Freeverse has launched the war-based game Commander: Napoleon at War for the Mac, after being previously announced in January. The latest instalment in the Commander series is a high-level turn-based strategy game that provides the same gameplay mechanics as its predecessor, and takes place in the Napoleonic era. In addition to the mechanics, Napoleon at War offers several new features such as a m...
The Little Brother of NVidia GeForce 9400M
According to VR-Zone, NVidia will launch a new version of its popular GeForce 9400M.
This chips will be a cheaper version, with less features:
- Support for the DDR3 only
- 8 PCI Express lines instead of 20 for the GF 9400M, so one can not add a second GPU on the board.
- 4 SATA ports instead of 6.
- 1 analog and 2 digital display interfaces.
This chips will of course have a lower clock speed than the GF 9400M, so it will also drain less energy. We are currently thinking that this chip might already be in some Apple products, such as he Mac mini as it features 2 digital display interfaces (HDMI + DisplayPort) while the G9400M does not offer 2 digital interfaces. So it might have been developed for the Mac mini, and only becomes available for all PC integrators now.
In addition, we would not be surprised that Apple use such chip in future entry-level MacBook or iMac as it is pin compatible with the current GF 9400M while being cheaper and most probably not affecting seriously the video performance of such models.

OCZ Summit SSD Available by the end of April
OCZ is currently offering 3 types of SSD:
- Value: the entry level model, cheap model but based on JMicron controller known to be saturated easily by multiple requests due of the lack of memory cache.
- Apex: while based on the same JMicron controller, it uses 2 of them in a RAID 0 setting to provide higher performance level and avoid being affected to quickly by multiple requests.
- Vertex: more interesting model as they feature a controller with a large cache memory offering respectively around 200 MB/S and 160 MB/S in reading and writing modes..
OCZ will add a fourth types of SDD, becoming he flagship of hte company, the Summit series:
Those disks are in fact clones of the latest SSD announced by Samsung, offering transfer speed about 25% higher than the Vertex models: 250 MB/S and 200 MB/S in reading and writing mode respectively. This is a good news for customers. Indeed, if Samsung is present in several news about such products, its SSD are very difficult to find in shops, whereas OCZ products are quite popular in consumer electronics shops.
