OCAU News
Monday Morning (0 Comments) (link)

I hate April Fools day. :) Actually, we did have plans for a little something on OCAU but we didn't get it off the ground. From the number of gags I've been sent so far today I'm actually kinda glad about that now, most people seem to share my "urrgh, not again" sentiment. :) So, take everything you read today with a grain of salt, especially on overseas sites that may only just be entering April 1 now.

There's been another earthquake in Taiwan. Although there seems to be a lot of damage there are not many casualies - nowhere near as many as during the major quake they had in 1999 - so that's some small comfort.

Hellfire discovered that the films on BMWfilms.com have extra info in a second soundtrack - in that forum thread he explains how to listen to it. Those films are cool, lots of driving stunts etc. "Star" is my favourite. :)

Guru3D have updated their NVIDIA BIOS editor program, adding support for GF4MX. Be careful though, don't fool around with it if you don't know what you are doing or getting into!

Got a few unwanted AOL CD's lying around? Send them to these guys, who are going to save up a million of them then make our quest across America to give them all back to their rightful owner, AOL and say "stop doing this". Thanks BBQ_69 and FreeFrag.

Alex has a Ferrari PC. All products & bits I felt I needed were learnt from reading pages and reviews linked from your site to take me from complete novice to what you see here in my first project.. Cool. :)

Japanese mad lad Holicho has been playing with liquid nitrogen again, cracking 4GHz from a 2.4GHz P4.. of course, this news was sent in by a reader called Cryogenic. :)

From F1DarkFlash: AT&T invites you to download the new AT&T Privacy Bird software for free. This software will help Internet users stay informed about how information they provide to Web sites could be used. Seems to rely on the websites adhering to the P3P privacy standard, which I doubt the morally challenged will be doing.

Digit-Life have been busy, with articles about P4 Xeon HyperThreading, ATI @ CeBIT 2002 and OpenGL 2.0.

CoolerHut have a guide to hooking a switch up to your CMOS reset jumper.. handy if you're sick of fishing around on your motherboard after an over-enthusiastic overclocking effort.
