GameSpot have a Half-Life 2 (p)review posted. Expect a whole pile of these over the next couple of days as the game is finally released.
Soyo are apparently quitting the motherboard business, focussing on other things. One of the first enthusiast boards I ever bought was their SY-6VBA-133, which had some quirks but served me well. We haven't seen much of Soyo in the Australian market for a few years now, though.
AMD's future CPUs won't follow the K naming scheme any more, it seems. Maybe they're concerned about consumers thinking a K9 CPU would be a bit of a dog.
Xbit looked at a new SATA HDD family from Western Digital, testing the 250GB model. They also compared two Acer TravelMate notebooks.
TrustedReviews compared two mobile chipsets: NVIDIA's GeForce Go 6800 and a pre-production sample of ATI's Mobility Radeon X800 (codenamed M28). Bit-Tech meanwhile pitted their GeForce 6800GT and Radeon X800 Pro against each other.
The ACCC has noticed some flaws in Telstra's argument that slashing broadband prices had promoted competition, thanks Sniper. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said some of Telstra's broadband rivals were actually making losses, but were doing so in order to build up their customer numbers.
This is a little old now, but apparently Microsoft have been sprung using pirate software to make the sound samples included with WindowsXP, thanks tjmc.
HardOCP had fun overclocking the A64 3200+ 90nm CPU recently.
Microsoft are leaving Itanium 2 in the cold, not supporting it in an upcoming Cluster Edition of Windows Server 2003.
Slashdot reported recently on a How Computers Work book that was written in 1971. For more blasts from the past, check out our Time Warp Computer Pricing article.
