FiringSquad has some info on the new P3 steppings, cB0. These are the SMP-capable jobbies - they ask: are they more overclockable than the old stepping?
Soyo have shipped a bunch more BIOS'es.. notably absent is the SY-6VBA-133, but pretty much everything else is updated.
FrostyTech have a new heatsink design up, solid copper, it's a bit of a monster..
Got an Athlon and a GFD but not sure how to connect 'em together? This article will show you how to do it..
There's an anybody-in-the-world competition running here, it's simple enough. The prize is a Soyo SY-6VBA-133 motherboard, not the newest peice of kit on the block but I've got one in my games box.. a P3-550E 100% stable at 853MHz is not too bad at all.
CTNews have a review of the Asus K7V Athlon motherboard here, they compare it to Abit's KA7..
ClubOC have reviewed the IWill VD133 Pro motherboard here. It's another Apollo Pro 133A unit.. with IDE RAID on board! Looking at the board though, what a terrible place to put the extra IDE headers..
I've not had a chance to look at this properly yet but it looks pretty cool - a tool that analyses an NT box's event log for restart notices and can provide you with uptime statistics (uptime 95% etc) and a bunch of other interesting stuff. It apparently works with NT4 and Win2K (server and wks) and it's free, get it here. Link stolen from arstechnica.
This is interesting, BXBoards send word of a beta BIOS for the Abit KA7 which allows L2 cache adjustment from the BIOS.
My fellow corporate slaves will relate to this, a study has shown it's not uncommon for silicon valley IT-worker cubicles to be smaller than the pens that house veal calves..
Daniel Rutter and a hot, wet, naked Athlon - what a mental picture that is. Dan has sorted out his Senfu woes to some extent, his review of their water-cooling kit is a great read as usual.
More info on the current hot topic, Remarked Athlons in Oz, over on InsaneHardware.
Blue Dingo sends word (and a pic) that his Athlon is capable of running it's L2 cache 100% stable at 412MHz (ie 1/2 ratio at 825 MHz core). I've not really been paying attention but that's quite a bit higher than they can normally do it, apparently. This is a good thing for sure!
