- CES 2003 Day 1 - Happy Days Are Here Again - It's usually a
cold day in hell if I am happy about trudging around the Las Vegas Convention
Center. Part of it may have to do with Comdex, which leaves a lingering bad
taste in one's mouth for months afterwards. Part of it may have to do with the
lack of awe that a typical showfloor inspires. However,
CES 2003 has been different. Maybe it's because it isn't organized by the
Sons of Satan. Hmmm.
- CES 2003: Day 2 Coverage - AMDZone updates
their CES 2003 coverage with a shot of Geforce FX and several nForce 2
products.
- Nintendo President Interviewed -
In an
interview with the Nihon Kezai Shimbun, Nintendo's newly inaugurated,
43-year old president Satoru Iwata discussed the slowing sales of GameCube
hardware. Iwata noted that he hopes to offset the slump by more frequently
linking home consoles and handhelds as well as selling software and hardware
to China, which is overrun with piracy.
- LGP To Publish Bandits and Ballistic for Linux - Linux Game
Publishing (LGP) have announced the
next two titles
that they will be porting to Linux. They are both made by Grim, a Swedish
development company, and they are called Ballistics and Bandits: Phoenix
Rising.
- HT Adapter For Non-HT P4 Boards - Things have gone quite well since
we discovered there is a possibility of enabling HT on current P4s. Now
PowerLeap has designed
an adapter to allow hyperthreading (HT) on non-HT-ready P4 motherboards.
Also, the adapter is really a chipset mod - it makes the pre-HT versions of
the i845 and i850 allow HT to be enabled. However, it doesn't make HT work
with versions of the P4 that have it bonded-out except for the 3.06 GHz
version. Intel is launching P4 with HT enabled from speed grades of 2.4Ghz
onwards in a couple of months time so users might wish to upgrade their
processors then and enjoy HT without changing their older i845 and i850
boards. (check
