1. 1- Intel's Core Processor Line Intel has struggled with its Pentium 4 architecture for years. AMD gained the performance advantage because of the long pipeline of the Pentium 4 restricting its performance and clock increases. Enter the new Core architecture. The new design is a radical departure from the Pentium 4 line and had more in common with the Pentium M. The new design provides amazing performance in a small die size that also has the added benefit of using less power and producing less heat than the older processors. This has allowed Intel to once again recapture its lead in the computer processor field. 2- Apple's Boot Camp The computer industry is all about choices but for many that meant only running Microsoft Windows. Apple's Macintosh product line has been around for years, but consumers could have difficulty using it when their work or school might be using Windows. When Apple released the new Intel based Mac product lines, it was only a matter of time before they were made to run Windows. After that was broken, Apple released its Boot Camp beta to the public to make it easy to run both Windows and Mac OS X on any of the new Intel Macs. Now consumers have the option of using both operating systems from a single computer! 3) Perpendicular Hard Drives Perpendicular does not refer to the orientation of the drive physically within the PC but to the orientation of the magnetic fields on the hard drive platters. This simple rotation of the magnetic fields allowed for a dramatic increase in the capacity of the hard drive sizes. While last year hard drives were topping out around 400GB in size, Seagate was able to introduce the new technology into its desktop drives and push 750GB into a single desktop drive. This technology is also benefiting notebook and portable electronics that use hard drives. 4) NVIDIA GeForce 8800 The GeForce 8000 series graphics processors are a major step forward in graphics in two ways. The most obvious is that they are the first graphics cards to support the Direct X 10 graphics engine in Vista, allowing fully native graphics for Vista's Aero interface. The lesser known is the change in the graphics processor architecture away from specialized processor to a series of unified processors that can be dynamically be assigned to geometry, vertex, physics or pixel operations. This gamble in design change paid off with some outstanding graphics performance even with Direct X 9 and OpenGL graphics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RoHS Directive Consumers in the US are probably not familiar with this law that affects Europe, but it does impact the computer industry as a whole. Computers have been notorious for using toxic metals and hazardous chemicals in their production. All this these materials end up in the environment when they are thrown away. This law puts caps on the amount of materials that can be found in all new electronics sold in Europe. The good news is that many of those goods are also sold in the US providing us with greener products as well.
2. yeeek! im not a computer geek but i have heard of some -cutting edge technology -nano technology(45nm) -Microsoft itself has a lot :direct x,win32,.net,com,......etc thats all i know
