Jim Baker from Realtime Systems has written up an article which explains lots of terms you often hear in relation to RAM technology. An interesting read.

It looks like the owners of motherboards based around the Apollo Pro 133A chipset are finally getting their revenge on the diehard BX owners. This memory interleaving option which is appearing in the BIOSes of a lot of motherboards seems to give a real boost to that chipset's much publicized Achilles heel, the memory throughput. I've put up some links earlier this week but here's a couple more, one on OCWorkbench showing a 38% increase and a huge one by Dr Ffreeze on ClubOC, which covers quite a few settings including interleaving.

A couple of people sent this link in - with all these virus outbreaks lately you often hear that the FBI is chasing the baddies.. more likely, the FBI is getting these guys to chase 'em.

DimensionX is a great place to get the daily hardware review headlines, now they've moved to their own domain at PCNewsCenter.com..

A new BIOS update for Abit BM6 owners..

Dan has checked out some speakers with a USB jack in them. But they're not USB speakers. Hmm!

HotHardware have gotten hold of the retail release of the Voodoo5 drivers and done a load of benchmarking with them.

Speaking of drivers, I found this page on MadOnion.com's site today, loads of vendor driver site links.

This page shows probably the current 3DMark2000 record. 7488!

PCWorld have an interesting article up for Palm addicts like me, a bunch of tips and useful utils..

Tom has put up what he thinks about the whole Intel MTH business.
