Much of the machine's face is taken up by an 800 x 600 transflective colour LCD. The display can also operate at up to 1600 x 1200, but at this stage it's not clear if that's a native resolution.

  • Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott review - Indifferent performance, heat problems, lack of S478 upgrade potential, and strained availability, at the end, all count against a recommendation for the Pentium 4 3.4GHz Prescott processor. Looking at the overall situation from an enthusiasts point of view, we'd either plump for a slower Pentium 4 Northwood and i865PE motherboard or any number of AMD setups. Spending big bucks now may prove to be a foolhardy decision in the near future.

thanks hx... Critical security flaw MS Internet Explorer .... the flaws never stop to come..... i find it now sooo funny that Bill gates said in 2001 that XP is the most secure OS they ever made... coz it had a firewall... but they had it off by default... LOL... now it seems XP is the most "unsecure" OS they ever made..... maybe coz everybody is using it and one flaw means everybody has it...lol... ohh welll

Comments from Bill Gatesposted - 03:35 PM CEST - May,10 2004
I did say in 2001 that Windows(tm) XP(tm) is the most secure OS we have ever made. In 2003, Windwows(tm) XP(tm) is still the most secure Microsoft OS because we keep discontinuing our support for older OS's. =D

Chris, I'm glad you thought that comment was funny. I'm moving into the comedian business. Another great line of mine is "640K should be enough for anybody". =D I'm even funnier than my haircut! =D

How can chip.de be so dumb. Of course renaming FarCry.exe will change how the drivers handle the game, NVIDIA's drivers use frigging profile gaming. A feature we are free to use to our liking.

chips.de is dumb because they are ATI-wh0re-loving lozers who want to hold onto their 0.1fps-better ati-crown.
