Evil Inside - Double Your Pleasure @ Modfathers??
Published: Monday, January 5, 2004 | By: DennisThey are talking about dual processing. Dually options have been pretty sparse ever since Intel removed the option from current Pentium 4 processors but we still wait for the return of SMP.
"The initial assumption that I see people make right off the bat once I even bring up the topic of a dual processor computer is that since it has two processors it should then be twice as fast, right? I mean after all isn't 2000 Mhz x 2 = 4000 MHz? Wrong."

Transcend DDR500 Review @ Legit Reviews
Published: Monday, January 5, 2004 | By: Dennis"The modules are rated at DDR500 (500MHz) with timings of 3-4-4-8, 1T, but only require 2.6 Volts for operation. This is lower than any DDR500 modules that we have seen! It will be interesting to see if these modules run cooler and see how the headroom is with higher voltages."
Same timings found on the Corsair TwinX XMS4000 modules that we reviewed. -

The case comes with a variety of lights and even has a "windowed" option for those less blessed with case modding skill and initiative. (aka lazy

Say Hello to iChicken
Published: Saturday, January 3, 2004 | By: DennisEver heard of iChicken?? Neither did I until a former co-worker and NinjaForum member, mikecpeck, directed me to his latest creation and possibility one of the best iPod commercial parodies around.
The high res download is about 6 megs and requires Quicktime 6 to view. Check it out. -

The guts of a Gamecube @ enscape
Published: Friday, January 2, 2004 | By: Dennis"So now you have the front flipped down and you can see the LED looking at you. I know you want to replace it, go ahead. Nintendo won't hate you for it - no! In fact they will just cancel your warranty."
I never believed how small the Gamecube was until I finally saw one in person; the thing is super tiny being only slightly larger than a full sized CD. -

Chaintech ZNF3-150 Review @ ipKonfig
Published: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | By: Dennis"Overall we're impressed with the first motherboard from Chaintech aimed at the AMD Athlon 64. There are many items packaged with its product, as is quite common from Chaintech, and of those, many are actually used frequently. We also like the fact that the rounded cables supplied are extremely flexible, a nice addition for those cramped computer cases we're all too familiar with."
We liked the Chaintech ZNF3-150 Athlon64 motherboard as well; the system was super stable and came with a huge amount of extra goodies. The only downside to the current nForce3 scene is the pending release of the nF3-250 that promises to sport better performance and hopefully better overclocking.
