Tired of your old, weak ear buds that came with your ipod? What something better? Why not the Shure’s SE110 sound isolating ear buds? These call it ear phones or ear buds, knockout all surrounding nose. No matter if it’s the mayhem in New York, or simply just your annoying little brother that won’t shut up, with these buds, you won’t hear a thing. Plus, these buds deliver some serious base!
But don’t get all excited to soon. For just about 100 bucks a pair, these SE110’s might be just a tad to pricey for you. And if so, why not go with a bit cheaper product called the V-Moda Bass Fregs, which might be a little closer to your spending limit at only $40. And these alternatives are still as good as the SE110’s, with outstanding base, and great sound quality.

The Turion 64 is redirected from AMD Turion and the named after its 64-bit low power processors codenamed K8L. They are Low voltage CPU mainly targeted for the mobiles and is based on Athlon 64’s architecture. The Turion 64 is the name for the series of two processors, Turion 64 “Lancaster” and Turion 64” Richmond”, which are compatible with AMD’s Socket 754. The processors in this series are boasted with 512 or 1024 KB of L2 cache, 64-bit single channel on-die memory controller and 800MHz HyperTransport bus. The great inherent PowerNow feature is very useful as it is best for minimising the power consumption and is the best choice for many kinds of Processors. This technology also helps in positive changes in CPU clock rate and voltage depending on CPU usage. These Processors are better than AMD’s previous processors like Athlon 64.

The Lancaster has 64 + 64 KB (data + instructions) L1 cache and 512 or 1024 KB L2 cache which offers full speed performance. The Lancaster is available in two main models, MT and ML. The MT processors again have sub models like MT-28, MT-30, MT-32, MT-34, MT-37 and MT-40 and consume less power of only 25W while the sub models like ML-28, ML-30, ML-30, ML-32, ML-34, ML-37, ML-40, ML-42 and ML-44 consumes more power of 35W. The Richmond comes with the 64 +64 KB L1 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache and also offers full speed performance. This model includes the sub models like MK-36 and MK-38 and consumes the power of 31W.

The Turion 64 is equipped with DDR single channel configuration, Socket 754 or S1 pinout and 1TB of RAM memory. This Turion 64 supports MMX, 3Dnow!, SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 instructions. These processors have EVP (Enhanced Virus Protection) Technology and are based on 90 nm manufacturing process.

The most anticipated Radeon R600 has finally been announced by ATI. The best known company for manufacturing the graphic cards, ATI, has developed this Graphics Processing Unit as member of Radeon HD 2000 series and the FireGL 2007 series video cards. The R600 is the very first GPU developed by ATI and is the second generation GPU with unified shader design. ATI has included HDMI interface with 5.1 audio playback supports in this processor and comes with Unified Video Decoder for hardware decoding for MPEG2, MPEG4 and VC-1 video streams.

This GPU is based on XENOS GPU and supports Direct3D 10’s Shader Model 4.0 along with OpenGL 2.0. The graphics processors comes with programmable tessellation units which allows simple, low-polygon model to be increased dramatically in polygon density in real-time with minimized performance loss. Fitted with 4 texture units, this processor is capable of filtering FP16 textures in full speed and is also capable of filtering trilinear and anisotropic texture formats. The meritorious inclusion in this model against the previous one are custom filter anti-aliasing (CFAA) mode which calculates the final color and anti-alias the image by shader processing. This model supports up to 8× multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA) using programmable sample grids

In 1985, four Chinese immigrants named Pak Hun Lau, Benny Lau, Lee Tia Lau and Kwok Yuen Ho combined formed a organisation to provide the world with technologies (mainly graphics related equipments) required for the PC’s which was named as Array Technologies Incorporated (ATI). They produced Graphics Processing Units, Motherboard chipset and Video display card (for IBM). Initially they marketed the 2D graphics chips to companies like Commodore. Till early 90s, they manufactured various 2D GUI accelerator cards that primarily targeted the Microsoft platforms. Later from May of 1991, they came in market with other chipsets like Mach8 (ATI’s first Windows accelerator product), Mach32 and Mach64.The EGA wonder and VGA wonder of 1987 released to PC market had also surpassed the IBM’s EGA and VGA.

With the Technological sophistication, the most wanted 3D acceleration hit the market in the middle 90s. The ATI developed 3D rage which is based heavily upon the Mach 64 but with limited 3D acceleration. In 1996, they came up with All-in-Wonder product series which is their 2^nd generation 3D Rage Ii which featured 3D acceleration. Enhancing its product, it established in the generation of 3D graphics by commercializing Radeon Line of Graphics products which supported DirectX 7 through DirectX 10. Moreover GPU’s, the ATI also designs embedded versions for laptops (called “Mobility Radeon”), PDA’s and Mobile phones(”Imageon”), integrated motherboards (”Radeon IGP”), Set top boxes (”Xilleon”) and other technology-based market segments.

In 2006, the ATI was combined with another company AMD which was later combinely named Graphics Products Group. ATI manufactured graphics chipsets till July of 2006.
