I think they will release the new 8000 series in computex. Yesterday Intel did a late night launch of Hawsell in Japan, and had a booth set up in Akihabara, showcasing new motherboards and systems from Japanese pc builder. Two of these systems were provided with hd 8770, and they will be available for purchase @ mid-june. Thus I believe AMD would release new cards in computex.

I'm waiting to be impressed.

Sounds about the right price :)

- RAM Voltages
 
All the 'gritty' bits of RAM specs 

I'm not sure if this is the right section, if it's not, please move this.
 
 
 
Here's a tip for you all: take apart your laptop and replace the thermal interface material between the CPU (GPU) and the cooling solution. It will make your mobile life way better.
 
The right palm area of my Dell Vostro 3350 gets very hot, even when idling. When I checked my temps, I noticed that at idle the CPU sat at 50+ degrees celcius. I decided to fire up Prime95 and noticed that my CPU went to 100degrees before doing what seemed to be throttling. I fired up Aida64 and ran an FPU stress test. Sure enough: the CPU went to 100 degrees and then throttled 23% to save itself from going up in smoke.
 
Not happy with these temps, I decided to try to replace the thermal paste on my CPU. Because I have a Dell notebook, I was able to use Dell's service manual to take the thing apart without breaking it.

 
This is what I cam here for: motherboard and cooling solution...

 
When I took a look at the TIM in place right now I noticed two thing:
The TIM on the CPU was of low quality and had hardened to a complete solid. There was also waaaaaay too much of it on the CPU The TIM on the graphics solution consisted of thermal pads on the GPU and the VRAM. The thermal pad on the GPU was too thick and had actually hardened and was full of cracks (see image)
 
I decided to change everything to the thermal paste and pads that came with my EK GTX670 water block. First thing to do was cleaning the surface of CPU, GPU and cooling solution.

 
When I cleaned of the cooling solution, I noticed how brutally low the quality of the blocks was:

 
Finally, I applied new thermal paste and pads:

 
After that, I screwed the whole thing back together and ran the Aida64 FPU test again. Now, the max (peak) temps I can get are 81degrees Celcius. That means that a simple change of the standard TIM, I was able to achieve a temperature difference of OVER 20 DEGREES CELCIUS (yes, all caps!). This 'mod' didn't cost me a thing, except for two hours of time, which were will worth it!
 
Not only the max temps were lower, In idle the CPU runs about 3-5 degrees cooler than before, with the fan turning on a LOT less than before. Not only that, the palm rest feels quite a bit cooler as well (that might be partially subjective, though).
 
Overall, I can recommend this to everyone not afraid of opening up their notebooks.
 

I died laughing at this

Whose evil rivaled Satan's own

Some infinities can be larger than others i.e. the sum of all integers in an infinite series is larger than the largest number in that series.

well, actually some infinity (when not dealing with limits, limits don't make any difference between them) are bigger than others. While addictions and multiplication do not change the "value" of the limit" things like power can (or !∞, good luck with that xD).

I found this after perusing the Internets, I had bit of a giggle.
