Google Chrome OS Preview

SuperSite for Windows posted a preview on Google Chrome OS

A quote from the article:

Thursday's on campus announcement was the second major event Google held for its nascent Chrome OS, and while some have churlishly referred to the project as vaporware, let's not be silly: Chrome OS is real, and by just announcing that it's working on such a thing, Google has already changed the PC operating landscape and then some. The question, going forward, is how much more it will change things. I anticipate seeing Microsoft lower the pricing on its functionally-challenged Windows 7 Starter edition, for example. But if the software giant is serious about competing with Google, it will need to do the unthinkable and simply make Windows 7 Starter available to PC makers for free. It will go kicking and screaming into such a future. The only question is how long it takes.

Real Temp 3.46

Posted by: Tim Tibbetts [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

A temperature monitoring program designed for all Intel single Core, dual Core and quad Core processors.

Real Temp is a temperature monitoring program designed for all Intel single Core, Dual Core, Quad Core and Core i7 processors. Each core on these processors has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports temperature data relative to TJMax which is the safe maximum operating core temperature for the CPU. As your CPU heats up, your Distance to TJMax will decrease. If it reaches zero, your processor will start to thermal throttle or slow down so maximizing your distance away from TJMax will help your computer run at full speed and more reliably too.

Main Features
+ Reads temperature information from all Intel Core based processors. Pentium 4 processors are not supported.
+ Ability to individually calibrate Real Temp for each core of your CPU.
+ Program is based on temperature data gathered using a Fluke 62 IR Thermometer.
+ Test Sensors feature will check your DTS sensors for any sign of problems.
+ Keeps track of Minimum and Maximum temperatures with full logging features.
+ Reporting and logging of the Intel PROCHOT# thermal throttle activity bit.
+ Quick, very accurate and repeatable benchmark.
+ Displays MHz, TJMax, CPUID, APIC ID and Calibration settings.
+ High temperature alarm and shutdown feature based on CPU or Nvidia GPU temperature.
+ No installation or registry modifications required.
Support for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Windows 7 (32/64 bit)
