Sudhian wonder if Windows x64 is ready for prime-time yet. Everything worked as before except with the benefits of greater memory addressing - though Windows XP Professional x64 consumes a bit more memory than its 32-bit counterpart. How's the driver side of things going?
Anandtech checked out the Pentium D 805, a cheap dual-core option. Intel's ability to undercut AMD's pricing on dual core processors is not too difficult to understand. Until recently, AMD has only had a single plant producing 90nm processors on 200mm wafers, meaning that every dual core CPU they produce made a serious dent in the number of total CPUs they can produce.
Tweaktown compared AMD's FX-60 and X2 3800+ CPUs for gaming performance. We know now that the FX-60 is going to be the faster processor but what we want to have a look at how much extra performance we get, from such an expensive processor.
A recent study suggests that playing violent video games may affect how kids think. Regardless of whether they grew up in a violent environment, the researchers found, young men who had played the violent game were less cooperative and more competitive in completing an assigned task with another person, compared to those who played the Simpsons game.
TomsHardware looked at serial-attached SCSI components. To demonstrate SAS' potential, we took a look at the technology, host adapters, hard drives and storage appliances.
XbitLabs continue their PSU roundup, with 7 more models from A.C.Ryan, CoolerMaster, Sunbeamtech, Ultra and Zippy.
From Tim: The OCAU Battlefield2 GameArena Ladder Team (ranked #79) went into battle against G3TSOME (ranked #54) tonight at Mashtuur City. OCAU was too strong taking the match 235-0 as a result elevating OCAU to #54 on the ladder. Nice work!
