Not had enough GeForce4 news yet? Have some more from nVidia, nV Max, nV News and Bjorn3D.
Electronics giant Philips seems to be the only corporation fighting to allow people to copy CD's.
Sigma have a new REALmagic card which supports MPEG 4, thanks Scott. Our review of their Hollywood Plus DVD decoder card, which must be a couple of years old now, still draws a fair bit of traffic to the site.
Apparently Microsoft have been making recommendations to the Australian Government about IT industry policy, thanks Troy. The wide-ranging blueprint, released to the media at the same time as it was shown to the Government, caught Communications Minister Richard Alston by surprise and earned the company a rebuke.
LivePC have a video article about running Glow Wire from your PSU.
NeoSeeker have a roundup of 17 and 19 inch monitors.
Fellow Aussie site TechWatch have posted a thermal paste comparison.
Must be thermal paste day, 'coz Gyrotweak have put 9 thermal pastes to the test too.
Interesting vertical HDD's mod in Mikkaz's PCDB entry.
Draebor notes that NVMax, a popular video card tweaking program, has been updated again.
Apparently in Stockholm, people are running around like a real-life FPS, winning points by shooting each other with their mobile phones.
Sun Microsystems have announced broad support for Linux.
BlargOC have reviewed Gainward's "Golden Sample" GF3 Ti500 video card. We reviewed the non-Ti GF3 version here a few months ago and were very impressed.
x-bit have their monthly hardware digest for February 2002 posted, which is clever given we're not even halfway through the month yet.. ?
Xoverclocker have a Northwood P4 voltage mod translated from a Japanese site that lets you raise the vcore to a toasty 1.85v on boards that don't otherwise support voltage changing.
PCPowerZone have been making their own memory cooler, thanks Iroquois.
Seems the future of Kyro video chipsets may be grim, with ST Microelectronics deciding the PC graphics business is not where they want to be anymore. The technology is for sale, be interesting to see who picks it up, thanks Andrew.
ZeonX says he found Detonator 27.42 Beta drivers on an Italian site. I've lost track of which are the latest betas but if you've just gotta be on the bleeding edge and haven't tried those, there you go. If your PC (or head, or house, or cat) explodes, don't say I didn't warn you.
Reviews:
Everglide Bungee Crystal Pro err.. mousing surface apparently, on TweakTown.
Blizzard Z4 Watercooling Kit on IPKonfig.
Thermaltake Volcano 7 socket cooler on MikhailTech.
