Here's an interesting egyptian-themed PC in the PCDB.
ARP recently attended a Seagate technology briefing in Malaysia. 400 Petabytes of email have been sent out in 2004 and Apple alone shipped 4 Petabytes of iTunes music files in 2004. Seagate is meeting the demands of this industry by expanding its storage capacity.
In case you missed the recent storm of articles and reviews, PCStats have a GeForce 7800 GTX primer for you. The GeForce 7800GTX chipset has a simple purpose; to catapult nVidia back onto the 'fastest, most expensive videocard' throne.
3DAvenue looked at the GeForce 7800GTX in SLi, while Anandtech have updated their BF2 GPU performance comparison with GeForce 6800GT and Radeon X800XL numbers.
Could Rambus be clawing their way back out of the grave? Xbit report on Rambus XDR2 memory. The firm believes its new memory technology will be used in devices requiring "extreme memory bandwidth" and will run at 8GHz.
IBM have entered the dual-core fray with a new CPU announcement. The PowerPC 970MP is a dual-core version of the PowerPC 970FX, which is commonly found in Macintosh computers running G5 processors.
Sudhian have published the second half of their thoughts on the Intel-AMD lawsuit. My goal here is to explore first the evidence that supports AMD’s position; second, to discuss why winning this lawsuit against Intel could only set AMD up for its own worst failure.
XbitLabs compared SATA and USB2.0 for external hard disk enclosures. You may guess that SATA is better, but I don’t think you know how much better it can be.
ExtremeTech compared a pile of S939 A64 motherboards.. nine in total.
eCoustics have a quickish guide to detecting hard drive problems before they fail.
LinuxHardware compared the latest high-end CPUs, naturally enough under Linux. What we chose to look at is each manufacturer's top enthusiast CPU, their top dual-core CPU, and their top mainstream CPU. On AMD's side this equals the Athlon 64 FX-57, Athlon 64 4800+, and Athlon 64 4000+ respectively. On Intel's side this equals the Pentium Extreme Edition 840, Pentium D 840, and Pentium 4 670 respectively.
