Here we have two processing machines today. Two of the faster processors and better performance, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 and Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 .
extensive analysis and / or review of the Radeon HD 2600 XT and Radeon HD 2600 Pro (While waiting for the Series 3000) and comparative the Nvidia 8600GT and Nvidia 8600GTS. The advantages of ATI cards performance is acceptable and good prices (from 65 € to 100 € approx.)
Here you have the links to the extensive analysis.
A new technology is on the verge of widespread among consumers and, more specifically in laptops. The new SSD hard drives (SSDs) have no mechanical parts, unlike the current HDD hard disks if you have them. The characteristics of this type of hard drives and their advantages over the current are as follows:
reliability, with a rate of 2 million hours between failure (MTBF), approximately six times more than the disks notebook hard. Remember that they have no moving parts.
Yield: offers a sustained read rate of 67 MB per second and a read rate random of 7,000 inputs / outputs per second (IOPS) for a transfer of 512 bytes. Booting Windows faster than in the current notebook hard disks.
energy efficiency, with an estimated reduction in consumption of 50%, which comes in handy on laptops. Less
hot and quieter, another advantage for use in portable equipment.
Here you have a video showing the speed to boot Windows in two identical Notebooks, with the only difference that one has a hard disk HDD and the other a SSD hard drive. Comparison
