Install What You Need with Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 is Microsofts most full-featured server operating system yet, so it's ironic that one of its most exciting new features is an install option that cuts out most of the other features. Paul Rubens explores why a Server Core installation makes a great deal of sense in many instances.

Performance and Pizzazz: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum Enhanced Latency XTC Dual Channel Review- Page 1/7

Hazarding guesses about the future of computer technology is a precarious business, but we've already seen 2006 bearing out some of our earlier predictions. For example, we know AMD will move to DDR2 in a few short months -- since it's too late for them to gracefully back out of that commitment. Plans like these made it easier to foresee the expanded availability of DDR2-800 CAS4. Sure enough, with its finger on the pulse of enthusiasts, OCZ Technology has stepped up to satisfy growing, near-term demand with its PC2-6400 Enhanced Latency modules. These are, of course, already supported by the latest Pentium 4 chipsets.
Sporting CAS4 latencies at an impressive 800MHz data rate, can this 1GB kit offer the performance punch needed to please power users while still delivering value on the high-end?
Module Details and Overclocking:
OCZ's XTC modules employ a unique heatspreader designed to increase convectional airflow and surface area for improved heat dissipation. For those of the opinion that heatspreaders are meant purely for beautification, a platinum-plated honeycomb pattern indeed offers substantial "bling factor".
This Enhanced Latency version of OCZ'a PC2-6400 offers timings of 4-5-4-15 at 2.1v, a voltage level that reaches into overclocking territory. OCZ's warranty supports the use of up to 2.2v, but that doesn't seem much range for modules that require 2.1v from the outset.
