Press-releases of note from the last few days:
SOYO, who we unfortunately don't see much of in Australia, have made an Instant Boot-up motherboard. SOYO’s SY-P4VAL is a user-friendly Pentium 4-based motherboard with an interface for “Media Center” functionality that allows users to have DVD and CD or CD-R with MP3 playback or operate a TV tuner card without an operating system. The technology allows a PC's entertainment functions to turn on almost instantly with a range of functions, such as fast-forward, rewind, and jumping from track to track.
Matrox announced that their Parhelia video card, that attracted a lot of initial attention and then faded from the interest of gamers, has found itself a niche in fighter pilot training. Since the Eurofighter is a brand new fighter, all the aircrew and groundcrew need to be trained on how to fly it and maintain it. ... After consulting with the Matrox sales team, VEGA and their partners decided to test the Parhelia 128MB card. In TripleHead mode, Parhelia can run at a resolution of 3840x1024; 1280x1024 across all three screens.
AMD are circulating a document called "Athlon 64 Features and Benefits". This is a marketing document with information about the virus protection feature and their "Cool 'n' Quiet Technology" as well as the benefits of 64-bit processing. You can grab the 537KB PDF file here.
Kingmax, who again we haven't heard much from lately, have announced their "Hard-core Series" memory modules. All Kingmax memory modules have a guard band (safety bandwidth) at least a 5% or higher. The DDR 466 can reach clock speeds of 490 MHz and higher, while the DDR 500 reaches speeds of 525 MHz and higher. More info in a 347KB Word file here.
