More on Solid State Disk Technology
Added on: 01 Jun 2008

Description: We've seen a lot of interest from (more...) customers in solid state disk (SSD) technology. Ryan at Engadget does a pretty good job of summarizing why someone would want an SSD drive in their recent post about Samsung's new 64GB product. Not long after IdeaStorm user tablet205 submitted the Solid State Drives as option in Notebooks, we started offering them in a couple of Latitude notebooks in May. Since then, we've expanded the option to more Latitude notebooks, all of our mobile workstations, and some of our high-end XPS notebooks on the consumer side, like the XPS M1330 and the XPS M1730. Though SSD drives bring lots of benefits, traditional hard drives aren't going anywhere anytime soon. At this point, one of the downsides of SSD drives is price - they are still pretty expensive. But, like most new technologies, the price should come down over time as the technology becomes more mainstream. Enough from me though - let me introduce you to someone who's an expert: Tom Pratt is the storage technologist on the Office of the CTO team. In this vlog, Tom gives a good overview of the technology from where it's been to where it's heading - hint: new form factors. (less)
Flash Tutorial - how to build Photo Viewer Part 4
Added on: 23 Oct 2007
Tags:
Description: Learn the final steps in creating the (more...) photo viewer movie that is part of their FMB (Flash Multimedia Browser.) During this lesson, review the progress they have made on their project so far in its development. They then learn about the scripting that must be added to make the photo viewer to make it into a finished product. At the end of the lesson, start to learn how to add a 'fader' so each image will fade in rather then appear once they are clicked on. This aspect of the photo viewer will be explored as a later time when given a chance to enhance their current version of their photo viewer (less)
XPS 630: Gaming Power for the Masses
Added on: 01 Jun 2008
Tags: DellXPS(more...)Gaming(less)
Description: I warned you. Today, customers in the (more...) United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and Japan can order the XPS 630. It's a gaming desktop meant to pack a lot of power into a smaller chassis. Granted, smaller is a relative term - it's smaller compared to the XPS 720: the XPS 630 has a starting weight of about 39 pounds compared to almost 48 pounds for its larger cousin. The goal behind the XPS 630 was to provide great performance and expandability at a reasonable price point. We call it a mainstream gaming system. It supports many of the same high-end options that the XPS 720 does, with a starting price of $1,249. That's where the mainstream part comes from. The Dell folks I talked to were pretty excited about the XPS 630, and based on early awards from CNET, PC Magazine and HotHardware, I'm glad to see they're not alone. But enough about that, let's jump into the more technical details. By popular demand, the XPS 630 utilizes a motherboard based on the popular ATX form factor. It's based on a Dell implementation of NVIDIA's 650i chipset, is the first OEM system to support NVIDIA's new Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) and all units will come with a 750W power supply. It also supports Intel processors (initially we'll support the quad-core Q6600 processor and the and Core 2 Extreme QX 6850, with more coming soon) and several graphics card options from both ATI and NVIDIA. We'll offer certain dual graphics card options in Crossfire mode or SLI mode, depending on whether you prefer ATI or NVIDIA. In terms of memory, we also support Corsair DDR2 Dominator 800MHz Enhanced Performance Profile (EPP) modules that can be overclocked to1066MHz. For folks that want to take performance a step further, you will have the opportunity to overclock the parts of the system through the system BIOS and software like NVIDIA's nTune application, much like the XPS 720 today. Unlike the XPS 720, however, we will not ship the XPS 630 overclocked from the factory. Because there's a lot more to discuss on that front, we'll blog about overclocking soon. And look for an overclocking vlog in the not-too-distant future. In this vlog, I interview Lee Kinder from the XPS Desktop Team about the system overall. He also discusses design elements, talks specs, hardware and OS options, overclocking and more. (less)
