OCTools have posted a preview of Chaintech's upcoming Athlon-64 socket754 K8 motherboard offering, based on the nForce3-150 chipset, the ZNF3-150 Zenith. Anandtech also have an Athlon64 preview. They match an Opteron capable of running 200FSB with an nVidia nForce3 reference board to see how the Athlon64 fares. The market place is starting to heat up on the Athlon-64 front, and its just a matter of time before my wife finds out that I'm saving up for one and shoots me. Thanks for the link bigbud120.
OCAddiction take three of the more popular brands of CPU thermal paste to see what type of performance you can expect from each. Read the results Here. Also, Madshrimps have compared five different thermal pastes with the results here. Meanwhile, ModSynergy question the use of Nanotherm PCM+ thermal paste after seeing this when they removed the HSF. I'm not sure if it's as nasty as it may look.
Tempus noticed a new motherboard from Asus, in the form of the dual Dual-Xeon, I875P chipset, PC-DL Deluxe. Sporting 533MHz FSB and dual-channel DDR 333 support, four Serial ATA ports, three IDE channels, six USB 2.0 ports and two IEEE 1394 ports, this sounds like a winner. No mention of price though.
The guys at Accelenation have had a chat with some of the guys at ATI. "Mind you, I was face-to-face with a grunt who went completely blank when I started talking about rotated grid AA, so I didn't push him much after that. "Take one of our carrier bags" he said, "...it's got this rubber-band rocket in it." — so I thanked him and left". Full interview at Accelenation.
From Lou, some new technology that could make water cooled computers a household thing, with pumps that utilise electro-osmosis to silently move the water. Sounds good, but it might be a while before we see these on the shelves.
Aron at Ase Labs has part 1 of Chronicles of Crummy Computers. The nasty things people do to their computers.

I don't usually post rumours, but you never know. "Sony's PlayStation 3 may use a cluster of Sony’s new Cell processors, rather than one as a stand-alone CPU as was thought". Read it on the Rumormill.
Another webmaster interview from OHLS-Place this time with TwistedMods.
Dan has letters #61 for you. Yay.
