  • New RIAA file-swapping suits filed - The trade association said Tuesday that it sued an additional 532 anonymous individuals, including 89 people at 21 separate universities. This is the third round of suits since the RIAA was forced by the courts to file suits without first using subpoenas to learn the alleged file swappers' true identities.
  • New domain names aid net to grow - New net domain names including .xxx for pornographic sites and .mobi for phones could be live by early 2005. Ten organisations have applied to the net's ruling body with proposals for nine new net domain names.

  • Nostalgia: MS-DOS 4.0: The Next-Gen DOS That Never Shipped - Most people don’t know about Microsoft's other multitasking operating system, MS-DOS 4.0 which was actually a version of MS-DOS 2.0 that was written in parallel with MS-DOS 3.x (DOS 3.x shipped while DOS 4 was under development, which is why it skipped a version). The MS-DOS 4 version described here was never shipped and instead a beefed-up version of 3.x was labeled 4.0 and shipped instead.

  • ATi's FireGL X2-256t and NVIDIA's Quadro FX 1100 Open GL Graphics - ATi and NVIDIA have unveiled their latest OpenGL graphics cards for mainstream graphics applications. ATi offers processing power. NVIDIA, while short on window dressing, attempts to win the price/performance battle. We let the performance benchmarks speak for themselves on an HP xw4100 Workstation.

  • Media Player Classic 6.4.8.1 - Media Player Classic (download Win9x/ME ~ Win2k/XP) is similar to windows media player 6.4 but with features pertained to minimalist advanced users. It also supports DirectX 9 and VFW drivers for capture. It supports viewing through ActiveX controls of Real and QuickTime files
  • DAEMON Tools 3.46 - DAEMON Tools (download), it's basically a virtual CD-/DVD-ROM with which you can mount image files created by various other software packages.This new version fixes a small bug in virtual drive behavior with Spellforce, problems with DVD-RAM devices on Windows NT/2000/XP, and ROXIO Driver issue.
  • CDRWin 3.9f (March 22) - There's a new version of CDRWin available (download) on the Golden Hawk website. Unfortunately there's no changelog available for this new version. Probably it's just another device update.
  • nFORCE nVMixer 1.0 & 4.31 audio driver - A very clever trick was pulled by Mat from http://www.NVPlanet.com, the man couldn't wait for the all new nVMixer for nForce owners. So he decided to try installing the nVMixer contained in the nForce 64-bit package released today along with the latest drivers from Windows Update on my XP 32-bit and it works fine. They are not supported by us nor by nVidia so use at your own risk ~ download (thanks Blooduk)

one thing that should be made news is the bias in the community and from sites about HL2 and it's supposedly good graphics..... I said Farcry was crap etc.. well i just saw screenshots of the game on IGN, I take it back, looks very nice and 100x better than any crap HL2 video. Why they released crap demo's that didnt even come close to the graphics quality of this game is beyond me!?... but then, I'm not gonna upgrade my pc to enjoy this game so I doubt I will buy it anyhow. Rather play it when I got a better pc. Either way, just wanted to say, I think the game looks pretty decent. Nice to see a real quality gfx game, makes me feel better about owning a pc again. I thought HL2 would restore that, but HL2 takes a far back seat to what i saw in screenshots.

i love what ATI did with nvidia laptops http://www20.tomshardware.com/business/20040323/cebit2004_1-15.html

Regards that Graphics Roundup - why are even ATI vs nVidia arguments on this website? In all the tests that matters, nVidia spanks ATI. And oh, the 9800XT is 0.1 fps than the FX5950U ... WHOOPDI-DO!!! and the conclusion is so pro-ati biased it makes you sick... "To nVidia's credit..." omg, nvidia must be so crap... what a saving grace. Yet another ATI-whipped reviewer who ignores the important benchmark statistics to tickle his own ati-belly.

Comments from Jacobposted - 06:18 AM CET - Mar,24 2004
Nvidia never planned to fully program for directx9..When games start coming out that are directx9 nvidia will go right down the tubes.Thats why they are launchin N40 right now before these games start coming out so they will have the lead.But..ATI has a nice card coming out just about the same time that will again stoped them.Dont get me wron.Nvidia has some good stuff..But for some reason I favor ATI just like I favor AMD over intel.All I can say is..BE glad there are 2 graphic chip makers.Otherwise expect to pay 700-900 for a FX5950 or same for 9800XT..

Comments from Robposted - 07:01 AM CET - Mar,24 2004
Wow... I doubt Im the first one to say this but Im sick and tired of hearing the RIAA complain. Talk about beating a dead horse, half the people they want to sue prolly cant pay what theyre asking. This is just sadistic to sue these people to prove they are the big dogs. If anything they look more like heartless ogres sueing little kids to old women alike.

Comments from FX5900posted - 01:25 PM CET - Mar,24 2004
Jacob - shut up man. That post is the sort that starts flame wars. nVidia ownz. You know it - regardless how u feel. So i guess you love system crashes & weird glitches with your ATI+AMD combination.

Comments from Robposted - 02:48 PM CET - Mar,24 2004
heh This always happens... Now FX5900 that response wasnt to nice. If you didnt like what he said you could have said it without jumping the gun to defend Nvidia. Doing that you just sound as bad as him. I own both ATI and Nvidia cards and I have to say they each have thier issues. Sometimes ones better than the other, right now its the Nvidia... but who knows how long that will last hehe. But I digress, all Im saying is try and calm down a bit :P. I agree thats how flaming starts, but no reason to actually take the bait :\

MS-DOS 4.0 multitasking???? Give me a break! Win95 did not even have true multitasking.

Comments from Jakeposted - 06:44 PM CET - Mar,24 2004
I don't see why people get so overprotective over brands of graphics cards, when the companies releasing the cards couldn't care less about them, as long as they buy their products.

Comments from Jacobposted - 01:37 AM CET - Mar,25 2004
Cant we flame in here if we want? Ive seen bad language used? You totally missed my point back there.

Comments from Jacobposted - 01:41 AM CET - Mar,25 2004
And BTW.Another nice thing about ATI is they come out with these cards e.g. 9500 that can be turned into a 9700 wich I have done for 1/2 the price of a 9700.NVIDIA does not have this.Not to mention my Atholon B core running 700mhz oc'd

Comments from FX5900posted - 05:30 AM CET - Mar,25 2004
Rob. I'm sorry. You're right, my post wasn't very nice. Forgive me. However, I still wish Jacob would shut up. nVidia DO have BIOS hacks -- i should be named Mr.FX5950U because i turned my FX5900 into a FX5950U for free. ATI is sooo original *roll eyes*. And my Intel P4 is overclocked from 2.6GHz to 3.2GHz... wow, AMD is so original.... And JAKE in answer to your question, i'm not overprotective of my video card. Everyone knows mine is bigger than Jacob's. :-) suck it down. So Rob, how was that? Was that post nicer?

Comments from 321948579834posted - 05:33 AM CET - Mar,25 2004
too bad. i checked nVidia's website. MS-DOS4 is not supported. no point upgrading my video card then.
