Go BLACK & save Energy..!!

OK OK jokes apart...
Recently we witnessed the EARTH HOUR & we are constantly being said to save energy to meet the future energy crisis...
So here's a initiative taken by heapmedia to change the colour of the search engine BLACKLE to BLACK(probably you must have guessed by the name!!) whose searches are powered by GOOGLE...
Researchers have proved that a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen."

So make blackle as your default webpage!! This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts!!

At time of writing of this post BLACKLE had saved 1,160,243.386 Watt hours!!!

Here comes MY new LAPPIE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally the wait has ended..... My new N.R.I lappie lands in INDIA....(from U.S :) )

Special thanks to my sis Anu didi who made this possible :)...

Finally i will get more space on my study table to study n concentrate more!!! :p

Pendrive Linux...!!

Gone are the days when you have to create multiple drives & use your precious hard drive space to store extra operating system(s).
Now you can Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick.!!
This portable Linux operating system can then be run from any computer that can boot from a flash device, allowing you to bring your operating system, desktop, applications, files, email, personal settings, favorites, games and more with you. It’s your own personal operating system you can carry in your pocket.!!
So carry your personal data with your personal O.S with you anytime..!!!!
Further details can be found at pendrivelinux.com........

The name's Bond only Bond...!!!

The Search for next BOND GIRL.....

Every renowned actress have a dream to be the "Bond Girl"...
"To be a Bond girl you need courage, charm, determination and feistiness," the Mirror quoted the previous bond girl -Olga Kurylenko as saying.

Different names have been considered for this role...names worth mentioning are:
1>Jennifer Aniston
2>Frieda Pinto -Slumdog Millionaire beauty
3>Cheryl Cole
4>Megan Fox
5>Priyanka Chopra- "Yes thats true!!"

So all the Bond fans...hope that the best gets selected for the 23rd bond flick..!!
My personal choice is miss FOX..what do you say???!!!

Reservations In DA-IICT...????

The buzz in town is that the reservation stakes are going to be increased from this year onwards.

Should, DAIICT being a private institute,be influenced by the government policies??
DAIICT is only one of the few "private colleges" which had to keep seats reserved for students belonging to a particular state.
There have been many rumours that the quality of present year is not upto the mark as the previous years, but the other side of coin is that- many are thinking there will be more companies from gujarat for the placements. But we can't say more about this at present time.
What do you say?? Share your valuable comments....

DDR2 vs DDR3: The Battle of Latency vs. Bandwidth

Hmm... So here's my first blog!!!

This is an article about the new DDR3 motherboard, and DDR3 memory module - but before beginning , let's take a quick look at how we got here...

In the beginning, there was static ram - and it was good - however each bit of memory needed six transistors, limiting how many bits could be implemented on a chip, and they thus dynamic ram was invented. Dynamic ram only needed a single transistor and a single capacitor for each bit, so it could be a lot denser - packing around three times as many bits per square millimeter as static ram.

Dynamic ram then lead to double data rate dynamic ram. Eventually, DDR evolved to DDR2 - then war broke out... fought on two great battlefields. They were upon the fields of Latency and the oceans of Bandwidth.

Initially, DDR had vastly better latency than DDR2, and was not very far behind on bandwidth. It looked like DDR2 might lose the war.

But wait, As processes were improved, DDR2 was able to reach greater heights in the all mighty MegaHertz ranks. DDR2-667's were able to hold their own against DDR-400. DDR2-800 started to take the lead... and then DDR2 low latency memories started to appear. The once strong DDR began to falter.

Now, the reign of DDR2 has a challenger. DDR3 - and we get a stong sense of Deja Vu (or is our memory playing tricks on us again?).

And that brings us to today. What we have now is DDR3 boasting higher Megahertz ratings than DDR2 - but at the expense of increased latency. The familiar struggle continues, about the importance of balancing latency and higher frequencies to achieve overall maximum performance. Let's see how early DDR3 modules manage this balance.

DDR2 and DDR3 are both memory technologies that attempt to provide computers with high bandwidth memory.

As manufacturers have pushed DDR2 well beyond its originally intended PC2-6400 (800MHz effective data rate) and since there does not appear to be any letup in the "need for speed", memory manufacturers have started making DDR3 devices in order to far surpass the bandwidth they can easily get from DDR2 devices - and reduce power consumption and heat generation at the same time.

As DDR2 frequencies went up, so did the voltages required to perform at the higher data rates - and of course this caused ever more heat to be generated. Heatspreaders became heat sinks... then came optional fans... and some manufacturers went so far as to mount water blocks on the DIMM's!Now that DDR3's run at lower voltages - they generate less heat.

This was my first post so i have taken references from some sites..(to kick a good start ;-))
