What’s
Hot At ThinkCP™ Technologies?
While we’re busy creating huge server and
cluster installations [which seems to be the really exciting action
to computer geeks like so many of us], the hottest solo product
quickly gaining ground at Think is a basic storage device –
Think USB Flash Memory 2.0/1.1 (aka "Think U-Key-Com™).
Have you ever used one?
It’s a breeze and it’s the best quick-file
transfer device to hit the market since the adoption of 3.5"
floppy disks & file transport via "sneaker-net".
How do you use it?
A. Plug it in your USB port – your
system sees it as an
additional hard drive.
B. It takes about 1 minute or less for the system to
see it.
C. Copy your stuff and you’re done.
Why not just stick with floppies
& CDs? To put it in perspective -
• U-Key-Com™ holds as much information
as 1,388
floppy disks(2Gb Ver.)
• It’s a little smaller and lighter than your
typical Swiss
Army® Knife(but not as versatile).
• For quick-file transfers, it’s faster &
easier than
burning a CD.
If you, your company, or your customers haven’t tried it
yet – all "market-speak" aside – you are missing
out. Look, there’s a lot of computer gadgets in the market,
but for about $39, you can just try our 64MB U-Key-Com
– just try it and you’ll be hooked. U-Key-Com™
currently ships in 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB + 2GB capacities.
For more information on U-Key-Com™ and other USB flash drives,

Increase Network Performance 800%!!!
It’s not just talk, TiGi proves performance increases up
to 800% or more. TiGi SSD performance enhancements reduce the
number of servers required in most network environments, effectively
reducing cost of ownership via reductions in licensing and maintenance
costs. If you’re in the industry and you haven’t looked
at solid state disk technologies lately, you can brush up on SSD
and TiGi Solutions by visiting ThinkCP™ Technologies at –

The ThinkTank Q8-4X (4 Way)
AMD Opteron™ Screamer
"Screamer" is really "market-speak" for unbelievably
fast. Both 32-bit & 64-bit applications work great on our
AMD platforms; smooth as a whistle, fast as lightening and not
one glitch. The low price & high-performance of our AMD Opteron™
processor based solutions put comparative price-performance ratios
to shame – absolute shame. We’re still waiting for Intel’s
answer to the AMD Opteron™ processor. Don’t get us wrong,
we still love Intel and move lots of Intel product, but what are
they doing to try and fill the processor void?
The majority of performance benchmarks indicate that the 8-Way
AMD Opteron™ processor (800 Series Processor), as currently
implemented in 4-Way design configurations (such as the ThinkTank
Q8-4X) outperforms the competition. This fact, coupled with a
true 32/64 bit platform and AMD’s aggressive pricing strategy
on the Opteron silicon, makes ROI analysis lean heavily in favor
of AMD’s technology.
Still having second thoughts about implementing AMD Opteron™
processor technology in your I.T. infrastructure? The new technology
is being implemented by a slew of Universities, government institutions
and commercial customers around the globe, many of them using
linux 64 based operating systems, or their existing 32 bit operating
systems. The sales figures are fairly tremendous so far (from
what we could garner), despite the fact that our friends at Microsoft
haven’t released their upcoming 64-bit server OS and there’s
only a limited number of 64 bit applications currently available.
AMD is supporting a large number of developers who are busy creating
new applications for the latest 64-bit core, while the public
at large can currently enjoy improved performance using their
existing 32 bit applications on the AMD Opteron™ processor
platform.
AMD has earned a number of awards for the AMD Opteron™ and
AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor technologies, including:
Looking at
recent performance benchmarks, we see further reason why AMD’s
latest technology makes good (and often better) sense.

Despite this writer’s original comments about Intel at the
beginning of this article,
don’t get me wrong. I’m one of the old school, die-hard
Intel fans. For the most part,
Intel has always created reliable, quality products and supported
them to the Nth
degree. But in light of the recent, incredible developments at
AMD, and their proven
history in the CPU market, I really think they’ve earned
a significant chunk of the
proverbial processor market pie – and they’re not giving
it back any time soon.
