Seems an Aussie, one Vu Pham of Brisbane, won a GeForce3 card over on HardOCP. Congrats!

Sniper770 points out a quick note on TheInquirer, which claims that there's empty space on the die of AMD's "ClawHammer" processor - reserved for some serious future SMP technology.

On the other side of the barbed-wire fence, Intel's new Xeons are based on the P4 core. AnandTech reviewed the 1.7GHz part of this new line and even checked out a dual system. 17 pages in this one, some interesting stuff for sure, thanks leperMessiah.

Cary sent over some interesting info in response to our Chipset Cooler Roundup from a little while ago now - if you remember, the MOS Cu Extreme was the best and had a strange thermal pad included. He says: MOS may be way out in front on this one .... some metallic carbons and carbon fibers have a W/mk of around 2000 ... or ~six times better than silver and copper. One of the best is Pyrograph ... absolutely fantastic as a thermal interface material and goes for about $3 US / pound.

Here's a couple of silly pics for you, one from Bren, one from Tigger. :)
