ABIT µGuru: a motherboard processor, details on the new technology ABIT Computer has recently introduced the completely hardware system monitoring and management solution – µGuru. Let´s find out its benefits and distinguish it from other solutions, as we now have all the materials necessary.
 The idea of µGuru is to install an additional processor onto a motherboard, say, ABIT AI7 (on the photo). To users µGuru offers an additional program combining tools and recommendations for boosting and optimizing system performance. Actually, being an integral part of the motherboard, µGuru provides information about its state for optimization purposes. Besides, µGuru combines the ABIT Engineered (ABIT EQ, ABIT FanEQ, ABIT OC Guru, ABIT FlashMenu, ABIT AudioEQ, and ABIT BlackBox) technologies in a single interface. And as managing features are implemented along with the separate processor, the CPU is offloaded to some extent. Now some words about µGuru technologies.
 
OC Guru: A Windows utility for adjusting operating voltages and CPU clock. Can store 3 BIOS profiles for specific applications like gaming, work, and music. ABIT EQ: A Windows utility for managing the current system state via adjusting fan speeds, (including Northbridge and OTES), temperature modes as well as operating clocks and voltages. Guarantees fatal overheating protection.
FlashMenu: automatic BIOS update tool.
SiS introduces USB2.0 controller for flash drives SiS introduced a new USB2.0 controller for flash drives, SiS150. It differs from similar solutions by higher throughput (18Mbps read and 13Mbps write), as well as smaller size. The controller is 0.18nm CMOS. SiS150 allows to work with 4Gb capacities, supports USB2.0/1.1 specs. The controller includes 8-bit 30MHz processor, RAM and ROM. As for other features, they include 1-bit ECC circuitry, write protect, disk partitioning, password protection, ZIP/USB emulation, etc.
Memorex ships modding accessories Memorex joined the ranks of mod makers. The newly created Memorex Modz division hadn´t reached PC cases yet, but started from small: glowing accessories. According to the press release, it´s only a beginning, and with time Memorex Modz will be developing serious PC performance boosters.
Initially Memorex Modz introduced 24 new modding products, including Modz Dual Cold Cathode Light Kit (Blue, $27.99), Modz Single Cold Cathode Light Kit (Blue, $18.99), Modz 3 to 4 Pin Wire Adapter ($2.99), Modz 80 mm Black Silent Ball-Bearing Fan ($13.99) and Modz 80 mm Glowing LED Ball-Bearing Fan ($10.99), along with Modz Cables ($7.99 to $16.99).
XGI Volari graphics supporting PCI-Express to arrive early 2004? We´ve repeatedly posted that XGI, together with partners, plans to launch shipments of its Volari solutions in late November – early December. However, there was AGP bus mentioned in all related messages. Today the Web brought rumours that XGI prepares to launch PCI-Express 16x models early in 2004. This is actually comparable with release dates of NVIDIA and ATI solutions. Well, these are interesting and bold messages, considering there were no AGP-based Volari products in test labs yet. I hope we´ll get to know more than XGI´s sample specs closer to the year-end. Source: Clubic
