Published: Friday, June 21, 2002 | By: DennisNo this isn't some strange ATI/nVidia hybrid but rather Msi getting creative. From the photos I gather we have all the standard GeForce4 offerings with Video In/Out and a TV tuner. Pretty much all you need to bring your entertainment center to the PC.

Intel Roadmap Though 2Q of 2k3
Published: Friday, June 21, 2002 | By: DennisRoadmaps are fun to read and usually give a very accurate account as to what is to come.
"Although executives at the firm have repeatedly said that it will have a 3GHz processor by the end of the year, the latest roadmaps still peg the chip at 2.80GHz." -
Win One for Intel
Published: Friday, June 21, 2002 | By: DennisLooks like VIA's case was kicked out saying there was no market abuse on Intel's side. Though I discovered something new, it would appear that Intel refused to sell a P4 technology license to VIA. I thought it was the other way around, maybe they didn't offer Intel enough money.

Slackware 8.1
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2002 | By: DennisThe newest version of Slackware has been released today and is ready for download. If you have the bandwidth and a CD burner I'd suggest getting the ISO. Of course if you don't have the bandwidth for 40bux US you can get the Slackware box set that includes everything on 4 CD's.
" Highlights of this release include KDE 3.0.1, GNOME 1.4.1 (with new additions like Evolution), the long-awaited Mozilla 1.0 browser, support for many new filesystems like ext3, ReiserFS, JFS, and XFS, and support for several new SCSI and ATA RAID controllers. " -
News From the Weird
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 | By: DennisIt would appear that fast food is causing schoolgirls to become nymphomaniacs, but there is hope from this gynecologist that runs a free sex consultation clinic. Sounds fishy to me but whatever it takes to help the kids.
" A tendency for getting their lips around a Whopper has turned Japanese schoolgirls into Nippon's naughtiest nymphomaniacs, according to Shukan Gendai (6/29)." -
Soltek P4 Motherboard Overclocked to 800MHz!
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 | By: DennisAccording to the news I just received using an engineering sample Pentium 4 1.7GHz processor the R&D team at Soltek was able to overclock the chipset to from 133MHz to 200MHz for a final FSB of 800MHz. Disclaimer: engineering sample processors are normally unlocked for multiplier adjustments.
It would appear they have come up with a bios version that will lock the PCI and AGP clocks to their respective speeds allowing just the CPU clock to be elevated and is available for the SL-85MIR series boards now. -
Matrox Parhelia Board Specs.
Published: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 | By: DennisRiva Station has posted details on the new Parhelia video cards from Matrox and they are rumored to be available by the end of the month.
"Bulk:
128MB DDR,
Chipclock: 200 MHz,
Memoryclock 250 MHz (DDR),
Price: about $349"
Retail:
128MB DDR,
Chipclock: 220 MHz,
Memoryclock 275 MHz (DDR),
Price: $399
So it looks like we could buy bulk and overclock or spend the extra fiddy and know it works.

"A trend of overclocking the set memory frequency is escalating in the motherboard market. Industry sources said that the situation suggests manufacturers have become more impatient about following Intel’s specifications development step by step." -
Another Slow News Day
Published: Monday, June 17, 2002 | By: DennisOnce again the wealth of tech news has dwindled some so I figured this is the next best thing. Pulp Phantom is a Starwars Pulp Fiction spoof that is damn funny.
