About every year or so, the software team at ATI, which is now a part of AMD, produces a Catalyst driver suite that introduces a handful of major new features, above and beyond their regular monthly release. And at least so far, for 2008, this new Catalyst v8.3 suite appears to be that major release. We’re sure ATI will have more in store as the year progresses, but for now there is plenty of new ground to cover. We were recently given a chance to chat with some folks from ATI about all of the new features they have in store for users with the Catalyst v8.3 release and we'll be outlining some of the finer details here today. In addition to the typical batch of performance enhancements and bug fixes available with each new Catalyst release, the v8.3 suite is going to deliver official support for three and four GPU CrossFireX and Hybrid CrossFire, plus some new anti-aliasing features, previously unavailable tweaks for video playback, and GPU LCD scaling, among some other things.

"This gives the competition ample warning to prepare for Intel's onslaught," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at In-Stat.

By Kurt Mackie 2/28/2008
AMD, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based CPU chipmaker, announced its collaboration efforts with Microsoft leading up to Microsoft's big launch yesterday. The launch signified a rollout preview of three of Microsoft's highly important enterprise tools: Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. I spoke with Margaret Lewis, AMD's director of commercial solutions and software strategy, before the Heroes Happen Here event in Los Angeles, one of the many Microsoft product launch sites. Lewis described AMD's efforts in enabling virtualization and other technologies in Microsoft's software launch products.

Welcome
OK Folks - I'm having Problems with my Main Host Provider so I am using Blogger as a backup for now. Although I may use it more often depending on how my situation changes. I will post Tech News just like i did on my main website. However once I get my Main page back in action this page will most likely become a clone for the most part. Maybe I'll change it up so stay tuned and bookmark this blog so you don't miss out. Thanks.
