Computex Round-up: Part 1

The popular tradeshow known as Computex takes place in Taipei each year, and is always interesting to follow. Techgage did not attend this year, but we will be relaying all of the information that hits our inboxes during the event.

Many tech sites have written up introductions to the show and also first-looks, such as techPowerUp!, Madbox PC, Phoronix and HotHardware.

HotHardware is gung ho on publishing content and has looks at ASUS Crosslinx, MSI Dual-Radeon HD 2600 and more. Our Aussie friends at TweakTown have also published a slew of content. A-Data gets funky with water-cooled ram, beat a wanker and win $100,000, Team Groups 2000MHz DDR3, AMD RD790 was on display and a C2D at 5.44GHz with LN2.

You only care about the women, you say? No worries, Phoronix has got you covered!

techPowerUp! rounds up our coverage with looks at PQI and MACS & Casetek.

We won’t post all of the press releases we receive simply because most websites will post more in-depth about the content provided. Such as DailyTech who takes a look at Intel X38 boards, including the ASUS P5E3 WS. Upset because you just bought a P35 board? Get over it holmes!

OCZ also passes along word that they have a few interesting products on display, including a thumb drive… that’s Firewire based! The benefits there would be obvious, and I am surprised it has taken this long for someone to come along with that idea. They are also showing off their Neural Impulse Actuator and HydroJet again, which I can’t wait to see in person and use. This is their first trade show after acquiring PCP&Cooling, so they have quite a presence this year.

The first Computex day was busy, as you can see. We will post similar reports each day until the conference concludes. Stay tuned.
