Western Digital has gained the honour of releasing the first two-terabyte drives in the market, with units turning up on Australian shelves.
Available as the 3GHz Phenom II X4 940 and the 2.8GHz Phenom II X4 920, these new quad-core CPUs are AMD's first 45nm desktop processors, and they finally bring AMD in line with Intel's 45nm manufacturing process, used in its Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core i7 chips.
Linux vendor Red Hat has updated its enterprise Linux version with features for big servers and some green improvements. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 includes virtualisation support for bigger systems and more memory architectures.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is preparing to fire a new engine for hot-rod PCs.
Ever since Anand Lal Shimpi described using SSD drives as the single most noticeable upgrade you can do to your computer, I've been looking for the right price point to follow his example and make the SSD move. But at what price?

Recent benchmarks of AMD's new 45nm Phenom II desktop CPUs reveal them to be very competitive when compared with Intel chips at similar prices, but is it enough to bring AMD back from the brink?
Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life.

Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.
Swelling the ranks of 11.6-inch netbooks, the Asus Eee PC 1101HA impresses with its design and battery, but having to overclock a slower version of Intel's Atom CPU is a dodgy workaround.
We compare Xeon 5500 (Nehalem) servers from Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lenovo and Sun Microsystems and pick a winner.
MSI's GT725 is a bleeding fast laptop. There's a number of design and software concerns, however, the price alone allows most of these to be forgiven. If you need a powerful desktop replacement, consider the GT725.
