AMD announces small form factor solutions
According to our source, AMD has put the finishing touches on its DTX specifications. DTX, which is an open standard, will allow AMD to enable the development of small form factor (SSF) PCs.
| Industry partners including Albatron Technology, Asustek Computer, Cooler Master, Elitegroup Computer System (ECS), Gigabyte Technology, Micro-Star International (MSI), Silverstone Technology, and Thermaltake Technology are demonstrating functional DTX demonstration platforms at AMD's booth at Computex with the intent to deliver systems later in 2007, noted AMD. With the release of these final guidelines, AMD is helping to empower the PC industry to develop open platforms and components with an emphasis on cost efficiency, system options and backward-compatibility, added AMD. Energy-efficient processors from AMD not only enable differentiated solutions, but are extremely conducive to developing smaller and sleeker form factors that take up less space and are designed to operate quietly. SFF PCs can also help cut down on energy consumed and have less impact on the environment than traditional PC form factors. Benefiting both consumers and businesses of all sizes, energy-efficient AMD Athlon X2 processors enable system designs that are capable of reduced noise and heat emissions with extended longevity, for a quieter and more pleasant computing experience in offices and homes. AMD's new line of energy-efficient 45-watt processors is particularly well suited for standardized small form factors, including those adhering to the DTX specification, according to AMD. |
Further, the new energy efficient processors based upon AMD's 65nm technology - the AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processor BE-2350 and AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processor BE-2300 are reportedly available.

alternatively, any of the above methods are also an option.
and btw, tim already smokes (naughty boy)
Yeah might go to the doctors when my tablets run out. It gets expensive when you add it all up. Maybe ill just have to become even more of a css addict and stay inside :(
You can get devices which you put up your nose which use electricity to paralyze the receptors for like a day (reusable of course) or this stuff which works the same way as vaseline in your nose does except it has a static charge so is more effective.
Edit: oops just read Equk's post lol

It's called medinose and is meant to work, uses some sort of infra-red technology or something :)
Medinose heralds a breakthrough in the way hayfever and allergies are treated. Using photo therapy (light therapy) medinose can practically eliminate allergic symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, watery eyes, and headaches within a couple of weeks of use.
Each treatment session with the Medinose takes just approx. 4.5 minutes 2-3 times a day. The Medinose can be used anywhere: at home, on the move or at work. With severe symptoms, treatment can be repeated several times without any side effects. As soon as the symptoms subside, the number of treatments can be reduced. The Medinose is, however, also suitable for prevention.
I've seen the newer version on ebay for £48 or something, still a lot of money to pay. Might save that much in a year of paying for allergy tablets tho.
edit: found it on ebay for £48 incl delivery from medinose_uk

n1 :)
might look into getting one, altho my hayfever hasn't been that bad this year.
I knew someone in school who was allergic to something like 80% of the different pollens :( he had some sort of test at the doctors to see what kind of pollen effected him as he was unable to take any drugs for it.

Travelling home from work on an air conditioned train is surprisingly the best relief I get.
If my sinuses get blocked up, I sometimes put a small bit of the very hot chilli sauce on my food for a couple of weeks and find that this is much kinder than sprays/tablets.
