On a side note based on photos from Anandtech the Hammer proc uses the same package as the P4 heat spreader and all.

Published: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 | By: DennisI really like the attachment name "'JENNA-JAMESON-FREE-SUPERFUCK.TXT.vbs'". Anyhow update your virus defs, scan your email, and don't click on attachments. Or you could use a different email program like Pegasus Mail and not have to worry.

SiS645DX Chipset Review @ x-bit labs
Published: Monday, April 22, 2002 | By: Dennisx-bit labs gives us an in-depth look at the SiS645DX that has unofficial DDR400 memory support and a sporty new 533MHz Front Side Bus. The unfortunate thing is that this chipset will soon be shadowed by the next-generation SiS648 and SiS648DX in May which ironically is around the same time the 533MHz Pentium 4 Processors will be released, Can you say "waste of time?" I knew you could.

533MHz FSB P4 boards in May
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2002 | By: DennisAccording to this article the 533MHz FSB chipsets and processors will be on the market sometime in May but manufactures are having trouble dumping their current stock of 400MHz parts.
It makes you wonder, Since AMD announced that they have lost money and the outlook for the new faster P4 FSB looking weak, is the economy is still that bad? Or has everyone already gotten the computer that they want??
