NVIDIA 3DTV enables you to connect a computer with a compatible NVIDIA GeForce graphics card to a 3D TV supporting HDMI 1.4 and 1080p24, 720p60, and 720p50 3D formats.

Currently the supported games are the following: World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Avatar: The Game.

Many enthusiasts have expected the single-GPU GTX 480 to be retailing for around £550 in the UK, but amazingly it turns out it may be closer to £400. A saving we’re surely not going to complain about.

However, high demand may mean retailers push the margins up on the card, although NVIDA’s suggested retail tag should equal around £400 inc VAT. In the following few months a dual GPU card is rumoured, which will obviously be more expensive.

The TV set measures a small 15″ and is named the 15EL9500. Following suit to many OLED displays, the new LG screen measures a minuscule 3mm in thickness! Even though this screen maybe small, in true LG standard, it’s design is sleek and sexy – I’m sure you’ll agree from the photos below.

The Atom N450, which is a Pine Trail CPU, is considered by many as being “too large and power hungry” to be implemented as a replacement for the Z5xx processors. Instead, rumour is spreading that the new “Oak Trail” chips will utilize a modified architecture of Intel’s Moorestown CPU’s.

Intel’s Moorestown, a future CPU design, is a complete Soc (System-On-A-Chip) processor which is specifically designed for Smartphones and optimized for Linux mobile computing platforms such as Moblin and MeeGo. These chips reportedly won’t be capable of running Windows. However, if the unconfirmed rumour is true, the Oak Trail processors will be a SoC design similar to Moorestown which will be capable of running Windows.

The Radeon HD 5830 will boast 1280 stream processors, a 750MHz core speed, and 1GB of GDDR5 running at 4000MHz. Price wise, many online retailers are already listing it with prices ranging typically from £70 – £80.

Unfortunately, the present AVP bundles are only available in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. However, other European markets should start receiving them soon.

Users with a valid AVP bundle SKU will need to download the game using Steam. More information on this can be found here.

According to The Wall Street Journal , executives from HP intend to “tweak prices and features” on the Slate which is soon to be released. The HP Slate will boast a 3G data connection and is anticipated to be cheaper than the starting price of $629 for Apple’s 16GB 3G iPad. This isn’t the only bad news for Apple though, as Monopoly Microsoft have a tablet PC in development which is much more innovative with it utilizing two full colour screens enabling it to fold together like a book, this will also be cheaper.

So as it stands, the iPad which we once thought was going to be a revolutionary piece of tech a few months ago is now turning into an ‘Apple Newton’ scenario which will likely fail in response to offerings from competitors. Sources inside Apple tell us that the company’s response to this rivalry is to either reduce the price of the iPad or to release a higher spec machine. This can only be good news for consumers.

To create the video, ATI had a monkey trained to install a video card by watching various videos. Eventually the monkey was let loose and attempted the process on her own. There were a few strength issues in seating the card, but by the end of it the Monkey managed to complete the entire process, which proves a point, a monkey really can do it.

The juice we’ve been told from our sources suggest that the 27” iMac uses either the fruity 4670 or 4850, based on the system specification. The actual problem we’ve been told are screens flickering and an obvious yellow hue. However, there has also been known breakages of the cards too.

The known problems have meant Apple’s techies are working hard to cut right down to the core of the problem. This has meant Apple has put a two-week hold on shipping any additional iMac.

In order to maximise sales revenue in the busy Christmas period, the big A is still accepting orders for the 27-inch version. However, according to official Apple retailers, they say it’s unlikely any order would arrive before the New Year.

The unfortunate user’s who already have a 27” version and who are experiencing the problem should keep their eyes peeled on Apple’s site. We expect in the following weeks for some bulletin to be posted on the site with a fix.

Currently the actual overclock is unfortunately unknown, but there’s been some recent speculation that the 5870 Black Edition should entail more than just a marginal OC.

XFX are rumoured to still be deciding on which cooler to be used with the video card. It could be the stock cooler… it could be a custom one. What is clear though is that the XFX Radeon HD 5870 BE will be faster than the reference 5870 and will be styled in Black – just like the name suggests.
