One of the primary advantages of SSDs is that they are faster than a mechanical hard drive and they don’t need to be defragmented. SSD SATA drives can reach transfer speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps while supporting hot-plug with asynchronous signal recovery, software settings preservation, […]

With the launch of its ANGLE graphics project, Google will provide enhanced 3D graphics without the need for users to download any additional drivers. ANGLE stands for Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine. Its goal is to provide a WebGL OpenGL ES 2.0 API (application Programming Interface) that works over the Microsoft DirectX9.0c API. ANGLE is available under the BSD license and will allow Chrome to run WebGL content on Windows computers without having to use OpenGL drivers. WebGL has no […]
