"How To Host A LAN Party", thats the theme of a new article over at LAN Addict. I would suggest lots of pizza and softdrink, a few beers, driver disks, an empty hard drive, oh...and a few computers wouldn't go astray.
There is an upcoming motherboard from Abit, the ABIT BH7 board made for overclockers. You can read more about it at VR-Zone.
LiamC has posted a piece about Barton and how it fits into AMD's roadmap. He makes a few good point in this article.
If you liked the look of the Glowy Spinny Thing that Sabretooth reviewed the other day, then you will like the look of these Glowy Spinny Things. Mmmm...more lights.
"Draw images and show ya mates" is what Haroc had to say about this site. A virtual whiteboard.
Agg mentioned that Kazaa 2.1 is out now. BasS-InJecTeD has let us know that KazaaLite 2.0.2 is out now, just the same as Kazaa except minus all of Kazaa's adware and spyware.
NVIDIA has released their latest drivers, version 42.68 for all 3DMark03 testing and benchmarking. This is an optimized driver release for 3DMark03, although I couldn't find any mention of them on the nVidia website. Some people are claiming a score increase of as much as 200 points. You can download the driver from HardwareExtreme.com.
Modtown have a preview of the Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP. If you are a console fan, this one looks sweet.
Nigel tells us that Blu-ray is on the way. If you haven't been following the development of this new technology, here is a glimpse. "The Blu-ray Disc enables the recording, rewriting and play back of up to 27 gigabytes (GB) of data on a single sided single layer 12cm CD/DVD size disc using a 405nm blue-violet laser". More info can be found here.
Now I know what I want as my next hobby! Remote controlled battleships. We have all seen those little boats getting around the local park pond, but this adds a new dimension to the fun. "These vessels engage each other in combat on ponds across Australia, endeavoring to punch holes in each others hull with their cannon until one of the vessels sinks or flees. Yes, the cannon really do fire, the vessels really do take damage and sink". Have a look here and see for yourself. Thanks K@OS.
Flash time waster for today is GridLock. I got stuck in this one for a while, but only made it to level 16 before I bailed.
