I personally think there's too much fuss over New Years Eve, but anyway... *shrug*
Michael Anderson has gone news crazy also! It's actually a good thing (as opposed to obsessive-compulsive disorder), so if you've got news, be like Michael and email us with it. Anyway...
The Register has done a look back over the year from the vendor's side of things.
Dell has started listing Pentium 4's on their hardware spec site.
Some Ebay fraud here...
...and Quepasa.com is out of cash, here.
And finally from Michael's bag 'o news, a report on the Pentium 4's bug, apparently related to PCI performance.
Burning in a CPU to achieve higher overclocking success has always been a bit of a question mark, some people say it works and works well, others say it's a lot of rubbish. Acid Hardware is in the former camp, and has written an Athlon burnin article. I personally believe it works, I've had some success with the process on my Celeron 466 (don't laugh).
Apu's Hardware have just gotten their hands on a voltage-modified KT7. The mod gives 0.3v more than stock, which can be all the difference between a beast machine that strips paint off the walls and a limp wristed flowerpicker that's only good for email and happy websites with no flash or shockwave. *ahem*
This is very cool, Nasa has a nighttime shot of the Earth.All that power... gawd, we'll be out of coal and oil in no time.
Extreme Overclocking has a streaming video on cooling PC's. I'm on dialup at home, so I have no idea what it's like.
Problems with DirectX 8? With this utility, get rid of it and go back to v7, where things are stable and happy. The file you want is DXuninstaller.
Back with Extreme Overclocking, they've finished an comparison of the Duron vs. Celeron. The like the Duron and don't like the Celeron. Poor Celeron, hated by so many.
Watercooled CPU's, and now watercooled video ram. This is scary, yet strangely compelling.
Well, since we're coming up to the REAL new mellinium, here's a list of doomsday theories. As long as I'm drunk and having a good time, I don't care if the world ends.
Some benchmarks regarding FSAA and motion blur on a GeForce 2 GTS. Hmmm...
