QuakeCon coverage continues on Bjorn3D with case mods on TweakTown. TechReport cover the new Fatal1ty mobo, some tidbits from AMD about future offerings, SLI mobo chipset info from NVIDIA and some chipset details from VIA.

Microsoft have delayed the automatic delivery of WinXP SP2 via Windows Update. They have a list of software that is affected by installing SP2. IBM meanwhile have instructed their people to not install it just yet.

Nanotechnology is apparently due for a funding boost with a lot of interested corporations. We expect 2004 to be the last year that governments outspend corporations on nanotechnology.

HWZ have an LGA775 DIY guide, if you're thinking of moving to this new P4 platform.

ActiveWin have pics and info on new Microsoft hardware on the way, including various mice and keyboards.

TechReport looked at how some older video cards fare in Doom3. I scoured the Benchmarking Sweatshop for cards, and with a little digging and dusting, I was able to come up with two GeForce4 Titaniums, two Radeon 8500 series cards, five GeForce FXs, six Radeon 9000-series cards, one Dustbuster, and even a Parhelia.

Iro spotted this (currently being slashdotted) product page for solid-state ATA/IDE drives, up to 155GB! Is this what we've all been waiting for? At $1000 USD per GB, maybe not quite.

FutureLooks have a wireless networking guide. I just ordered some "range extender" antennas for my wireless network. Hopefully I can work in the next paddock now!
