Concord offers FB-DIMM modules with a promised 6.4 GB/s throughput.

Canadian memory outfit Concord Idea gave us a sneak peak at their new FB-DIMM modules at Computex. Designed for use in mission critical servers and performance workstations, Concerned tells us that their new SyncMAX modules can provide a high-speed data transfer rate with 533, 667 or 800 Mb/s DDR2 components, with a throughput peak of a whopping 6.4 GB/s. The Advanced Memory Buffered (AMB) chip on FB-DIMM modules is the key to the performance enhancements we are being promised. The chip acts as a repeater between the memory controller and the next module in the channel enabling a high-speed serial point-to-point communication. The bi-directional serial interface sends and receives data simultaneously, eliminating read-to-write latencies compared to conventional memory. Reliability is enhanced with reduced pin count design (69 versus 240 for conventional memory) and the AMB chip"s built-in error checking and correction function. Finally, capacity barriers are broken with the availability of 6 channels with 8 DIMMs each, for a total capacity of 192 GB per memory controller. The SyncMAX Fully-Buffered DIMM will be available in the 2nd half of 2006 if all goes to plan, with a target list price of $99/$184 for the 512M/1G-533 MHz and $119/$239 512M/1G-667 MHz.

Graphics Wars: The Big Summer Battle.
Analyst Opinion - Part of what makes this year somewhat different in graphics is that Intel has indicated that is now serious about graphics. Intel has been talking a lot about its upcoming graphics technology called Larrabee that it promises will surpass the best that both AMD/ATI and Nvidia will have on the market in two years. Having been down this path before, describing my feelings as a little skeptical would be an understatement. But Intel is a very capable company and it is executing very well at the moment. However, the first reviews of Intelò€™s new integrated part are available and, unfortunately, reality isnò€™t in line with expectations.

Internet adds 1.4 million new sites in February.
According to a report released by Netcraft, the Internet continued its rapid pace of growing domains in February. The firm said that it was able to track responses from 77,568,868 sites in early February, which represents a growth of about 1.38 million sites within the past month. However, much of the growth apparently comes from an increased activity to "park" domains for simple reasons of advertising revenues or resale: Netcraft reported that it found a total of 2.8 million new hostnames, while additional active sites were estimated at just 237,000.
