Ati or nVidia models consumers can choose. Nevertheless, we can already be sure that the gaming computer will have the tri-SLI and CrossFire.

To run this computer, we need a good power supply. Asus therefore does not skimp on the quantity and throws 2000 Watts in the computer. No price announced…
