The controversial topic of "Coppermine Lapping" seems to have reared its head up again. If you don't know what lapping is, read my article from ages ago explaining how to do it to Mendocino (PPGA) Celerons. The first I heard of it being done to Coppermine CPU's was here on Beast's page. Scarecrow has posted his results on a Coppermine (FCPGA) Celeron here in the forums. At the bottom of Martin's page here are some more results and they are discussed here in HardWareZone's forums. Certainly seems that there are good results to be had, but I'm still too scared to do it to mine. Be careful, guys!

SluDge points out this newbie article on cooling and overclocking that manages to avoid the sensationalism and is actually quite a good read.

Dan has checked out the MacPower Digital Doc 5, whizzo bay-bus fan-controller lcd-screen thingo.

Acidhardware reviewed the Hollywood Plus DVD card. Check out our 8-page review from over a year ago that still draws traffic.

ExtremeCooling have some northbridge cooling overkill happening. :) Actually, some good results.

HyperOC have some info on the principles of cooling..

Chainbolt has some info here in the forums about LOWERING core voltage to get higher speed on certain Tbird CPU's.

Duron 900MHz and Athlon 1.33GHz have appeared in Akiba, thanks David..

The usual silly stuff on ZZZ Online. They also have a list of what they think are the worst 5 cars ever..
