Wayne sent word of a AU$4.7 billion broadband blitz pledged by Kevin Rudd. However there is some opposition to the idea. Labor's proposal to deliver high-speed broadband services to 98 per cent of Australians would be funded partly from the government's Future Fund, set up to pay for public servants' superannuation.
SharkyExtreme have updated their Monthly Extreme Gaming PC Buyer's Guide, one of the few on the net that hasn't simply turned into a shopping affiliate link farm. Or check out the Gaming Machine guide in our Wiki.
My mind is boggling at this amazing model aircraft carrier built from scratch. The effort Gabe put into it in 19 years, it's just something that is close the the limits a single modeler can achieve.
Tweaktown compared 640MB vs 1280MB in SLI. With in excess of 1.2GB of memory on offer when the 640MB cards are enabled in SLI mode, you have to wonder are we simply at a point of overkill. Are the 640MB cards for non-SLI and the 320MB cards for SLI? These are some of the questions we hope to answer today.
From Joanna: Reading about the ways people could liven up powerpoint slides reminded me of this. Basically, inside the brush is a small camera, so you can paint with the textures (and movement) picked up with the camera. There's some videos on the site showing how it can be used. Neato!
BenchmarkReviews have a guide to overclocking your GeForce 8800 using ATITool. To begin the overclocking process, I start by raising the temperature of the GPU core by using the "Show 3D View" button to display a rotating fuzzy cube.
Lyle pointed out Envador.com, home to a prolific modder and his many projects. What happens to a mod after its 15 minutes of fame? It gets gutted and the parts get re-used for other mods. If it's lucky, the latest mod could become my daily-use computer for a few months.
Von Stalheim spotted someone who really doesn't like Vista. Upgrading to Windows Vista has been banned by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), technology giant Texas Instruments and other corporations and government agencies. We'll have an article from waynekruse soon with his experiences in Vista.
LegionHW looked at DDR2 memory latency performance. Therefore the DDR2-800 memory was tested with CAS 3-3-3-8 T1, CAS 4-4-4-12 T1, CAS 4-4-4-12 T2, CAS 5-5-5-15 T2 and even CAS 6-6-6-18 T2 timings. This time all the testing was done on the ASUS Striker Extreme which uses the Nvidia nForce 680i SLI chipset with the Core 2 Duo E6700 processor clock at its default operating frequency.
