We are back up and
running once more and our thanks to all
that have
contributed in
one way or the other in getting the new site
into place.
Since we closed down the 3D Professor
dot Com website and started afresh with
this new site, we did ask our viewers to
mail requesting the old review they
wanted to see. Many, many
requests have come forth for us to show
the old reviews online what we have
completed in the past on the Quadro's
and FireGL to name but a few.
Therefore to appease our faithful
following within the High-End community
have chosen a few of the most popular
reviews completed here and uploaded them
onto the site over on the
"OLD
REVIEWS" page so that you all may
draw direct comparisons when the new
Quadro's, FireGL cards ETC when they finally
arrive |

Two
months have passed and many e-mails have
been flooding in asking what has
happening here. As we stated

"In

reasons for delays in reviews as we do
work behind the scenes that is never
published".
This has been so recently. We will
ask of you all to be very patient, but
what is around the corner is extremely
good.
Though in keeping with the current vogue
scenario's of
"GREEN", today see's an
article which will have many wondering
how much can be saved from a simple cost
effective piece of software and
carefully chosen components.

Months ago we completed a very
comprehensive paper covering AMD's 6000+
CPU and Western Digitals 1TB discs.
The Green PC had finally made the news
in a shocking manner taking many readers
by surprise.

what of Intel and what can it show?
Could the savings be as good, or better?
With the gauntlet well thrown down by

Today has seen a flurry of releases from
the Memory Makers Corsair and Crucial.
MSI and the other card makers on their
new graphics cards.
The most interesting of all these
announcements has been the from the SPEC
organisation on a significant new
benchmark about to be released for the
professional workstation.
This is not just
incorporating workloads from the popular
SPECviewperf benchmark for 3D graphics,
as well as CPU workloads in areas such
as rendering, financial modelling,
computational fluid dynamics, scientific
computing, and video encoding.
Workloads will have the common
attributes of scalability, open source,
and portability across all major
workstation computing platforms.
One point we did note about this
important announcement from SPEC.
The lacking in support from both APPLE &
LEVONA within such a critical Benchmark
which will have major significant impact
within the corporate market place.

releases click here and see our

Akasa
launch noiseless CPU cooler powered by
Thermodynamic Technology
London—September 2007—Akasa
announced today the launch of Revo, a
totally new class of CPU cooler powered
by thermodynamic ‘bubble-pump’
technology. Revo promises noiseless
cooling and high thermal performance.
Bubble-pumps are liquid and gas, and are
highly efficient at transferring heat
(they have no moving parts).
“We saw the potential in this new
technology right away”, says Adrian
Young, Marketing Director of
Akasa
“It’s quieter than heatpipe coolers,
cooler than conventional heatsinks, and
easier to fit—and safer—than
watercoolers. This technology could
revolutionise CPU cooling”
