Andrew Balsa has some info and screenshots showing what the Linux desktop will look like on Athlon/64. "Thatīs my on-going review of the Mandrake Linux 9.1 pre-release series,with a ton of screenshots".

HEXUS have posted a mammoth 20 page review of ATI's All In Wonder range of graphics cards and discuss the technology behind them. They put the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro All In Wonder to the test.

Waratt has some good and not so good news for us. "WD company unleashes its new hard disk drive called WD Raptor. More importantly, the novelty with 10 000rpm motor is not intended for customers, but for enterprises at this point, hence, none of your 10 000rpm dreams will come alive today". More info on the drives from WD here.

If your the sort who loves to mod your case...fans, neons, perspex, and all the flash bits, you probably should not read this thread from Jesse. It seems some people just don't get it. :)

We have mentioned this before but destructy sent the link in again. The BMW company have a series of clever video ads that you can now order on DVD. Have a look at their site.
