AMD's CEO expects higher profits this year. Hmm, with SMP and mobile products being announced this year that's not too surprising..
Speaking of which, they announced their 1.4GHz Athlon part yesterday. This is most likely the last Thunderbird-cored Athlon - the next desktop chips will be Palomino-based. This follows hot on the heels of their AthlonMP - the first Palomino-cored chips - for SMP use in workstations and servers. We gave you the world's first decent look at a dual AthlonMP system right here on OCAU.
Max3D updated their SocketA Cooler Roundup.
Online banking, online weddings, cybersex.. no need to leave your PC at all these days. The Pope says there's at least one thing you can't do online though, if you're inclined to do it at all. He's such a spoilsport.
James's experience with the 1005 A7V133 BIOS wasn't entirely rosy: Tried the new BIOS after the post on OCAU, and have found what appears to be a major problem with it - so I am just letting you know so you can pass it on. Under Windows 2000, the standby support appears to be broken. The machine will go to standby happily, but just boots through a normal power-up again when woken up again. Dropping back to version 1004 of the BIOS solves the issues.
Coldfusion says: You can get cheap neons from Clints Crazy Bargains - those discount shops all over Australia. In the Auto section they have them for $19.95AUD or $24.95AUD. It comes with 1M long cable. So I cut it and converted. This save you a lot of money from those Expensive Neon light on the web..
At Computex, the balloon conflict has escalated into a full-scale war apparently - Intel even calling the police at one point to get VIA balloons removed?! Bizarre.
Sacrifice spotted this info on the NVIDIA nForce chipsets on Achieva's site.
