SubZeroTech have had a look at P4 and AMD performance at perhaps a higher level than elsewhere in what they've called their "P4 and AMD Showdown: A Brief, Honest Look At The Numbers". Interesting times ahead, as the two heavyweights battle it out.

Hmmmm, what happens when you go in for surgery and happen to have a tattoo saying "I love women" on your leg? Gotta wonder if it was intentional, but then I guess you'd have to question why anyone would have that on their leg in the first place! Thanks Neevo.
Last up for today, there are a few more LANs coming up. Both the ACT Gaming Network and Rezidue LAN Party in Mentone, Victoria are on the Australia Day weekend. Registration for Rezidue is through Ausgamers. Thanks for the info guys.
