News for today, Saturday...all day...

OCAddiction take a Intel P4 2.4B/533 into the labs for a workout.

There is some info on the upcoming SFF miniDragon PC from SOYO at Accelenation.

AGP 4X vs. AGP 8X Pt III. Read the article over at HWZ for all the gory details.

Digit-Life have a round-up of ATI Radeon cards. Included are the 9500 64MB, 9500 128MB, 9500 PRO, 9700 and 9700 PRO. All tested using DirectX 9.0.

Sudhian have posted an article entitled: Bill Gates: Fiend or Friend. For some reason, I found this funny!

X-bit labs want to tell you all about the Shuttle XPC. "Small Form-Factor PCs with Big Capabilities".

Grant informs us that Thermaltake have released their new range of Xaser PC Cases. They look good, if you are not the do-it-yourself type of modder.

The latest in the world of weird and wonderful is out. ZZZ number 156 is out.

eDust sends word that AMI has released their first Palladium enabled bios. More details here and from AMI here. Looks like troubled times ahead for many PC users although some people have taken up the fight against Palladium at Stoppalladium.org.

We spend a lot of money on games! A really large amount on games. fxr91 found this article which says Australians spend an average of $2.3 million a day on video games. WoW.

As just about every other piece of computing hardware can be found in a wireless form these days, Wireless Monitors were going to pop up at some stage. I think I have found my next upgrade purchase. Thanks Lou.

The Perth OCAU BBQ is on soon. Gazman wants to tell you all about it so I will let him. "Details are as follows :Jan 19th, Western Power Parkland's (in kings park), BYO everything excluding cooking gear (basically BYO food and utensils if you feel you need them). 12 noon till whenever ppl decide to leave. Computing shirts if possible or something different so we stand out and can find each other easily". There is a forum thread about it here. I will try to be there as well so I hope to see a few of the WA OCAU'ers.

Some great news from our Folding@Home team. Team member, DGROMS.com, has become the highest points scoring individual in the world with over 100,000 points. WoW! The race is now on between DGROMS.com and plext to reach the massive milestone of 150,000 points. And I thought my sub-teams 5166.18 points was good going. If you are not folding then you should visit the Overclockers Australia Folding@Home page, and find out all you need to know to get in the race. Go team!

Todays time waster is one for the Star Wars fans. Jawa Shoot.
