Lombers has whipped up some KR7A, KX7 & AT7 modified BIOSes, which enable some hidden BIOS options and have a newer RAID BIOS inside, etc. Check out the details in that thread in our AMD Hardware forum.
One of the biggest local concerns regarding the WorldCom bankruptcy is that they own large Australian ISP OzEmail.. there are some concerns about their future.
VIAHW have a preview of SiS648, that company's new P4 DDR chipset.
NeoSeeker have their preview of the New Radeon chipsets from ATI. 3DVelocity have part 2 of their writeup about them. HotHardware have even more coverage about their performance.
BetaOne have some rumours about WindowsXP Activation and copyright control changes, thanks OZEight. If you're using XP but not happy, perhaps this tweaking guide will help.
X-Bit have an article all about Anti-Aliasing, for better image quality.
Dan added 3 more coolers to his gargantuan comparison.
ExplosiveLabs have a i845E Motherboard Roundup posted, for P4 CPU's and DDR memory.
NHD says that this is perhaps the smallest website on the net.. even though it has blogs and even pong.
The Shizz sent in this gun controller for games.. looks really good, but I bet the "gaming makes kids killers" brigade will be having kittens about it.
Interesting article on NewScientist about the psychology of spamming.. thanks Alex.
Munkiboy spotted more info on Hitachi's watercooled laptop. Not to be outdone, Ownt have info on a laptop with a removable, wireless keyboard and mouse from Toshiba.
HarBinger says there's a newish WCPUID out. Always good to keep up-to-date with this freebie CPU/chipset info utility.
VR-Zone want to tell you how to get the biggest 3DMark2001SE score for your system. They got 17230 which is, err, not bad at all.
These guys have been quiet for a while, but RMesler reminded me about Afrotech, an extremely "ghetto" hardware site.
MikhailTech modded a 1RU Cooler for use on a GF4.. cooler and quieter, nice one.
d0nk3yk0ng sent in this (hosted on OCAU) 1.9MB video of a internal modem in a microwave that he was emailed. No idea who the original creator was or why you would do this, but at least now we know for sure that it's a really bad idea. :)
