Now that it's June, we have our first full month's worth of logs after moving to our new servers, pie and chips. So, in May, we served 8,355,831 pages. This is the first time we've broken 8M pages in a month and a pretty good result given we didn't have much in the way of reviews in May.

I had a very pleasant ride south of Sydney with about 30 people from the OCAU Motorcycle Club on Sunday. Great weather, good roads, friendly people.. not a bad way to spend a day at all. :)

If you think the Government isn't paying enough attention to the spam problem, it seems they now have to, thanks Josh. A Senate committee has been told members and senators are drowning in a sea of increasingly offensive spam, just like the rest of us.

HardOCP have an editorial about video card reviews and how they will approach the various "cheating" problems from now on.

TweakTown have a budget P4 chipset shootout, while HWZ looked at nine 8X DVD burners.

Hexus compared some mobile graphic chipsets, namely the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 and NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700. Current top end mobile GPUs enable excellent DX8-level performance and DX9 titles are certainly playable.

3DVelocity looked at some new ATI products featuring, among other things, PCI-Express. HotHardware have some info too.

Goofy[HSK] spotted these new low-power Geode CPUs from AMD, based on their mobile Athlon. The NX1500@6W version requires no cooling fan and typically consumes 6W at 1Ghz, peaking at 9W under load, utilising AMD's PowerNow! power saving technology.

Win y'self some Corsair memory over on OCrCafe.

CreativeMods have a modder of the month posted with info on his project.

Today's flash timewaster is Bow Man from Pax.
