Neoseeker is having a rather serious OCZ Giveaway, with a suped up OCZ GeForce3 card first price, an Iwill KK266/OCZ Gladiator/1.7GHz Athlon combo as second prize and 512Mb of OCZ 'Enhanced' PC150 SDRAM as third. Quite serious indeed. Of course, you need to sacrafice yourself to their forum database, and there are a few popup adds to contend with.. but that is a rather serious giveaway.
Redback has been musing over the design of the PS2 shell.. it's strikingly similar to the Atari MicroBox.. hmm, maybe Sony have some explaining to do ?
I noticed this rather helpful thread explaining just what, exactly, folding@home does. Also on the subject of forum threads, I started this poll to find out how many people have had IBM GXP series hard drives fail. I understand that some may see it as defecient in that I don't have a poll option to say "I have a GXP and it's fine", but my intention isn't to find out how many are fine, it's to find out how many are dead. Meanwhile in the PCDB, SusanK has uploaded pics of his/her(?) swanking looking silver case.
tn1 points out that this month is the 10th birthday of the Linux Kernel.. it was 10 years ago this month that a 21-year-old Linus Torvalds sent an e-mail to the open-source software community saying an experimental version of the Linux kernel, the core technology that would end up embodied in Linux operating systems, was up and running.
Things are looking up for ATi, the manufacturer behind the Raedon chipsets. ATi is quite like the late 3dfx or the still-kicking Matrox in that they produce their own cards in house.. unline nVidia which just produces the chipset and a reference design. Obviously the nVidia method works best, and ATi seems to of caught on.. they will be outsourcing some board manufacture to budget mobo company DFI.
Finally (for now), AusGamers hardware have reviewed the Hercules KyroII video card. Go and check it out, ReaX wants you to :)
More in a bit, need to cook dinner..
