That takes care the multimedia portion of this article, so now we'll take a look at some memory manufacturers and the products they had on display.
A-DATA
A-Data is the leading memory application provider in the world and dropped by to see us while bringing along some interesting products for us to review.
This unique item is the SD Duo card that converts to a USB 2.0 device. The unit will be available later this month in capacities from 128MB to 2GB.
The Info SD series allows you to input two unique characters and also tracks the remaining memory usage left on the card. A very handy feature for those of us who have numerous SD cards and have lost track of what is left on them.
The FP1 fingerprint disk allows for the data to be secured by, let's have a drum roll... your fingerprint! Scanning is done via the embedded sweep-type sensor. The USB 2.0 unit is available in capacities from 256MB to 4GB.
One of the more interesting products we noticed in the catalog of components that A-DATA brought with them is the VD1 USB 2.0 drive.

Too bad Geil's new enthusiast memory line is Black Dragon instead of Golden Dragon. I had some DDR Golden Dragon stuff, and it was awesome...very nice looking modules too.Skobbolop - Monday, June 12, 2006 - link
haha.. :D that's so typical. after i posted my comment i just wanted to give the compro USB tuner another shot. and after som tweaking and minor adjustment is actually is quite good. Not as good as a standard televison, but watchable.Sorry.
ps. i still get a lot of those products returned though.. i wonder why.

We found their latest products to be on par with others at the show. I think the latest update to the PVR2 software is what made the difference. After comparing the two releases, I can understand why some people would return the product. We were allowed to play with their Release 3 software and were quite impressed. We will have a couple of reviews of their products up in July.Skobbolop - Monday, June 12, 2006 - link
Well. I sell Compro products and i get alot of them returned. The customers are simply not satisfied with the quality. Don't know about the new products though.i've personally tried an analogue USB tuner for a short period of time and i can't say that i was impressed. That said, i've never really tried any other external tv tuner, so i wasn't quite sure what i was expecting when i tried the compro device.

I thought there was a limited timetable for moving to ddr3; but now there is one??does ddr3 just bring more bandwith improvements and lower power use at cost of latency again or is there more?

DDR3 allows higher clocks which will eventually equate into additional bandwidth although none of the mainstream processors are currently starved for bandwidth with DDR2. Some of the original product roadmaps from SIS and Intel showed DDR3 capable chipsets in Q4 of this year. It now appears these plans have slid to late Q1 / early Q2 of next year. DDR3 samples we noticed were at CAS7 settings, for DDR3, CAS5 will be considered very low latency.
