Weekly Gobble This week at Phoronix we have published a fair amount of articles. Starting off, we had a look at OCZ Technology's OCZ DDR 2 PC2-4200 1GB Gold GX XTC, after we had looked at the OCZ EL PC-4000 2GB Gold GX XTC at the start of the new year. We had also finally shared our findings on the PC Partner RC410MS7-A82C. Although the article will tell the entire story, the notice attached to the article shares an insight on what to expect. The PC Partner motherboard had originally entered our facilities this past December, and upon our completion they had requested holding the article for a period of approximately two weeks, to allow their engineers time to investigate the issues that we had discovered with their LGA-775 motherboard. Coincidently, during this time, PC Partner is claiming a new company policy for 2006, and with this latest strategy they will be pulling many of their products from the United States market and surrounding mass segments. Thus the PC Partner RC410MS7-A82C will be available in very limited quantities and in isolated areas of the world. However, they will market the motherboard to their various OEM partners. With that said, the intent of this article is to display the ATI RC410 + SB450 performance under Linux, as well as related results on competing Chipsets, AND the motherboard will not be available for retail purchase under the PC Partner brand. Most recently, today, we offered up our review of the Realm Systems BlackDog 512MB. The BlackDog is presently the world's smallest Linux server, and depends upon the keyboard, mouse, and display of any computer running Microsoft Windows or Linux in order to interface with the device. Once more practical applications are unleashed, thanks in part to Project Black Dog, its popularity is likely to increase. On the software side of the things for this week, we offered screenshots from IndLinux Rangoli v1.0 BETA, Nonux v2.2, and Mozilla Thunderbird v1.5. Look forward to yet another exciting several days this coming week. ATI users for both Linux and Windows may have noticed the lack of any new display drivers for the second week of January, however, they are likely to come out before you know it :) Posted by Michael Larabel on January, 15 2006 |
