HotHardware have a bunch of GeForce3 screenshots taken within Dronez and AquaNox, two new gaming engines which presumably have been written to take advantage of that new graphics chip.

PCScoop have a cooler roundup. This isn't super-new but it's fairly interesting, thanks Paul.

VooDoo points out that Microsoft have shelved the subscription model for OfficeXP, in the US anyway.

Digit-Life have a video card comparison, but not the usual screaming-3d-benchmarks kind. This time they are seeing how offerings from the big 4 fare in 3D Studio Max, a rendering program which has very different requirements to 3D gaming.

Apparently Philips will be selling a DVD Video Recorder in Australia by the end of the year, thanks Gary_J.

Bob wanted to show off his water-cooling project, nice home-made system, he spent some time experimenting with oil as a coolant too.

OCAddiction have a guide to lapping chipsets.. an unusual technique here. Compare my celly sanding article from aeons ago here.

Monday morning here means Sunday night in Russia which means another issue of ZZZ Online.. bring on the flying cars!

VIA have sent more info around on their promotional Q3 map. We got the file last night but were told not to distribute it yet. However TweakTown have some screenshots and AcidHW have a demo of it posted. Anyway, impressive looking for sure but it's a monster apparently, bringing all but the most firebreathing systems to their knees!
