New Panasonic notebooks

Panasonic introduced two new notebooks. They are named Toughbook T4 and Toughbook W4. Both of them have chasis made from magnesium alloy, so they should really be tough. Both of them should work even in really extreme situations, they resist shock, dust and even water. (of course, only light shock, and cant be underwater week, but it is still good) Both of them are based on Centrino platform, so we can expect Pentium M, integrated graphics and wifi abilities. Both of those should ocupy high end market.

OCZ

Is spreading to Europe. They opened office in Nederland (but i cant found in which city) 14th november. ALso they are now talking with all distributors about selling their memories, which is good fot europe, because now their memories were pretty unavailable. Together with this comes also message, that they are starting supplying market with new types of memories, called Gold GX XTC and which esists in 1gb and 2gb Dual Channel kit. Timing with PC 3200 is 2-3-3-8 and with PC 4000 is 3-4-3-8. To hell, those should be extra fast dual channel memories? I have two no-name modules, and they are working PC 3200 with timing 2-2-2-5. That is what will i call fast memory!
