Reports abound of Dell and AMD becoming friendlier than in the past. We've seen this slowly happening with Dell buying Alienware, a big AMD customer, and recently stating they will use Opterons in their servers.

TechFEAR have some points from John Carmack's recent QuakeCon 2006 speech. Here is a minimalist approach to a his keynote speech; we’ve tried to trim it down to six major points and attempted to coral the verbosity that Carmack is famous for into smaller, more manageable chunks.

Speaking of which, XbitLabs ran a few games on a few video cards. Today X-bit Labs will take a real close look at a number of latest gaming titles and the performance of all contemporary graphics cards in them.
LostCircuits compared some low-power CPUs, with Intel Core2 Duo vs. AMD X2-3800+ and 4600+. At the end of the day, there is one clear winner in this roundup which surpassed our wildest expectations - guess which one....
