- So What's This .NET Thing? - What is Microsoft .NET? To oversimplify, .NET for IT includes services,
development tools and systems, and servers. Clients are part of it too where there is
direct user interaction. The remainder of this note describes .NET and how it might touch
IT. Part 2, coming shortly, is an overview of the various components from an IT
perspective, with links to technical/IT information. In Part 3, which likely will follow
Part 2, I'll offer some concrete examples based on experience with real-world businesses.

- Geforce4 info from PC Gamer - According to PC Gamer there
are only 2 chipsets. This GeForce 4 Ti4400 wasn't even mentioned let alone those other
3 variations that you have seen. Maybe Nvidia added those extra strings to the drivers
because they knew that the drivers would have been leaked? Maybe to throw us off of what
is really going to be announced on Feb 5th? But PC Gamer noted that the GeForce 4 is
mainly a speed, not a process upgrade for gamers.

- Overclocking the XP1600+ - The XP1600 coupled with a good
motherboard such as the Asus A7V266-E, results in a very 'overclockable' sub-system. Im
almost 100% positive that the FSB overclocking experiment was not fulfilled by the CPU
reaching it's maximum, but by the other components such as the RAM or AGP card reaching
theirs. If I had the resources, the patience and the confidence to successfully unlock the multiplier then without a doubt I could of
obtained a much higher CPU speed in conjunction with raising the voltage level.
