News Pop! 12/21/06

It's been fun folks, but every week has its end and, in our case, Thursday is just that (during the winter at least). We hope you've enjoyed this week's editions of News Pop!. We leave you with today's edition, specifically devoted to upcoming PC hardware. Here's what to look forward to in the coming year, enjoy!

Vigor Gaming Computer, a developer of custom gaming rigs and high-end peripherals, will debut its Vigor Force Recon QX4 high performance gaming system, based on AMD's Quad FX4 dual socket CPU at the upcoming CES 2007. The Vigor Force Recon QX4 will be Vigor Gaming’s flagship system for “megatasking” enthusiasts, which allows users to run multiple, demanding applications and multi-threaded games. It will be shown with AMD at CES 2007, Booth:Central Plaza CP23, South 3 30368. The system is powered by a pair of dual core Athlon 64 FX-74 processors and uses AMD's new Quad FX platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC). Skipping past all the technical jargon though, simply put, the system will be one sweet rig. It will be able to host up to four PCI Express graphics cards, up to eight displays, twelve SATA drives and four Gigabit Ethernet connections (why a person needs more than two is beyond us). All in all, that means that the system will require a lot of juice. The base price of the Force Recon QX4 will run at $2,899 USD and comes with a three-year limited parts and labour warranty.

Not too hard to devote something to one specific topic when there's only one thing to talk about, is it? Hope you all have a good weekend. For those of you celebrating Chanukah, we hope it's been a good one, and for those of you about to celebrate Christmas, may it be merry. No matter what you celebrate though, have a happy holiday.
