GideonTech have an article on powering up an ATX PSU without using a motherboard. Handy if you're using one to run peltiers or wotnot.
From Menizzy, the top 15 computer nerd alcoholic beverages... hmm, sunday night geek humour.
CNET have an article on the Code Red panic, thanks Sonic. Also, an article on life after Napster, discussing how big corporations can make zillions of dollars flogging music online. Reader comments on that one are interesting..
OCOpolis have an old vs new thing happening with HDD's.. spoiler: the new one's faster. sorry.
ARP have updated their BIOS Guide yet again.. good if you're wondering what all those mysterious settings mean.
Rob points out this Scientific American article on Do-It-Yourself Supercomputers, Beowulf and the like.
Darmok noticed an article on a new bus technology likely to become PCI 3.0.
There's an OpenSource, multiplatform answer to DirectX, namely SDL. It's being ported on everything from Macs to BeOS to the PS2.. interesting, thanks Kyocera.
Radeonic have an optimization guide for, surprisingly enough, ATI Radeon cards.
Digit-Life have a quick article about how Intel's failure to consistently hit 0.13 microns is at least partly due to supplier problems.
If you're into flightsims, Rich reckons you should check out Warbirds III, an online multiplayer one. It's a free download of 80 megs - and you can play for free during August.
ExtremePC.UK have a guide to system tweaking. Containing such gems of wisdom as overclocking is seen as an unnecessary risk and An example of overclocking is running your 800MHz processor at 1000MHz. The 25% increase in CPU speed would obviously be a massive boost; on the other hand it will be much more unstable than running it at the standard speed. It will also void any warranty you have on the part if it breaks as a result.. Yes.. very "ExtremePC"..
(deep breath) They've found bugs in space but don't know if they're going up or down. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (wrote Sherlock Holmes) may have murdered another writer and stolen his ideas. Swimming with hippos is a bad idea, while a sea monster has washed up in Canada. A programmer who thinks he's a tiger wants a fur graft. All from Wokket, duh.
Reviews: LinkSys Phone Networking kit on Digit-Life. Soyo K7V Dragon socketA DDR motherboard on SocketA.
