Printer prices have come down and they continue to come down year by year. Buying a top notch printer is not a big deal but the printing cost is something which makes you think twice before taking out prints which are especially darker and full of color like photos which require more ink. In offices where there is lots of printing required, cartridges finish off soon than you think. Printer Cartridges don’t come cheap and therefore some people go for refilling which can harm your printer. However there are some places on web like lasertechgroup.com website from where you can buy branded printer cartridges at lowest rates. Not only cartridges, you can also get Printer Toner at very good rates of leading brands like HP, Samsung and many more. They have good relations with these companies resulting in such lower prices of cartridges which cannot be matched with prices that you see on other shops. It’s good to buy from such good stores like lasertechgroup.com not only because you are getting lower prices but also you are sure of getting genuine printer cartridges which is very important. They also carry out Printer Cartridge Recycling which is very important otherwise empty cartridges when thrown away cause pollution so recycling is necessary.

Seagate’s latest batch of drives, the ironically titled Free Agent series are not compatible with the Open Source operating system Linux. The problem is to do with the power-saving systems of drives and the fact that it is shipped already formatted to NTFS. The NTFS is only a small problem to Linux users who have a kernel with NTFS writing enabled or can work mkfs. But the “power saving” timer is a real problem. There are a few work-arounds but Seagate Tech Support says they do not know what they are (how about consulting Maxtor guys LOL). All in all it’s confirmed that their latest drives do not support Linux.

ATI Radeon HD 3870 has a clock-lock at 862MHz for the GPU. The RV670 GPU has multiple power phases internally, and PowerPlay is activated all the time. When you overclock the GPU, the PLL VCO divider will over volt the card just enough to cause a lockdown. The upgraded video BIOS available here will allow you to unlock the full potential of the card. You could tinker with the card to clock the RV670 chip all the way to 900MHz, massive 123MHz faster than the default clock.

AMD Phenom 9700 (2.4 GHz) launch has been cancelled and only 9500 and 9600 will be available for now. Some technical problem has been found in 9700 which causes system to freeze at 100% load on both the cores. The Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) errata is an L3 protocol issue causing a system hang when running certain client workload applications independent of platform. AMD is immediately introducing updated BIOS which will correct the TLB errata.
