  • Sony to combine PlayStation and group chip operations - Sony is to unify its diverse chip development and production operations into a single business in a bid to turn the company into a semiconductor powerhouse.

  • Media Player flaw flays PC security - The vulnerability could let an intruder create a file that appears to be a Windows Media Player skin, but that in reality is a malicious program.

  • Microsoft: Longhorn to arrive in 2005 - Longhorn, the next major version of Windows for desktop PCs, will debut in 2005 and will usher in a new level of graphics for PCs. With Longhorn, Microsoft hopes to improve the visual quality of the computing experience. Company representatives at a WinHEC demonstration of a pre-beta version of Longhorn said that the goal is to be able to run the OS on screens with a resolution of 120 dots per inch or higher. That's far more refined than screens today. Current 17-inch SXGA displays have a resolution of about 95 dots per square inch, said Bob O'Donnell, an analyst at market research firm IDC.

  • AMD AthlonMP 2800+ Barton Core Review - Overall, the MP 2800+ is a great chip. For those working with a motherboard that will support them via a BIOS flash, the opportunity is here.

If you are running anything higher than the MP 1900+ CPU, you may want to look to the Opteron for your next system upgrade.
  • MSI GeForce 4 FX5200-TDR128 Review - The GeForce FX 5200's main competition in the sub $100 market will come from ATI's Radeon 9100 and 9200 graphics cards, but unfortunately we were not able to get samples in time for review so we'll be comparing the MSI FX5200 TDR128'sperformance to its GeForce 4 budget and performance mainstream oriented relatives.

  • NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5600 GPU 256MB Review - Performance-wise, the Radeon 9500 and 9600 Pro lay down a beating on the GeForce FX 5600, even when the latter is equipped with 256MB of memory. As far as features go, there are few practical ways that the Radeons are really lacking. The Radeon 9500 and 9600 Pro only support pixel shader programs up to 64 instructions in length (which is the limit of the pixel shader 2.0 specification), and they only offer 96-bit pixel shader precision rather than the 128-bit precision available to the GeForce FX 5600.
  • Zalman Ultra-Quiet 400W PSU Review - DeviantPC has just published a review of the Zalman Ultra-Quiet 400W PSU. "Although at first I was thoroughly skeptical that the Zalman PSU would make any difference to the noise that emanates from my PC, however I was glad to
    be proven completely wrong. The PSU is nearly what it claims to be, Silent. The difference in noise levels was more noticeable when all case fans were run at half speed."
  • Pyramat 300 Interactive Gaming Mat Review  - The Pyramat 300 Interactive is a foam based mat with a three piece speaker system toward one end of the roughly seven inches long mat. Its first and foremost purpose is to provide you with a place to sit down and relax, in comfort, to then enjoy each and every punch, knock, kick and crash in the game you are playing and in the movie you are watching through its small 25 watt RMS, yet quit effective, sound system with four inches sub woofer directly behind your back to assist with all the big blows to pound through the upper part of your body and legs - it is essentially a force feedback mat.

  • Overclocking the Pentium 4 2.4C - To sum it all up, this one retail Pentium 4 2.4C has certainly gotten us excited about OCing Intel CPUs again.
