Digit-Life checked out the recent AGP cards, which are probably the last major releases on that bus. GeCube RADEON X1300 256MB AGP, Sapphire RADEON X1300 256MB AGP, Sapphire RADEON X1600 PRO 256MB AGP, Leadtek WinFast A7800 GS TDH (GeForce 7800 GS) 256MB AGP.
A few interviews today: the CEO of Patriot Memory on XbitLabs, a Senior Product Manager at ATI on DriverHeaven and the CEO of Sapphire on Hexus.
HWSecrets have specs and info on all Pentium D CPUs and all Core Duo CPUs.
MadShrimps spent some time overclocking a Dothan 780 with liquid nitrogen. At -190°C you might be surprised how high you can overclock a CPU.
Bjorn3D built a silent media PC. It has to be easy to use for both me and my wife. She’s no idiot by any means (on the contrary), but she doesn’t see any reason to have to fight the box when all she wants to do is watch TV or a DVD. I tend to agree.
AgentVX spotted this supercomputer named Baker. It will run approximately 24,000 2.6 Ghz quad-core Opteron processors made by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The nodes will be housed in 187 liquid-cooled cabinets. Won't Ma Baker be proud!
SilentPCReview wonder which AMD and Intel processors offer the best power efficiency. In the process, we examined more than 15 processors from half a dozen family groups on six different test platforms, and took a stream of power measurements that kept our heads spinning for a couple of weeks.
TrustedReviews report from Semicon Europe about AMD's Socket AM2 and the 65nm manufacturing process. Semicon itself was completely boring, as all of the stalls were promoting the actual nuts and bolts that piece the semiconductor manufacturing industry together.
BonaFideReviews have an editorial musing about a possible Microsoft buyout of Sony. Will the next Playstation you purchase post-PS3 run a Microsoft operating system and have backwards compatibility for PS1 PS2 PS3 Xbox and Xbox360?
XbitLabs looked at three new cases from ASUS. ASUS never tried to experiment like that anymore, but focused on production of midrange cases, and this is in fact what the company’s current model range is like: mainstream PC cases priced a little higher than others because they sport an ASUS logo.
From Pugsley_21: Here’s a good timewaster and a good way to kill some stress. Basically you just shoot road signs with a shotgun, its called Redneck Roadsign Shooting Game. Hmm, think I'll stick to Trackmania. :)
