- What's Next for Desktops? -
The big thing this year is PCI Express, a serial interface similar to USB
and 1394 that provides low pin count and higher performance. One port of PCI
Express will yield 200 megabytes per second, which is twice what a PCI slot
does today, and it takes up less than half the area

- Intel should be ashamed of itself over AMD 64, Torvalds says -
Posting by Linus Torvalds on the linux-kernel mailing list suggests that
Intel
should be more than a little ashamed of itself when it announced its 64-bit
extensions last week. Torvalds was replying to a post which asked whether
there was any difference between X86_64 and X86-64. He said the real name for
the instruction set should be X86-64, and always has been. Torvalds said he
was "a bit disgusted" at Intel for not even mentioning AMD in its
documentation or its press releases. "I'd almost be inclined to rename the
thing as AMD64 just to give credit where credit is due," he said. "However,
it's just not worth the pain and confusion".
- Motorola V150 review -
The phone is pretty
cheap (160 Euro) when you consider the colour screen and the polyphonic
ringtones. Although the software is a bit weak, I really love a clamshell
phone. I like the looks and lines and the weight makes it all so much nicer.

this
might make you reconsider.
- Abit Radeon 9800XT water-cooled to 505MHz - For graphics
overclockers,
the water
solution is definitely something that should look at. Almost 100MHz in
graphics world or should we say close to 20 per cent overclock is definitely
not something that you see every day.

- Dlink firmware upgrade leaves stuttering mess - Many users have
purchased the D-link DI-624 "Xtreme-G" wireless router for its ability to
transfer at speeds up to 108Mbps (even though those speeds are more marketing
hype than reality). Unfortunately for many, the latest version of
the
product's firmware does little more than turn the unit into an expensive,
stuttering paperweight.
DSLReports'
Dlink forum is filled with complaints about the new DI-624 revision C v
2.36 firmware update and what users have dubbed the "60 second disconnect"
problem.

| Comments from maga | posted - 03:57 PM CET - Feb,23 2004 | | what's wrong with that Liteon statement ? world's first dvd recorder that writes cd-r ??? wtf ? | |
| Comments from ASk | posted - 05:42 PM CET - Feb,23 2004 | | I was under impression that all dvd recorders were able to write cd-r/rws
Perhaps the statement means 'using one laser only' (usually dvd-recorders have 2 lasers, one for dvds, one for cds) | |
| Comments from jahi | posted - 06:05 PM CET - Feb,23 2004 | | maybe a standalone dvd recorder, like the one pluged directly into a tv? shit makes no sence... | |
| Comments from xxxx | posted - 03:43 AM CET - Feb,24 2004 | | ya pci express, another architecture that video vendors can milk at our expense. | |
| Comments from nVidia 4eva | posted - 05:08 AM CET - Feb,24 2004 | | I thought you ATI b*tches out there claimed the Radeon 9800XT was already fast enough; why are some idiots overclocking it to 505MHz!?!?! Sounds like somebody is trying to cover up! | |
| Comments from Stef Nighthawk | posted - 04:36 PM CET - Feb,24 2004 | | Do you guys ever click on the link to read the FULL article?
It's a standalone recorder you can hook up to your TV. It's the first to include recording capability for VCD and SVCD on a CD-R/RW.
The other's could only write DVD.

| Comments from jesus | posted - 07:23 PM CET - Feb,24 2004 | | ATI sucks period. Another stupid point is why bother overclocking a card that crashes to desktop on a lot of games? has issues with games like HL 1, these cards have the worst stability I have ever seen, ever read that in a review? No? Weird eh...? I offer anyone to grab the drivers from the start and look at ALL the game bugs crashes system, crashes to desktop etc.. Ya! lets overclock it so it can crash faster! wooo. ATI is the best.. Pfff ya, after smoking a big reefer and wearing a blindfold, sure. A=Assinine T=Technology I=Included | |
