Well, I'm back doing news, so... er... yeah. News. Here it is.
First up, a press release from ABIT, introducing the new KG7-RAID motherboard. Looks very sweet. Just another thing I want to own. Thanks to Rickbisho. (via Alchemy :)
ATI TRUEFORM Technology: Apparently the curve is the beautiful distance between two points. Well, whatever bakes your brownies I guess. Interesting arcticle about the maths behind 3D graphics relating to the TRUEFORM technology, but straight over my head. Maths and I don't get along. Some more TRUEFORM information for yas. Thanks Agg, you wonderful person you. *ahem*
Still on ATI, they've opened up a full range of their technologies to high-volume board makers, so says this email in front of me.
Itanium's aren't out yet, but it seems that Dell is ready to sell them. 64 bit. My nipples are tingling already...
...and they've just gone into overload as SGI launches their new 64-bit workstation. Yummy.
Sick of using both your hands while typing? Tired of having to respond with both hands to your cybersex partner? Well now you can can do it all with the wonderous new Matias Half Keyboard! This actually looks rather interesting, I'd give it a go, although it wouldn't be as satisfying to bash away on while you're flaming someone. It'd be like trying to slam the phone down on a mobile.
More neat stuff to buy: (like all the stuff we EVER talk about), a 16 hour laptop battery. Doesn't make me breathless, but still, that's pretty neat.
How to run a temp probe under the core of your cpu. With the help of a Dremel. Of course.
Here's a neat little converter program, that covers a whole range of categories, including volume, temperature and thermal conductivity. Could be useful to someone, thanks to Imitation.
Trident *shudder* and ALi are going to be producing the world's first DDR/SDR based "Integrated 3D Graphics Core Logic Notebook Solution", good for them. Thanks to Wokket.
With phrases like "fast-paced intercity and commuter rail action" and "...brings the power and excitement of some of the world's most famous trains to your PC...", I can't really take Microsoft Train Simulation seriously at all, I keep getting the giggles thinking about it. Looks pretty though, and that's all that matters. Oh, anyway, it's gone gold, so look for it in stores soon. *snigger*
According to this article in The Inquirer, Microsoft is going to stop certain versions of Windows XP from running with multiple CPU's. AMD will be releasing a cheap SMP solution nearer to the end of the year, but if MS doesn't play nice and give us what we want for cheap, looks like we'll all have to go to an OS that does. :) Thanks to Sniper770 for the info.
