Bit-Tech have a X1900 GT face-off between Connect3D and Sapphire. The GeForce 7900 GT is a very good overclocker, while the Radeon X1900GT looks to be a bit of a mixed bag at the moment. If you're looking to overclock, we feel that the GeForce 7900 GT is the better deal if you find one at a good price.
TomsHardware got their Pentium D 805 to 4.1GHz, thanks Darren. We were quite amazed as the first performance figures emerged from our test labs: stable operation was possible at 4.1 GHz, and without even the need for substantial boosts to cooling!
Dan has more letters and five funky gadgets he thinks you might like.
Bigiain spotted this interesting article about fly-by-wire technology working its way onto motorcycles. Now the computer knows where the bike is, how far over it is leaned and what its state of acceleration or braking is. But even this is not enough, for every corner has camber that varies, surface grip that varies and possibly change-of-elevation, too, as in Laguna Seca's famed Corkscrew.
ArsTechnia report on a partnership between Warner Brothers and BitTorrent to provide downloadable movies on the internet. "We've always known peer-to-peer technology represents a huge opportunity for us," said Kevin Tsujihara, the head of Warner's entertainment operations. Though some might be inclined to doubt the sincerity of this statement, the collaboration with BitTorrent is not Warner's first P2P venture.
1up.com have an article on The Best Worst Ads for video games, thanks Aaron. Between their horrified expressions and his rictus grin there's clearly a story here that's waiting to be told, if only we were brave enough to hear it.
A timewaster from Pugsley_21: Not just one game this, but a whole herd of incredibly simple games. The twist is you have just four seconds to complete each one. Intense! It is pretty cool, but I was distracted by the Yahoo ad for "Mormon Sexy Girls". WTF?
