This week has been flying by..
Seems Sony have had to take their PS2's and go home from CeBIT, the consumer electronics show in Europe, thanks F1DarkFlash.
OCNZ have added some more sticks to their DDR SDRAM guide, for a total of 6.
Mods4Me have a guide to making a thermal probe cheaply.
Morpheus apparently does some sneaky browser tricks now, thanks FreeFrag.
Wow, a virtual keyboard.. very cool, thanks Wokket.
From Jeff McLuckie: it appears AMD have put out a second revision of the 760MPX Southbridge which addresses the USB problem which resulted in Mobo manufacturers either disabling or removing USB1.1 from their motherboards. We'll have to wait and see how long it takes for Asus,MSI and Tyan to update their boards to use the new southbridge and give us good old USB 1.1. PDF with info here.
Thank gawd the days of this kind of thing are long gone, thanks Borg.
AnandTech have their CeBIT Day 2 coverage posted.. this time it's CPUs, Cooling, Motherboards & Video but I know you guys aren't interested in any of that. :)
CeBIT info from DigitLife too, here and here.
From NextWish: oh dear.
I've had a few people email me lately with an obvious misconception.. they keep trying to correct my usage of the term "DDR SDRAM", claiming it's an oxymoron, that "DDR" and "SDRAM" can't be used to describe the same product. Not true! DDR memory and the older SDR memory are both SDRAM. SDRAM means "Synchronous Dynamic RAM" and refers to it having a separate clock signal (usually, but not always, at the CPU's FSB speed). SDR (Single Data Rate) and DDR (Double Data Rate) refer to how many control/data signals the RAM sends per clock signal - one for SDR and two (one on the rising edge of the clock signal, one on the falling) for DDR. Google if you don't believe me. :)
