Right, lets see if I can clear out the backlog in the news box.. been caught up in a bunch of other stuff these last few days.
A few reviews of the new AMD Morgan 1GHz.. this is, as mentioned earlier, the new Duron core. Info here on Tech-Report, here on Hexus, here on TomsHardware, here on FlingingSquids.. and no doubt more to come.
AnandTech surprisingly don't have a 1GHz Duron article up, but they do have a SocketA Chipset Roundup..
If you're after GeForce3 reviews you can find a heap here, thanks Mike.
Hellfire noticed this review that uses PC Neon stuff on light up a toilet.. no, really. If that's not bad enough, soon there may be even more flashy lights on your PC. Dan would be proud.
There's rumours flying around (here for example, thanks Troy), that the GF3U and GF3MX will be released soon (Friday 24), but NVIDIA are flatly denying it. The 3 places I've seen the rumours are all using the same text, so I guess it all came from the same place (wherever or whoever that was). Doesn't mean it's not true tho, of course.
Hmm, wonder if I can squeeze this radiator into my case.. from who else but The Riceman himself, Alchemy (update: apparently Spectral found it, okey dokey.)
Speaking of cars, Jeff has a guide on how NOT to paint one.. nice shirt btw. :)
Guru3D compared a couple of coolers, the Thermalright SK6 vs The Core.
DDRZone have an article up about one of their monster PC's.
Soc noticed this nonfree service which can send Windows alerts to your mobile via SMS..
Nice to see Abit giving up any pretense of not supporting overclocking. There are some goodies on the way here from Abit actually..
We've seen this before but it's not a bad little project, converting a filing cabinet into a file server.
Turns out hotmail has security holes.. who woulda thought. I guess you get what you pay for.. thanks Nigel.
Digit-Life have posted their monthly Storage Digest for July.
Some nicely tricked out boxes from Mikeling, Cascaman and Sunflower in the PCDB.
In a surprise move, Palm Inc has acquired BeOS. They are doing a survey of the community to gauge the need for support/development of BeOS - so if you're a fan of this "alternative" operating system, stand up and Be counted!
JimX points out this fix for fuzzy nvidia-based video cards. It's the RF filter mod we've seen before, but lots of info on this page. Newer cards down the bottom.
AOL are axing jobs too, thanks Sniper770.
Wokket notes that computers are turning us into zombies.. but he was just lulling us into a false sense of security before hitting us with the concept of a naked Bill Clinton picture book.. egad.
