Motherboards.org compared the Celeron and Sempr0n "value" CPUs, while TrustedReviews looked at HyperMemory and TurboCache, as seen on lower-end video cards. They also compared two digital pens.

SimpleSam sent in this very cool Deep Space slideshow, full of amazing pictures of galaxies etc. Probably very painful on dialup.

AMDBoard have info about the end of S754 A64s. AMD also encouraged resellers to push socket 939 Athlon 64 instead, insisting on the larger bandwidth, lower consumption and dual-core compatibility of the latter.

Quadbox noticed this clock screensaver.. I like the "timeline" one.

THG report on nanotechnology being used to improve thin displays in quality and performance. According to the research firm, nanotechnology could replace a current set of compromises consumers have to make when purchasing devices with screens.

LegionHardware have an nForce4 SLI roundup, covering four motherboards. PCModdingMy meanwhile compared Speed-Pad and maXXpad mousepads, while DriverHeaven looked at the Zalman CNPS7700-CU and Arctic Cooling A64 Freezer CPU coolers.

Another odd but interesting link from Raven: this time it's the infinite cat project. If you're lost, here's the first cat, click "Next Cat" a few times to see what's going on.

Digit-Life noticed that there are five Intel processors at 2.8GHz for S478, and set out to compare them all. They are the "new" and the "old" Celeron CPUs, Pentium 4 (Northwood core), and two Pentium 4 processors (Prescott core).

How's this for cool? Rainbow lasers, thanks Timbot.

Microsoft's "Windows Hardware Engineering Conference" or WinHEC 2005 was on recently, with coverage from TechReport and AnandTech.

Finally, TheInq report on PR stunts and one-upmanship from AMD and Intel at WinHEC. So, there was Intel on day one with an F1 car, and AMD without one! Aaaargh, a breach in the front lines, hide the women and children. In a move sure to make Fedex stockholders happy, up popped an AMD F1 car the next day. Ha! Take that.
