Nvidia Corp. and ATI Technologies moved further ahead in the mobile graphics space, adapting their desktop graphics cores for use in notebook PCs.
Nvidia shifted its GeForceFX 5200 and 5600 cores into the mobile market, improving the video core while using new power-management techniques to reduce power consumption. ATI, meanwhile, is expected to announce its Mobiliity Radeon 9600.
Both of the Nvidia and ATI announcements capitalize on the sudden interest in notebook applications, prompted by the launches of the Intel Centrino and the AMD Athlon XP-M processors on Wednesday.
Nvidia has also succeeded into pushing its GeForceFX into the high-end and mainstream segments in both the desktop and notebook markets in just over 100 days.

Sudhian has posted a new article: Could Higher End Audio Equipment End the MP3 Conflict?
Dell Computer appears to be playing both sides in the mobile wireless arena, supporting both Intel's Centrino as well as new wireless options.

Intel's marketing program will foot part of the advertising bill for OEMs who design machines using all three of the Centrino components: the Banias processor, an Intel chipset, and the
PRO Wireless or 'Calexico" wireless component, which only supports 802.11b.

AMD will target users of Windows NT 4.0 with its 64bit Opteron processor, due for release on 22 April. The strategy highlights the diverse approaches of AMD, which is encouraging firms to make a gradual move from 32bit to 64bit worlds, and its larger rival Intel, which expects firms to make a sharper change because its 64bit Itanium processors slow the performance of 32bit applications.

The three technologies - Adaptive Forecasting, On-line Capacity Planning and Rapid Reconfiguration - are designed to predict sudden increases in workload and to respond by bringing on additional server capacity and dynamically reconfiguring DB2 database parameters.

There's a lot of news about Sun Microsystems, these days. A court has ordered Microsoft to include Sun's version of Java in Windows XP (although that ruling has been stayed pending a decision on Microsoft's appeal). Sun recently announced that 1 million developers have downloaded its 2-year-old peer-to-peer networking
software-dubbed JXTA (for the word juxtapose)-and that many applications are using the software. And the company's software strategy has been shifting, lately. Sun just unveiled its Project Orion strategy, which brings the company's software offerings together into one scheduled quarterly release of an integrated system with a uniform licensing policy. We discussed Sun's initiatives with CTO John Fowler, one of the key drivers behind technologies such as
Java and Solaris.
