Wayne sent in this Unreal II sneak-peek page. Looks pretty tasty!
He also notes that AMD are delaying their "Hammer" processors by six months. AMD representatives said the company decided to wait in order to align the Hammer family of chips--which feature the ability to process data in 64-bit chunks--with a new chip manufacturing technology, called Silicon on Insulator (SOI). At the same time, the company plans to extend its Athlon processors well into 2003, instead of tapering them off earlier.
AcidHardware have their own forums now..
There's an interesting optus@home stats page showing the current health of their network as measured from 12 nodes.. thanks MegaBaz.
I think we've seen this before.. but anyway, TweakHardware have a guide to converting the A7V onboard ATA-100 controller to RAID.. without touching a soldering iron.
Digit-Life have their April 2001 Hardware Roundup posted. Usually an interesting if lengthy read..
Xenofex have a guide to making a linux firewall for dialup users.
Guru3D have an explanation of Detonators.. what's what, what you've got, what you should have.
If you've got the most suitable Detonator but still aren't happy with it, NVMax may help you tweak a little more out of it, thanks Iroquois.
xbit have been overclocking their GF3.. as you do.
I thought this was a joke at first, but apparently it's not. FrostyTech have reviewed the Globalwin CPM25603-16 socket cooler. So what, you say? Well, that cooler (superceded by the CPM25603-32) was the one I used to sell with the original lot of C366's overclocked to 550MHz, way back when this site first started.. nearly 2 years ago! Anyway, interesting to see how old-school sinks compare to current ones on small-die CPU's.. in a word: sucky.
Apparently NASA have re-established contact with Pioneer 10. This is the famous probe with the gold plaque showing a map of the solar system and diagrams of a man and a woman. It was launched in 1972 and is now 11.74 billion kilometres from earth, well outside the Solar System - the second-furthest-away man-made object ever (after Voyager 1 which was launched later but travels faster). It's travelling away from the Sun at 12.24 kilometres per second (!) and will pass by a star in the Taurus constellation in about 2 million years.
