It’s official - the blurry ‘Windows Vista-capable’ logo that appeared on the web last week is real, as Epson demonstrated today when it launched a desktop system for the Japanese market that conforms to the certification process centred on Microsoft’s next generation of Windows.
The machine in question is the Endeavour Pro 3500.
Specs :
[ul]
[li]Intel’s 3GHz Pentium 4 630[/li][li]Intel’s 975X chipset[/li][li]Nvidia’s GeForce 6600 GT graphics chip[/li][li]512MB of DDR 2 SDRAM [/li][li]80GB hard driveo[/li][li]Gigabit Ethernet[/li][li]Six USB 2.0 ports[/li][li]Pair of PCI Express x16 slots and two x1 connectors.[/li][/ul]
Epson said the 3500 contains sufficient horsepower to run Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, one of the many forms the new OS will adopt.

The Deskstar 7K400 - this drive holds 400GB.
HITACHI Global Storage said that it has released 500GB hard drives with 3Gb/s Serial ATA interfaces.
The Deskstar T7K500 and 7K160 use a combination of platters at 160GB a throw to produce the high capacities.
That means Hitachi will offer densities of 500GB, 400GB, 320GB and 250GB with 8.5 ms average seek time, and for S-ATA drives a 16/8MB data buffer. No pricing is available yet.
