Že nekaj časa spremljam Android telefone na spletu vendar zares nisem imel opravka še z nobenim. Največ kar je, sem si ogledal na hitro kakšen prijateljev telefon. No, zadnje čase malo resneje premišljujem da bi si nabavil enega zase – se mi zdi, da je Android že kar uporaben...

Tomorrow I am talking about new features in C# 4.0 at NT Konferenca in Portorož, Slovenia and I’ll be there through all day. So if you want to hear what features were added to C# in its latest incarnation you are welcome to attend the presentation taking place in Emerald 1, 14:45 - 16:00. Later I’ll...

Here are the slides used in my Parallel programming in .net 4.0/Visual Studio 2010 presentation (Slovene language) on NT Konference 2009 . I hope you had good time during the presentation. Parallel Extensions.zip (283.15 kb)

I’ll be talking about parallel computing in Visual Studio 2010/.net 4.0 on both forthcoming “ Študent je car ” events in Maribor (9.4.) and Ljubljana (20.4.). See you there.

The last ingredient is the chassis. Likewise PSU it looks like you don’t need to be careful when picking one. Wrong. Chassis are very different and details are important. Let’s go by features in no significant order. Weight Cheaper chassis are mostly build from steel (at best the front cover is made...

First step in picking a proper motherboard is a chipset choice. But not with the Intel Core i7 as the only available chipset is Intel X58, like it or not. My next step is to pick a manufacturer I like. As for graphics card my choice goes to Gigabyte . Never had issues with their motherboards and they...

This one is a relatively easy choice. The main criteria for me is the silence. Fortunately there are passively cooled mid-range graphics cards out there based on the GPUs from both nVidia and ATI . They are not amazingly fast, but hey, one needs amazing speed only when playing games or for some really...

What to look for in a CPU? For me, I look for a good performance before anything else, yet it shouldn’t be too expensive. You have always watch for a performance bottleneck in a computer – it doesn’t help to have a fastest CPU on the world if other components are slower. In other words, I am looking...

Disks fail more often than one can imagine. Because my data is the most important part of my computer my main objective is data safety so I’ll go for RAID 1 – disk mirroring that guarantees data integrity even if one of the two disks fails. Heck, I wouldn’t even miss a working day in such case – I’d...

Core i7 requires DDR3 memory. The more cheaper and slower DDR2 isn’t an option. But beware that not every DDR3 memory is good for Core i7 . Oh no, they have to have a lower voltage than usual, that’s max 1.65V (1.5V recommended). Lookout for memory modules that are “build/optimized...

If you think that power supply unit (PSU) seems like a non-important piece of the computer think again. It is the heart of the computer as it delivers the blood to the brains and other parts. The blood in this context is the electricity of course. The PSU aspects that are important to me: the quality...

Somehow I’ve missed two important things to mention in the introduction : what will I use computer for and the budget. The computer is, of course, meant to be a development workstation that will replace my current aged Core 2 Duo E6600 based one. I’ll base my new computer on three pillars in this order...

Just finished the presentation about Parallel computing in Visual Studio 2010/.net 4.0 at TŠC Nova Gorica (a part of Microsoft’s event for students). Audience was cool and almost everything went well, except for VS2010CTP crash at very beginning. Not a big problem, one has to expect such problems running...

The most valuable aspects for my computer are performance and silence . The later means as less possible noise producing components and as silent moving parts as possible. The Core i7 920 comes usually in a boxed SKU which means that is comes with a stock cooler. This cooler usually isn’t meant...
