Samsung takes eco-friendly to the desktop with MV100 and MZ100
We know how much you just love eco-friendly desktop computers, so rejoice dear readers: Samsung, on a green kick lately with its free gadget recycling program and edible cellphones, is announcing two new desktops that, individually, consume just 60W of power when on and 1W when in suspend mode. Both the MV100 Tower (the wider one) and MZ100 Slim Tower (the, uh, slimmer one) run Intel's fairly fresh G43 chipset and come with your choice of GeForce 9500GS or 9600GT for graphics. Those are the only vital stats we have to pass on so far, though, and no word on when or if these two will be available outside of Korea.
MSI's new NVIDIA 9600GT card includes "turbo" button for overclocking
Whatever you do, don't push the red button. MSI has pimped out its new GeForce 9600 GT Diamond graphics card with dual DVI, dual HDMI, optical audio and a shiny red button. The button bumps the clock speed of the graphics core and the memory, as well as increasing voltage to world-destroying levels. Unfortunately you'll have to reach around the back of your dusty machine to click it, but we're sure 30 minutes and a soldering iron can re-route the button to this little doomsday-inspired puppy.
NVIDIA's GeForce 9600 GT card is officially the new budget hotness
It's been a long time coming, but it looks like the GPU industry finally figured out the fact that most consumers don't want to blow a couple grand on an SLI setup, they just want to play Crysis debt-free. The new GeForce 9600 GT from NVIDIA is an answer to those prayers, offering solid performance ratings nearly in line with last-gen's 8800 GT, at a completely lovable $199-and-under pricepoint. For now the top of the performance charts is still the 8800 Ultra -- as NVIDIA will readily admit -- but the 9600 GT is just the first of NVIDIA's GeForce 9 series, and while it's sure to be followed by bigger, badder and more expensive versions, it's refreshing to see the 9600 hitting the market first.
