The 790i Ultra is already a great motherboard by it’self, but when XFX snatched it up and put it’s evil plan to work, you officially get the XFX 790i Ultra.

Η Nvidia παραδέχτηκε σε forum υποστήριξης πελατών της, ότι υπάρχει πρόβλημα στο τελευταίο chipset της για επεργαστές Intel, τo 790i. Συγκεκριμένα αν ο χρήστης υπερχρονίσει το FSB του επεξεργαστή και ταυτόχρονα το memory-clock, υπάρχει πιθανότητα να αλλοιωθούν δεδομένα στους σκληρούς δίσκους.

Οι κάτοχοι MB με το συγκεκριμένο chipset προσοχή λοιπόν.

NVIDIA yeni bir high-end anakart hazırlıyor, adı NVIDIA 790i Ultra SLI. Intel’in X38′den X48′e geçiş yapması gibi düşünürsek, NVIDIA 790İ Ultra SLI, 790i SLI’den daha fazla overclock yeteneği olan bileşenler barındırıyor.

Aslında 790İ Ultra SLI, 790İ SLI’ya birebir benziyor ancak tek farklı seçilmiş çipsetler kullanarak overclock potansiyelini arttırması. Bunun maliteyete’de yansıması 100$dan fazla gibi görünüyor.

790i Ultra SLI aynı zamanda EPP2 hafıza teknolojisini destekliyor ki bu teknoloji DDR3 için tasarlanan bir teknoloji. Aynen EEP’nin DDR2 için tasarlanması gibi.

Bu anakart NVIDIA 790İ SLI’den sonra piyasaya sürülecek. Fiyat ve lansman tarihi konusunda ise net bir bilgi yok.

I made a three day trip to Kerala last weekend and it was amazing…for more reasons than one. We didn’t get any train tickets and therefore had to settle for a private bus. It was an a/c volvo. I was unimpressed by the way it was maitained particularly when compared to KSTRC volvos which are surprsingly well maintained. Hm..something is wrong here. A private company fucks up it’s maintainance of buses while the state owned buses are neat and well maintained. Usually it’s the other way round. Anyway, We go to Kochi after a 12 hour bumpy ride and I could not get a wink of sleep…for more reasons than one, bad seats, uncomfortable position, mosquitos, etc. We stayed at hotel on M.G road in Kochi which was quite decent and I believe reasonably priced. We went to nearby water falls the name of which I cant quite remember but I think it is Athirampally. It was quite a whoa moment. But I could not quite enjoy it because my head felt like it was going to split any moment(lack of sleep, too tired??). Anyway was quite nice and it was also a minitrek too when we went near the bottom of water falls. we spent around 3 hours and by the time we were back to kochi we were very tired. We had planned to visit an elephant training centre on the way but dropped it for we were just too tired.

The next day was the best day of the three days. A full day exploring the famed backwaters. Morning it was on a boat house, it was breathtaking. It also rained lightly. Nothing stormy or anything, a nice peaceful drizzle. It was magical. You have got see and experience it to know how beautiful it can be. I felt one with nature. Ofcourse I had loads of fun with my friends too but I managed to steal a few moments for myself and enjoy the blissful peace and quiet of nature.

The third day was so so. We went around Kochi town visited something called a Dutch palace and Chinese fishing net. Not impressed by the former and slightly impressed by the latter. We went to the the elephant training centre that we missed on the first day. Nothin quite impressive. But if you like to see elephants it is worth paying a visit.

That was it. We came back to Bangalore the next morning. Again it’s not particularly pleasant thing to sit in rickety-rackety bus with mosquitos. But it was worth it. I had a good time. Love to go again.

So i finally got my k790i. it has a extremely decent camera for a mobile phone. nothing special in that. i had read all the reviews. but here’s the surprising bonus. it plays music extremely well. better than my ipod i think. is it because of the headphones? i know ipod comes with mediocre headphones. but then i do not think the headphones on the k790i are top of the notch either. yet it sounds much better than my ipod(ofcourse mine is the ipod with video generation, i wonder if ipod touch has much better sound quality???). i will soon post some images from my k790i.

the thing i dont like about it is the joy stick. hurts your finger a little bit. but overall i am very satisfied with it. nice phone.

i paid 15k (rupees) for it with a 1gb memory card. worth it, totally.

ok so i am getting an incredible urge to buy a new phone. and i want these two features in it

1) a good music player

2) a good camera.

i have narrowed my choice to sony erisson 790i or 810i. 790i seems perfect with a 3 MP camera and a real flash. i have read good reviews and personal opinions on 790i. the catch is it does not have a “megabass”. now i dont really know what a megabass does or is it absolutely neccessary for good quality music. the 810i on the other hand has megabass but unfortunately only a 2 MP camera. so my choice would be 790i unless i know for sure this megabass is some kind of kickass technology that can deliver absafuckinglutely great music. what the heck is that megabass? why cant sony put that in 790i too? why have they made a seemingly perfect phone lack this feature? would it have cost them a lot put that thing in 790i? or is it just a marketing technique? like they believe soembody is dumb enuf to buy one phone for great music and the other one for it’s camera.
