Integrated memory controller enables three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth. This memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.Intel® HD Boost significantly improves a broad range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, allowing a new level of processing efficiency with SSE4 optimized applications.

Facebook Rights Issue

Social networking site Facebook has backed down after being overrun with complaints following changes to the way it held personal information.

Facebook has an estimated 175 million users
Facebook changed the terms of using its site, enabling it to hold the rights to members' pictures and profile information, even if they had deleted their accounts.
Since Facebook made the changes two weeks ago the site had been inundated with complaints from users.
However, Facebook decided to reverse its decision and account holders found a message on their sites informing them of the change when they logged on today.
Based on feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised.Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted an explanation on the Facebook blog.
He said: "Over the past couple of days, we received a lot of questions and comments about the changes and what they mean for people and their information.
"Based on this feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised."
But Zuckerberg was keen to reiterate that there would be changes to the Facebook rules in the future, but in language that would "clarify" the site's position.
He added: "Our next version will be a substantial revision from where we are now.
"It will reflect the principles I described around how people share and control their information, and it will be written clearly in language everyone can understand."
Facebook was founded in the USA in 2004 and has an estimated 175 million users. Use link for more details
