Our last day at Computex revolved around covering loose ends, like memory, other chipsets, and the growing tide of ATI Crossfire boards. We arranged several meetings to put into perspective the show hits and the directions of a few companies that have been much in the news (and rumors) of recent months.
We apologize for the delays in this final coverage, but all five staff members who went to Taiwan with AnandTech brought home an unexpected present - the flu. Even Anand didn't escape the virus - he was first in Taiwan, caught it first, and was the first to recover. A fever and aching all over is no fun at all, particularly when it is 90 degrees outside. Everyone seems to be recovering, so we thought that you might enjoy our final farewell to Computex 2005 and a look at some directions that the show has charted for the next computer year.

Thanks, I see.So carbon is a good electrical insulator, but also a good thermal conductor.
Learn something new every day.

good news to hear that abit is out of troublebut what the hell is going on with their guru clock?
looks ugly as hell
the 5.25" one in an older article (with the bios nuke button) was nice but not this new external one

Correct about the diamonds.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond
However, such little carbon is really not going to affect the thermals of the system. Besides, even if it transfers heat well, there still has to be surface area of the heat to dissapate.

#6No. Carbon is an excellent conductor of heat. It's the reason why diamond is the best conductor of heat in the world - it is very densely-packed carbon..or something like that.

Wouldn't the carbon fibre act as an insulator?monsoon - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
well, personally i fancy the corsair led RAMs, but even MORE Important to me is the last pace MINI PC......i'm currently looking for a SILENT FANLESS PC; should be reasonably powered, can be a MINI PC, better if it has at least a 3 5'25" slots space so that i can put a 5 SATA bloc on it.
anybody able to give directions ?
=)
THANKS

500mhz@1w, windows ce... sounds awfully like the craptastic AMD PIC. Though I must admit, it looks a lot more interesting in a decent-looking boxryanv12 - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
that red foxconn mini-system is an eyesore.plewis00 - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
How comes even though the Geil RAM is running at DDR2-1066, it's still only through-putting 2896MB/s - pretty low isn't it for such fast RAM (I'm aware of the timings, but still)...Souka - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
