Thursday morning. Time for a news post before the sun comes up.
VR-Zone have a modding guide on the EPoX 8RDA+ nForce2 board which centers on how to get this board stable above 200Mhz FSB. They get it up to 240Mhz.
The folks over at Anandtech were given a tour of AMD's Dresden Fabrication plant. Lots of juicy info and some dates for upcoming releases. Thanks Nigel for the link.
From fraz. "Here is some Kiwi ingenuity. A TAK68 with a copper bar inserted to give it volcano 9 whipping performance." Forum thread at Overclockers New Zealand.
"Modding the AthlonXP for a 400 MHz FSB" on an nForce2 board. This will answer the stability problems that some people have seen when running high FSB speeds with nForce2 boards. Read more at Sudhian.
IBM have an article entitled Hyper-Threading speeds Linux. Hyper-Threading has been available to Linux users since the release of the 2.4 kernel. This article show some benchmark results for single and dual processor, both with and without Hyper-Threading enabled. A good read. Thanks elvis!
Athlonxp.com have a roundup and comparison of the top end AthlonXP CPUs.
This from eDust. "Nokia has released an SDK for their Java capable mobile phones. This version runs on Linux, and is free. The Windows version is free too". More information here.
Collin from PCStats has posted his Weekly Tech Tips 2002 Roundup. Lots of handy bits there.
BasS-InJecTeD is very excited because "IBM has released their new 100GHz chip...". Well...not quite, but they have made some transistors that run at speeds much higher than that so the future is getting closer by the day. More info here.
Matt tells us that a 9700pro has been announced. Made by Tyan, the Tachyon is said (by ATI) to be able to reach 400Mhz. (thanks Nobes)
A reminder that there are a couple of OCAU BBQs happening this Sunday the 19th. The Melbourne bbq is on. Details here. Also the Perth BBQ is happening on Sunday. Info for this one here.
I don't know quite what to think of this link...Fake boobs for men!!! Blame redslert.
This from Draffa. I have heard of people losing their licence for a few months, a few years, or even for life, but losing it for 1000 years! Also from Draffa, an XP1700+ (1466Mhz) T'bred overclocked to 2301Mhz.
A few time wasters for you today, of the non-flash variety. Game Button Arcade. As gatecrasher said, "Someone has too much time on their hands".
