If you somehow held off on buying a Core i7 rig as soon as they popped out last year, you're in luck -- and your poor Pentium II system is flat out of it. Just about everyone has updated their gaming desktop lines this week with an option to splurge on Intel's 3.33GHz (or more) Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor, and iBuyPower is no different. Said PC builder is now offering the chip within four of its Paladin desktops, and given that the stock clock speed is far too sluggish for your own greedy self, the Paladin XLC V3 ships in an overclocked configuration that promises a 30 percent boost in performance over the stock silicon. The rigs also ship with 6GB or 12GB of DDR3 memory, the latest and greatest ATI / NVIDIA graphics cards, an optional Blu-ray burner and a fresh copy of Windows 7. The lowest-end rig gets going at $2,159, while the aforesaid XLC V3 will set you back $4,409; the whole gang is available to customize as we speak.

Le partenariat entre HP et Vivienne Tam continue de plus belle. Du coup, c’est cette fois le Mini 210 de la firme qui se voit doté d’une coque “Butterfly Lovers” il faut bien l’avouer très réussie.

Bon, à côté de ça, le Mini 210 dispose d’un écran 10.1″ (résolution 1024×600 ou 1366×768 pixels), d’un processeur Intel Atom N450 ou N470, une Intel GMA 3150, d’un disque dur 250 ou 320Go, de 2Go de RAM DDR3, d’une batterie 3 ou 6 cellules, du WiFi, du Bluetooth (en option), d’un port Ethernet, de 3 ports USB, d’un port VGA, d’un lecteur de cartes mémoire 5-en-1 et de Windows 7 Home Premium.

Comptez 599.99$.

Le site bit-tech a testé de la mémoire à la norme DDR3 ne fonctionnant qu'à 1.25V là où la tension normale est de 1.65V. On connaissait la mémoire de Gskill qui fonctionnait à 1.35V (gamme eco), Kingston nous propose donc encore plus bas avec 1.25V et sa gamme LoVo.

En effet, ce constructeur me fait penser à cette chanson d'enfants. Mine de rien, cette marque qui à l'origine était d'entrée de gamme, a fait son bonhomme de chemin et propose de plus en plus de produits complets orientés haut de gamme. Preuve en est la série Extreme 3 aussi bien pour AMD et INTEL. La 890 GX Estreme 3 sera capable d'accueillir les Phenom II X6, supportera la ddr3 1800, intégrera une HD 4290 et disposera de LED indicatives sur le PCB. La X58 Extreme 3 supporte le 980X, peut accueillir de la ddr3 2000 et dispose également de LED indicative.

Les derniers PC “Paladin” orientés gamers d’iBUYPOWER, les F890, F950, F970 et XLC V3 sont tous propulsés par le nouveau processeur d’Intel, le Core i7-980X Extreme Edition.

Les Paladin F950, F970 et XLC V3 proposent 12Go de mémoire DDR3, avec au moins 1To de disque dur, un lecteur Blu-Ray, tandis que le F890 est lui équipé de 6Go de DDR3, ainsi que de 1To d’espace de stockage. Les F970 et XLC V3 embarquent également 80 de SSD (Solid State Drive) et Windows 7 Ultimate. Pour le reste, iBUYPOWER laisse le choix entre une carte graphique ATI Radeon ou une Nvidia GeForce HD avec la prise en charge DirectX 11, et propose un système de refroidissement liquide.

Les prix commencent à 2159$.
