HWSecrets toured the ABIT factory in SuZhou, China. Built in 1999, this factory is in charge of manufacturing all ABIT products. Before this factory was built ABIT products were manufactured in an old ABIT factory in Taiwan, which no longer exists.
FiringSquad have a roundup of 19" LCD Monitors. Of course, the monitor review has FiringSquad’s unique colorimetry analysis and we find a $350 monitor that ends up outperforming a $600 one.
TheTechZone are the latest to publish their thoughts on the Apple-Intel deal. Apple agreed to switch from processors made by IBM to special processors made from Intel over the next two years - that's it. This is only slightly more significant than Apple choosing to change the hard disk or memory supplier it puts into its computers.
Hexus have an article about Catalyst drivers for ATI cards. Catalyst now includes full support for Windows 64-bit Edition and, as an acknowledgement of a growing number of users, there’s a Linux installer to simplify things for the penguin lovers.
Ambush spotted a story about an Eurofighter beating two F-15's in a recent mock battle. For a project 10 years late and $8bn over budget, it is a welcome piece of good news.
Nick sent word that Microsoft have their own p2p program on the way, called Avalanche. Such systems can scale well to serve millions of users, and reduce the bandwidth and computing costs of sending content directly to users from central servers.
Phoronix looked at the Linux drivers for XGI video cards and weren't too impressed. If XGI Technology really wishes to become competitive with ATI and NVIDIA, they seriously need to address the problems with their drivers on all platforms.
From Leon: From Japan again, the AMD-X2's had a fancy launch. Cant be bothered translating so today you just get to look at the pictures, wow at that heatsink! Also AMD Japans president David Uze made a speech about something. Check the comments later for details.
SGOverclockers checked out the memory controllers in Venice & Winchester A64 chips. The main difference between the two is that the Venice core CPUs feature an improved Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) process, the addition of the SSE3 instruction set and supposed memory tweaks to the on die memory controller.
HWSecrets also have a memory overclocking guide. There are two tricks in order to achieve a higher overclocking level: raising the memory voltage and playing with the memory timings.
