Bit-Tech took a look at DisplayPort. I think a lot of that comes from people not understanding exactly what DisplayPort is all about, other than a reason to get more money out of consumers. DVI is just fine, right? And HDMI is DVI’s replacement, isn’t it? These are a couple of the common questions I’ve seen crop up since the DisplayPort 1.1 specification was approved by VESA back in April this year.
TechNibble have a Computer Repair Kit in free software. The Computer Repair Utility Kit allows you to run all of the repair tools from your portable drive (eg. USB Flash Drive, External Hard Drive, IPod etc.) and comes with an easy to use, right-click menu. A must in any technicians kit.
Gazob sent a very long and complicated email, the crux of which is "check out Project Torque. it's a fun addictive driving game." :) Thread discussing it here.
There's a nice project over on Bit-Tech, called Dark Blade. Dark Blade was started in the autumn of 2004, though construction wasn't finished until the end of 2006. Initially, the case mod was going to be a simple evolution of one of my previous mods, the "G69T Classic." All I had wanted to do was add a new module (Water Station) positioned under the previous system.
From IntelInside: TechConnect have some pics of GIGABYTE's upcoming X48 based "GA-X48-DQ6" motherboard with DDR2 memory support. The X48-DQ6 has 'official' support for the 1600 MHz FSB and should arrive by the end of the year. He also notes Intel have listed details of their DX38BT Motherboard, which uses the IntelR X38 Express Chipset.
From AG: for all those folk out there interested in/upgrading to OSX leopard comes this warning on whirlpool. it only applies to those using Virgin Mobile Broadband but if you've an Imac or macbook of any sort and you want to get your mobile internet on and you just upgraded to the new OS you may be out of luck til a firmware patch gets rolled out. the regular Broadband @ Home product (VBB) apparently doesnt have this problem.
NordicHW have some news about CrossFire from Diamond. In a document supplied to us we can now inform you about the next step for Diamond; xDNA. xDNA is a platform that enables you to run a CrossFire setup on any chipset, and that includes NVIDIA chipsets. You can pick pretty much any motherboard with any socket, fit it with two Diamond Radeon cards and run CrossFire on it using Diamond's xDNA technology.
Craig spotted this accelerometer-based mouse project. This project demonstrates the use of a accelerometer as a computer mouse, but first what is an accelerometer? Its a device that can measure acceleration and the pull of gravity.
HWZone have posted some CPU performance charts. It has been a year since our last CPU performance recap and with the imminent launch of a new wave of processors, there's no better time than now to roundup the performance of all desktop processors. So in this massive comparison article, we've 18 processors from the Intel and AMD with nearly 400 results put together.
Matt sent in this timewaster: Mass Attack over on CrazyMonkeyGames.
