Gamespot have a Crysis Hands-On from E3 2007. This is the first time that a complete level has been playable to the press, so we were eager to get our grubby little hands on it.
Apparently net radio has a short reprieve, with new fees being held off while negotiations continue. Rogers says the parties may ax the per-song fee in favor of a revenue-sharing agreement, which would allow the music industry to benefit as Net radio's sales grow.
Dan has more letters, and ponders low voltage and multi-core CPUs. And is there any point to buying a single core CPU, in these days of cheap ultra-overclockable duals?
Tech Report ponder low-power CPUs too. In the wake of our Athlon X2 BE-2350 review, the folks at Intel contacted me with a challenge. We had tested AMD's new low-power processor with a motherboard based on the AMD 690G chipset and found the combination to be exceptionally power efficient. We had not, however, tested Core 2 Duo E4300 alongside Intel's G965 Express chipset, which also packs integrated graphics and a low power footprint.
XYZComputing have 10 reasons to buy a DS Lite, while Canonites have 10 reasons to buy a DSLR camera instead.
