I've been away for most of this week.. thanks to Cryogenic, Darkness and aftahours for keeping the news flowing, Chainbolt and Sciby for making the quad-core article happen and Manaz for fixing the database server when it fell over yesterday!
Very short notice, but apparently there's a walk against warming on today around Australia, thanks RnR. How about participating in a peaceful march thats being organised around the country. Walk Against Warming is a chance for Australia's citizens to show all tiers of government that Global Warming is of concern and greater efforts should be made to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
DriverHeaven have a 975X mobo roundup posted. The DFI offering is a reasonably basic affair with a bios that should appeal to the enthusiast where as Abit throw in everything that a consumer should ever need (and then some). Let’s take a look to see how they both compare to a recent revision of the D975XBX.
TechReport meanwhile explore EAX with some onboard audio solutions. So, we've rounded up a couple of nearly identical motherboards with Analog Devices and Realtek codecs to see how they handle EAX positional 3D audio, with conclusive results.
Marc sent word of an Australian blogging site that seems to have incurred Telstra's wrath for being a named too similarly to one of their products.
TechSpot compared the Radeon X1650 Pro and GeForce 7600 GS on the PCI-e platform. You can see what I thought of the 7600 GS on the AGP side of things here.
TweakTown looked at three HDMI video cards on an LCD TV. True AV hardware has been using high-definition component and HDMI technology for some time, while the best that HTPC’s could manage was S-Video. So the options have been to either get a TV which could take RBG/DVI inputs, or put up with a lower quality video signal. Luckily, graphics card manufacturers have addressed this imbalance, with new units hitting the market which support high-definition HDMI standards.
From mpot: In Thursday morning's news, some comments were made about IE7 putting an end to phishing. However, there's another side to the anti-phishing functionality in IE7, as legitimate sites could get wrongly tagged as a phishing site, as discussed at http://phishedout.com.
Dan has more letters. Pointless upgrades, heat photography, camera buttons, dicing with death, large print monitors, magic motors, two failed advertising inquiries, and we're all going to die.
