Sorry for the lack of news lately, been terribly busy working, I mean...playing WoW. ;) Also congrats to Agg and the lucky lady on their wedding yesterday!

OCIA.net has posted an article on Overclocking the Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64.

Hardware Analysis have been playing with the Pentium 4 660, and has clocked it at 5.2GHz, trying to beat AMD's Athlon 64 FX55.

From XtremeResources: Hot off the presses tonight at XtremeResources, our very own MrIcee has broken the barrier of HTT speed and stability and managed to hit an incredible 500Mhz HTT speed aboard the DFI UT LP NF4 SLI-D board. This speed has been achieved before, but this time it has been CPU-Z verified and validated. Check out the full article here.

AMD’s announcement in the fall of 2001 that the new “AthlonXP” processor would eschew a standard MHz clockspeed for a model-rating system drew an Internet-wide groan from enthusiast and technical communities alike. PR (Performance Rating)-centric systems had been tried before by both Cyrix and AMD, and had acquired a less-than-sterling reputation. Full story here.

Madhatter points out that Empire are have got a special on for the TV series - 24, the first two series at $34.95 each. Even I highly recommend you get these, I grabbed them off eBay and watched both seasons in one weekend. More info in this thread.

A few people sent in news about Billy receiving Honorary Knighthood.

Dan has more letters posted. In this issue: Laptop noise suppression, tacho wire repurposing, external drive options, centralised DC power, and the Book of the Dead (Groovy!).

Telstra are starting to get the VoIP ball rolling, they have launched a six-week trial of voice over internet protocol using up to two hundred Telstra staff in Melbourne.

Dual core processors are getting closer by the day, with Intel reporting that they will be rolling out Pentium D and Extreme Edition processors to replace the existing Pentium 4 processor.
