The Australian Government is targeting "cyber crime", according to the Attorney-General. The Australian Government has allocated $73.6 million in this year’s Budget for a range of e-security initiatives under the E-Security National Agenda, which includes increased resources to help the Australian Federal Police combat cyber-crime and strengthening government systems to increase the security of information provided by the Australian public. Other projects include initiatives to raise awareness of e-security among home users and small business and the expansion of the national and international e-security exercise program.

Bit-Tech have been overclocking the Q6600 CPU (as has everyone else). Getting flagship performance out of the XP 2500+ was as simple as increasing the front side bus from 166MHz to 200MHz – virtually every processor did that on stock volts. I think we’re going to see something similar with the Core 2 Quad Q6600 – it shares the same multiplier as the Core 2 Extreme QX6850, but uses a 1066MHz front side bus instead of 1333MHz.
