Finding out that when your lease is up you have to move house is fun, especially during exam block. Finding a house for four to five uni students that has cable, is close-ish to UQ, has room for four double beds and over 500 bottles of beer is not as much fun. Especially in exam block. You can tell I'm overjoyed, can't you?
TheInq has a little benchies of the upcoming Intel i845 DDR chipset. This will be the VIA P4X266's big competitor, and board makers have heralded the i845 PC133 chipset as a BX-beater, so it'll be interesting to see how the retail boards go.
Also on TheInq is news of Cisco's Q1 2001 profits.. a cool $268 million. Oh wait up, did I say profits? I meant loss.. sorry. According to TheInq that "met expectations". Owch.
If that list of file extensions I posted the other day wasn't comprehensive enough for you, Daniel points out this searchable database.
Anthony points out that a new version of Motherboard Monitor 5 has been released, being 5.1.0.1. It's only a bug fix release tho, so if you're bandwidth impaired and not noticing any issues you can save yourself a few mb.
Shane points out that Rapid Progression will be attempting to smash the record for the largest LAN in Australia by holding a 700+ person LAN in Melbourne on.. New Years Eve. I s'pose you really know you're a geek when you spend NYE playing CS with 699 other geeks.
Dan has checked out four new Lian-Li cases.. not totally new, just different coloured versions of existing models and that sort of thing. He also notes the prices for cases has dropped a bit from his review supplier, making them cheaper (if still pretty expensive) buying.
If the web archive made you a bit nostalgic Nigel conveniently points out the obsolete computer museum. You can go and oogle at all sorts of old school computing equipment. Most of it is truly ancient gear tho, nothing close to a 286 is there. Incidentally, if poking around the web archive has made you all nostalgic poking through our news archive and article list can provide with you like gems like this: How does $290 for a 128 meg PC133 DIMM with a lifetime warranty sound? Yes, I too was incredulous.
