My new Intel DG965WH Motherboard with 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem

Aakash — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 17:04:27 +0000

Few weeks ago, I bought new DG965WH (Media series) Intel Motherboard. It’s an ultimate piece when power, performance and media are taken in account. I’m not listing the full specification but you can find them here. The most tempting is its 7.1 Audio Output support. I’ve been using a number of Intel motherboards, i.e. 810e, 845, 945 GNT, 965 RY. I can comfortably say this have the best audio output quality with Dolby Home Theater certification and based on Intel® Viiv™ technology.

Intel DG965WH Motherboard (Media Series)

Yes, one this to note here is that this motherboard doesn’t support Windows 2003 server Ent. Ed. It’s mean some of driver may fail to install with this OS. Like in my case I am not able to install display driver.

The message that you need to send can be differ, it depends on the model of your mobile. For some model it is

My new Gadget – Nokia N 73 Music Edition Mobile Phone

Aakash — Mon, 21 May 2007 16:42:42 +0000

Yesterday, I Bought a Nokia N-73 (Music Edition Mobile). It’s a Black Color 3G phone. The best feature of phone is high quality, 2.4-inch color display and a 3.2 megapixel camera. It comes with good camera functions that included Sequence mode, Auto Focus, Red eye removal etc. I must say there is no need to carry a separate camera with you. You can also shoot video. Length of video depends on memory. But more I like the still camera mode.
Another feature is integrated stereo speakers with 3D sound. It has stereo output with two speakers, first speaker at the top and second is at the bottom of phone. It comes with an equalizer to adjust the music according to your taste. Moreover, you can switch to visualization mode. Supported format are MP3/AAC/eAAC/eAAC+/WMA. The phone also features Visual radio.

Other key features are:

S60 3rd Edition Software on Symbian OS
It will be available as WCDMA 2100/EGSM850/900/1800/1900 MHz (RM-133) or EGSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (RM-132).
MiniSD card – 2GB (Comes with the Pack)
Email (SMTP, IMAP4, POP3), with attachment support (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, ZIP)
New Cool 3D Ringtones.

Full List of features

There are about a hundred songs comes preloaded in the Memory Card. To listen to them, I need to activate them first using a code. They are in AAC format. But it is not being connected to the required activation site. I think some problem at server end. I am Just Googling and trying hard to activate them. If anybody has idea please let me know.
