That exciting eh?

Actually it was a huge day. I submitted the news article but Mike hasn't released it. I'm not sure why yet.

Catalyst 11.2: Tweaktown no likey.

Photofast pricing the 128GB for $200 looks promising for the next gen Marvell SSDs.

I couldn't download the 11.2 driver from Firefox but Chrome downloaded it no problems. It installed no problems once I got it downloaded. Working perfectly as far as I can tell.

I've been playing a lot of MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries since it's free.

Tons of SSD news in the last week, yesterday, and today.

Rumor mill is string up some really good stuff as well.

MechWarrior Haven't played that in ages.

Here's a Tom's Hardware Guide article about the OCZ Vertex 2 34nm vs 25nm also

Pretty big difference in I/O performance and major difference in uncompressible sequential write (like halved). But good to see that in the real world tests they were back and forth on which one was better.
