Get Hump day started with a cup of coffee and the news...

First off, the TechZone look at the eight faces of Windows Vista For almost 20 years, Microsoft has followed Henry Ford's business model, giving users little choice in the "color" of their operating system. No pics though, we will have to take their word for it.

On the CPU front, TweakTown report on the Battle of the 64-bit Budget CPU - Sempron or Celeron?

AnandTech went a trade show recently and present some tasty tidbits on AMD's future developments.

There's some more info on AMD and the RevF model Opterons at CNet.

Well it's not really news...but apparently Google are planning world domination, no comment on whether that's a good thing or not.

According to Hexus, ATI have bought XGI. Does this mean my next card will be an ATI XGI X1900XT SLI GS? No wonder people don't understand us geeks... Phoronix has more information as well.

Meanwhile T-break have tested the new ATI Xpress 3200 Northbridge using two X1900XT cards. Not sure if they are using the model above though :-)

A quick bit of benching with a Nvidia GeForce 7900GTX 512MB and 7900GT 256MB on Daily Tech

Bjorn3d's chat with NVidia will be happening soon, check here for the details, it's on IRC and only relates to NVidia's chipsets, not GFX cards.

DriverHeaven have released the new version of the DHzer0point drivers, based on the 8360 official nVidia drivers.

Dan has taken the time to bring you, the reader, another bout of letters! In this issue: Data storage, junk mail, mercury down the sink, a quack, marvellous contrivances, and getting really really drunk. Responsibly of course!

In a strange twist, Hardware Secrets have let the truth about NiCd batteries out of the bag. There goes that secret.
