Dean Claxton sent along an easier/neater way to do the Promise hack. I've put his info into the current forum thread here, there's even a pic.
OCWorkbench checked out the new Soltek Athlon board. The most interesting thing about this board, for me, is the support for 133MHz FSB. Pretty sure that's the highest I've seen on an Athlon board. They only test it to 115 however..
Anand has reviewed the new AOpen Athlon motherboard. As they say, it's finally here but was it worth the wait?
PCInsight have a review of the ASUS S500 50X CD-ROM drive. I actually picked up one of these babies in Bangkok about a year or so ago, worked out to about $80AUD.. f'n bargain. Good drive but a bit loud. I should do a comparison of it against the cheapy 68X speed.. (adds another entry to review queue)
FiringSquad have another Q3 videocard shootout here.
Saw this interesting link on HouseOfStuff - a cool 'lil SMP utility that seems to look at affinity from the other way around - instead of assigning tasks to processors, you assign your processors to tasks - which stops them running other tasks. So your single-thread games are the ONLY things running on a given processor, hence speedier. That's the theory, at least - not had much chance to dick around with it yet. It's here, anyway. UPDATE: Actually, there are a bunch of cool utilities on that page. Instant bookmark for me.
CNewZ have a switchbox reviewed, hook up 4 PC's to 1 KB/Mouse/Vid. I've not read it yet but probably should, tried to buy some of these things for work a month or so ago and they were incredibly expensive for what they are..
Seemed to be quite a bit of interest in the GFD roundup from last night, a few more companies are sending their GFD's along for the next one.
