OK, making another news post from work - I hope this one doesn't take as long as yesterday's double attempt...
Yesterday, I posted a news item about a new distributed computing project, called United Devices. DaRkDwArF wrote to me today, to let me know that he has created an Overclockers Australia team to process UD data - you can check how they're going, and join the team, on this page.
If you're one of many people mourning the fact that the Coolbits hack doesn't seem to work with the nVidia 12.41 Detonator drivers, WildAndyC has given you reason to rejoice - check his Coolbits re-activation page, and be saved!
OCWorkBench think they have sussed out how to tell the difference between the Intel Coppermine-T and Tualatin processors. They are also reporting that Intel have announced the official name for the mobile version of the Tualatin processor - "Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor-M", apparently to compete head-on with AMD's "Mobile Athlon 4". Personally, I think "Mobile Athlon 4" is a better name, at least from a marketing point of view. OCWorkBench have more info up on their main page.
Adrian, from Adrian's Rojack Pot, wrote to tell us that the ever-changing BIOS Optimisation Section on his site has been supplemented with a guide specific to "Features" section in most BIOSs.
Beannie from Tech Planet dropped us a line, pointing out a rather funny page of examples of mixed-up computer terms. The scary thing is, I recognise quite a few of them - I've worked in Computer Support for 5+ years now...
Some of you may be old enough to remember when NEC, and not Sony, made what where considered by most to be the best monitors you could buy. Well, while Sony may currently hold the top place for manufacturing CRT screens, it appears that NEC have leapt ahead in the Plasma Monitor arena - and are currently producing a 61-inch plasma monitor - they're actually the first to mass-produce such a screen of this size. Speaking of companies considered to be leaders in their class, it appears that the US Army (no, that's not who I meant as a leader in their class) have ordered a 16-processor Cray SV1 server. No price has been released, but I don't think you order a Cray supercomputer if you're on a tight budget...
