More LGA775 stuff on AnandTech, HardOCP, MBReviews, TheReg, ExtremeTech, Digit-Life and LegitReviews.

HardOCP also take a closer look at AMD's socket 754 CPUs, seeing if they are a worthwhile alternative to the expensive S939 offerings.

TomsHardware are claiming that Intel have locked overclocking features including limiting the FSB on their new 915/925 chipsets, thanks flatout.

LegitReviews did some memory testing on AMD's new Socket939 platform.

Xbit have some info on a new gadget from ABIT. The uGuru Clock will permit customers to dynamically adjust system’s performance by setting special presets, such as “Turbo”, “Quiet”, “Normal”, etc directly from their favorite games or applications without need to run additional utilities or reboot the PC. Besides that, the uGuru Clock will show hardware temperatures, fan speeds as well as monitor incoming MSN or e-mail events.

Graham found this Ferrari Factory Tour article.. high-performance hardware of a different kind.

Sudhian wonder if PCI-Express is necessary, given how much unused potential there is in AGP.

From Andrew: This one is funny but it's serious too. If you have recently purchased one of the Hitachi 7K250 series of hard disks (I bought a 160GB drive a month ago), you have probably heard a very irritating sound, almost like a cat's meow, every 5~10 minutes. It seems this is the sound of thermal recalibration or some other routine programmed in the drives' firmware. After a lot of people complained directly to Hitachi, their engineers finally provided a firmware hack that fixes the problem and eliminates the irritating noise. You can find the firmware hacks for the PATA and SATA 7K250 drives here.

This story is a little old now, but the first bluetooth virus has been discovered, thanks Cybergecko.

Xbit continued looking at Samsung's LCD products in detail.
