ATI's weak point has historically been the drivers for their video cards. Recently, they announced their driver suite would be renamed "Catalyst".. hopefully indicating a re-focus by them on driver quality. They have become a single downloadable package, similar to nVIDIA's approach with their DetonatorXP drivers. Tech-Report take the latest few ATI driver versions for a spin to see if anything's changed. Tekbug have more info about them too. Ewat spotted the Radeon8500 WinXP version.. seems they're not quite as universal as DetonatorXP's.
nVidia meanwhile have announced a 3D-graphics language called Cg, which is aimed at making 3D graphics easier for people to create. Hexus have an interview with nVidia about it, while GameSpot have more info too.
Melbourne case-modders might want to get along to a gathering on 23rd June in Bentleigh. Apart from the usual modding action, there'll be a reporter from The Age interviewing people and photographing cases for an article. More details in that thread, take your powertools if you've got them or just the bits of your case you want modded if you don't have tools.
NeoSeeker have a High-End DDR SDRAM roundup posted.
Racerz spotted this new virus that, strangely enough, can infect .JPG image files.
Apparently GeekShelter have a guide to overclocking GeForce cards posted, but their domain doesn't resolve for me. Anyway, if you need that info you can get it in our own Overclocking using CoolBits article.
Seems the USA are not immune to similar broadband problems we have here.. new plans to stop leeching are on the way, thanks Tony.
TechnoYard have a competition where you can win stuff.. quite a lot of stuff on offer in fact, and they say: Due to excessive shipping cost, we have to limit this contest to users in Australia, and the US. Gotta be happy about that!
