Funny Stuffs
Published: Wednesday, February 4, 2004 | By: DennisWhen tech news is slow we can always turn to the daily or semi daily funnies to keep us entertained.
Here is my daily regiment of humor.
- Megatokyo
- Penny Arcade
- Real Life Comics (this guy is a heavy Pepsi drinker like me)
- Little Gamers
- Player vs. Player (PVP)
Dilbert is also a good one on occasion, take today's comic for example.
Time to get your funny on.. -
Corsair TwinX PC4400 DDR550 Memory Review @ Tweaknews
Published: Wednesday, February 4, 2004 | By: DennisDDR550 is pretty dang fast for today’s computers but there are a few overclockers out there that enjoy testing the limits of their silicon.
"Contrary to the what the two mainstream chip manufacturers would want, overclocking is a strong and growing portion of what is driving computer sales today. To counter against the overclocking onslaught, chip manufacturers have in both cases locked the chip multiplier and locked the enthusiast out of pushing the CPU core high than stock. For example, Intel(r) has successfully locked the end user out of the ability to manipulate the multiplier for a couple of years now."
Don't forget that another side benefit of having super fast memory is the ability to run the modules with tighter timings in the lower FSB/memory speed ranges. -
Soyo SY-CK8 Dragon Plus Review @ 3DXtreme
Published: Monday, February 2, 2004 | By: Dennis"As you can see, we managed some pretty decent numbers on overclocking, and might have possibly gone higher if we increase Vcore some more. We will soon be looking at a water cooling unit and will definitely revisit overclocking this chip again at that time. We also expect some faster RAM soon which will help us achieve better FSB at 1:1 as the CPU is certainly able to handle DDR450 speeds."
The Athlon64 isn't really a strong overclocker like the Pentium 4 and AthlonXP are but it doesn’t need to be due to the great out of box performance. Though as the chip matures overclocking should improve to the "watch out!" category. -
Socket 939 Photo
Published: Monday, February 2, 2004 | By: DennisThe socket looks actually very similar to the Socket 940 with just one pin missing from the corner, Not really super exciting but still pretty cool. For those of you living under a rock the 939 is the Athlon64 FX is the cool one that doesn't require registered memory.

No News This Morning
Published: Monday, February 2, 2004 | By: DennisMonday news is going to be a little lacking today due to my current schedule. Plenty of stuff came in and only a portion of it will be posted, just later.
On a side note did anyone see Janet's breast on TV during the Super Bowl? kind of yummy.
Prescott also was released and once again Intel didn't send us one. Shame on them but looking back I'm kind of glad, processor reviews are sooo boring.
