You've probably already heard from the mainstream media, but Graeme "Shirley" Strachan of Skyhooks and more recently "Our House" fame died yesterday in a helicopter accident. More info here and here.
I made www.overclockers.com.au/vendors an alias for that "Online Vendors" listing in the forums. Bit easier to remember, but of course you need to be a forum member to view it.
Special greets to Stromlo High, a school in the ACT who are using their spare cycles to help our folding @ home team and powering up the ranks.. which of course benefits mankind too, hopefully! Some info in this thread in our Team OCAU forum.
Wired have a guide to setting up a Linux firewall.. just the thing for that old PC you built from bits lying around the house. Another popular solution is SmoothWall. On a similar note, the book "Firewalls and Internet Security : Foiling the Wily Hacker" is now available for download as .pdf - there's a thread about it here in our Networking & Internet forum, thanks Pleb.
Flight noticed this mobile graphics comparison of NVIDIA's GeForce2GO and ATI's Mobility Radeon. There's another review of the Mobility Radeon here on ComputerSource.
Dan's checked out some P4 motherboards that suck, or so he says. In the review, I look into why SDR-memory i845 is a big step, um, in some direction other than forward, for Intel, and push the relevant numbers around.
More news about Gateway's financial woes here (thanks Fad) and here, thanks ejhelgeson.
0verload notes this site in Singapore listing 1.1GHz Celerons.. don't remember hearing about those. Funny if Intel's "value" chip clocks higher than their "performance desktop" (P3) chip.. I guess the P4 is going to eclipse the P3 on the desktop soon enough.
Some stuff from Germany - they're organising a 4000-person LAN party (thanks Thomas) and some info on new 333MHz FSB Athlons. All in German, so you might want to stick this fish in your ear. I said, you might want to haften Sie diesen Fisch in Ihrem Ohr. Das hat Recht.
Tim put up a website about his modded case project. In the PCDB, there's a nice new one here from imweazel and some big bong action here from Rampage101.
JimX noticed this funny page of gameshow answers..
Remember, send your news to news@overclockers.com.au not to any of the news posters directly, sometimes gets lost/delayed that way.
