Interesting announcement from nVidia today, their nForce 415D chipset, spotted by Reaper. This is much the same as the 420D chipset used in the MSI K7N420 Pro I reviewed here a little while ago, with the same TwinBank memory architecture etc, but it doesn't have the integrated GF2 graphics. An overclocking-friendly motherboard using this new chipset and a RAID controller would be something to keep an eye out for.. more info here on AMDMB.

PCStats checked out some Titanium video cards from MSI.

With all the Mac excitement yesterday, Scott thought this page might be of interest, detailing how to overclock just about every Mac ever made, apparently. Also, wired reckon the image editing tools with the new iMac are a good thing.

There's a new version of Motherboard Monitor, just the thing for keeping an eye on temperatures, voltages and fan speeds.. thanks Peter.

VyW have a cool little article about reading the internal thermal diode present in palomino-cored AthlonXP and Duron CPU's. They construct a little gadget that plugs into the SMBUS port and reports the temperature to programs like MBM linked above.

Steven says there's a new program called PowerTools, which is a full set of tools to keep your computer and your LAN up and running.. cool.

There's a group buy of sorts happening in the forums, people are requesting expressions of interest in Shuttle's SV24 mini-PC. If you want one, let it be known in that thread.

Tony spotted this fast boot/resume tweak for WindowsXP.

Funny thing from Spectral.. make your own Oreilly Book cover.

Digit-Life have a comparison of the Intel Celeron 1.3/1.2 GHz and AMD Duron 1.2/1.1 GHz CPU's.

Hawk found some GeForce4 logos out there..
