Well here I am again and would you look at the time, no wonder my sleeping patterns are outa whack. But without further delay, here's the news!
First off Tweakers Asylum have a review of the Inno3D GeForce4 MX 440. "A The Inno3D Tornado GeForce4 MX 440 is angled as a value gamer card. But I found the performance and overall use to be crisp, clean and very impressive. Being an MX card I did not have high hopes in way of performance or features"
The Guru of 3D has posted a massive Detonator driver performance overview with all recent Detonator releases included. Spanning around 276 tests, the benchmarks were done in combination with a GeForce3 Ti500 and WindowsXP. Included in this first test run are detonators: 20.80, 21.81, 21.83, 21.85, 21.88, 22.40, 22.50, 22.80, 23.11, 23.12, 26.25, 26.53, 27.00, 27.10, 27.20, 27.23, 27.30, 27.42, 27.50, 27.51, 27.52, 27.70 and 28.32.
Also they have just received a new version of Ray's BIOS editor which is now build 221. The new version fixed some problems with build200 and GF4MX, and made some improvements for support GF4MX BIOS' and new GF4 Ti BIOS' which have new NVIDIA Control block location. Thanks Hilbert from Guru3D.com for all that.
Chay sends in a link to a site allowing you to access your POP3 mail through a web interface. He goes on to say it is better than the previous one we linked with other options like secure login and access to IMAP mail. Might be worth checking out of your on the road a lot.
3DAvenue have an article on Online gaming wars: Consoles to take the PC's final feature? Thanks Nathan.
Well it turns out that we may have a resident OCAU'er on big brother! "...I'm an avid reader an user of the site and my second cousin Damian is on Big Brother. Hoping I might drum up some support and votes to keep him on there..." Well although I'm not a fan, he would get my vote to stay or as B5lurker suggested, we should send him an OCAU t-shirt. Thanks Thingy.
GreenJifa.Com have a nice review of ATI's Radeon 8500 64mb. Here's a funny snip: "If I could pick a piece of hardware to turn into a woman and bare my children, it would, without a doubt, be the Radeon 8500. Although, I may just be getting influenced by the hot 3D girl in the reviewer's guide." They also have reviewed the eVGA e-GeForce4
EXHardware has reviewed the Shuttle SV24 Mini Barebone system, The Shuttle SV24 is an amazing little unit that comes in an aluminum case with a whole bunch of features built into it's compact dimensions. "From the extensive list of features above, it's clear that Shuttle designed the SV24 as an all-in-one system."
Are you an online gamer? If so Viper Lair may have a mouse technique to give you the edge, Mouse Skatez!
VR-Zone has done up a review on the AOpen AK77-333 board based on the VIA KT333CE chipset.
FoderMe sends a handy large linux command reference page.
TweakTown have a review of the Enermax 710B black steel case. Here's a snip: "Since 1989, Enermax have been known for producing their high quality range of power supplies and case fans. Sometimes not as highlighted are their cases, which are equally as impressive in their own right."
B5lurker told me earlier there is a new Folding@home2 protein out, 602_BBAW_hairpin, which seems to be hammering along at around 38 seconds a frame on his Athlon XP 1600+ linux box. Of course if that all means nothing, maybe you should check out our folding page and join up. :)
Well, it seems to be my trade mark sign off at the moment, none other that flash games or in this case... a giant cursor loving rabbit Quick little bugger too. Thanks groomy.
