Xbox Mod Chip Maker Shut Down
Published: Thursday, October 3, 2002 | By: DennisMicrosoft has gone to great lengths to enhance security in the Xbox and now they are going after mod chip companies to "tie up loose ends" so to speak.
"Lik Sang was one of the top worldwide retailers of mod chips, devices that, once soldered to a game console's main circuit board, disable security components. The chips typically allow a game machine to play legally and illegally copied discs, run unauthorized software and play game discs intended for other geographic regions." -

New Athlons This Week
Published: Monday, September 30, 2002 | By: Dennis" Advanced Micro Devices Inc. will roll out its fastest processors yet, the Athlon XP 2800+ and 2700+, during a news conference on Tuesday, according to sources close to the company."
I thought these processors where delayed until around Christmas, I'm not going to be one to complain though.
"The new chips, in addition to running at higher frequencies than the current top-of-the-line 2600+, will feature a 333MHz front side bus, which should enable the 2800+ to perform about 10 percent faster than the 2600+ with its 266MHz front side bus. " -
Itanium Bet gets "Iffy"?
Published: Monday, September 30, 2002 | By: Dennis"Google -- the Internet's leading search engine, powered by an arsenal of computers with 15,000 microprocessors -- should be a premier customer for Intel's new Itanium 2 super-chip.
Itanium, a joint project of Intel and Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Valley's two largest companies, has been in the laboratory for more than a decade. Itanium is designed to excel at a sweeping array of advanced computing tasks, from solving grand scientific challenges to rendering complex graphics to slicing through vast databases. With more than 200 million transistors on each chip, it is designed to process data in big bites -- 64 bits, in chipspeak -- at blazing speeds.
But Google isn't buying."
