Best Buy has shaved $50 dollars off of the MSI 10-inch Wind U100, lowering it to $349. Sources indicate this is so the consumer electronics store can clear out shipments of the popular netbook before ASUS releases their rumored $200 Eee PC in 2009.

The MSI Wind U120 was always supposed to drop this quarter, now magazine DigiTimes has narrowed the launch to November. The unit will be available in white or black, and should cost approximately $552 when it comes out. November’s Wind will come with a built-in 3.5G data module, Atom N270 proc, 1GB memory and a 120GB hard disk loaded with Windows XP.

But enough of the near future, what about the sorta near future? MSI says a next generation Wind will drop in March of 2009. This version will possess "new innovations" and will be shown off at CeBIT 2009. I hope these new innovations involve it cooking and feeding me a fried egg breakfast. Here’s to hoping.

AMD is now shipping ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 and ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 graphics processors. Both deliver DirectX® 10 gaming and high definition video for Windows Vista®.

The new graphics cards will be available at online retailers within a few weeks from board customers including Asus, Club 3D, Diamond Multimedia, GeCube, Gigabyte, HIS, MSI, Palit, PowerColor, Sapphire and VisionTek.

The ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 2400 and ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 2600 cards are designed for use in entry-level and mainstream systems, in which the UVD technology is beneficial for watching high definition movies.

In contrast, the ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 2900 XT is a high-end desktop card for gaming enthusiasts, and designed to be used in high-performance PCs with the fastest CPUs. In these environments, the CPU can perform software decoding of HD video without being overburdened and UVD technology is not required. The user will get a high-quality video experience (including watching Blu-ray or HD DVD movies) with any ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 2000 series card.
