Adrian's Rojak Pot has an article about Maxtor's SilentStore technology.. and how to turn it off, for more noise and hopefully more performance from your HDD.

ExplosiveLabs compared a few GF4 Ti4200-8X video cards.

Some Melbournians can now get wireless net access through Alphalink, thanks Leo. The wireless link provides a permanent connection to the internet at speeds up to 11Mb/s half duplex (5500Kbit/s in each direction). However, the company warns that this is a theoretical limit only - connection speed may be less than this and is dependant on customers' physical locations and environments.

Digit-Life have posted their 2002 Awards, as voted by their readers. HardOCP have given out their awards also.

If you scroll down a bit on AthlonXP.com, they are reporting that AMD has shipped AthlonXP 2600+ 333MHz-FSB retail packs with 266MHz-FSB chips inside. No reports of any in Australia, so hopefully it won't affect most of us.

VooDoo noticed a vendor offering dual Hammer systems in 1RU format.
